Why Ventura Ranch KOA Is Our Favorite Family Getaway: A Review by Rockin’ Mama
We all need a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and there's no better way to recharge than by escaping into nature. That’s exactly what my family and I experienced when we visited Ventura Ranch KOA, as featured in a glowing review by Caryn Bailey from Rockin' Mama. This family-friendly campground nestled between Santa Paula and Ojai, at the foot of the beautiful Topa Topa Mountains, quickly became our new favorite spot to unwind, relax, and have fun together.
Here’s why Ventura Ranch KOA should be at the top of your list for family camping, group getaways, and more!
If you’re used to traditional camping but are ready to enjoy a more luxurious experience, Ventura Ranch KOA has the perfect solution: glamping! The campground offers a variety of accommodations that cater to every type of camper, from rustic to ultra-comfortable. As Caryn mentioned, KOA Deluxe Cabins offer a perfect mix of modern comfort and the great outdoors. These cabins are equipped with full kitchens, bathrooms, and cozy beds, making them an ideal home base for families.
If you prefer something a bit more unique, Conestoga Wagons (yes, you can camp in a covered wagon!) and Teepees provide quirky alternatives that are a huge hit with kids. For a more traditional but still comfortable experience, Safari Tents and RV sites are also available. Whatever you choose, Ventura Ranch KOA allows you to enjoy the outdoors without sacrificing modern conveniences!
One of the standout features that Caryn raves about in her blog is the Soar Over Ventura Zipline and Adventure Course. This exciting activity is perfect for families, groups, and even corporate retreats, offering both thrills and team-building fun. The Eagle’s Nest Zipline course allows you to soar above the trees, offering spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. If you’re seeking even more adventure, the Soar Over Ventura ropes course is an unforgettable experience that challenges both kids and adults to work together and conquer obstacles in the air.
For a more laid-back experience, kids can enjoy the jumping pillow, which was a huge hit with Caryn’s children. There’s also a rock climbing tower and gem mining, where kids can unearth semi-precious gems in a traditional water sluice.
One of the best things about Ventura Ranch KOA is that it allows families to bond in a beautiful, nature-filled environment. In her review, Caryn talks about how they spent their time playing games, roasting marshmallows around the campfire, and exploring the stunning Topa Topa mountains. The campground provides plenty of family-friendly amenities, including a resort-style pool (seasonal), perfect for a refreshing dip after a day of outdoor fun.
And, as Caryn points out, there’s no need to leave the campground to have a memorable vacation—everything you need is right here. The on-site store has all the essentials, from food and drinks to firewood and souvenirs, and you’re surrounded by nature, making it easy to disconnect and relax.
Ventura Ranch KOA isn't just perfect for families; it's also an amazing destination for group gatherings and corporate retreats. The variety of accommodations means that large groups can easily find a comfortable place to stay, and the range of activities provides endless opportunities for team-building and bonding. From ziplining to navigating the ropes course together, there’s something here for everyone to enjoy.
