About

State Park

Lake Piru camping is located in Ventura County, California, in the Los Padres National Forest next to the Sespe Condor Sanctuary. You would never know it floating on our peaceful lake, but we are less than an hour away from Los Angeles. Visitors to our campground can also enjoy the uncrowded beaches of Ventura, Venice, and Santa Monica.

Lake Piru offers level tree-shaded camping sites, clean restrooms, coin operated hot showers and a fully stocked store to meet most camping and boating needs. Motor homes, trailers and truck campers are welcome. Lake Piru has paved roads, tree-shaded sites, and a convenient dump station.

Our day use and picnic area includes lots of grass space to play, a playground, plenty of picnic tables, wooden awnings, a horseshoe pit and a 9-hole disc golf course.

We also have Two Group campsites available for your family reunion & big get together. Please note that all campsites do come with a Picnic table & fire ring with a grill top.

Good for a family, mediocre for an adventurer

This campsite is relatively populated and close to other camp sites. It's a little hard to feel like you're getting away with how close the sites are to each other. However, it was clean and a nice place to stay.

This would be awesome for a family as it's sort of 'easy-mode' camping.

For a group of adults looking to get away/escape I will not be going back.

Decent Spot

Clean areas. We were placed away from all the tent campers. Staff was friendly and helpful. Tighter spots for anything over 25ft. ONLY AT&T works. Wifi is $9/day for one device. No antenna channels found from our spot.

Cows and eagles and a lake!

Hot in June and windy. Still a great getaway. Wish the swim beach was larger. The dock is fun to go out on. The store is small but has a few things. The lake is beautiful. Cows come through the picnic are. There’s a bald eagle nest nearby.
