Three day weekend trip

It was an amazing place. I enjoyed listening to and seeing horses, chicken, and many frogs. The creek is very close and about 2-3 feet deep. I'd enjoy visiting again.

Dog owners beware!!

I picked this camp because it said dogs were accepted. I read the reviews that said the property owner had a dog but kept it away from the campsites if there were other dogs. Upon arrival we were given a welcome letter stating their ranch dog is friendly with people but not other dogs and asked that we keep ours on leash or in the car and to not introduce our dog to the hosts dog. I had just finished setting up the tent, when the host left the property and left her ranch dog out loose. It came to our site creeping slowly towards my dog that was on leash. It appeared to be stalking my dog and we were very unsettled at what may happen. I called the host, she came back to secure the dog but didn’t say a word to us. Not feeling safe, we packed up instantly and left to find somewhere else last minute during X Games weekend at Ventura Fairgrounds. The host refunded our money.

Perfect with kids

Wow. What can I say about this place! It is close to Ojai and the ocean but far enough away that you feel remote. The land around you and the rushing creek is a perfect view. But the best part are the animals on the farm. Our kids fed the chickens and horses with Katherine, and she even shared some of her fresh laid eggs with the kids. It was a magical stay and we will definitely be back!

Serene & Welcoming

Catherine is a very down-to-earth individual who's overal character and aura is extremely hospitiable. I went on a whim and sent Catherine a millon questions when I was looking for the most isolated, quiet, and serene spot next to a bed of water; and to my benefit, she was more than understanding. Even more, she was so kind that I felt comfortable sharing a part of my story and bonding with her -- which is not common with someone as eccentric and off the beaten path as I am. Overall a great spot under the care of a very kind person. 10/10 would recoomend if you're a fan of the sound of water at night, an orchestra of frogs, and stars no city guy is accustom to.
