Oak Park

Very quiet . Location has changed from pictures . Some extra amenities cost but details are not specific.

Absolutely worst campground we have ever stayed at would not recommend it to anyone.We were scheduled to stay here for 2 weeks and decided to leave early due to a multitude of issues, the campground is not maintained, overgrown with weeds, dirty restrooms, camp host is non existent, safety- gates not closed when park closes allows for anyone to cruise thru anytime of night scouting out campsites, campers arriving all times of night trying to park and unload making all kinds of noise, homeless people staying in sites making a huge mess of the sites, entrance to the campground is a trash dumping site for people looks horrible, nobody enforces the rules and regulations and nobody following them.I could go on and on but I think you get the point

While the proximity to Moorpark College was convenient for our class reunion visit, our experience at Oak Park Campground left much to be desired. Safety concerns arose with low hanging tree branches and broken glass scattered around our campsite - not ideal for families with children or pets. Our site, #11 in the lower campground, had misplaced 30amp power and water hookups(on the passenger side, when all other sites had it on the driver side). A nearby (20' away) train disrupted our sleep, running at odd hours in the early morning. Our 38.5-foot fifth wheel, standing at 13'7" tall, constantly brushed against tree branches navigating through and out of the park. The most concerning issue was the nearly overflowing dump station, with the host nonchalantly mentioning it's a common occurrence and suggesting we dump at our own risk. Unfortunately, we won't be returning for another stay.If you want to try this campground and stay in the lower sites (upper sites is like a big parking lot where public can literally park next to you for day use) try site 13. Less branches to hit when parking. Upper is farther away from the train tracks, but you'll still hear it at 5am regardless.

Neutral about this place, only because there isn't some sort of water feature near it. Most campsites usually have a lake, or a river or a stream or something that just screams chilling at a campsite. I do like the fact that there are fire rings at each site, which at the time of October 2022 cost around $40 a piece. There is a massive outdoor barbecue area for private parties in the upper campground.You do have to book these campsites through the county website. We did notice there is a camp host on site, who is very helpful.For a quick night out in the woods for a city slicker, this might be your best bet when it comes to Camping close to the city. Think of it as an extended stay, overnight in the woods kind of vibe.I do prefer the lower Campground area, only because it's completely surrounded by trees, and you get the shade. During the week, it's usually pretty empty. Only problem is that during daylight hours, there is an Amtrak train which literally runs about 100 ft away from you, and the noise is definitely something you'd expect from an Amtrak train, or a cargo train passing right through your campsite every couple hours.The upper Campground definitely felt like you were camping on cement, and most of that is because they do not allow tent camping in the upper area. Why exactly they don't allow tent camping is beyond reason. I just don't get it. Maybe someone can chime in?

Love this campground. Local, all the amenities & fairly priced! Definitely love the kids playground and grass area great for short term stays not for many days though.

So there aren't any showers or wifi. Buck up and enjoy the fruits of nature. There are flush toilets, water and electric hookups for around $30 a day. The sites were shaded enough and large enough to feel comfortable in the daytime and not all up your neighbor's business at night. It's also close enough to town so you don't feel like if you forgot something, you're SOL.The camp dude was super friendly and laid back but the county park people were incredible sticklers and patrolled every morning looking for any discrepancies in the rule abiding. Also if you camp here a night and leave to check out another site, you can't return to another Ventura County campground for a week. To keep out that riff raff.Another thing that begs mentioning: there is a very busy train track DIRECTLY situated behind the campsites. When it passes in the night you may be ripped from your peaceful fresh air induced sleep and the first thing that pops into your confused head is: the apocalypse has begun! But if you stay for a few days, you get used to it. There are also black widow spiders who like to hang out by the bathrooms. Be vigilant.So why the 4 star review? Because this place marks the beginning of my stay in California and it holds a special place in my heart.

This place is sketchy, at least it was the weekend we were there. If you have an RV and can choose your spot away from the partiers and lock your door to ensure no uninvited visitors, it might be tolerable, but the tent camping is just not worth it. We were there Thursday through Sunday, and the freight trains on Thursday night were incessant. As has been mentioned, the train tracks literally run right up above the camp and the noise is deafening. They didn't really seem to be running on Friday or Saturday however.The bathrooms were clean and had real (as opposed to those "hole in the ground" deals) toilets and sinks, that was unexpected. I was with friends, if I hadn't been, I probably my would have not stayed. I would not recommend this as a safe place for single females by themselves. An acquaintance who was in an RV with two dogs staying the same weekend as us actually packed up early and left as she didn't feel safe either. Definitely not a place you want to hang out in camp--it's a "just passing through" joint for sure. Campers beware.

Drove around entire campground & sorely disappointed. Much of property was unkempt & overgrown with weeds. Appears to be inhabited by folks unable to live in RVs on local streets due to regulations. Didn't bother walking around as too much broken glass, trash, etc. were everywhere. So sad because this would normally be so much fun for families. Hard No for us.

What a dump ! They charge you $26 to camp but you can't drain your gray or black water? Ridiculous!

Very quite beautiful park stayed to camp for a couple of nights , very peaceful and quite lovely.
