Great little clamping spot. Very peaceful. The trailers are fully stocked and come with directions all over. Super clean. Nice bathrooms as well. Check in was a breeze. read more

I genuinely don't understand why this place gets so many glowing reviews. Our stay was extremely uncomfortable from start to finish. The photos on their website are also very misleading, the space is much much smaller than it appears. The shower, in particular, is incredibly cramped (roughly 3 by 2 feet), making it difficult to use comfortably. The air conditioning unit was so loud that we barely slept at night. I even attempted to host a Zoom meeting from inside, but had to cancel because the noise made it impossible to hear anything. When we raised these issues with the office, their suggestion was to open the windows, which only added insult to injury because of how uncomfortably hot it was inside. To make matters worse , when they eventually offered a partial refund, it came less than an hour before the time they required us to vacate, and we weren't even on-site at the time. After we informed them that we had checked out early, they offered an even smaller refund, which we have still not received a month later. Overall, a very disappointing experience. Do yourself a favor and find more comfortable accommodations. read more

We asked for a one night stay instead of the two night minimum, they ended up charging us for the 2 nights anyway, and when we canceled a week before, they took half $$ of the full two days rate. For a tiny airstream $500 for one night. The one day was advertised at little over $200 on their website. So yes they will let you stay one night but at the cost for two nights. How stupid is that? Their cancellation policy is nowhere to be found on their website or when booking. What a joke. Other hotels in town cost the same amount but at least there is a room that has more than 50 square feet of space to stay in, and a shower larger than the 3 foot x 3 foot shower they offer in these airstreams located in the industrial buildings area of Ojai. Oh and your view: Public Storage across the street. Dog poop in the rocks outside the airstream. Will never stay there. read more

I really enjoyed our stay at Caravan Outpost! It's a cute, unique accomodation for anyone trying to get away. We originally booked an airstream but ended up getting to stay in the tiny house which actually worked better for us since our little one was with us. Despite the name, the tiny house was actually spacious and cozy! We had our own bathroom including a shower. The kitchen included a fridge, stove, sink, water boiler with complimentary coffee, tea and hot cocoa. I'd suggest bringing your own food but there are local restaurants that are walking distance. Check-in and all that is via email and text. I think the only time I saw an employee was the morning of our checkout when they were cleaning the communal bathroom. The space itself was also super quiet, it felt like we had the whole outpost to ourselves! They also have bikes, wagons and a communal outdoor area. read more

The vibes are just incredible here. I wish we could have stayed longer. The campers are very clean as well. Expect a camper-sized stay, not a spacious resort vibe. The bathroom is TINY, as expected for a camper. The bedroom is a very tight squeeze, as expected for a camper. But again, fantastic vibes. My only complaint is that it's extremely pricey. I'm not sure if I can make this my go-to spot. $350+/night is A LOT for a camper. If it wasn't for the price, this would be a BIG 5 star from me. read more

I recently stayed at the Outpost and I couldn't be more impressed with the overall experience. From the moment we arrived, Leilani was incredibly welcoming and helpful, making it a smooth and positive stay. The landscaping throughout the site is absolutely stunning--lush greenery, well-maintained paths, and thoughtfully placed plants and flowers that create a peaceful and scenic environment. You can tell a lot of care and attention goes into maintaining the grounds, and it really adds to the overall charm of the place. The airstream was so cozy, clean, and well-equipped. We had access to clean restrooms, and hot showers. The communal areas were really nice and picnic tables, were well-kept. There were plenty of activities available, but it was also the perfect place to just unwind and enjoy. Walking distance to good food, live music and great boutique shops. We'll definitely be back! Thank you! read more

Stylish, clean, and peaceful - if you're looking for a place that offers all of this, this spot might be just what you need. I'd even say it's one of the coolest places to stay in Ojai. My partner and I stayed here for two nights, and I felt completely recharged. Even though the airstreams are fairly close to each other, the neighbors were respectful and quiet no disturbances at all. There are two bathrooms: one inside the camper and another outside. There's also a shared common area for guests to hang out and connect. One of the best parts? Free bikes to ride around and explore the town! If I ever visit Ojai again, I'll definitely be staying here again. read more

Have known about this spot for years from social media and rave reviews from friends. Everything great I heard was spot on! This is such a fun, clean, and chill place to stay while in Ojai. My partner, myself, and our pup Twinkle spent two nights here and LOVED it! The facilities are SO clean and modern, and very welcoming. Comfy chairs, hammocks, desert/ low water garden...beautiful! Incense burning in the communal area all day.... totally my vibe! At night, it was so peaceful, and the beds in the Airsteams are so comfy. Also, everything is in walking distance as this is right off the Main Street at the end of the Arcade. Leilani is such an awesome person, we felt we were very well cared for with anything we asked for. Can't say enough good things, except that we are most definitely coming back! read more

We recently spent two nights in Ojai at Caravan Outpost, and absolutely loved every minute. The communications coming from them was fantastic. We were texted when our trailer was ready with instructions on which trailer was ours, how to get in to the trailer and phone numbers to contact if we needed anything at all. We arrived, parked on the street, and quickly found our beautiful airstream trailer tucked in some trees with a table and two chairs with an umbrella out front. We settled in and walked the grounds. Everything was spotlessly clean, there are games, cornhole and chairs out in the middle of the common area. There are bicycles with helmets available to guests and the bathrooms and shower rooms for guests too were spotlessly clean. Mr. B used the shower rooms as our shower in the trailer was to short for him. He said they were so clean and had everything he needed. Being short, I was able to use the shower in our trailer. Now to the trailer, so fun! It was clean, everything was well taken care of. On the dining table was a retro record player with some vinyl to enjoy. The bathroom had everything we needed and the bedroom was cozy and the bed so comfortable. The air conditioner worked well and we were more than comfortable in the trailer. Leilani, the camp host isn't on site all the time, we saw her both mornings and she was so friendly as was all the staff when on site. Leilani offered recommendations of things to do and places to eat. We had a ball, and loved every minute of our resort camping experience. Parking is on the street and never had a problem getting parking. We would absolutely stay again when in the area. Located on a side street in Ojai and easy to walk into town. We walked the bike path one evening to get dinner, and walked back through town, even stopping a few doors down at a Brewery and Winery to have an after dinner drink before turning in for the night. read more

Even though my stay was not that great, I still gave this 4 stars because the grounds were so well maintained and the check in was easy. But here are some negatives: The lighting in our Airstream was very blue (ie daylight, 5500k) and not warm and inviting. So hanging out in the airstream at night with the lights on felt like a prison cell with the cold Florescent lighting and aluminum walls. It doesn't have the fizzy camper feeling we were hoping for. I know they are LED lights but they feel like Florescent lighting in a hospital. So we ended up turning off most of the lights in our airstream due to the harshness. Mostly because of that we will not return. Also our shower door did not close and water went everywhere in the bathroom. And we could not get our heater to turn on. Probably a user error but neither me or my wife could get it to work. Speaking of cold and sterile feeling, booking your stay there is also sterile. You never speak to anyone over the phone or in person. Everything is handled via email or text. Some people may actually like that but I prefer talking to a human and knowing a human is on staff somewhere on the grounds. It was quiet and not very many people when we stayed there in early November, but I bet it gets a bit loud in the summer time. So if you are use to a quiet hotel, this might not be the best place to stay when it's packed. Anyways, the place is well maintained and manicured but will not stay again. read more

Caravan Outpost - Horrible lighting and for sure not warm and cozy. - Hotels Near Me - Ojai, California

What a neat experience! From booking, to the communication before arrival, and the attentiveness during the stay......thank you! I've always seen those silver bullet trailers zoom by on the freeway. So nice to have an opportunity to spend some time in one. Everything was very clean and well maintained. The additional bathrooms and bigger showers are nice and spotless. The free bikes are also great feature although just about everything is in walking distance. Leilani, thanks for caring the way you do and your smile! read more

My wife and I stayed one night on our way to Paso Robles. It is a unique property designed with a lot of care and love, all of which helped make our stay special, especially nice given it was my wife's birthday! It was an easy walk into town to restaurants, bars and shops. We stayed up late sipping wine and playing vinyl from our childhood on the portable Victrola provided. Everything was clean and comfortable. After checkout, I left my iPad by the bed unbeknownst to me. Leilani texted us that day and offered to hold it or ship it. She shipped it and it was awaiting for us when we got home. What fantastic service she provided and it only makes us want to return again. It truly was a magical experience! read more

Everything was perfect. Trailers clean and nicely ready for us. The staff was fantastic and helpful for any needs we may have had. Thank you for a great experience!! read more

Such a cute, unique little spot! Spent an impromptu weekend with 2 of my besties. Our airstream, Diego, was the perfect size for the 3 of us. The record player was such a fun detail. The grounds are well-maintained, clean and everything is meticulous. Shawn was so sweet and kind when booking and especially helpful and excited for us throughout our stay. They even handwrote a bday card for one the besties parking was easy, getting to all the best ojai spots was easy and even the brewery next door was a great easy spot to check out. Can't wait to come back for next time! Thanks for having us, Caravan Outpost! read more

Such a cute place to stay! Airstream was clean and cozy and we loved using the outdoor spaces to relax and play backgammon while we drank wine and watched the sunset. It was our anniversary and the cute flowers and card they left in our airstream was a nice touch! Free bikes to use was great. Close to the Main Street with restaurants, coffee and shops. Only thing I'd recommend is having a couple glasses, plates and utensils in the airstream to use during our stay. read more

Such a cute weekend getaway setup. Away from the big city and just nature and cute local shops. Lots to do and explore here. The staff is very friendly and the airstream is so clean and full of nice vibes. It's romantic and peaceful and cozy, just love it! Our only thing is that the AC can be too loud at night, it's quiet for a bit but then it booms and wakes us up a little. Anyhoo, we just turned it off eventually. It's not hot inside (at least at night) so it's ok. read more

We got a recommendation from a friend because we were going to see Bruce Hornsby at the Libbey Bowl. From beginning to end we could not have been more happy! This is the biggest hidden gem in Ojai. We were 10 minutes walking from the Libbey Bowl, restaurants, bars, and stores all around. The Airstreams are awesome. If you have vinyl, bring some. Every unit had a Victrola knock off. The units are clean and equipped as advertised. I can't wait to visit again when the next show sparks my interest. read more

I had no idea what to expect, but this was exceptional. They literally thought of everything to make it a nice glamping experience. I had some of the best sleep in an Airstream for goodness sake! The only thing I think they could do to improve upon this place is have a fire pit. I would have easily bought a bottle of wine and sat outside by the fire pit drinking a bottle of wine. But no fire pit lead me to find the Ojai Valley Brewery which was super fun! read more

From the moment I saw it online I knew it would be an amazing experience. And then we arrived, I was overwhelmed with excitement. The grounds were gorgeous, like your own private tropical getaway, and so peaceful. Great vibe. I took three 13 year old girls with me and they loved the caravan, the bean bag games, and even just playing with their volleyball in their center courtyard. And the service outstanding. Leilani during the day helped me so much! From learning how to pen the windows, getting additional towels, cups etc, to even helping me get a carpenter bee out of the caravan! And the owner was super responsive over text. And so kind. I ask a lot of questions! :) I'd totally stay here again and next time bring friends! (Oh wait, I did, they stayed in the tiny house! Which was super cute). And bring more friends. Thank you Caravan Outpost! Note: they also gave great restaurant recommendations! We went to Zaidees, The Dutchess, La Fuente, and Exotic Thai. Everything delicious! read more

So much more than just staying in a hotel, it's a experience of a lifetime. We stayed in an airstream trailer. It's set up like a campground with a large seating area in the center, surrounded by gardens. The guests gather in the community seating area (around the fire pit) which lens even more to the community feel of this place. It was clean, comfortable, the staff was fantastic, very friendly, and knowledgeable. Already planning a return trip. read more

The Pure essence of "Ojai"! This is the coolest and most economical place to stay in Ojai. Perfect for one or two people who just want to get away from the normal, cookie-cutter crap in order to simply enjoy everything the Ojai Valley has to offer. And then at the end of the day soak in the ambiance with a few glasses of wine before walking next door to the Ojai Valley Brewery. Bikes are available on-site, but pretty much everything is within walking distance, to include the Ojai Valley Athletic/Tennis Club, which offers daily guest passes. read more

Impeccable. We absolutely loved this unique and peaceful retreat style Airstream lodge. Every detail was unique and perfect. To begin on that note, the record player with classic records was so fun and cute. The hot water heating tea kettle was awesome, the luggage cart is absolutely perfect, the free bike rentals are genius (no child seats yet, but I was told they were trying to find one, my guess is for reasonable safety reasons), the outdoor bathroom and shower is a good addition (the airstream has a shower and toilet, but it is a movable trailer so the plumbing obviously is different than a fixed structure). Ojai has a curfew and I love that fact, the early quiet nights are appreciated when visiting from Los Angeles. Great location, walking distance to shops and restaurants but not next to the Main Street. The other guests are respectful and the employees are awesome and really care about your satisfaction. They make check in easy and are helpful. Important details. Impeccably clean. You will not be disappointed. I am very adamant about clean overnight stays and I will notice everything. Not a stain anywhere. Gorgeous. The Airstream is beautiful. It's is roomy and in good condition. It's an airstream so be aware of the windows. Not an issue for me, but this isn't a hotel, so simply be mindful of the technical details. The shower in the airstream is limited and water inside in general. Not an issue if you are already conservative in this regard. Has full cooking capability but doesn't have pots pans etc. This wasn't an issue for me. There is a refrigerator. I can't remember if there is a microwave. The windows are wonderful for natural light and tinted for the day, and curtains for privacy in the evening. Has solid AC and heat. Bed is very comfortable. Pillows are good. Blankets and sheets are good. Fall asleep easy. The kitchen sitting area is roomy. The outside personal sitting area is also spacious and roomy. Enough privacy you don't feel crowded amongst the other guests. There are only 10 airstream and doesn't feel crowded. There is also a shared outdoor sitting area. We could hear an acoustic band early evening and stopped by the curfew of 9/10pm. The band was playing Back Street Boys acoustic "I want it that way"...amongst other songs. It was distant but could hear it when outside very faintly and it was very good ambience. Parking isn't difficult but it's street parking on a quiet street and not an issue. We loved it here and will return. Very unique and fun adventure. My son LOVED it. We felt very welcomed and at ease here. Sorry I didn't have more photos, these were just personal photos I shared with family and friends, I didn't take them for reviewing purposes. read more

Caravan Outpost - Night time at the Outpost - Hotels Near Me - Ojai, California

Our recent two-night stay at the Caravan Outpost served as a relaxing endpoint to a very busy vacation. We chose to stay in Julian (the tiny house) as opposed to an Airstream, simply because we weren't sure how cramped the layout would feel. No less than fifteen minutes into our first evening at the outpost, my boyfriend immediately began remarking about how curious he was to stay in an Airstream and how cute they looked. I guess we'll have to come back and try one for "research purposes" at some point. Julian contains a living room, kitchen with microwave, small cooktop, dishwasher, and fridge as well as a bathroom, bedroom, and loft with two beds. I found the space to be perfect for two adults who want to spread out a bit and can imagine it would accommodate a family with a couple kids quite nicely. The super efficient a/c and heater kept the space comfortable despite temps that soared to 90 during the day and dipped into the 50's at night. Outdoors there is a bistro set with lights situated in the back and two lounge chairs closer to the action at the main circle of the caravan. (They get some amazing sunlight throughout the day just fyi.) Service is chill and friendly, and the host texted me in advance to say she'd put ice in our freezer and left us a cute complimentary tote bag with eco-friendly disposable place settings and dishes. We didn't have a bit of trouble getting anything extra we needed during our stay. I grew up in Ojai, so getting to experience my hometown as a guest in such a novel and enchanting environment was super meaningful for me. I'm already looking forward to future visits and plan to stay at the Caravan Outpost each time I'm in town. Thank you! read more

What a magical spot for a special girls' weekend and birthday celebration! The airstreams are clean and comfortable while also being tastefully decorated and thoughtfully appointed.

We had a great stay here. They serve coffee every morning starting at 8:15am. They have bicycles available also! There is a walking/biking trail right behind here that we used every day. Bed was comfortable and everything was clean. There is a stove and convection oven. They also had an electric kettle. We had to bring our own kitchen supplies and forgot to bring dish soap/ sponge. It would have been nice if they had some of these kind of supplies just in case. They also give you disposable utensils and plates, but we stayed for 4 nights and only got 2 of each. Shower is a little tight just as an fyi. I would stay here again. read more

Travel is one of my passions and traveling with my kids, especially now that they are teenagers, is something I don't get to do enough. We have been fortunate to stay at incredible hotels (and some not so incredible) So when we were planning our weekend get away from my doctor's birthday and I offered to take her and her friends to a 5 star Resort in Ojai and she chose a return trip to Caravan Outpost I am was thrilled to know that coming here last time had made such an impression, and a bit concerned that the passage of a few years plus Covid would result in it not living up to her memories of it. From the moment I booked the trip to our departure I was thrilled that my concerns were unfounded! Honestly the people who work here are beyond friendly ans helpful. The caravans are clean and the upkeep is excellent. The kids loved the record player (we have one at home but rarely used- however the collection of albums was awesome!) This is a great family getaway and walking into town takes about seven minutes so while you feel like you are completely removed it's convenient to shops and restaurants (I wouldn't recommend trying to cook in the kitchen since there isn't cookware and the space is small!) Please note that the fire pit is not open but the neighboring property invites guests to come and use their fire pits, bring picnics etc with no obligation to buy anything! read more

Caravan Outpost - Hotels Near Me - Ojai, California

Caravan Outpost was listed as one of the stops on this year's Ojai Valley Chamber of Commerce Spring Garden Tour for its stunning tropical setting. The description was cryptically clever, so that I didn't realize it was a lodging option until we arrived. When we pulled up, there was one of their Tommy Bahama-styled Airstreams out on the street, open for touring. The Outpost was gracious enough to welcome tour participants to visit their grounds. The garden designer was on hand to answer questions, as well. The lush plantings, ripe with palms and other exotic flora, brought to mind an island getaway. There is an Adventureland feeling, like being able to camp out there in the original Disneyland jungle. It that were possible, it might just have this vibe. It's such a whimsical, magical combination of laid-back campground, but also "glamping" in the elegantly turned out Airstream trailers. I'm sure that hanging out at the campfire each evening is a throwback experience to sleep-away camp when we were kids. There's also a camp store; a place with logo gear for sale, and provisions for the outdoorsy lifestyle. Large sofas sit in the heart of the space, with a stereo playing. While we were there, it was mostly Neil Young serenading the guests. Brought me right back to my younger years; simpler times. Can't wait to stay here! read more
