About this property

Welcome to Caravan Outpost

Caravan Outpost offers a unique lodging experience blending elements of a hotel, camping cabin, and inn, nestled in a relaxed, bohemian-style setting in Ojai, California. The property features a collection of about 10–12 airstream caravans and a small cabin, arranged to provide privacy and a cozy atmosphere supported by well-maintained, landscaped grounds that guests describe as charming and tranquil. Extra outdoor seating and leisurely amenities such as a corn hole game and bike rentals contribute to a laid-back vibe.

The site serves multiple functions, including hosting small events and weddings, making it appealing for private gatherings in an informal yet cared-for environment. Its location at 317 Bryant St puts it within walking or biking distance of the town center, accessible via a paved trail that runs adjacent to the property. This convenience is highlighted by guests as a plus, especially for those interested in exploring local attractions like the Ojai Valley Museum, Soule Park Golf Course, and Lake Casitas.

Facilities include clean and well-equipped accommodations that focus on glamping simplicity rather than spaciousness, with check-in at 3 PM and check-out at 11 AM. Additional restrooms and showers on-site support guest comfort, and although there is no on-site host, staff remain responsive and accommodating through digital communication. The setting caters well to those seeking a private, off-grid style experience with easy access to nature and town.

Guests frequently comment on the property’s cleanliness, thoughtful service, and the inviting softness of the linens. The friendly, attentive staff receive praise despite their physical absence on-site, and the inclusion of a crowd-friendly policy towards the LGBTQ+ community further defines the welcoming atmosphere. Visitors traveling by car should anticipate some parking distance but benefit from provided carts to move luggage. This blend of rustic charm and practical amenities makes Caravan Outpost suitable for couples or small groups looking for a getaway that balances outdoor adventure with simple comfort.

I have had the pleasure of working with many hotels, retreats, cabins, and boatels, and I must say, the cleanliness and quality of service provided by Leilani and Aubs are simply amazing! They consistently deliver great kindness and a welcoming approach. The Outpost is the cutest getaway for any small event, private gatherings, or even Wine tour Preparations!

This is a fabulous glamping experience. If you want spacious accommodations this is not the place for you. For 2 adults we were quite comfortable in the deluxe caravan. The grounds are perfectly landscaped. Downtown Ojai is within walking distance. There is a newly paved biking/walking trail right next to the Outpost. Plus, it is easy to get back to the center of town from many places along the path. The staff was very helpful and available even if not on site. I highly recommend this place. I look forward to returning soon.

It's a fun, off-grid place to stay in an airstream. There's about 9 rigs on the property, but each unit feels very private. There are tables scattered around on the property to relax outside. They offer a corn hole game, bike rentals, and a large wagon to carry luggage. Staff is welcoming and accommodating. And the sheets are the softest, most inviting I've slept on! Wish I'd gotten the brand!

It was a fantastic getaway, and it’s great that it’s dog-friendly! I’m new to “glamping,” but I can definitely recommend this place. Each unit is very private with ample outside seating. Plus, the staff were incredibly helpful and easy to talk to, which made the whole experience so smooth. Ojai town center is just a short walk or bike ride along the Ojai trail, and Caravanoutpost even has bicycles available.

I can’t sing Caravan Outpost’s enough. Incredibly clean and well kept facility. While there is no host on site they are very reachable via text and usually took no more than 2 minutes to respond if I had questions. Also, the couple of times I did cross paths with staff members (I had left an item behind) they were above and beyond friendly. The best part is the Caravan is located right off a bike path that reaches all the way downtown. Five stars all around. Highly recommend.

Staying at the Caravans in Ojai was such a fun experience. The grounds are beautiful and the airstream was well equipped as described and very clean. It was great having the extra restrooms and showers also. We will definitely be back!

I’ve been wanting to stay here for years. I booked an airstream for December, 2020 and we had to cancel due to a Covid outbreak. When my friends and I were planning a California vacation I asked if we could add Caravan Outpost to the itinerary and they agreed it would be a fun addition to our road-trip. We loved our one night stay and found the space to be just what we were looking for. Management accommodated our requests quickly and they were very sweet. This has been a wonderful experience!

This is a great little place with about 10-12 airstreams and a little cabin, all tucked away in what could be described as an urban tropical oasis. It’s all very quaint and cute, with a boho chilled out vibe about it. I had a dog and a toddler with me and they both enjoyed it The Airstream was clean enough and well equipped. Parking was a pain because there was no availability close by but they provide a cart to haul your stuff from the parking spot. Toilets are clean and they provide bikes for getting around.
