Really pretty grounds. Our little path down to the creek felt private. It was special. I always forget how close camping slips are to each other, but that's the nature of state campgrounds, I guess. The hosts were protective of the camp and that made me feel safe, which was important as we were two women camping. They came around once and asked if we needed more wood, which was cool. We had a great time and I hope to be back. Thank you.

This place is a gem! The camp hosts are incredibly friendly and thorough driving by frequently to make sure everything is just right. Absolutely no cellular service here so it is a true getaway.

Fun little campground located just north of the town of Ojai. Very fun first-timer experience for my wife and I and definitely want to go back and explore the surrounding area more.

Hosts were awesome
--They sell firewood bundles ($10), good sites by the creek, just beware of high wind and the strange 3 night minimum

Good times. Number 35 is a beautiful campground. Right next to the creek! The water fall was sooooo loud! It was awesome! The entire ground and unleveled and rocky, kind of hard to find a spot to set up camp. Still beautiful tho 😍😍😍
