Foster Park Campground sits just off Highway 33 in Ventura County, tucked into the same grounds where a historical town once stood before road construction cleared it away. Managed by the County of Ventura, the campground runs seasonally from May through September 30 and provides both tent sites and RV sites with full hookups, including electric, water, and sewer connections. No showers on-site. The Foster Park Residence Campground and Foster Red Mountain are nearby alternatives within the same area if this location is at capacity.
Shade coverage varies noticeably by site. Sites deeper into the campground, closer to the hillside, tend to have heavier tree cover from mature oaks, while some spots near the entrance get considerably more sun. Road noise from Highway 33 is a real factor at sites closest to the road, and reviewers also flag wasp activity during daytime hours as something to plan around, particularly at mealtimes. Cell service is limited or absent at many sites, though it returns once you reach the highway.
The Ojai-Ventura bike trail runs through the park, connecting to both Ojai and Ventura, and hiking trails branch out through the surrounding terrain. Brandon C. notes the campground is "covered with plenty of mature trees for nice shade," and also confirms "clean restrooms but no showers." Ventura's coastline is roughly 10 minutes by car, making this a workable base for campers splitting time between the hills and the beach. Campers planning a longer stay in the region can explore campsites near Foster Park for additional options.
