Wheeler Gorge

Fantastic campground, great location along a beautiful creek. The campsites are clean and well maintained. The pit toilets aren't bad as far as pit toilets go. The hosts are super friendly and helpful. My only complaint is the firewood is overpriced. Overall though, this is one of our favorite spots!

Loved our stay! Site 70 has a ton of canopy trees for shade, its a little smaller, two tents maybe 3 if you're squeezing will fit. Site 69 is actually next to site 68. The map was a little decisiving :) exploring the creek was so much fun we can't wait to come back!

We stayed in campsite #42 and loved it. We have a large tent and there was plenty of flat ground to pitch it on. The creek was right across the road and easy to access. The hosts were great and checking in with all the campers regularly. There was some poison oak, but easily avoidable. Wheeler Gorge is one of our favorite places to camp because of the creek and how lovely the sites are.

Wheeler Gorge was a lot of fun and very beautiful. I don’t know if it is intentional but campsite 18 just has an insane amount of boulders and rocks. Lots of tripping for little ones and some of the adults. Also maybe I overlooked this detail somewhere but I got tons of horsefly bites. Bring your bug spray!!!!!

Wheeler gorge itself is a great camping location. Here is the thing though, I dont know in what world and how did the designers of this campground decide to put campsite 57 and public bathrooms in the same exact spot. None of the pictures show the bathrooms, and the sattelite map shows the site a lot further from the bathrooms than it actually is. Theres not even enough room to put up a tent in this campsite. Essentially if you stand up in this campsite, people are actually going to think you're in line for the bathrooms. The site shouldn't even exist. The host was very understanding of the situation and accommodated us with two other campsites where we had to move our camp in order not to overlap with other peoples' reservations.

We stayed in camp ground #24. It was very shaded. The down side it was really close to campsite 23 so we could hear there whole conversations. It's also right next to the highway, so u can hear cars zooming by every now and then. No running water on site, so we took a 5 gallon jug for three of us and it worked out. The toilets were ok, they maintenance them daily so they don't smell bad. Overall the campsite was great.

The creek had a good amount of water in it and our 7 year old loved hopping around the rocks.

Mosquitos are so present and ate me alive, but we didn't have bug spray just some bracelets that did not work.
My family had a great time.

Had site 40, 41 & 43. Imo 41 & 43 are the best in the whole campground. 41 is right on the stream (bring bug spray though!) and was our “home base” where we all hung out. 43 is a short walk up the road from 41, & had the best swimming hole. 40 was right across from 41 had lots of very fun boulders scattered around. Even though it borders the creek, you could not access it directly due to overgrown poison oak. 40 also had a lot of boulders around the fire pit area so would have been more challenging to work around if you are camping with a bunch of people.

This is a great place, totally off grid, you must bring everything including potable water. There is a nice river that runs through the center of the park. It has plenty of shade trees everywhere and the sites are very big. There are a few hiking trails in the area, one at the end of the park, but be aware there is lots of poison oak. Fire wood is available and i believe all sites have a fire ring and pinic table, most have charcoal grills. The park rangers are very friendly as is teh camp host.
Ojai is just a few mile south on teh 33 and a fun town to visit.

Had a great time. Kids loved the creek.

Had a great Time at this campground will definitely come back 😃👍
