Tapo Canyon campground is a small and quiet place to relax while in the area to visit the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. The campsites have paved pads, water, electric, and sewer hookup at each site with plenty of shade trees. Each site has a table and fire ring, nearby restrooms are well maintained and include hot showers for 50 cents / 3 minutes. There are also a few Peacocks that roam through the campground.

County of Ventura park with about 20 sites. Fit our 42 foot 5th. No cell coverage on Verizon or TMobile. One bar ATT. Playground and picnic areas. Would stay again for an affordable place in the metro LA area.

No big deal really, but something to be aware of! Cute little park and archery range. Lots are dirt/sand but plenty of grass over at the park!
The town has everything you could need.

This was our first time here - I just wanted to clean out our tanks for the last time this year, and unfortunately, it was raining the whole time, so we didn't get to do anything. We were looking forward to trying out the Conejo Valley Archery Public Session on Saturday morning, but since it was raining, it wasn't happening. We definitely want to come back again when the weather is better.
Site 5 was nice with a few oak trees in the back of the site - it was long enough for us to leave our pickup attached to our trailer, so the paved site was at least 42' long. It's not double wide though, and note that the sewer inlet is raised higher, so we barely had a downhill angle for the drain. The power and water worked well, and the road noise wasn't bad at all (although we mainly just heard rain the whole time which drowned out other sounds.
The bathrooms were clean and nice - there were 2 showers that took quarters. We didn't use them this time, but they take quarters - 50 cents for 3 minutes with a max of 15 quarters at one time. The toilets and sinks were on the other side of the building and included soap and an air dryer.

Previous reviews have covered most everything just wanted to add that the sites could be considered pretty close together. We were in Site #3 in a Class B. That was perfect for us. Noted Site #11 would be a nice one too. Water, electric, sewer at each site - wonderful! The electric posts have a nightlight on them (never seen that before) which, if you like it dark at night you may want to cover with a towel. Very clean bathrooms. Separate shower needs quarters to use, but so nice. Only drawback is ZERO cell coverage. Multiple people had Starlink (including the camp host) and reported good signal w/that.
Ranger came around to check on reservations. No hiking trails leave from the park directly but many are nearby as is a County Dog Park.
Fun to see peacocks on grounds. Large, private archery club shares the location. That was also neat to see. Overall excellent place to stay if you have Starlink.

Tapo Canyon Campground has just 16 FHU spaces and you’ll want to have a reservation. They do not accept any cash/checks at the campground and direct you to mobile pay for same day bookings, however there is little/no cell service at the park. At least we had no luck with Verizon.
This is a great place to just hang out. We didn’t see much in the way of hiking trails or amenities, although there is a nice playground for the kids and the day use area has a large, covered picnic/bbq area for rent. There’s a big sandy horse corral which we used as an off-leash ball play area for Riley since it was unoccupied during our stay.
Sites are all FHU – 50amp, paved, and have a picnic table and firepit. There are plenty of nice shade trees and large grassy areas for play. Adjacent to the campground is the Conejo Valley Archery Range which is open on weekends.
We occasionally had a text message or email come through, but most of the time we had no Verizon service at all.
