This report on inciweb.org seems the most current and accurate. The site gets heavy use and takes time to load:
http://inciweb.org/incident/3394/
Note that the number of "evacuees", whether residents, campers, other, is estimated at 2000-3000 by the sheriff's department, and frankly, with that big a discrepancy in the estimate, who knows?
The fire area is sparsely populated, and there are few "campgrounds". The Los Padres NF website mentions nothing (when I looked an hour or so ago, anyway) except the closure of Paradise Road.
News reports are notoriously inaccurate; most of the "reporters" shoot from the hip with whatever baloney they're fed, then use subsequent reports to backtrack and "correct" previously-given information.
It's going to be long, tough, destructive fire season in California.:(
