This is our second time at this park. It's very green, the restrooms are clean and there's a playground for the kiddos. Sites are roomy, somewhat level and we were able to have a wood fire. Rangers come through on a regular basis. Of note: there is no cell reception or wi-fi at this park. We had 4 older grandkids come visit and, after the initial shock, they found plenty of nearby places to explore.
The pedestals for hook-up are getting worn. We have a 30 amp TT and after several tries our surge protector showed a ground fault on the 30 hook-up. Thankfully we had a 50 to 30 amp dogbone and were able to use that outlet in the pedestal with no issues for the stay. I would recommend having up/down doggone when you travel anyway.
Finally, I would like to thank the camp host Sean (Shawn?). He was friendly and would regularly walk the park (which was full) throughout the day to see if we and the other guests were having any issues.
Very nice place to camp and rv.
No phone signal although.
Bathroom and showers on site.
Definitely would go there again.
Beautiful, quiet little campground, in immaculate shape. the sites are large and we'll spaced apart, with great hookups. Very friendly camp host. You'll find it hard to believe it's only minutes away from civilization!
Relaxing, clean, peaceful. The camping campground is great. Great picnic area. Restrooms and showers are very clean. Dog friendly. Not a lot of kiddos, more for older crowd however we love tent camping here with our kiddos. The camp host is very friendly.
In route to San Diego from the north ... this was a good stopping point. Park was just a bit out of town in Simi Valley. Site was concrete and very level; had full hookups. We had site #11 which was tucked in the corner among eucalyptus trees. It was a very nice & private site. Bathroom was very clean and they had showers. Seemed like there were people there that may not have been 'camping' per se ... more like temporary housing. Lots of people and cars at some of the sites. We had no problems; it was just an observation. It's a fairly small park, I'd recommend either site #11 or one on outside of loop.
