I love this place. It was our first time camping there and it was amazing, big trees, beautiful views and also a creek where the kids played. I’ll be going back for sure.

This great location with scenic views, access to the water, decent amenities, and convenient proximity to Ojai is plagued with loud and obnoxious group campers who do not obey the quiet time rule.

I love this campground and have come here for the past 5 years. I chose this campground to be the location of my birthday camping trip.
Unfortunately, while camping here another camper entered our campsite without our consent, and made discriminatory remarks towards me and my friends related to our race.
The camp hosts were incredibly unprofessional. They lacked basic training and took actions that further inflammed the situation, leading me and my friends to feel unsafe, and ultimately having to leave the campground early.
A trip that was supposed to be joyful was ultimately traumatizing.
The level of bigotry and lack of basic safety and de-escalation training is concerning. If you are a person of color please be careful if you choose to camp here.

Very nice area next to a river. However the BBQ was slanted 30 degrees and firepit was not in great shape either. The campsite and local trail is in need of maintenance. PS the spickets do not have running water anymore.

Awesome location, an overall nice experience.
On some spots it's a little bit hard to put tent pegs in the ground without a proper hammer.
