Nestled within the scenic valley of Simi, the park is surrounded by rolling hills and natural chaparral typical of the Ventura County landscape. It serves as a green oasis, offering a quiet environment where visitors can enjoy the sounds of nature and local birdlife. The location is strategically positioned, providing easy access to major highways while maintaining a secluded feel. It is an excellent home base for exploring the Santa Susana Mountains and the unique geological features found throughout the surrounding area.

Each site is equipped with water and 30-amp electrical hookups, ensuring a comfortable stay for those needing basic utilities.

Country ranch atmosphere. No showers, so make arrangements, like shower off at the beach. Lots of shade trees.

Hidden little park on a campground...? The playground equipment is sketchy-the slide is metal, and the swings look like they've seen better days. It's very dusty and dry. There are big beautiful trees that provide shade. There is a nice basketball court, though, and the bathroom i went into looks decent and was actually pretty clean. There are random benches throughout the park. And a covered patio area.

We have a rather large 5th wheel. We are always aware of the surroundings as we are traveling. When we got to Oak Park, we noticed that there were a lot of trees, so we were on the lookout. Needless to say, one tree got us! It took out 2 of our ac units! As we were looking at the damage, another camper came out and said the same thing had happened to him earlier that morning! Why aren't those trees trimmed back? Or maybe a warning sign...low branch...look out! When I reported this to the park ranger, he replied that it says in their description that there are many trees! My husband and I were displeased with their handling of this situation. RVs beware of low hanging branches!

Campground was nice and clean. What you would expect from a county park. Sites were a good size and fairly level. The train wasn't an issue for us. You did hear it but it didn't shake the trailer or cause major discomfort. We stayed in the lower campground sites 15 and 16 for one night.

Well maintained Ventura County Park. Large sites on the lower lot, lots of shade trees. Water and power hook ups, no sewer. We stay here frequently because our adult kids live near. We prefer the lower lot. Amtrak, Metrolink and freight trains run 18+ hours a day very nearby, otherwise it’s very quiet and feels safe all the time.
