Lake Casitas Campgrounds

I absolutely love staying here at Lake Casitas, especially during the fall months. Any direction you look is such a beautiful peaceful view. I constantly catch myself just staring at the natural beauty that surrounds this place. As for the campground itself I have no complaints. It can get a little rowdy on a busier weekend, a lot of partiers, but they’ve never caused any issues or made me and my daughter feel uncomfortable. The staff and park rangers are all pretty friendly. I’ve stayed in Indian and was not a fan at all, mostly because of the distance it is away from the entrance. I now stay in Bass and honestly love it. The showers/bathroom could use an upgrade and some cleaning, but that’s to be expected in my opinion, plus I have a 40 ft fifth wheel so I don’t use them very often. Can’t wait for the new water park coming in the summer of 2023.

It was a great little getaway. It is incredibly sad the toll the drought has taken on this beautiful place. People were great and everyone was very respectful of environment and "neighbors". Praying for just enough rain to green up this beautiful park.

1st time here was nice probably won't drive 2 hours again to visit this campsite. They have a lazy river that's 15$ person just to pass the gate even if ur not getting in. 2 sessions one in the am and one in the which 3 - 6:30pm. Can't wear denim shorts but another material is fine. They charge 20$ per day per vehicle fee. If your there for a weekend it's 60$ no if ands or buts. This location is very clean and loved the recycling bins ! You can fish here kids 16 & under don't need a license.

The water park was great. The structure is not there at the moment as being fixed. The lazy river was so good. Lots of chlorine. Take goggles if you can. Leave a cooler in the car for snacks. They allow in and out. Great fun for all the family.

Camp sites are clean, showers and restrooms needed to be cleaned!! Came to fish, camped the night before and the morning of while driving down to launch ramp the gates were closed. Called front desk and they said gates were closed for the day for a marathon. Would've been nice to know when they inspected the boat the night before! Other than that the park is a nice place for families to come and enjoy!

Great camping spot! The lake leaves much to be desired since all the water went away. Also try your best to come in during the day. At night it can be difficult to get to your spot as lighting is limited. Other than that great spot for the family!

This is definitely one of the must visit camping areas in the county, conveniently located with easy access, water park , well stocked park store, firewood, boat rental, fishing license available to purchase, fishing gear, canoeing, kayaking, disc golf, little snack place and a lot of land to explore, hike or ride your bike, good opportunity to connect with nature at a safe location with park ranger on duty to take care of those wild people who think camping means partying lol . Simply a great place to enjoy with your family.

We had an AMAZING time, on our Group Glamping Trip! The landscape was lush and serene. The air was perfect! Our campsite was equipped with water and electrical hookups, a picnic table, a fire pit, a tree, enough space for our SUV, a 28ft trailer and more! We will definitely be heading back. Making the reservation was easy, and checking in was a breeze. You MUST visit. You can clearly see all of the stars, and the big, beautiful moon, at night. Oh, and check out our fire! So cool! Our neighboring campers had dogs, and we saw several animals hawks, squirrels, birds, skunks that reminded us we were truly enjoying a nature-filled weekend. We had a trailer, so we had a restroom with a shower, along with a kitchen. Our friends were totally there for the tenting experience, and though their restroom tent could accommodate a shower attachment, they went to the showers at the campground. It was a good time for us all. We grouped some picnic tables together, and that was our main dining space. We also played a few games, like Cards Against Humanity, Jenga, and Cornhole. My bestie made and brought cocoa bombs for everyone, along with cinnamon rolls to warm by the fire pit. I cannot wait to go back! I will have another trailer delivered to my campsite, and setup by Camping Adventures! My little place was clean, and absolutely perfect! Dog-friendliness: Most campers had their fur babies in tow. The site campgrounds are dog-friendly. Picnic area: Each site, at our campground, has a picnic table, a tree, and a firepit.

As a young kid growing up in the 60s, I used to camp at Lake Casitas and Lake Cachuma. My uncle had a 16 foot 1961 Aljo cabover travel trailer. The cabovers were very rare, it could easily sleep 8 adults, but it was not self- contained, it was very nice and comfortable. He towed it with a 1964 Chrysler 300 2 door hardtop. It was light blue over light blue vinyl interior. A very cool Chrysler. It had the stock 383, engine, no air conditioning or power anymore, but man was it fast and powerful, it handled that 16 foot trailer like it wasn't even there. It could flatten steep grades with ease, and it never would overheat. We lived in the San Fernando Valley. We would spend a weekend every month, alternate between Casitas and Cachuma. It was maybe 100 to 150 miles one way up U.S 101 which was perfect for a 2 day weekend. I learned so much about camping and trailer towing. Soon I would handle the entire hitch-up and campsite set up. Leveling the trailer, putting out the lawn chairs and other campsite stuff. It was all I could or wanted to think about. We would rent small aluminum boats and go fishing or just cruise around the lakes. I really loved every minute of it, but hated having to come home on Sunday afternoons. Both those lakes seemed huge to me at the time. I'm greatful for those two lakes and my uncle for making it all possible. Those trips taught me about life and what I loved about life. When I grew up, I would go camping with my friends. We would rent C class motor homes until I could afford to buy one for myself. It was a 33 foot Southwind class a motorhome that I had special ordered. I loved that motorhome so much. When we weren't traveling, I would spend time and money messing with it. My dad used to say it was a huge hole in the road that I would throw money into. He was right of course but it was my hole and wouldn't have had it any other way.

I honestly don't know why my wife's family likes it here... there's more dirt than I've ever seen,..very limited shaded area..restrooms and showers are unclean......the grassy areas are for picnic only. Can't understand why the campgrounds can't have grass. The water park is a joke and the water is filthy... the only good thing is staff is friendly and they come and pick up ur trash every morning...
