    Somewhere in our search (online) we came across this place as we ventured to Ojai to do some camping. We decided to camp here, mainly because there's a waterfall near. We arrived afternoon on a weekday, after calling and learning it was first come - first serve, there were about 4/9 sites occupied but still plenty of options and by night a few other parties had arrived. We spent one night here. Beautiful location! And easy hike to a pretty sweet waterfall!...that has water flowing, even in this drought! There's no running water in the campground - pack it in! (No showers, only one little hole in the ground toilet). All the sites were a good size, plenty of room for tent(s) and each one has a fire pit, table and BBQ! We weren't exactly sure where to pay to stay, even after we called before we made the drive, assumed we could pay at site but no!..you have to have an adventure pass, which you can only get in town! So be sure to pick one of those up before! We had talked with a ranger that was making his rounds and he told us then but we were good for the night and paid the fee after our stay. He also told us we were good to gather wood from around the area which worked out perfect! Plenty of dry wood found on falls trail! The only thing that was a bother - was the flies. For some reason they're bad, now. Saw another group had fly traps but eh we survived. Enjoy!

    The next campsite nearby wasn't too far but not too close either

    Came here on dry New Year's eve 2 years ago. Wasn't Sespe hot springs, but still a nice experience…read moreon the way to them; nice half way point too.

    So a friend emailed me last week saying he was planning an overnight backpacking trip in the Sespe…read moreWilderness to Willett Hot Springs and asked if I wanted to join on the trek. Heck yes! I had a week to research and read up about the area, and I was poking around online I felt there was no detailed directions of the trail to the hot springs, just a few nondescript write ups and summaries here and there. So this review, I hope will help others find the hot spring easier since we got lost for over an hour in rain.... Backpacked 11/2/15-11/3/15 Miles: 20 miles out and back Time took: 30 hours (we overnighted it) elevation gain: less than 400 ft Adventure Pass needed Water: there were 2-3 spots to filter water Directions: on Google maps, type in Piedra Blanca Trailhead. Piedra Blanca Trailhead and Sespe River Trail start at the same parking lot, so it pulls up and you can use the app when you loose cell service. We came from LA, so we ended up taking the 33N to Rose Valley Rd, this area is considered Ventura County Trailhead: Adventure pass is needed to park here. There are pit toilets, when I went they also had toilet paper and weren't too dirty. There's some informational sign around here talking about the local animals you can find, a trail map, and some shaded picnic benches where you can have a nice picnic. The hike: we started at 9:45 AM Monday morning, the first 2-3 miles in the trail was dry with no sight on water. Do not be discouraged, right around 2-3 miles, we didn't spot it right away, but when we hiked further up, we spotted a pool of water off the trail. So if it had been necessary, we would have gone off trail to that water source. But at 3 miles in, I heard running water. We hiked off trail and found the source and actually filtered at this spot. It's a nondescript spot, you just have to keep alert of the sound of running water. Going to this spot was unnecessary though, if you know the trail well, you know that Bear Canyon Campground is right around the corner at 3.5 miles in and there is a spring fed pond here with moving water that is easier to filter at. We talked to a guy here and he said there seems to always be water here and it's a good swimming hole. The trail is decently well beaten and well marked. About 8 miles in you will come upon a big metal trail sign. It's faded and kind of hard to read, but points you in the direction of Ladybug Campground and Hines Peak. Scratched into the sign it says Willett and tell you to stay on the trail you are at. Shortly after that sign, keep a look out for the trail sign on the right. We actually got lost here and walked past it. If you walked past it and come to a camp spot with a fire circle and shovel, you've come too far. We scrambled in the river wash for a while here having lost the trail. Back track and find that small trail sign, it makes you cross the river wash here. Once you cross the river wash, the trail keeps going. look for a fork in the trail and go left. It's a pretty small fork, we put up cairns here the other day, but it is easy to miss. We got lost here too and had to keep backtracking. You cross a swampy area right here. Right when you cross and get to the other side, you will shortly come across the house/shack/a fenced area. Woohoo! You are almost there! Go past that house. With the house behind you, you will see a stone stack/chimney, take the trail above and to the right of it. From there, it's an upward climb, but you're only a few hundred yards away from the Willett Hot Spring tub. You will first come across a small camp spot here. There was a fire ring here the other day. Go past that, and into the foresty area and go up. There you will find the tub, wedged into the crevice of the mountain. Tips: bring a water filter. Depending on time of year, be prepared for rain. Bring sandals if you don't want to go barefoot in the tub, and a towel to dry off. Don't give up. We soaked in the hot spring for a good hour Tuesday morning and had the place all to ourselves. Temp we would guess was around 108 degrees. There are scrubs left there to scrub some of the sliminess. I didn't care, I got right in. Good luck!

Dean is doing an incredible job bringing new life to this park and making it feel like such a welcoming place for families to come back, spend time together, and enjoy the outdoors. You can really feel how much care and energy he is putting into it. We had a fantastic time, and anytime a little issue came up, Dean was immediately there to help us resolve it. He was incredibly kind, responsive, collaborative, and accommodating throughout our stay. Such a special place and a wonderful experience. We would absolutely come back. 10/10!

Additional cars will require additional fee. Environment: We made a reservation for this campground ahead of time using their website. Once we got here, we drove to our numbered campsite and set up camp. The nice thing about this campground is that there is a small playground for the kiddo to play at. They also have a combination of portable toilets as well as flushing toilets (depends how far away your campsite is). They also allow RVs in a certain part of the campground. It's also open to day use for a fee. The campground ranger came by as we were setting up and welcomed us as well as gave us some campground info. What was ordered: - Campsite for one night (includes a parking spot, picnic table, and a bbq / campfire ring. Water tap is available in the campsite) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. The campground was nice and there are nice views of the Ojai Valley if you head up towards one of the day use spots. Credit cards are accepted.

Sadly, this was by far the most disappointing experience we've had. The campground was extremely busy, but that's all the more reason for proper maintenance. The bathrooms were consistently dirty throughout our four-day stay. The Full trash bag (1) sat in the same can for days, the urinals were filthy, the floors were disgusting, and the showers had yellow, mold and spider webs. Based on the condition, it didn't appear they were being cleaned regularly. We also dealt with wasps the entire time. There were at least two active nests on site restroom, making it uncomfortable and concerning for families with children. We frequently saw staff driving around the campground, but on several occasions they simply sat in their vehicles for a while and then drove away without addressing overflowing trash or the condition of the restrooms. Even the rental boats looked poorly maintained, which made them feel unsafe to use. After a decade of making wonderful memories at Lake Casitas, it was heartbreaking to see the campground in such poor condition. We truly hope management invests more attention in cleanliness, maintenance, and guest safety because this campground has so much potential. Unfortunately, this visit left us extremely disappointed.

I wish I could give this park five stars, but the lack of cleanliness especially in the bathrooms makes it hard to overlook. The floors have mold, the trash piles up, and the walls and ceiling are dirty, with a strong odor and no ventilation. It also makes me question how clean the pools really are. For the cost of admission, the park should absolutely maintain the bathrooms to a higher standard. * Entrance to park the car $25. * Entrance Fee for the water park $28. * Kids under two got in for free. * No food or drink allowed (water bottle was allowed)
