Site 1 Oak Tree
The campground itself has a limited number of sites which we absolutely loved. Vivian and Doug were the most gracious and responsive hosts we’ve ever experienced in all our years of camping!! It’s dry almost desert like on years the dam up river isn’t opened but there’s a great little spot to get wet less than a mile away. We came as guests and left as friends. Wonderful people! We will definitely be back!

This is a crowded campground with little privacy from others. A few other campers were noisy pretty late and it made a good night’s sleep a bit difficult, together with the roosters and chickens on the property. The vibe is generally good but we were expecting a quieter spot.

Third time staying here and loved it just as much as the other times! It's well-kept, beautiful and they are always doing upgrades! The shower was amazing and they were kind enough to bring us some fresh eggs one morning. 10/10 would recommend!

This was our first time using Hipcamp and must admit it was great! I really appreciate the site being on private property, so there's peace of mind knowing that our belongings would be safe. Also, the photos and description of each location were on point!
We stayed at Riverside Site 2 and it was really private - and super huge! It was just my partner, me, and our dog and we really enjoyed the large space and not necessarily concerned about people camping next to us. Vivian was a great and informative host and hope to camp at her Hipcamp site again!

I loved camping on Vivian's property. They offer privacy and the property is great for camping. I camped there with my kids and Nice and felt a sense of security.

Had a great stay! Stopped in last minute to have some space to finish some construction in my van and rv spot #2 riverside had so much space to clear out my van and get the work done I needed without anyone too close by to bother. The hot shower was really nice, it is outdoor with no lights at night but I had a lantern and it was a great shower after a day of working. Thanks Vivian and David

Camp sites are large and spacious. Even though it was Memorial Day weekend, it did not feel crowded. Vivian was very nice and even showed us some of the improvements they are making to the site. There's a lot of baby trees planted, so hopefully within a few years there will be more shade. In the meantime, make sure to pack some kind of canopy.
Highlight was the shower!!! One of the best camping showers I've ever used. It is a propane heated system, so the water was hot within seconds! There's a lovely raised bamboo mat to stand on surrounded by large black rocks, so it felt like a spa experience. Usually I hate showering while camping, but this was divine!
I was told that their next big project was the toilets. Currently they have a port-a-potty, but it was very well maintained and didn't stink.
We are definitely looking forward to future stays!

Site 1 Oak Tree
I loved the tree in this site. There was plenty of space in this camp-site with very leveled area to put your camper/tent. The location is very close to the Ojai Bike trail so we were able to bike to Ojai back and forth (5 miles each way). Vivian is a great host, she and her husband are so helpful and so nice to talk to.

Site 2 Riverside
Fantastic spot nestled in the hills. The riverside site was very spacious and offered a nice private hideout away from the denser campsites (though those are pretty well spread out, too). It seems like there will be a lot of renovations/improvements to the overall camping area, and I’m looking forward to seeing how that turns out.

Great location and good directions. But feels like a construction zone. Machines, equipment, piles of refuse were a distraction. Nice animals and friendly hosts.

Very nice, well-maintained sites in the backyard of a fun farm property with lots of animals and greenery.
Sell firewood bundles onsite, and even have a nice outdoor shower!

We had a great stay in our camper van. It is beautifully situated between Ventura and Ojai. It served as a great basecamp for exploring and adventuring locally. Our first day, we drove down to the coast and joined a kayaking expedition out to the Channel Islands National Park. After a full day out on the ocean, the camp shower was lovely. And the drive back from Ventura was easy. The next day we were set up for a full day of exploring the completely charming town of Ojai. Both nights were quiet. Other campers were respectful. Lot was level enough not not need leveling blocks for the van. If you are not an early riser, the roosters may be an annoyance, but for us 50-year-old-morning-people, it was charming. Recommended.

This was the perfect spot to bring two 3-year olds for their very first camping trip. Vivian and Dave were very accommodating and accessible for any questions we had. The ranch animals were a hit with the kids the location was close to town and the playground. The bathrooms and site were well maintained.

Very convenient, 5 minutes from the main strip in Ojai. It was a pretty basic, but they provide everything that you need (bathroom, hot water for a shower, potable water) and they also provided firewood. Perfect bang for your buck camping.

Riverside #2 was a great spot! We didn't realize that the site would have water and power, which was an added bonus. Vivian and her family were very warm and welcoming. It was also conveniently located to explore Ojai and the surrounding areas. Highly recommended!

Overall it was a decent experience camping here. The hot shower was definitely nice. However, I think this campsite is pretty overpriced. The campsites aren’t as private as expected, it was loud all weekend since we’re camping on their working land so it was just lawn mowers for a while on Saturday. It’s also generally not very quiet since we’re right off a main road so you hear cars into the night and loud motorcycles. They could also use some more signs around the area to show the sites and where to go when you arrive. The area it’s located in is gorgeous though, we were very close to all the activities we could’ve wanted.

Great Stay for Ojai Visit

Site 1 Oak Tree
This was a great site to stay for visiting nearby Ojai. There's lots to explore and do close by depending on your interests (e.g., short hikes/outdoor adventures, downtown Ojai with great shopping, food, and great park for kids). The camp site was basic, we were grateful for the water and electricity hookups. The toilet really is just a porta-potty, but the outdoor shower is nice. The area is so nice and quiet - though you will hear the farm's roosters. Check in was easy. Camp spot was nice and flat.

Site 3 Oak Grove Adjacent
Did a group trip with friends here for the night and it was a beautiful getaway for my friends and I during our spring break. We really enjoyed the outdoor shower and privacy we had considering the hosts were on the land nearby. Host have farm animals which were not a bother at all and entertaining to watch when nearby. Campsite comes a table and fire ring (firewood can be bought on site.) Other campers were distance away but this is also because the campsite next to us was not booked. Overall is was a lovely site and Site 3 adjacent is closed to the restroom and shower. The location also has a gaint oaktree with space in the middle (there is was our chill spot with a hammock). Plenty of farm animals but also wildlife that was around, mainly birds and frogs. Check in and out was smooth and accommodating for our needs. Hosts are quick to respond. The only thing which was off was a surprise visit from one of the host after dark (this was due to a delayed zelle payment on our end and he came over to our site during our late dinner).
