Rose Valley Campground

A bold contrast to bustling, amenity-laden campgrounds, Rose Valley Campground delivers a raw, tranquil escape into the rugged beauty of Los Padres National Forest. Just 20 miles from Ojai, this intimate nine-site loop places you amidst breathtaking chaparral-covered mountains and offers direct access to the awe-inspiring Rose Valley Falls—a stunning 300-foot, two-tier waterfall reachable by a short half-mile trail.

At 3,450 feet elevation, the campground provides a serene base for hikers, nature enthusiasts, and stargazers. Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and grill, but no drinking water—so come prepared. Highlights include the nearby Piedra Blanca Trailhead and Upper Rose Lake, perfect for swimming and fishing. The area’s lack of cell service and minimal amenities reinforce the feeling of seclusion, making it an ideal spot for those seeking peace and immersive natural experiences, just a 30-minute drive from Ojai’s charming downtown.
