"This campground is located in Santa Barbara County just west of Ojai. Beautiful mountain scenery. It’s great for tents and RVs.
The lake offers fishing and boating, no body contact."
"A nice feature, (we did not take advantage of), is there is a water slide park near the entrance. As far as I know, this is a separate fee, but nothing astronomical."
$45 - $180 / night
"We live in nearby Santa Barbara, but will use Carp State Beach as a midway meeting point when friends from Southern California and Central California meet up."
"I naively thought the campgrounds wouldn’t be open to capacity and I was hoping for camping not so close to other campers."
$34 - $74 / night
"Of course fire, candles and bug spray help but because of the nice creek nearby its kind of unavoidable. With that said, the bugs go night night at dark and a big fire helps."
"We reserved site #49 which was plenty big enough for our 26ft class c, but the drive through the campground to get to the site was a little narrow and tight, wouldn't recommend for larger RVs."
$40 / night
"There are no toilet facilities here (there are some portapotties at the entrance though - those might be for staff though.).
The only "amenity" this place offers is trash and recycling bins. "
"We parked next to the sea wall great view of the ocean. Ocean almost comes to your door step"
$25 - $28 / night
"There is a small play park at the base of the hill for small children to unwind, but I recommend driving a few miles further into Ojai and visiting Libbey Park."
"The closest flush toilets are closed but there are ones near the road that are nice."
$43 - $47 / night
"127 Slanted or parallel dry camp asphalt spots located along the Pacific Ocean and PCH approx 8 miles north of Ventura and 20 miles south of Santa Barbara off the Seaside Exit."
"We had a dog and newly walking baby with us, so we REALLY had to keep an eye on both of them. We brought little baby gates which helped. "
$30 - $65 / night
"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."
"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 !!"
"The Ventura Beach RV Resort is very nice and a short bike ride or walk from the beach or town. Stay away from the sites in the first row closest to the freeway as those tend to flood."
"Walking distance to beach. Taken well care of. Nice store on grounds. Pool and spa on site."
"Our lot was secluded, private and close to the entrance/exit. The only thing was the unlevel ground we were on. Our RV was a simple 30’ rental without any leveling."
"Feels far from everything, but is only a short drive from LA/SFV. The adjacent town of Santa Paula is a great place to spend time."
"The location is phenomenal - surrounded by hills that bask in a beautiful golden light before sunset, a creek runs along the edge making the area right in front of the hills like a tropical garden -green"
"The best part of this campground is the creek that runs behind it. It's so nice and refreshing on a hot day, and safe for little kids to splash around in."
ScoutTook my partner here for her first camping trip, we had a blast. Plenty of firewood for sale from camp host, flush toilets, potable water from spigots. Definitely a good entry to camping. Close to pyramid lake about 2 miles.
ScoutThis campground is in a pretty canyon with beautiful trees. The staff is super friendly. The problem is, we were in a tent trailer and they have tons of extremely outdoor peacocks. They are beautiful, but screech VERY loudly. They poop everywhere, even on top of our trailer. Our camp site hadn't been picked up at all. There had been a party and confetti. Wrappers etc. were left in the dirt. The bathrooms (too few) were not cleaned and were very old and not kept up. Hard sided rvs would do better at this campground.
LegendJudging by the shape of the office, this place was a 60’s or 70’s KOA back in the day. The trees and bushes are fantastic. However just as our population has gotten larger over the years, so have the RVs. For a 43 footer this place is TIGHT. If you have a big rig, prolly not the best idea. But if you have a 28 footer, this place is Six Stars!!!! It has a pool and spa, great dog walking area. Propane and store are on site
GuideWe had a really good time here without having to travel too far out of the city. Was a great quick getaway with our dog. Sites vary from small and crowded to large and spacious. We camped with our square drop trailer and had little issues parking and setting up.
It seems the campsite attracts a rowdy crowd but that's expected so close to the city. Still, noisy neighbors was definitely the most negative aspect of our stay.
Restrooms were decently clean, showers were good and quarter operated. Peacocks roam the campsite and are really cool to see. The attached park has an aviary and if you follow it to the opposite side of the campgrounds, has quite some land to walk the dog around.
ScoutBeautiful place but it’s very densely packed. There’s a lot of nice sites but ours definitely isn’t one of them. We have a parking space that backs up to a sand hill with a picnic table. There isn’t a fire pit or anywhere to sit that’s not asphalt. The spots on the other side of this strip have grassy areas and more room. The campsite is close to downtown Carpinteria with stores, restaurants, and breweries. There’s also a playground onsite.
ScoutNeeded a one night stay and we came across Paradise Campground in Los Padres National Forest so we took a chance on FCFS availability and loved Site 1 with its beautiful shade trees!
GuideNice flat spot great facility’s
ScoutFelt really clean and cozy! Lots to do nearby!
