Review of Caravan Outpost 2*

Thanks to Caravan Outpost and the exceptional staff for making our Ojai stay a great one! We arrived on a Friday night and although we were late getting in (they close offices at 10PM), Vicky our hostess for the night, was kind enough to stay and wait for us to arrive and check-in. When we arrived we thought we were in the wrong place, but the lights and airstreams we saw from the road was an immediate sign we were at the right location. We walked in and my 5 year old commented, "it feels like we're in Hawaii, Mommy! ". Yes, that was the vibe that greeted us at Caravan Outpost, like an oasis in the middle of town. There was a fire-pit with a good crowd in the middle of the courtyard, people playing live music at some of the tables, and candlelight dinners on the open bench seating areas… it was a welcoming and inviting sight that greeted us! We walked towards the store area and Vicky greeted us and immediately showed us to our "homes" for the stay: Diego & Sam. Sam was the smaller of the two and my boys were more than thrilled to see the LP player and set-up of the modern but cozy airstream that is Sam. Ours was Diego and this bad boy can sleep up to 5 and perfect for us girls. There's even a bunkbed! Vicky explained the workings of the airstreams, what we needed to know about using the bathroom, shower, heater/AC, fridge, oven/microwave, what was available, and the public restrooms that we could use as well. There's even reading material available that are clear and self-explanatory for all that Vicky explained. No-brainer. We loved this place! The kids loved this place! They got to have smores, which were provided, hang out with the crowd at the firepit, and enjoy live music! This was more than we expected! Thank you Caravan Outpost for the enjoyable and memorable experience! When we left it truly was like leaving an oasis in the middle of nowhere (city/town). If you visit Ojai, this is a must-do location. We will definitely be back!
