3-Day, 2-Night Car Camping Trip at Lake Casitas (Ventura, CA)

Hi Everyone,

I'm excited to lead a small group camping trip to the beautiful Lake Casitas, located about 1.5–2.5 hours north of the Greater LA area in Ventura County and near Ojai, CA.

This event will be limited to a small group to create a more intimate, relaxed, and social camping experience.

What to Expect:

• A fun and laid-back weekend surrounded by nature, with great company and gorgeous views.
• Warm, comfortable weather—late May is the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors before the summer heat rolls in (we will avoid the craziness of the major holidays)
• Campfire chats, shared meals, and plenty of time to unwind or explore.

What to Bring:

• Your own camping gear, cookware, and meals.

While some extra food and drinks will be provided, everyone is encouraged to bring meals that suit your diet and preferences.

Having your own cookware will also allow you to prepare food as you like it.

Group Contribution & Cost:

$35 per person helps cover campsite fees and shared essentials.

To RSVP, please add yourself to the waitlist. I will then send instructions to make the $35 payment.

Everyone will start off on the waitlist—once I receive your payment, you'll be moved to the “Going” list.

Full details, including the exact campsite location, will be shared closer to the event.

Important Notes:

This trip is designed to be a collaborative group experience, so we ask everyone to help out—whether it's cooking, cleaning, or simply being self-sufficient.

The goal is to enjoy a fun, friendly, and respectful camping vibe where everyone contributes and connects.

If you're looking for a chill weekend getaway with a great group of people, this is for you.

Hope to see you under the stars!

P.S. By the way, there are restrooms and hot showers at this campsite. Also, a small general store in case anything is needed and a very nice vineyard nearby that we can visit before heading back. It is only a few miles away from the town of Ojai, CA. There are also boat rentals, moonlight hikes, etc.
