Campground in California
Once used extensively by local ranchers for dairy production and cattle grazing, this land was acquired by the federal government in the 1940s to establish Camp San Luis Obispo. The camp was used for training purposes by the U.S. Army during WWII and the Korean Conflict. In 1972, the land was deeded to the County, during President Nixon’s “Legacy of Parks” program, to be managed as a natural park and recreational area for the citizens and visitors of San Luis Obispo County.
