Place to Camp Within Walking Distance of Campus

<p>I'll be attending UCSB in the fall. Next week is my orientation from Thursday-Friday. My friends have recently decided they wanted to come check out Santa Barbara so we were hoping to save myself some money and camp out by (or near) the beach and close (<2 miles) to campus. We were also planning to have some fun during this time so I might be slightly hungover the next morning which is why walking distance is a must.</p>

<p>I'm going with two others and need a place to pitch a tent. Suggestions? Also, an area where there would be low police presence would be a bonus! And I don't need a barbecue pit or showers or anything...just a place to pitch a tent!</p>
