Campground Reviews

Great campsite! Only issues is all of the spiders in the bathrooms and showers. If you sweep through daily, they won't come back and build webs.

We loved our extended stay at this KOA. Met lots of wonderful neighbors that became friends. We loved the lovely employees Sara and Kathy too. Thanks for giving us a fabulous time while we were there for 6 weeks.

Disappointed in the pool area especially. The pool wasn’t as clean as it should have been. All the tables were extremely unusable, filthy to be exact. Trash on the short cut to pool.�

It’s not ideal to not have full hook ups available more throughout the campground, especially with the state of the bathrooms. They’re full of cobwebs and spiders making children not want to use them. All of the restrooms and showers need a deep cleaning.

It was great. Everyone was very nice and helpful. I wish some trails were available from the campgrounds. The zip line/obstacle course was very fun for our family. I would come back again.

We have three little boys, so I’m very hesitant to take them anywhere, but this KOA was great for them, and us! We had a gorgeous view, and the camp sites were spread out enough that it felt private and actually out in nature. My only issue is that the stairs inside and outside the cabin are not childproofed at all, and very steep. Would love if they had a gate so toddlers can’t climb up the

This is by far the friendliest KOA staff we have been greeted and our stay was wonderful due to the staff. The showers had little water pressure, but we have had the same at other sites, so I don't think they were a big concern. Overall am planning to return in the future. There are so many trails we didn't get to and so much stuff to do. THIS IS A GREAT SPOT FOR ALL.

My family and I had an amazing day. We were at Pine 11 and 12 so two separate campsites. But close enough to be with each other. We had an amazing time. The facility was great with the activities and pool.

We had a short stay a weekend getaway.The atmosphere was very nice, Friendly staff. Althrough the bathrooms were run down compared to other KOAs, We hope someday to see a new or remodeled bathrooms Otherwise it was a nice place! The Ziplines were really fun, The pool was nice, Alot of activities for our teens. We do regret not bringing our bikes, real big KOA for bike rides..

Enjoyed the peace and quiet campsite. Staff was friendly and helpful. The pool was pleasant and refreshing. Only recommendation would be regarding the bathrooms be kept up a bit more.

Upon arrival, the cabin was smaller that what was depicted in the photos. The fisheye lens should not be used to take pictures. The cabin had about half an inch of dust in it and we had to clean before putting our stuff in. Peacock poop all over the front door area and had to navigate like a mine field. Overgrown brush over the grilling area, had to bush wack. Wasted day just settling in. More...

Incredibly helpful and polite staff. They had no problem going out of their way to accommodate us. Definitely a fun place for the kids, lots to do and explore.

Only issue was the wifi in the Alder location. There was none. I had to use my hotspot to connect….!!

It was our second stay at Ventura Ranch KOA and it did not disappoint. Our family of 5 had a wonderful time enjoying all the amenities! My kids can’t wait to weight enough to do the ropes course!

Always such a great stay at this campground. The kids love it and so much to do, there's no need to leave the campground!

Enjoyed all amenities within this site. Noticed their was a water leak within the bathroom that has been wet for awhile. Would have been nice to have that fixed prior to arriving.

Our cabin was fine however the coffee maker was not clean and there was still a little coffee left from the previous occupants in it. Also, in our bathroom, one of the towel was stained and when I pulled it out of the shelf, a cap to a jar of some sorts fell out and there was a hair clip stuck in it. I believe this is what had stained the towel so it looks like this had been there for a while.

Loved it! Can't wait for next year !

Great place to explore outdoors, but not as nice or entertaining as other KOAs. Bathrooms were not cleaned very well. They did not have many activities on Friday. Son was really looking forward to zip line. Very bad lighting around campground.

Dirty bathrooms with cobwebs all over. Steps to bathroom needs sweeping; liability of tripping over debris. The camp is not well maintained. Shithole! My patio area, and table was filthy dirty. I paid for a patio area that I didn't use. When we arrived, there was a bunch of swimming gear on our patio chairs from the campsite nearby. Thank goodness for the peacocks!

Use to love this campground. But last two times it has been disappointing. Bathrooms are not kept up and grounds seem to be unmaintained.

It was one of the best KOA, campgrounds I ever stayed in. Has a great pool, very large shaded trees wonderful tent sites. Would stay here again.
Jul 28, 2023
Very nice campgrounds lots of things to do there. The peacocks were a big hit with my family, we love them.

Our campsite had plenty of shade. The bathrooms were dirty and there was no soap. Also, if the wind blew the wrong way, the sewar smell coming from the pool area was disgusting.

The pool needed cleaning, the site needed cleaning, AND our neighbors were beyond loud way pass 11:00 pm. Your security was prompt on quieting them. Our registration was incorrect. Mixed up with another Anthony

Our grandsons really enjoyed the pool and the jumping pillow! We only used the restrooms by the pool. I know you have no control over how messy people are, but it would be nicer if they were cleaned more often.
Jul 27, 2023
Very dirty toilets and showers. There was a lot of trash in the pool area, a smell of urin and generally unhygienic conditions at the campsite.

Nice and quiet during the evening. Clean restrooms. Nice staff. Just a few complaints, I think you charge too much for the rocking climbing apparatus, and it would be nice to have more campsite with full hook ups or another dump station. But I love staying a KOA's.

Staff was great and the campground was awesome. Highly recommended campground.

Nice park, lots of trees, clean and maintained facilities, friendly and helpful staff….. thoroughly enjoyable stay!

Our church family had an amazing weekend. We were well taken care of by the awesome and friendly KOA staff. We're already looking forward to next year's family camp at KOA.
Jul 26, 2023
I only have 2 concerns 1.- Homeless mixing themselves with campers 2.- The pool was dirty on Monday, the water was very cloudy

The place was great. Do not like tent number 7. Too close to bathrooms so it smelled at times and sun hits it for 3-4 hours in the mornings.

Had a great stay with family! First night the nearby bathroom a bit messy but got cleaned up right by morning, good job KOA staff!! Would be nice if there was an adult's only pool. On our weekend stay the pool was over-run with kids, which is great, but it would be nice if adults had a place to cool off in peace. Beautiful area and most of the sites had nice shade coverage. I'd go again!
Jul 25, 2023
It was good we were really looking forward to go find big foot at night so the kids were a little sad about that . Hoping you bring back that soon .
Jul 25, 2023
We had a blast!! The staff were very helpful and respectful we can't wait to go again..

The ropes course and pool were big hits. My only complaint is the bathrooms are atrocious. The women's restroom (the one by the pool) is dirty, the locks don't work on most of the stalls, one of which was completely not even functioning. One faucet only let out a trickle of water. It doesn't take much to attend to this, just put a simple eye hook on the door. Minus one star for the bathroom.

What a wonderful place to relax and have some fun.

Campground has beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and the staff is friendly and helpful. The bathrooms and showers need to be maintained a bit more. And the campground was sold out and it was very hot,they rented the pool out for a large private party of non campers that was supposed to there from 9-10am and gone before the pool opened but they stayed into the afternoon.

Other than the power being out for a couple of hours it was great.

We rented a glamping tent, and although the site itself was beautiful, there were some things that need improvement. Initially, our bed slid off of the back portion of the tent bc the canvas was ripped on the back wall. Then the bed broke, which they fixed but it was embarrassing for my husband. Lastly, our showers were cold and there was no water pressure. We would come back, but in a cabin!

So much fun it’s my first time going and I loved it I’m planning to go again in the winter!
Jul 24, 2023

Our stay was stupendous! We can't remember the names of the entire staff we encountered but "great" began with Carol! Alexis & Sarah, too! The store is filled with things you need & things you'll love. The site was fantastic. The grounds are gorgeous & well maintained. Can't say enough about the staff. And love the peacocks & hens!! One of our best CG's! Be back soon! Great location close to Ventura Harbor, Ojai & downtown Santa Paula.!

This was our second visit to this RV campground. The place is so relaxing and peaceful. There are cool peacocks roaming, the staff is incredibly nice and friendly and the store/ office is open late if you need something.
