"Campground Pros: Easily accessible from Ojai, easy drive from LA area; lots of shade; streams running through the campground; clean vault toilets; nice camp hosts that will warn you about the poison oak"

$45 - $180 / night
"Anacapa section is right next to a large grassy area and park. We like to take our dog to play fetch there and we take out daughter to the park at least a few times a day. "

$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."
"Walking to the top of the campground presents an awesome view of the Ojai valley. Camp hosts were great and really attend to campers."

"Emma Woods was a nice little get away, we stayed for one night, we couldn't leave the cats behind for too long.
"
"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. "
"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."
"The KOA is consistent with its name, meaning the kids amenities are all there, trampoline pillow, nice walking trails, walking labyrinth, and of course the adventure course and zip lines which are great"
$43 - $47 / night
"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. "
" This is one of our favorite spots, incredible ocean views and 1 1/2 mile dog friendly beach. Each site, along old PCH, is 45' long. Spots along the seawall can accommodate bigger rigs."
"The ADORABLE town of Ojai is a quick 5 min drive up the road with anything you could ever want! The camp host is an amazing older guy, who’s incredibly friendly and takes pride in this campground!"
"Camp Comfort in Ojai - i didn't know what to expect but was pleased how amazing it is. A small campground with 16 full RV hookup sites and a camphost run by the county and decent priced."
"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."
"A family of 2 peahens, a peacock, and 3 babies hung out near the creek. Beautiful birds. After walking around the creek for an hour, I came back to see a few bundles of wood left for me."
$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 !!"

GuidePicked up a travel trailer in Ojai and camped at lake casitas. Had electric and water in the ‘Indian’ camp area. The place is massive. Camp store was well stocked- even had discs for the disc golf course. Located about 5 miles from Ojai. Would go back
GuideCampground Pros: Easily accessible from Ojai, easy drive from LA area; lots of shade; streams running through the campground; clean vault toilets; nice camp hosts that will warn you about the poison oak
Campground Cons: no running water available; fire ban (the nights that we stayed); a lot of the sites are very close together; two-night minimum to make a reservation (not a huge deal though); poison oak around sites
Ojai is a lovely place to visit, plenty of hiking trails in the area, great spots to eat in town, and very bike friendly. Overall the campsite had a great vibe, but not having water was a bummer.
LegendEconomical for California and the area. Off the beaten path from all the craziness by the beach.
We are just passing through CA or it would not be my top spot. They nickel and dime a lot of things, showers pets. We paid online and we pull up and all of a sudden getting charged $5 a day extra for pets including a cat that doesn't leave the camper. Was not thrilled about that.
Otherwise, it was scenic, had a camp store, was close to restaurants, had a gate to drive into, so the place was pretty secure. Seemed like a lot of people gathered on the weekends.
We had the dirt campground which wasn't my favorite but all that was left, while the other campgrounds had cement pads. It was still pretty level.We did have cell reception, nice views and they had a water park for kids during summer months, though wasn't open while we were there.
ScoutClose to town but no cell signal, this place is amazing! Large camping area and I’ve never felt crowded ! Quarter showers and laundry, and a dog park! Lots of deer in the area and Great Lake to fish at! They also offer some hook ups for the rv campers
GuideWhile visiting Los Padres National forest on a Valentines Weekend, we unfortunately couldn’t do much camping near the higher altitudes due to high wind gusts so we headed toward the other camps, Davy Brown and Nina. Only problem was these were all reserved!! Why I hate most camping in California Bc nothing is ever available. Either way I hate these type of campgrounds where there are fire pits, and bathrooms, and typically more humans nearby. So we ditched that and settled on a campsite off the road since the sun was setting. It was off one of the many horse/hike trails and was at least flat and somewhat further from the road and hidden by brush and trees. It was a nice night and enjoyed a quiet night alone on the forest. We only needed to do an overnight since we were doing the wineries and we’re staying at an bed and breakfast the next night. Overall it was nice but rather stay in 2 other spots we found that could make for future camping trips. ☺️⛺️
TravelerIt's easy to get yourself into nature out here near Ojai and this spread out campground is also easy to get to. Right off a main road just out of town, with running water and bathrooms.
This site allows both fires and pets. Plenty of spaces for all types of campers.
It gets three stars because it's usually crowded and can be loud at night depending on road traffic and other campers
TravelerLovely place and lovely staff! It’s a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. They also have heated pool and jacuzzi, clean showers, and bathrooms. Trail and dog park available. Just kinda sucks you hear the cars passing at the 101. But I’d still come back.
GuideEverything‘s clean and orderly. Pool area is nice with a nice hot tub. Friendly staff and the grounds are well kept. Nice dog park. Not much road noise from the 101. Has all the modern conveniences. And all this comes with a price. It is pricey, but there’s a lot of amenities.
