Any place to dry camp or Boondock near Solvang/Buelton?

Look up the directions to Rancho Oso CG(its a Thousand Trails Park) but the public is welcome. Now the reason I mention Rancho Oso is that on your way to this CG, off Paradise Road, there at at least two National Park Service CG's. All of them dry camping and everytime Ive driven by them, there empty. These Cg's put you about 15-20 miles from Solvang and only a few miles to Cachuma.
