Briefly about the general area:
Some of the water close by flows, like Roosevelt Creek; if you came to camp Gamboa Campground is a wonderful place to do that. There are some good whitewater spots on Arroyo Seco River; since you're
here you will meet lots of people from nearby Salinas.
Now, you may feel that's lots but there's even more cool stuff to do here in the Santa Lucia Range. Get yourself into a kayak and hit Arroyo Seco River, and camping at Ojito Campground is always a fine experience.
