Something not right?
Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
This is located in the Industrial area behind WinCo & Burlington and you can pretty much park overnight on the streets anywhere in the Industrial area. The end of Eastman & start of Ortega is a quiet little area as long as this one tweaker who likes to park his dumpy RV in the same area sometimes isn't around and doing a burn out.
It's right up against the strawberry fields and train tracks so it's got a nicer isolated feeling to it compared to other spots that's just parking lots and buildings for a decent stretch of blocks. Train does pass through though so that's noisy. People start showing up for work at around 4am so it's better to leave early but I've slept in a few times myself and haven't had any issues. You just have to be discreet and don't have all your stuff on full display. If you stay out of the way and aren't an eye sore you will be fine in this spot and general area.
During the weekends it's a ghost town and is a chill place to post up as long as you want again as long as you are being low pro but you can also be more relaxed than you could be during the week. Cell phone coverage is fine for me here. I stayed here for about 3 weeks and only had one run in with a cop that asked us to leave (idk if someone complained, probably the more likely case, or if he was just bored and doing the rounds in this area to chase out all the people who live out of their car and frequently stay in the area). So all in all not so bad and I would recommend to anyone who's visiting Ventura and sleeping in their vehicle since technically it's illegal to sleep in your car overnight in the city, but this is one of the main areas where you can get away with it and won't get a ticket and can get a good night's rest.

Latest Check-Ins
Have stayed here many times with no problems. There’s a lot of room to spread out or you can huddle with the rest on DuPont Ct if you like the idea of safety in numbers. Not a lot of riff raff hanging around selling drugs. Very quiet except for the train. Amtrak passes by two or three times a night. Freight trains once or twice. Well lit and very flat. Strong Verizon. Please, please, please keep it clean and respectful. The local businesses never seem to bother anyone as long as you’re not parking in a lot. Only park on the street and don’t leave trash behind. Police patrol every night. 👍
