Caravan Outpost - Ojai, California

Sara S

We booked 2 nights here following a recommendation on Instagram. It really did not disappoint. Coming from the UK on a road trip with our kids, we loved this stopover - we stayed in 'Julien' - one of the tiny houses, which actually was roomy for four of us. Absolutely loved the styling of the whole set up and beds were really comfy. Being able to just hop on the bikes when we needed was perfect. We explored Ojai and enjoyed eating in the restaurants and coffee house. Staff were responsive and friendly. It's a unique setting, and felt like camping but more comfortable. ||My only negative comment is that there were no kitchen supplies. This was clearly communicated beforehand, but there was a fully functional kitchen but no bowls, mugs, cutlery. As we were travelling, we had to buy disposable which seemed a pity given the cost of the nightly stay. ||All in all though, we loved our stay and so glad we came. We will recommend to others!

All amenities, tiny house and energy at Caravan Outpost was amazing. ||Our concierge Leilani, made our stay convenient, and was a delight to communicate with throughout our time there. She went above and beyond making us feel comfortable and taken care of!||Safe to say we’ve found our happy place in Ojai ♥️ when we come to visit.

Great alternative to a hotel or spa for the adventure driven. The 28 foot airstream was in great shape and very accommodating for three of us. Nice outdoor seating to mingle with others at the Outpost. Parking sufficed just outside of the entrance and everything seemed very safe and secure for the visit. Walking distance to plenty in Ojai. I'd recommend this to anybody looking to enjoy life a little outside of the norm.

A fantastic experience! My first visit to both Ojai and Caravan Outpost and neither will be my last. Stayed in the tiny house and it was absolutely perfect. My only regret was that I didn't have more time to spend there. Heads up (haha) that the loft has a very low ceiling, but my 6' son managed just fine. I have some anxiety around travel, and the top-notch and proactive communication from Leilani and the team put all of that to rest. (Thank you. ❤️)

I can't wait to return and am already pondering which friends I will invite along!

We have experience staying at properties such as Caravan Outpost so I was excited for our stay in Ojai. We reserved the Tiny House and two additional caravans for our family. The accommodations are as represented. I was a tad disappointed that the caravans are identical in interiors. It’s fun to experience subtle differences in designs, but that is not the case here. Also disappointing was the lack of basic amenities such as tissue (Kleenex) and toilet paper that is not painful to use. Drinking glasses and perhaps a wine glass or two would have been nice. Not sure what you are expected to do when you want a glass of water. Leilani was great and got us a few plastic solo cups. The property is lovely to spend time in sipping a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, not drinking it out of a paper or plastic cup. It seems this property is hanging on to COVID as an excuse to not go back to offering proper amenities which is what I expect in paying for a high end stay at a hotel. There was certainly plenty of hand sanitizer everywhere!! Those days are thankfully over. It’s okay to offer glassware!! Apparently they did prior to COVID. Now it is just convenient to keep those items in storage and not have to deal with cleaning glasses. Not sure I would go back. It’s expensive enough as it is without having to go buy glassware and a spoon to eat cereal with from a solo cup. That’s just not okay. This property should do better.

I have mixed thoughts about the Caravan Outpost. I feel it is neither here nor there. It does not feel like camping/glamping since it is in the middle of downtown Ojai, No fire pits (even though other Ojai hotels have gas fire pits and fire places on their properties). On the other hand if you are comparing to a hotel it isn't as comfortable but is priced like a hotel. |That being said I wanted to try this place for a long time and finally did and did enjoy our stay here. The caravan is clean, bed is comfortable, heat and AC work well and there is enough room for 2 people to move around fairly well. WIFI works well. The grounds are nice and it is pleasant to sit outside. There are clean shared bathrooms and showers if you don't feel like using the small one in the caravan. |Some of the decisions by the property management are not clear- There are 2 TVs in the caravan that don't work. Why not add a Roku stick and let people log into their own streaming services. There is a full kitchen - why not provide basic utensils for small meals? |All in all we enjoyed our stay but in the future not sure if I would stay here again unless it was a lot cheaper than a hotel.
