Wheeler Gorge

Great place to escape the city. Hosts were great, sites were very clean as well as up keep of restrooms. Can’t wait to return.

A lovely place nestled in the beautiful hills of Ojai. Plenty of water wading activities for the kiddos and they are sure to have a blast.

Great dry camping spot

There was a very loud group very close to ys. They were so loud all night long till midnight. It was horrible! Other than the place is very nice and the creek is running. You can swim in it.

No running water at any time. Your signs say to drowned your campfire, but you don’t even have water. The camp holes Michelle, Randy, and another gentleman were all very nice. When we arrivedThe trash bins were sealed and overflowing outside the bins for a couple days which was pretty gross. We did have a beer siding, and the camp hosts came around and advised us which was nice. The bathrooms were as clean as they could be for as many people that was up there. No cell service of any kind which is a safety matter. It was beautiful, very warm, And we did have a good time.I brought my RV and I was in spot number six, and had to put the back wheels up on tire lifts which ended up sinking into the Pavement that was uneven and had a lot of holes. I would still recommend this place to many campers, because the camp hosts Were awesome and the cost was very reasonable. We did have a relaxing time And it’s very primitive. But, I enjoyed that part of it too. Thank you, James

very special camping spot!

Campsite isn’t bad but is butt up against another site and an opposing site from another loop has their back to the site. Also closer to the highway. So there is road noise. Would definitely and try to get a site next to the creek instead.

Nice shady site, but noisy from the road because my site was too close.
I had hard time to find the entrance initially.
Hiking trail is very nice, half of trail is shady.

Really nice site and super friendly camp hosts when we were there. We were on site 007 which is small in comparison to the other campsites but it it right there on the creek and the kids had a blast discovering the waters edge. Mosquitoes were a major pain in the rear, so bring your spray! There are these little tiny mice that come out at night and go through any food left out so you need to pack it in when you go to bed. They are cute and they live in the tree to the right --- but we found them everywhere and one even made it's way into the tent. There is a highway right across from your site but only one car in an hour went by at night. There are also some pretty noisy bullfrogs until about midnight, then they all quit like they have a built-in clock!

Hosts were great. Campground is gorgeous! Creek sounds all night long! Lots of kids around. Bathrooms were vault, which means "cement port-a-potty." The town of Ojai is a short scenic drive to replenish supplies or sit at Starbucks to use wifi, because there is no wifi or cell service at the campground. Lake Casitas is nearby by car. You can rent a boat for the day and cruise around the lake. (No swimming allowed) Rose Valley Falls is a close drive too, The hike is very short. There wasn't that much water falling, but it was still cool and refreshing and beautiful! I highly recommend this campground! Some sites are absolute gems! others... meh...
