Faria Beach Park, near Ventura, California, is a vibrant campground that captures the essence of beachside living. With its close proximity to the ocean, you can expect a laid-back atmosphere where the sound of waves becomes your soundtrack.

This spot is known for its stunning ocean views and easy beach access, thanks to a staircase right from the campground. Visitors rave about the friendly vibe, with one camper noting, “Everyone is friendly and happy and in a good mood.” The sites are snug, but that just adds to the communal feel, making it a great place to meet fellow campers.

Amenities include clean bathrooms and showers, though you’ll need quarters for those hot showers. There’s also a small café on-site that serves up tasty breakfast burritos and burgers, perfect for fueling up before a day of exploring. If you’re into biking or running, you’ll find plenty of scenic paths nearby, including routes that lead up to Santa Barbara.

While the campground can get busy, especially during peak times, the breathtaking views and the chance to spot dolphins make it worth it. Whether you’re camping in a tent or an RV, Faria Beach Park offers a unique blend of relaxation and adventure right by the Pacific Ocean.

Beachy casual

I'm giving this place 5 stars, because even though it's cramped and packed and awkward to maneuver through, it's got the casual and fun beach vibe that we love about this area.

You're right on the beach, with easy access to the beach via stairs. This campground is very close to Rincon, but the setup is totally different. Rincon is basically just a parking space on the road, while Faria is a regular campground. The drive down from the main road is pretty steep with a sharp turn, I'm surprised more RVs don't scrape and cause damage on the way down.

The sites here are very close together, but it doesn't matter. Everyone is friendly and happy and in a good mood. The cafe is fun and seems to be a hangout for bikers riding along Hwy 1. We love it here.

Beach Front Camping At Its Best

It's a nice little site. It's not too crowded, as there aren't too many sites within the campground. You are packed in like sardines, but this is conducive to every beachfront campground. 

The place is clean and easy to get to. There are signs to lock your stuff up so it doesn't get stolen. The person next to me said they got their bike stolen the last time they were there. 

The view is amazing of course. There is nothing else in the area, no shopping.  

Good area if you plan to ride or run. You could ride up to Santa Barbara from here and run along the beach path.  You could also ride up to Lake Casitas and make a loop out of it.

Dolphins & your own rocky beach

If I could live here I would. Dolphins passing by constantly, small campground so few people around even when full. Limited hours but cute little cafe. Quarter hott showers and clean bathrooms. It was 70’ in December. I love you California.

Any water front spot is perfection

Favorite so far

Summary: by far my favorite place ever. For someone who needs to hear the ocean this is that spot! Privacy: small spots, angled well for your own beach if you’re on the water. Hookups at some sites, campfires only allowed at some sites. Location: right off the highway, don’t hear the highway though, low traffic and loud waves Cleanliness: sites and bathrooms kept very clean. Bathrooms/showers: great and clean !! Service: att 4 bars great Surrounding areas for food: Cute market on site with great selection. Look up hours before arriving. Surrounding areas for things to do: beach Parking: easy to back into spots , I only have a van but the rv seemed to do just fine even with the steep entrance into the park. Wi-Fi: available for free

So close to the beach. For someone who needs to hear the ocean this is the spot. Yes your spots are close together, but just make sure to get one on the water. You’ll never want to leave.

Amazing Beach Views

Great leveled dirt/gravel space that overlooked the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Check in 12:00 am Check out 11:00 am

Small snack bar with fresh food but limited hours.

Bathrooms were well stocked and clean. We saw squirrels, rabbits, dolphins, sea lions and birds.

I loved this campground due to the oceanfront views.

Amazing beach camping!

We've been do this campground multiple times all throughout the year; although the best time to go is in the later summer-fall for the warmest weather.  All the campsites have an ocean view and the staircase to the beach is in the campground.  There is also a little cafe that serves breakfast and lunch.  BEST breakfast burritos and hamburgers!!  You're also a few miles from downtown Ventura for a night out and live music.

Local R&R

Faria Beach Park (also known as Pitas Point by surfers), is the perfect getaway for surfers and beach lovers alike. In the winter, large winter storms bring waves to Faria leading surfers to flock to its shore, and campgrounds. The campgrounds have RV hook ups, and offer the perfect view of the ocean. Campgrounds run $35-$39 and RV hooks up go for $50-$58. There is also a concession stand that offers food and refreshments, perfect for the picnic table. The campsite is well maintained but gets busy during the prime times of the year. Any groceries and supplies can be purchased at Ventura, a 15 minute drive away. For beach lovers, low tide at Faria offer tide pools and a stretch of sand to lay out on or run with the puppy. There are available restrooms, free outdoor showers, trash disposal area and fire pits available at select paid campsites. Faria Beach RV Park is the best camping opportunity to be on the beach, while enjoying the beauty of the Pacific Ocean!

Mostly rv’s, a few tent campers

It’s easy to get to. Always hard to find a spot, it’s first come, first serve. But once you’re in, it’s totally worth it! The food at the cafe is awesome! The host is so friendly & helpful with info if you need help getting a spot. The beach is super clean and dog-friendly.
