Campground is so beautiful. The creek makes it so enjoyable. The campground hosts were so kind, helpful, and hospitable.

It was our first time visiting Wheeler Gorge and we reserved campsites 51 and 52. We loved them! You get beautiful views of the mountain, creek access, and just the right amount of privacy.

DO NOT CAMP AT SITE #52.
We love Wheeler Gorge, but this site was horrible. No redeeming qualities. I'm surprised they pass this area off as a campsite! The entire spot is on a steep slope with large rocks jutting out, no access to the creek, no shade (except a 5'x5' area under bushes covered in bees and poison oak), the highway traffic is loud nearby, and the neighbors are extremely close.
I've camped at Wheeler Gorge before and loved it, but this site is awful. Avoid site #52!

I hope that our experience was an exception to the rule, but I feel compelled to briefly share why we'll never come back to Wheeler Gorge. 1) the pit toilets smelled awful and the smell permeated well beyond the structures to our campsite that was several hundred feet away. (and it was October, not summertime.) 2) the lack of water was a pretty big pain, and there are plenty of other campgrounds nearby that don't have this restriction, and 3) the flies were absolutely awful buzzing in my eyes and ears the entire time the sun was up. It got so bad/frustrating that we left the campground and drove down to Ojai for lunch just to escape the bugs. 4) the site next to us had ~7 tents, and about 20-30 people (they were NOT at a group site!), and were partying/shouting/being drunk and swimming in the creek/playing amplified music until 2am. As one of my friends said, "They're not camping, they're having a house party at a campground." The campground hosts did nothing to stop them, and in fact seemed to be helping them park all of their cars despite the clear rules on # of cars (and people, tents) per site. Honestly, it seems like these dudes were friends with the hosts and so they just let these Ojai townies break all the rules and ruin the peace and quiet of the campground. At one point, my friend politely asked if they could turn down the music so that we could enjoy some quiet time around the fire (about 30 minutes after the 10pm quiet hours began), and it almost turned into a physical altercation because these guys were so belligerently drunk. Never again...
