    Wendy & Bella enjoying the view

    The park is right on the beach with beautiful views of the islands. The hosts are super nice and they keep the place sparkling.

    My favorite place to be. I've been going every year during this time for the last 5 years & we start talking about how excited we are for next year the second we leave. The most relaxing place I go to. Always enjoy just sitting at the beach or spending time with family & friends. Encourage everyone to come & spend a week here!

    Wow! This place is just amazing! How can you say anything bad about getting to park right next to the beach?! Beautiful views! Wonderful sea smells! Wonderful sound of waves crashing as you sleep at night! Just awesome!! The place is always booked because it's so nice. So book early. Some of the places are a little tight to get in to, but we made it work. They have a snack bar that is open every day, I believe. Bathrooms are clean. Some of the spots have hookups, some don't. Some have fire pits, some don't. If you get a spot without a fire pit, bring a propane fire with you. Will definitely be back!

    Taking it all in.

    Can't beat this location! Whether stopping off to enjoy a coffee on your daily drive or booking a camp stay for the weekend, this place is beautiful and peaceful.

    It's always so hard to get in here, so we are usually down the road at Hobson, and now I know why! Faria is SO well taken care of! Christy & Jeff truly care about this park & do everything they can to ensure it's clean & ready for everyone! They are up early cleaning up sites people leave less than when they arrived, & they are up late ensuring guests are able to enjoy their trip without it being a big party park, which I wholly appreciate! Jeff even hung out a couple of days with my hubby playing cornhole! We were able to grab site 19, which is one of the sites with full hook-ups & like most of the sites, right on the ocean! The new cafe owners (Peirano's Beachfront Cafe) have done a great job creating a little oasis inside the park, it was great to be able to grab lunch there as we were setting up & breakfast as we were cleaning up to go home! Love that they serve adult beverages now, just wish the menu was a LITTLE more diverse. The service was AMAZING, my son dropped his plate & they kindly remade his entire order! The food was tasty & the fries were some of the best I have ever had! We had an amazing 6 days & I have to say although we have had some great trips at Hobson, this park is hands down top notch! Here's hoping we have an opportunity to grab reservations soon!!

    The weather, the view and the tranquility it is close to the city markets and restaurants but it feels a world away from hustle and bustle of city life

    I love the option to TENT CAMP BESIDE THE OCEAN BUT ....Very close quarters. If your neighbor cranks up their engine , to run their electric , you will be sucking their exhaust fumes . A lovely sunrise session in your camp inevitably ruined because the neighbors must microwave their breakfast. It's honestly worth paying extra for an electric spot to avoid the generator junkies. But then you get the wood smoke because the electric spots are also the fire ring spots

    A hidden gem campground located right by the ocean that's not restricted to only RV's and is accessible for vehicles and tents. This camping experience was the closest I've been to the ocean. The low tide during the afternoon allowed us to access the beach area nearby. The campground had restrooms, shower rooms, a sink for dishwashing, and a café (which I did not see open during my stay). Online reservation is available through their County website. Our Lot space (27) was big enough to fit two vehicles. The site came with a table connected to bleachers. However, this space did not have a firepit, and when I asked if we could bring our own, they said it must be connected to propane. Overall, the campground is beautiful and well-maintained. The cleaning crew came in the morning and cleaned the bathroom. We slept in the car for the first time. We wanted to test a feature called Camping Mode and were cozy inside the vehicle. The stars came out in the evening, and there were many but not infinite. During the evening, the water level started to rise, and we heard the waves crashing closer to our site. Luckily, boulders surrounded the ocean's edge and prevented the water from coming in. We had a definite blast and planned to return.

    Faria Beach was amazing! I got there early evening to watch the sunset Spent the on site for two days. The showers were clean, restaurant was quaint and the night monitor was very polite. Highly recommend you book early.

    This has been our favorite campground. Well maintained. friendly people, beautiful beach, staff there daily keeping everything clean and tidy. We will definitely come back.

    Sunset in front of our campsite!

    Our favorite place to camp! We come at least 3-4 times a year! They have clean showers and bathrooms! Best part is the ocean view and private beach!

    Beautiful sunset beginning of December

    Our favorite camping spot, we camp up and down the coast all year, but Faria has our hearts. Beach access is great. Camp ground is kept very clean, thanks to the camp hosts Jeff and Chrissy who go above and beyond to keep it looking great. Bathrooms and showers are clean too. Cafe on site in case you don't want to cook.

    Ask the Community - Faria Beach Park

    Is Laura's snack bar open?

    Laura has retired, the new camp hosts are Christy and Jeff. They are now separate from the snack shack. It is now called FARIA BEACH CAFE run by a local Ventura business. There will be smoked meats, a full menu (see online), as well as items you may… Read more

    Is there fishing here?

    People fish all the time. I see people catching fish. So yes as long as you have a fishing license.

    Is the showers open to the public if you do not camp there? After spending time on the beach, we prefer to take a full shower, not only rinse off at the beach?

    Technically they are only for campers, however I have seen others use them. If you use them respectfully, and leave them clean, I have seen them turn a blind eye. Once people start abusing them, (leaving them sandy and messy), that will most likely… Read more

    Are wood fires allowed?

    Yes but only on sites where fires are allowed.

    Can you buy ice now?

    When the FARIA BEACH CAFE opens in a few weeks yes.

    Is the dump station open to the public for a fee? Camping at Rincon Beach, looking for a dump site.

    No, you cannot dump here if you do not have a paid FULL HOOK UP site. They used to allow years ago for a fee but that ended. Also, VENTURA BEACH RV RESORT no longer allows you to dump for a fee. (City only allows if you are staying at the resort).… Read more

    Are there pay showers at the campsite and is there a place to get pottable water?

    Yes they have separate pay showers for men and women. The showers are open until 10pm. Be sure to bring quarters (.75=3/2 min) for ex. And they have a station where you can get water and wash your dishes.

    How do you go about getting a spot? Do you have to arrive early in the morning?

    No it's required that you reserve your spot in advance on the faria beach website. You choose a spot and pay in advance. Check in time is 12pm and check out time is 11am. This is no longer a first come first serve camping site.

    On Labor Day Weekend, for tent camping, what are my chances of getting a spot on Saturday morning?

    Very likely if you book a spot in advance, the non-hookup sites are usually up for grabs.

    How much is it to tent camp?

    I believe it's 35 a day

    Is it ever a problem with over crowding? When is the best time to go when we definitely be able to get a site? Also, what is December like?

    There are a limited number of sites and it is basically a large parking lot with dirt and a little grass but with an awesome beachfront location so who cares about crowding? Very clean in June. enjoy!

Some local beaches are starting to charge, but this one still offers PLENTY of free parking. In addition, there are multiple playgrounds - including a pirate galleon from when the park was established during my childhood, a THOUSAND years ago! It doesn't have the zip line that caused me to smash my leg into the concrete side, leaving a still visible scar 1,000 years later, which is probably for the best, but a kinder/gentler playground with more modern amenities for today's active child. There is also an expansive grass area, where you will find many local pups bounding about with joy. On the grassy areas, BBQs! Also a protected, man made beach cove with an easy enter, small to no wave water entry. Lots of families prefer to set up their space on the green grass and then make their way to the beach, which is an ideal way to have your picnic sand free! A foot shower is also available to rinse the beach off before you settle back onto your blanket. Plenty of benches, tables and a bathroom that is, if I'm being completely honest, acceptable, but could use an upgrade. If you're more active, make your way to the public dock to launch your kayak, paddle board, etc. I've also seen people fishing from this dock and launching remote control boats - so cute! If you haven't brought your own board or boat, there is a rental kiosk handily available. This is also a great park to stroll through. A clear path goes from the parking lot to the tip of the Ventura Harbor entrance, known as Soter Point, where a beautiful sculpture stands. When I think of the perfect beach park, I think of Marina Park in Ventura. Cheers! "CC"

I've spent countless mornings and afternoons here hiking, clearing my head, and getting a great workout in while still enjoying nature. The trails are well maintained with multiple options, so you can keep it light or make it more challenging depending on your mood. The views are beautiful, especially in the early morning or at sunset, and it never feels overly crowded. It has a calm, local Ventura vibe that I really appreciate. I've also brought kids I nanny here for walks and fresh air (sticking to the easier areas), and it's such a great space to reset. One thing to note: when it's hot, be cautious of snakes on the trails--proper shoes and awareness are important. If you're looking for a reliable, scenic place to hike in Ventura that locals truly love, Arroyo Verde Park is a must.

In the middle of the park is the toddler playground and then at the end of the park is the larger playground area for older children. There is lots of grass and a grass hillside. The highlight for me was the toddler playground. I work with children and often like to meet at parks to see their gross motor skills and work on them. This is one of the few parks left I have seen with sand. The park was very clean and even though there were many dogs off leash running around, pet owners were quite aware of where their dogs were and I didn't see any dog poop in the grass. You also can't beat that gorgeous ocean view. I came on a Friday late afternoon when they don't charge a park fee. Big plus!

It was on the coolish side, but the abundance of sunshine made it seem warmer. We had an early dinner down on Main Street. Where we parked there was a sign indicating that the eastern entrance to Grant Park was nearby. We had been up there perhaps only once in the past, and we'd gone in from the west. The drive up in the late afternoon / early evening had the golden glow magic to it. The light was amazing! I was driving and marveling at every twist and turn on the roadway while ascending the hills. The wildflowers and green groundcover from winter's rains made the scenery even more breathtaking than it might be when the grasses start to turn golden instead of green. I was able to drive all the way to the top parking lot, which overlooks the Serra Cross, and the entire Ventura coastline. The view encompasses the pier, the harbor, then beyond out to Channel Islands Harbor, Port Hueneme, and the western edge of the Santa Monica Mountains. It solidified my feelings in that moment of gratitude for enjoying life in Ventura County for the past 40 years. A gorgeous view on a clear day can do that for a person. When a sunny day happens, and the winds are calm, I can recommend taking a drive up to the top of Grant Park to make some of your daily cares seem very small. Looking down on the city / county from on high helped lift my spirits and added joy to my birthday celebrations.

A loved one first brought me here when I was about nine years old, and the memory has stayed with me ever since. Now that he's no longer with me, I find myself returning--not just to enjoy the scenery, but to remember the love he showed me by introducing me to places like this at such a young age. April is his birthday month, and I visited again just last week. I breathed in the scent of fresh lavender, sat in the sun over Easter weekend, and wandered the grounds at my own pace. Every moment of that solitude felt meaningful. Yes, this may sound a bit sentimental--but it really is that special. It's a beautiful place.
