The park is well maintained and almost pristine, despite it's high traffic. We camped from Monday to Wednesday and found only three other campers (out of 72 sites.) However, almost every site was reserved for the following weekend.

Beautiful location near Ojai! Chilly in November but still had a nice time.

The creek running under the trees through the campground creates a little paradise. The 'trail' is reallly short. Beware of the poison oak! Toilets were super clean. I lovve this campground

No potable water available. Closest convenience store is 10-15 min drive. Ridiculous. Noisy neighbors/highway heard with large construction trucks. poor signage. What am I paying $$ for again??

We have normally stayed at site 39 due to it had shade, easy access to water, and you could reserve it online. Due to construction our reservation for 39 got canceled, so we decided to try site 38. We have a new favorite site now. This site has a ton of shade, is a good size, and has easy access to the water. The flys were annoying, even with bug spray. If you have a screened awning, I would suggest bringing it to put over the picnic table. Due to fire restrictions we were not able to have a campfire or bbq, which was a bummer, but it was also understandable. We barbecued our hamburgers and hot dogs ahead of time and then heated them up with our propane stove (which is allowed) when we got there. Put your food in your car at night. We forgot one night and woke up to a raccoon munching on a bag of Chex mix! The nature trail was nice and clear, so if you get a chance, go enjoy a short hike.

They lied on the reservations.. there was no first come first serve campsites although the website clearly said there were about ten of these available. I was only able to reserve Thursday night for my three night stay and was going to transfer over to another campsite but nope .. everything was booked. I would have not stayed here if the website hadn’t lied about other “first come first serve” .. won’t come here again

Site N. 38 is really close to Site N.37 not very private, but really nice looking. I recommend for big parties that are thinking about getting more than one camp site, N. 37 & 38 for one large group would be phenomenal. We ended up switching to N. 34 which is crazy good! Private and right next to the creek ??
