Tapo Canyon Park

Small (16 spaces) and clean with cement pads. Each spot has full RV hook-ups and 20 or 50 amp electrical service. There is a private archery club along with a children's playground and a horse shoe pit. They have showers (pay for hot water, bring quarters) and bathrooms. There is virtually no cell service, it seemed to work sometimes and also no WiFi available.A very chill and quiet campground. A few other minor considerations-- no gathering of fallen wood for campfires and they are anti-drone (they shut down the guy who was flying one next to our spot). Very nice. Close to the main road too!

This place is all online... to cancel it takes a while to get through. They take two days and give you the rest of your reservation but it takes up to two weeks to clear. The host at the campsite is wonderful along with her son who is very polite and helpful. I d recommend this campsite. It's low without views or a laundry room or office....

This was our first camp experience in our motorhome!! Angela & Tony are excellent hosts, so is Chief! The park is clean, quiet & very enjoyable! We took a nice bike ride up to the end of the road & saw peacocks, horses, & chickens. In the park there are hawks, owls, rabbits and NATURE!!!! We would love to return!

First of all, you feel like you're camping in the desert. I know, you are, but damn. The lack of shade is real. They have coin operated showers, a quarter for 3 minutes. Good for water conservation and people with short hair but just bring another quarter with you, just in case you run out of time with conditioner still in your hair...One of the nights I spent here there was a ginormous camper in the next site with a large TV screen outside and a group of people gathered to watch the game. Talk about taking you out of the experience.The cost was about $32 per day with RV hookups and water at your site. It appears to be well maintained and it is a good way to get out of civilization and into some nature. I actually prefer Oak Park to here. Close to town and to the library if you need some beer or some wifi.

The hiking here started off as very gorgeous and a great workout! We ended up getting off the loop trail onto another trail and came across a bunch of oil waste, then had to turn around once the trail ended at gated stairs. Really upset about the oil waste next to a trail and harming the environment... if you stay on the loop this is a gorgeous hike! Personally, I don't plan on ever coming back

Really cute spot we stumbled onto! This was a random stop in search of a clean restroom (which we found). When we stopped in, there was a nice little family reunion in the reserved area. They were probably the only people in the entire park, which makes it an incredibly cool idea for a low budget/major ambiance event.There are campsites with some hook-ups that I think go for about $30 per site. With some planning, a group could reserve the majority, if not all, of the sites. It will probably need a 14 day advance reservation. What I really loved the most was that it had a nice rustic feel, as if you were out in the middle of nowhere, yet you're not really camping out in the wilderness, so it's an easy drive to a local store or coffeehouse to pick up some forgotten supplies.There is a train that passes by at all hours, so be aware, if that's something that bothers you... I choose to think it just adds to the 'charm'.FYI: This is not to be confused with Rancho Tapo Community Park, which is in Simi Valley on Avenida Simi...they have playground with water spray play...but no camping, and much more foot traffic.

I visited Tapo Canyon Park recently and was impressed. First of all, it's amazing that a place which feels this remote is literally right on the outskirts of Simi Valley. Once you're here, it's as if civilization vanishes, even though it's just down the street.Another great thing about this campground are showers and hookups. Those little luxuries are nice for those of us who are used to basic camping with few amenities.While there's not a lot of shade directly over the campsites, there are a few nice mature trees around the park, which BTW features an excellent fully paved loop and perfectly level pads. You can pitch tents here, but it's the ideal spot for RV's, campers and trailers. Adjacent to the campground is a really nice green park, hiking trails, playground and huge open space with facilities for scouting, birthdays, picnics - you name it. Great facility for families and kids.This facility is very quiet at night. The most noise you'll hear is coyote song, crickets and perhaps the laughter of your camping neighbors. And being a short distance from Simi proper, food, drink and supplies are just a short drive away. The camp host is extremely experienced, helpful and friendly as well.I highly recommend Tapo Canyon Park, especially as a great local getaway with your family and RV.

We love this park we stay bcz it close to family An friends but just bring your ant spray this is the first time we have had ants but all good.

Our fifth visit and our last. We are thinking that there is no budget to maintain the park. Overgrown bushes, no host, no sites that are marked that they are occupied, no whiteboard that lists occupants in thepark that use to be the case. The first visit, the host warned us about the ants, this visit host was missing. Woke up in the morning and three of our neighbors were battling ants, in the kitchen and in their showers. This stay was a nightmare. ,

This park is absolutely delightful. I grew up in Simi Valley, however, it has been years since I have lived there, so to find a wonderful RV park tucked away in Tapo Canyon was a fantastic surprise! When you are at the park, it feels as though you are far from civilization, but within a few minutes drive, you are right back into town with all the shops, restaurants, etc, that you may need or want.The park itself has a lot to offer: a nice and clean playground, a lovely pavilion area with BBQ, an archery range (you can even get a lesson on Saturday's for $5 that includes equipment and instructions), a clean bathroom, and nice hiking trails.The RV park, which has 16 paved and level sites with full hookups, is very nice and clean. The sites all have nice metal picnic tables and fire pits (although due to the high fire danger, no fires were allowed while we were there). The best part of the RV park for us though, was the wonderful campground hosts! That really does make quite the difference.When we arrived, we were immediately met by the campground host Angela who was incredibly friendly and helpful. She directed us to our site and could not have given us a more welcoming attitude along with some very useful information (i.e. "we have lots of ants so spray around your tires and jacks", "we have had many coyote sitings so be aware and walk with a flashlight at night", etc.). In addition to our initial meeting, Angela was always available to answer questions or just to say a friendly hello during our week long stay. We saw Angela and her husband working around the park and assisting other campers every day. This park is very clean and well maintained based, clearly, on the hard work of the hosts! We also saw park rangers on a daily basis patrolling and were also very friendly. Thank you Angela for helping to make our stay at Tapo Canyon wonderful!
