Hobson Beach Park

Imagine waking up to the soothing sound of waves crashing just feet from your campsite—that’s the quintessential experience at Hobson Beach Park Campground in Ventura, California. Set between the Pacific Ocean and the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains, this compact yet inviting campground offers unparalleled oceanfront access, breathtaking views of the Channel Islands, and the conveniences of modern amenities.

This year-round campground features 31 campsites, including 10 full-hookup options, many of which provide uninterrupted views of the ocean. On-site facilities include hot showers, clean restrooms, a camp store, and a snack bar serving up casual bites, perfect for a relaxed day by the water. While train tracks run nearby, adding occasional noise, campers often find the tranquil ambiance of crashing waves more than compensates. Activities like surfing, fishing, kayaking, and wildlife watching—occasionally including sightings of sea lions, dolphins, and even whales—make it a haven for outdoor adventurers.

Located off the Pacific Coast Highway, just a 15-minute drive from downtown Ventura, the campground provides easy access to nearby attractions like Rincon Parkway and Faria Beach Park. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a stopover on a road trip, Hobson Beach Park combines laid-back beachside vibes with the awe-inspiring beauty of California’s coastline.
