Camp Comfort Park Campground

Spontaneously we elected to drive thru Ojai on our way from the coast to the desert. Even more spontaneously was our decision to turn off the main road and see what this campground looked like. Nestled in a grove of sycamore trees along a little creek it had a quiet appeal. After returning to the highway and thinking about it, we quickly researched some of the other nearby county parks, having decided we had driven far enough for today. We turned around and returned. We found a nice level spot and pulled in. We use our van bathroom and shower so can’t comment except to say they were clean. Nice touch with the coin operated laundry.

We had considered riding out bikes up the 1.5 mile hill to downtown to explore but were content to just sit out in the warm sunlight and watch the family of Acorn woodpeckers in the adjacent Sycamore tree. Lots of birdies around the area gave us endless entertainment along with the neighbors driving their remote controlled toy truck.

A real bonus is the free Wi-Fi which works well. While not fiber optic, we clocked good speeds and could watch YouTube and Netflix easily. The cellular signal was decent too.

I booked a stay here because I want to explore Ojai. It's close to the town but looking at a map it looks closer than it is. Definitely need to drive to town. This is basically an RV parking lot.

I booked my spot several weeks before arriving and only had a confirmation number. I couldn't find my confirmation email and the host was completely unable to help me. She couldn't even tell me what website I reserved on (it's venturaparks.org). I went to a different campground and that's how I found my original reservation.

The park is quiet - all hookups so no generators - and the facilities are clean, but there is no charm or even feel of wilderness at all.

We have a 45ft coach, it fit in site 2 perfect. Additional parking close for tow vehicle. Full Hookups. Picnic Table + BBQ/Grill. Small Park maybe 15 spots. Lots of trees, camp host was nice. Entrance is sketchy for our long coach, right curve. Wheels up on the curb, even with extremely experienced driver ;). Ojai is close/ like 5 minutes for shopping + exploring. Would definitely camp here again!

To be honest, this isn't quite our style of camping. The sites are right next to each other. We prefer to be further apart and have more space between us and the next RV. We went here to spend some time with some friends, so they chose the campground. There is a creek that runs along the backside of the campground, so the sites on the outer side of the loop are better. The day use area is lovely!

This is a great park if visiting Ojai. Shaded with big trees, clean, flat RV sites, and very close to downtown, but you wouldn't think you were that close to town because it's in a quiet setting on a two lane road and alongside a seasonal creek. We stayed on a Friday and road noise was fine.

All back-in sites have 30/20 Amp electrical, water and sewer hookups. Some of the sites are set up with power/utilities on the passenger side of vehicle (think right in front of your trailer awning and door). Those are better suited for nose-in RVs. So if making reservations, check ahead.

Another note if you are traveling without reservations. The reservation board and system of marking reserved sites is a little confusing, and when we stayed, sites were not marked with upcoming reserved days. It turned out the entire campground was reserved on a Saturday night because of a wedding being held at the rentable clubhouse next to the campground. So we had to move. The camp host was on site and in their trailer but never warned us. As a result, the park ranger came by Saturday morning and politely let us know the situation. We moved to Lake Casitas (a win!).

There are just a dozen or so full hookup spots in this older county park. Free and lightning fast wifi and a little laundromat and the host was one of the friendliest we've ever met. The park entrance is lined by very old trees, and this park would not be a good choice for big rigs.

Pros:
- Free, super fast wifi
- Laundry
- Location - you're 2 miles from cute and scenic downtown Ojai, as well as miles of hiking and biking trails (though none are accessible right from the park). There's a bike trail that goes all the way to Ventura (about 15 miles away), and a really beautiful and well marked trail system that starts at the end of Shelf Rd.

Cons:
- Dogs are allowed in the campground, which is very small, but not in the neighboring park area. (There are plenty of hikes very nearby though)
- Most sites are pretty short, and ours had a major front to back slope - we had to use 6 blocks in the front to level it.
- Most sites don't have much of a view, and there's a fairly busy road close to the park.
