Camp Comfort County Park

Camp Comfort
Ojai, CA.



Camp Comfort is a Ventura County Park,  http://www.venturaparks.org/  , 1 mile south of Ojai on the corner of Creek Rd. And Hermosa Rd. There is a small creek , (San Antonio creek)that runs through the park filled with crawdads and frogs which fill the nightime silence with ribbits and waterfall whitenoise.

There is a day use area that has a playground, picnic tables, charcoal grills, clean restrooms as well as rentable BBQ areas and a hall suitable for weddings, reunions, etc. There is a day use fee if you aren't camping. The campground has spotless restrooms amd showers, the camp hosts do a great job keeping this park clean. The cost is $40.00 per night. Quiet hours are from 9pm to 7am. There is also a very nice coin laundry room for campers only.


There are 15 full hook-up spots (20/30/50 amp) including cable. There is no dump station but all sites have a sewer hook-up. Tent camping is allowed. Spots 1, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14 & 15 are in the center of the loop with little to no privacy. These sites are good for groups. Site 5 has about 3 feet from your RV door to the side of the RV next to you, but it is a good tent site due to it's close proximity to the creek. Site 13 seems to be for motorhomes or tents only because the hook-ups are on the left side as you face it.
Now on to the Golden Spot , site 11.............this site is in the far back corner of the park facing away from all other campers. Next to the creek and a large open area, this spot is ideal for RV's and tents. There is plenty of overflow parking in the park.
The Ojai bike trail, link,  is 1/2 mile up Hermose Rd. and was built on an old railroad line so it never gets too steep. You can take it to downtown Ojai or if you have the time and energy, all the way to Ventura.

Pros:

  • Clean restrooms
  • Full hook-ups with cable
  • Good AT&T cell coverage
  • In nature close to town
  • Nice creek noise

Cons:

  • Sound travels all to good in here

  1. Great information, thanks! I read elsewhere that there is only a small/narrow road leading up to the campground and that it's hard to get into the sites. Would you say that's accurate?

    1. Creek Rd. Is narrow, but I have seen very large rv's on it. Most spots are very easy to back into, they are angled spur driveways. You can also take the 33 to Hermosillo Rd, the camp is about 1/3 mile down the hill if you don't want to drive ceeek Rd.
