To Get To Rancho Alegre:

From any direction, take State Highway 154 (San Marcos Pass Road) from US 101.

From the North:
The main entrance (4) is on the right about a mile past the Cachuma Lake entrance and approximately one-half mile beyond the "Rancho Alegre" sign (3).  (DO NOT turn at this sign, unless you are going to Larsen Meadow.)  Slow after cresting the hill, because the exit is not visible until you are nearly there AND it is a sharp right turn.

From the South:
The main entrance (4) is on the left, approximately 4 miles past the Rancho San Marcos Golf Course turnoff.  The exit is marked with two signs, both on the left side of the road:  a log embedded in the bank says "Rancho Alegre" and a large white hanging sign is marked "Outdoor School".  (For safety reasons - due to the turnoff being at the crest of a hill - we recommend that you pass this location and make a U-Turn (at 3) one-half mile down the road.)

From either direction:
After turning off the highway, follow directional signs.  If going to the main building / camp office (The Frank Family Lodge), continue all the way to the end of the paved road (keep going up).  This road is narrow, winding, and has one blind curve on a grade - so drive very carefully!!
