We visited Ventura Ranch KOA in August and then again in November. We can see that improvements and renovations from the Thomas fire have been continuing at a good rate. The showers and toilets near the Clubhouse were kept clean. I wish the toilets above the A loop were open... 12/2/2020

I was great staying at Ventura ranch KOA. The staff is always friendly and they help with any issues you may have. 12/2/2020

The stay was good But you need to upgrade your WIFI, especially since you don't have cable now. 12/1/2020

Easy to book. Very kind staff. Sadly, didn't know that ALL amenities were closed till we checked in. Very unfortunate and unfair at the price we paid. 12/1/2020

Overall we enjoyed our stay - it was quiet and peaceful. Because we could not have fire due to the Red flag conditions, it would have been nice to have better internet. 11/30/2020

Love Ventura Ranch. Already booked our sites for July and November next year. 11/30/2020

Everything was wonderful about the campsite. Miguel is awesome and very helpful. We would come back just to get his service again. 11/30/2020

Just amazing!!! Staff were so friendly. The area was just blissful, our spot could not have been any better! I can't wait to go back! 11/30/2020

They handled COVID very well and as a few amenities are closed for this reason, the addition of arts and crafts was so much appreciated and loved by my kids. We really enjoyed our time here and will be back, for sure. 11/29/2020

Greeted upon arrival by most friendly staff. Campground clean, quiet and very well maintained. 11/29/2020

Your staff are all so gracious, kind and patient. Just wonderful! Campsite is well maintained: but don't sell grass tent pads on line if you don't have any grass - that will help with setting accurate expectations and my planning on bringing more padding!!! 11/29/2020

We had a great time something we closed due to COVID-19 which is not there fault. The covered wagons were an absolute hit with the kids. They are still recovering from a wildfire a couple of years back. I can’t wait to come back and try the zip line/rope course. 11/29/2020

The cabin was great! The location was peaceful and we enjoyed our stay. The reason for 4 stars was because of when we arrived the code to the cabin was not working. We called the after hours emergency phone several times with no response for almost and hour and half... 11/29/2020

Pleasant stay. Camp store would be great. 11/27/2020

Great staff. Very accommodating. We now call it home! 11/27/2020
