Upper Ojai/Santa Paula Camping

My girlfriend and I stayed 1 night at Ross's spot for a day of hiking + Ojai exploration. We enjoyed an incredible sunset from the yoga platform. Awesome little sanctuary that I would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

The site was nice and Ross was great in communicating with me about arrival and other aspects of the site. The yoga platform was a great touch and I enjoyed using it at sunset. Just watch where you step or set up a tent since there are some prickly seeds around.

Ross is a great dude and his properties dope. I’d you’re looking for an excape for the the weekend or night I would highly recommend.

Ross was a great host and extremely responsive and accommodating. This was a really nice option for us when we learned that none of the parks and forests could accommodate campers. The space is large and the scenery is nice, although there are no dedicated areas or zones for camping on the property, it's just a big open space, and no privacy when there are multiple groups. I imagine this would be an ideal place to park your van and sleep if you are a surfer or have other daytime plans. If you are going to pitch a tent, bring a very heavy tarp to protect against the goat thorns.

Ross was wonderful!

The site is great and all you need if you have your camping gear.

Beautiful sunrise and the yoga platform is a delight. Was only a 20 minute drive to the ocean. Hope to stay again soon!

Some stars at night and from the yoga platform the creek sounds are relaxing. Everything Hipcamp is all about. Highly recommend!

Ross's property was safe and a great place to car camp overnight when we were passing through to catch a show at Santa Barbara Bowl. It was the perfect location between the concert and Riverside where we headed the following day. My son discovered the skate park a few minutes away. Flight 126 Cafe at the airport was a beautiful spot for a quick breakfast.

This site exceeding our expectations. We weren’t sure at first when driving down the residential road, and the first sight of the area seemed limited. However, a short walk down a well lit path behind the fire pit led us to a raised platform overlooking a babbling stream, with mountains in the distance and sky full of stars above. Ross was kind and accommodating. Great spot.

Loved this spot! Didn’t get to meet Ross as we were out in Ojai most of the time but he was very helpful and communicative via text :) don’t make the same mistake we did... walk down towards the creek (path is lit, we just didn’t see it until the next morning) and find the camping platform overlooking rolling hills, vineyards and a gently flowing river. Paradise! The outdoor shower was a lovely touch.

Very peaceful spot to camp for the night. Great to get out of the hustle and bustle on Pacific Coast HWY. Awesome shower and host is super friendly.
