Arber-Moore's Ranch

6 sites · RVs, Tents22 acres · Oak View, CA

Beautiful natural campsites in the Valley of the Moon (Ojai Valley). Our sites are within an eighth of a mile of walking, running, biking, and riding trails from Ojai to the beaches of Ventura. On many days you can experience Ojai’s famous pink moments. You can hike the trails above Ojai, boat, eat, or picnic at Lake Casitas. Travel to nearby Ventura to shop, fish the pier, or take a deep sea fishing charter or Island charter to Whale watch or fish around the Channel Islands. Please note the aerial view of the camping area recently placed by Hipcamp is NOT AT ALL REPRESENTATIVE of the current camping sites and shows a photo that is many years old when the site was merely land. That photo is without any of the existing amenities or improvements. The actual sites are all Larger than Federal Park and Statepark guidelines, with averages of 20'x30' for campsites and 20'x40' for a long RVCampsite. We have planted many young trees and continue to plant trees and native shrubs around and near the sites. We have picnic tables, table coverings, fire pits, and camping rugs/footprints. There is also an outdoor shower, a shower tent with hot water, and an upgraded porta-potty with a sink. Note: During times when high heat is predicted, we strongly recommend that our Hipcampers bring pop-up shade tents or canopies for their sites. The Hipcamp is adjacent to our working ranch, and any photos of old sheds, trucks, a wood lot, or other equipment are NOT on the Hipcamp, but you will drive past that property to get to the separate Hipcamp area. Wineries, Farmer's Markets, Craft Breweries, dispensaries, and more are within 10 to 15 minutes of our site. Our location allows moments when you may see Hawks, Owls, Geese, Swallows, Robins, Bluebirds, and more. We offer both tent and RV camping. The Majority of our Guests love it here: "Vivian and Dave were exceptional hosts! Easy to contact and find our way to their property. Also gave us a plethora of places to go and things to do in the Ojai area. The area was open and spacious, and many trees and upgrades were in the works to make future stays more user-friendly. Big pluses were the shower and toilet facilities—much appreciated !!"

The Lannd

1 site · RV, Tent2 acres · Lancaster, CA

Out in the Mojave desert not for the faint of heart. Bring your own water, toilet paper, food, and camping gear. True dirt camping with rough terrain, wind, heat, rain and snow in the winter. Cars need to be 4 inches off the ground to make. fire pit is in the ground. There is quail lake if you like to fish and there are ATV’s if you drive north. Not sure about the times. Rake around the fire pit before having fires to prevent wild fires. Thank you

RV camping near Lake of the Woods with fishing guide

Overview

A few minutes' drive down Frazier Mountain Park Road from the community of Frazier Park, Lake of the Woods is a great place to stock up on food and supplies before heading out on a hiking or camping adventure in Los Padres National Forest. There are lots of camping opportunities nearby, most of which are managed by the US Forest Service. While many sites in area campgrounds are reservable, some are only available on a first-come, first-served basis, so it's wise to check in at the Chuchupate Ranger Station if you haven't pre-booked a campground or Hipcamp.

Where to go

Los Padres National Forest

Lake of the Woods is right in Los Padres National Forest, the third-largest national forest in the state. The forest is home to massive stretches of protected wilderness areas, developed campgrounds (many of which are seasonal) along with thermal hot springs, fresh rivers, and endless opportunities for hiking.

Sequoia National Forest

Some of the biggest trees in the land can be found in Sequoia National Forest, a 1.2 million-acre expanse that includes the Giant Sequoia National Monument. Within the forest are 52 developed campgrounds, thousands of rivers, streams, ponds, and lakes, and over 1,100 miles of hiking trails.

California's Central Coast

In the mood for some fresh coastal air? California's Central Coast isn’t too far away. Here you'll find a solid mix of sandy beaches and rocky cliff-lined shores, plus a few fantastic state beach campgrounds.

When to go

Lake of the Woods is a summer destination, and the surrounding area gets lots of visitors during the summer months, when school is out and people from hotter parts of the state descend on the forest for camping and cooling off. The weather stays warm into October, making early autumn a great time to visit when you want to avoid crowds. Winters tend to be mild without much snow, but nearby parts of the forest do get a lot of snowfall, so it’s wise to bring chains.
