Escape for a weekend camp close to Ventura, California. This is an easy access with free spots available equals relaxation.

Close to Ventura and Ojai, California, this spot is an easy weekend getaway from the hectic coast of Ventura. Follow Highway 33 east toward Ojai. This road will lead into the Los Padres National Forest and become very curved and sleep as it gets closer to Rose Valley. The sign for the Park with be on the righthand side. Follow this until you come to the camping area on the right. There are a handful of pull-up spots in the area, which is usually crowded and full in the summer time.

If you want to escape the full sites and want to camp for free, follow the road another mile until to reach a parking lot. Park here, and find the trail at the back left of the parking lot. Hike down to the shoreside site, free of people and completely quiet. You can set up your tent right on the water and have a campfire in the sand to kick back and relax.

For more information, check out the Forest Service website.

Camp at Rose Valley

09/09/16

Oh hi there! Los Padres national park has a lot to offer and this is the heart of the attraction. Make sure to grab a nice shady spot under some trees for a comfortable campsite. They are limited. You ready for a wonderful waterfall? There's one nearby that's kid friendly and quite refreshing. You can even climb IN and UNDER the waterfall in a pitch black cave barely big enough for one adventurous being. Enjoy!

Hike to Matilija Falls

...If you've read most of my blogs, you'll probably notice I have a fascination for waterfalls! I've done this hike multiple times, but it wasn't until this day where I saw these falls truly in action and what they're meant to look like. Getting here, you'll drive 13.4 miles north on highway 33 from highway 101, to the Y junction with Highway 150. Stay left on highway 33 heading toward Maricop...

Climb at Wheeler Gorge

Grab a dozen quick draws, your 60m rope, and head up Highway 33 out of Ojai for 7 miles (One of the routes here describes the crag perfectly, a Riparian Daydream). Drive through one tunnel, and continue on for another mile or two until you reach two tunnels in quick succession. The crag is in between those two tunnels, just below the bridge in the creek. You can park before you reach the two tu...

Hike the Potrero John Trail

The Potrero John Trail is only 1.6 miles, and is mostly used for hiking. It is right off Highway 33- driving north on the 33, the trailhead is on the right side of the street, right after the Potrero John Bridge (parking is fairly limited so the earlier you get there the better).There were creeks and swimming holes along the way. It's an absolutely beautiful hike because the water is nice and f...

Rock Climb at Foothill Crag

From downtown Ojai, head north on N Signal Street. Head up the hill and turn left onto a gravel road next to a chainlink fence once you get to the top.(There should be a sign that points to "Pratt/Foothill Trailhead.") Continue past a water tank on the right to a trailhead parking area. I've gone ahead and put a pin on the parking area/trailhead start up above. Grab your top-rope anchor set up...

Hike to Couch Rock

Driving up Gridley Road away from Ojai you’ll come upon a small parking lot on your left and a gate barring the way to a dirt road. Park here, as close to the mountainside as possible and head onto the trail. Follow the trail until you see pass a bench, and start heading downhill. Keep your eyes peeled, and look on your right. You’ll find a small trail heading up a steep hill. Beware here, for ...

Camp and Boulder at Pine Mountain

Pine Mountain is closed intermittently for the winter season due to snowfall, usually from November through February. Outside of those months, take the Highway 33 north out of Ojai, heading north for about an hour and a half. You’ll see a large turnout as well as a sign reading “Pine Mt Road” on your right side. Take this exit and you’ll find yourself on a windy but enjoyable road for about 20 ...
