Ojai, CA is beautiful and Wheeler Gorge Campground is situated a nice drive about 2 hours from Los Angeles. I went there for a weekend in July for a friend's 28th birthday, but a weekend was definitely enough for me. The campground is a series of side-by-side campsites you can reserve, so I advise taking a long look at the... More

I really enjoyed staying at this campground. Lots of trees, enough to hang our hammock. No fishing in this area which was a big bummer but if you travel back down the road there is a cool swimming hole off the highway.

Nice campground, however the flys / bugs are very anoying. Everyone got multiple bites. After one week the bites still itch and have not gone away.
