Wonderful campground for families. Would love it if the showers were consistent in temperature and more bathrooms spread throughout. Overall, a great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay. We can't wait to return in the future. Beautiful campground and plenty of activities for children. Only - the showers urgently require an update. Cleanliness was so,so - but more importantly the water pressure was horrible and it was next to impossible to shower. With updated showers this would have been a 5* stay

We enjoyed the park and our teepee. We were very disappointed with the shower and the restrooms. One shower was out of order, and the other one should have been. The knob to adjust the temperature was not working correctly. The water was either scolding hot or ice cold. Very unsafe as it would seem fine then progressively get hotter and hotter. Restrooms were just run down and not in good repair.

The staff is lovely and helpful. The cabins are clean (at least when you get there as we get them pretty dirty during our stay). I love the peacocks and all the activities. The pool is so great.

We love it there and this is our third trip. Unfortunately this trip had a lot of problems. We never had hot water, the bench outside our cabin snapped in half while we were sitting on it, and despite reporting these problems we never got them repaired. We still love the facility but a bit less impressed this year.

I wish there were more bathrooms and showers but other than that we loved everything else. The staff, the scenery, the activities, the pool, they were all great!

NO WIFI , NO AC , had to switch cabins TWICE, campground is run down, holes in ground covered with wood. I've given KOA thousand and I will not stay again after this.

It was excellent for me and my family to camp in Koa. It was a wonderful experience.
Aug 27, 2025
There wasn't much for my kids to do there. My son was too skinny for the obstacle course and the rock maze was super lame. The air wasn't on when I arrived and it was so hot I couldn't sleep. We used the pool and that was fun, but we weren't able to make a campfire any of the nights we were there.
Aug 26, 2025
The cabin had broken stairs (2 of them need to be fixed before someone is hurt) and AC didn't work well but it was hot muggy weather! We will most likely be back in March but want to rent the big 2 bedroom cabin as kids rented the tp tent and wagon that had no ventilation.

It was very family friendly all around good time, relaxing enjoyable fun definitely coming back again shortly already recommended my entire family. They’re all looking into it. Great memories catered to all my kids from different ages.

This is our second annual visit in the Summer to Ventura Ranch. The grounds are fantastic- offering so much to do! My kids' favorites are the ziplines, Santa Paula creek, bike trails, and peacock friends. There is plenty of shade. The staff we interacted with are super friendly and helpful. (Shout out to Frankie and Jesse!) We stay in the cabins and they have most everything we need.

All went as expected. The mattress needs to be replaced in the room I was in

Enjoyed staying at the KOA. Kids especially enjoyed the pool, bounce pillow, & mining for gemstones. Never camped before so we decided to rent a deluxe cabin. It was clean & comfy. It is supposed to supply all basic needs but be aware you will need to pack a sharp knife & paper towels if you want them. Also, we brought our own wood and lighter which was good because they were sold out.

We had a wonderful stay! Our TeePee space was incredible (3 & 4). Our neighbors staying in the covered wagon were less then good neighbors. They were loud well after quiet hours. We asked them to please be quiet as our kids were trying to sleep (10:30pm) so they moved inside but they were up to at least 2am - with loud discussion/fighting. We were intimidated by them to say something again.
Aug 19, 2025
We stayed Thursday through Sunday. We were very impressed by how clean the campground is. Also, although the campground is family oriented (lots of kids) we were pleasantly surprised by how quiet the campground was by 8:30pm. The only issue we did have was that the restrooms by the pool were not all working, as well as one of the showers and there was no warm water.
Aug 18, 2025
It was great. The bathrooms and showers were pretty gross though.
Aug 15, 2025
Our teepee was wonderful and we love all the activities on the grounds - all in all a lovely experience.
Aug 15, 2025
Friendly staff. Great accommodations. Lots of fun!
Aug 12, 2025
Staff was welcoming and helpful. Facilities were very well maintained and the range of activities and amenities on site made our visit, with multiple families, truly enjoyable and memorable.

The pool was broke when we first got there, then something was wrong with the ph, so we couldn’t go in again. Finally when we did go in the pool it was dirty, with pine needles and bugs in the pool.� Then our campsite didn’t have a picnic table. So I tried calling the office 6 times and nobody answered. So I finally had to drive to the office and let them know. Picnic table arrived aft
Aug 10, 2025
Upon arrival on August 4th we called the office to report that our gas bbq was not working and we were unable to cook for our 5 and 7 year old children. Did not hear back so went into Santa Paula for dinner. Next day someone came by and left a note and a lighter saying that the bbq was not working but to try and light same with the lighter that was left on the bbq. NO CONTACT FROM MGMT!!!
Aug 08, 2025
After we arrived to #8 and found that the AC was not working I called and the maintenance guy came twice but was not able to fix it, the front desk found us another cabin to move to and when we arrived there was many things that were missing in that unit (no freezer, no propane BBQ,, no glasses, no bowls and no cook top stove etc) they brought items that were needed and went above and beyond!
Aug 08, 2025
It was my family and I’s first trip to Ventura Ranch and we loved it! The cabins were amazing and the pool and jumping pillow were the kids favorite!! This will definitely be our campsite for years to come!
Aug 07, 2025
The deluxe cabin was perfect for our family of four and the camp amenities were great.
Aug 06, 2025
I like how each site has big space so we are not too close to other guests. Our kids enjoyed playing on jumping pillow and by the creek. Lot of space to walk around or play. Things we didn’t like are busted light bulb & step light inside our wagon (almost fell 2x) and their shower curtain smells terrible. I wish they are more consistent in maintaining their site clean and working.

Friendly and helpful staff. Loved all the activities! enjoyed the creek!

The site was less than clean, the bathrooms were in mediocre shape, one of the showers was not working and the pool was dirty. We had to request a cleaning.
Jul 31, 2025
This was my first time at a KOA and it will be my last. The activities were not as advertised which was the main reason I selected this campground. The obstacle course was only open Tues-Thurs and the additional fee was not communicated when making a reservation. The refrigerator in the cabin didn’t work. The pool was dirty, with debris and bandaids in it. I requested to speak to managers-no cal

My family disliked staying here! We got a wagon but had to change to a tent because the wagon smelled horrible! It was a hot box that made the smell worse. The bathroom only had 1 shower working. The grounds needed cleaning. All of the pool chairs were dirty or had some bird droppings on them. The pool was dirty. Horrible experience. you should inform guest that the unique amenities cost money
Jul 28, 2025
We had a nice stay overall, but there were several issues that affected our experience. The outside stair railing was loose, and the spacing between the bars is dangerously wide, our 2-year-old almost slipped through. The bed was slanted, the coffee pot and the dishwasher didn't work. We feel these safety and maintenance concerns should be addressed.
Jul 28, 2025
I enjoyed my stay. My cabin was clean. There were lots activities that kept my family busy and I loved the peacocks.
Jul 27, 2025
Very friendly staff. Very peaceful location. My kids loved the peacocks, kittens, giant bouncy thing and the creek. Thank you!

Cabin was adorable, clean and comfortable. Campsite was cozy but worked well. Not many activities in the KOA campground itself so we traveled to Solvang and Ventura for day trips. Having a bbq to use was great and the partial kitchen was a bonus.
Jul 26, 2025
We love it here. Love the creek the peacocks the ziplone and the cute nearby towns �ϋ�

KOA Santa Paula stay was very disappointing. Check-in code didn’t work, waited 1+ hour in heat for maintenance to end up giving master code. Cabin was dirty: dirty floor, dishes, and stained sheets. Had to clean myself. TV lacked power cord. Poorly maintained, not as advertised with “home amenities.” No apology. Won’t recommend. I request compensation for my family’s discomfort

needs horseshoe pits; Fix frisbee golf course; put reflective posts in dark areas where it may be dangerous for driving
Jul 21, 2025
I my family and I enjoyed our stay. My main complain is that the shower near the pool was not working properly. The water pressure was horrible (literally just drops coming out) and the second day someone pooped in the shower. So I couldn’t even shower the second day. Also for the zip line I would’ve liked for a worker to be at the 3 post of zip line to ensure that the children’s safety is k

The cabin was so cute! Loved the view and the pool was perfect! The peacocks �� and their babies were adorable!
Jul 18, 2025
We stayed in cabin2. It was clean and ready when we got there. Parking was a little tight with parking for cabin 3 right next to us. Trim the bushes and trees arond the cabin for easier access in the drive way.

The campgrounds are carefully taken care of and the staff is amazingly friendly and helpful. I would recommend this place for anyone who is looking for a great spot.
Jul 15, 2025
We enjoyed our stay -- loved the peacocks, the pool, and the creek. My kids spent hours on the bounce pad. That said, the bathrooms by the pool are falling apart. While they do need to be cleaned more often and thoroughly, especially on the weekend, they truly need a renovation. Parts of the floor in the women's restroom were sinking, one of the showers was out of order.

It was fun.

We always have a top-notch experience at KOA.

I stayed at Ventura Ranch KOA over the weekend and had such a great experience. We booked one of the cabins, and it was fully loaded—honestly, all we had to do was show up and enjoy. It made the trip super easy and stress-free. The pool opened early, which was a nice bonus, and there were so many activities to keep everyone entertained. The zip lines were a highlight, and kids will love things like gem mining and tie-dye. There's definitely no shortage of fun things to do. One of the coolest parts of the stay was seeing wild peacocks wandering around the property—it added a really unique touch to the whole experience. Overall, it was a fun, relaxing getaway, and I'm already looking forward to going back!

We rented a cabin and froze the first night bc there were no instructions on how to operate the "digital" heater. Also it did not state on the website that none of the children's activities were open during the week, which is when we were there during spring break. 😡
