The Santa Barbara County Parks department officially renamed a camping area at Cachuma Lake as “Chumash Meadows” during a special ceremony on June 28.
The official unveiling of the campground sign was accompanied by remarks from county officials and leaders from the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. The tribe’s spiritual leader also performed a ceremonial blessing on the campground.
The campground is at the northern end of the park in an area formerly called “El Dorado Vista.”
