Stay in Style at Ventura Ranch KOA: The NBC-Featured Penthouses
When it comes to unique and luxurious camping experiences, Ventura Ranch KOA in Santa Paula, California, has set the bar high with its penthouse cabins—but what makes them truly special is their fascinating history. These stunning accommodations were featured on NBC's "American Dream Builders", a reality show where designers competed to transform identical buildings into masterpieces. Today, they’re available for you to enjoy during your stay at Ventura Ranch KOA, offering a perfect blend of high-end luxury and nature’s beauty.
The penthouses at Ventura Ranch KOA weren’t always part of the campground. In fact, they were originally built for a competition on NBC’s "American Dream Builders" in 2014. The show featured teams of designers who had to work with identical structures and create completely unique, show-stopping designs. Once the competition was over, the set producers were planning to take down these beautiful structures, but Scott Cory, the owner of Ventura Ranch KOA, saw an opportunity.
He purchased the four penthouse cabins, each with its own distinctive design, and moved them to his campground, where they’ve since become one of the most popular accommodations available.
