Comment

Indian Campground Lake Casitas  The Campground is open all year with approximately 30 RV camp spots.  It's better suited for RV's because there are large level spots with easy access.  Electric and water is available at each camp spot.  This campground does not have a restroom making it better suited to fully contained RV's.  Showers are available approximately a mile away at the recreation areas entrance.  The campground has a lake view but, no lake access because of the low water level during the California drought.  A camp store is available approximately one mile away.  The store has propane, ice, firewood, drinks, and all the essentials.  A small cafe and bait shop is available near the Santa Ana launch facility.  Campground roads are all paved, parking pads are crushed rock.  Drinking water is available.  The recreation area has two dump stations for RV's.  

Local Recrestion:

Lake Casitas boating and fishing.  Lake levels are down but, there is still plenty of room for boating.  The lake is known for its great bass fishing.  

Lake Casitas Water Adventure.  There is actually a small water park located inside the recreation area.  It's only open during the summer months but looks like it would be great fun.  There is a Lazy River for floating on your inner tube.  Shade trees are located inside the Water Adventure. 

Lake Casitas Model Airport.  There is a small model aircraft airport located inside the recreation area.  It's primarily for remote control aircraft. 

Downtown Ojai is just 5 miles from the campgrounds entrance.  The downtown area has restaurants, shops, and hotels.  Golf is also available at Soule Park Golf Course.  There is also a bike path(The Ojai Valley Trail) that starts near the downtown area and goes all the way to the beach.
