Amazing staff but there are no crafts offered on Sunday’s during off season & NO rock climbing wall & no adventure course available so basically nothing extra available that the kids love during “off season.” We would gladly pay more if these activities especially the rock climbing wall was open regularly it’s just sitting there! Pool bathrooms are run down.Cabins are getting moldy in bath

The area around my tepee could have been cleaner....the sink nearby was not orderly, the garbage can was full...this is a Thursday. Inside the tepee there should have been at least 1-2 hooks for one's clothes or towels. No hooks or shelves for personal items in the bathroom, the same for the shower. In both rooms/areas your personal items got wet. Sorry for not saying Thank You.

We did the ropes course which was amazing. walked the creek trail, played in the pool and on the bouncy pillow and had a great time. The staff was friendly and helpful. I highly recommend the ropes course. I also stayed in a spacious and renovated cabin.

The grounds were beautiful and were the reason we still had a wonderful time, however our cabin was not clean upon arrival (lots of food crumbs in the pull out bed, dirty floors, lots of strands of hair on bedding, etc.). Additionally, many of the activities that were the main reason we chose KOA Ventura were closed (zip line, rope course, gem mining, etc.). The website got our kids’ hopes up.

We always enjoy our stay at Ventura Ranch KOA.

Had a good time

I am sure the KOA staff and owners are wonderful. We rented a teepee. The outside and inside of the teepee was so infested with spiders and spider webs that every time I swept the spiders off the bed they crawled back on. Therefore we left. Since we arrived late we did not contact management, but what could they have done?

Only 1 shower working near the pool, need to fix the shower because uou can not regulate temperature its too hot. Otherwise, its a nice stay
Sep 05, 2024
Phone inquiry prior to visit is not as pleasant but got the information I need. The teepee is ok although some minor fixes should have been done before every new family to rent them. The "door" has openings not fixed. The side panels are dirty. For 4d/3n, "full" zipline booking then you see them stop serving for few times a Day, staffing issue. Overall enjoyed coz group event.

The grounds really need some TLC! It's a beautiful location but it's in need of repairs and upgrades! The bathrooms and showers are in need of major , doors don't lock. The floor even has big holes in it! The campsites need pickets replaced and upgraded. Love the KOA but owner needs to put some work into repairing things and upgrading things. The pool area and gate/fence/ shower need work done.

We live in the city so this place is our chance to get away from it all. We stayed in the nicest cabin that is meant for 4 people max (according to their website). We were a family of 4 while our neighbor easily had 15+ people. They wanted to park 5+ cars in the small space between our cabins. It was so loud at night we could not enjoy our campfire in peace. Very disappointing stay.

The cabin was not as pictured on the website, only activity that was opened was the zip lines. The blankets that were provided smelled so bad.. I’m unsure if it was the storage bag, but it made all linen smell.
Aug 26, 2024
We are so thrilled we discovered Ventura Ranch KOA. Our group had such a fun time and made so many incredible memories. Our favorites were the trampoline pillow, swimming in the creek, and conquering the zip line/adventure course. We will definitely be back! Huge shout out to Doug in the office and Frankie who were so friendly and helpful. Thank you!

Cabin was not clean, restroom smelled like urine and shower was dirty. there was pubic hair in shower floor.
Aug 24, 2024
Had a very good time. I really like that cabin that we stayed at only had hot water in the shower AC only really worked the day we got there. And a bad ant problem when we left in the kitchen. Up to the loft.. Mentioned this to the gal when we left. Had forgot to tell her about the hot water not happening in the kitchen sink or the bathroom sink.. Other than that it was nice .

Our Delgado Family Reunion was awesome thank you for your hospitality

We had a couple of lighting issues in NBC-2 that were called in early morning on 8/17. Also, the door code on our back patio was not working either. Ihad to leave a voice-mail as the office was still closed. Sat morning the door code was fixed but no one came back to fix theback patio lights being out completely not working & The dining area lights never worked either, no one came to fix.

This was our third stay this time he stayed any TV we love the surroundings we love the peacock we enjoyed the zip line and obstacle course all workers are very pleasant and we already have reservations for next year

Great tipi tent, nice location for kids of all ages. Watering hole - amazing! The bad: dozens of bees swarming on you every time you take food out and try to cook/eat. I know is nature, but there are so many spiders - they just drop on you while sitting around the fire. For a summer week-end there were no activities for kids (zip line, gem mining, rock climbing closed). Facilities out of order.
Aug 14, 2024
Bathrooms were severely dirty, dated and non functional. Sewage from the toilets were leaking from the manhole in pool area. Severe deferred maintenance . No pool skimmer available for debris in pool and trash cans were overflowing. We stayed in a tee pee with the glamour package and it was set up well and was great.

We had a wonderful time EXCEPT the climbing wall was broken and the mining station was also not available (no reason given!) and there was only 1 Arts and craft event scheduled the whole 4 days we were there! After having been here 2 other times and all the activities were available so we were disappointed.

Our stay was great. Desk may have been overwhelmed at times. Prior to stay, contact by phone or email was a little inconsistent. Cathy did a fantastic job at handling an overwhelming demands of all. Site#23 needs a big tree trim around the charcoal grill, or small gas grill be better, and a room fan. Maybe more simple family/kid activities throughout the afternoon/early evening. Enjoyed it all!

The welcoming is just fine, the deluxe cabin is good (too low ceiling in the mezzanine) . BUT the owner/manager is not correct: we could only stay one night because the campground is too far and long away from LA ( why call it LA North?) . The manger wanted us to pay for the whole 4 days period even though your site mentions that the penalty is one night. To be short they owe us about 50$ but no

Great location but our cabins had a lot of yellow wasps that came out during meal times. They’d pester us nonstop and start feasting on the food. Did not see a nest but probably colony nearby
Aug 05, 2024
There are so many fun activities for kids including pool, zipline and gem mining. We loved to enjoy them :) However, service was not satisfying...I couldn't hear anything even though I requested to bring some extra bath towels to our cabin. Also, one of staffs is not kind, so I asked same thing to another staff next day, and she kindly helped me. Will be back for our children next year.

The camp ground has potential to be really amazing. A few things we enjoyed: pool, jumping pillow, creek and gem mining. Things we were not so fond of: -tents need upkeep. Microwave did not work properly, door wouldn’t stay closed, edges around tent were open and allowed spiders into tent. -trails not really visible and unsafe -bathrooms were not well maintained

It was fantastic! Great place to stay with excellent amenities & activities for adults & kids! We were at tipi site. My only feedback is please please please refill toilet paper ! We stayed Friday to Sunday & women's restroom was out by saturday & no one refilled! Shower a little wonky & tough to get it warm! Otherwise awesome place & we will definitely return!
Jul 29, 2024
Best Cabin stay we have had. They have thought of everything and they utilize the natural land and it’s just a beautiful place to be. Definitely coming back!
Jul 27, 2024
The only thing I’d say is that the pictures were confusing on the website and I thought I was getting a full kitchen in my cabin, but I didn’t. Other than that it was amazing!!!!
Jul 27, 2024
Amazing & Perfect!!!

Every staff has kindly ,the cabin really great.Thank you so much.

We love staying at the property and love the covered wagons. It is such a family friendly place and the staff are extremely helpful. However we were disappointed at the state of the pool bathroom & shower area especially in comparison to the other facilities located near the RV’s. If management could address those issues it would this would be a four to five star property for us.
Jul 23, 2024
Overall it was a good stay. The bathrooms near the pools were always so dirty. Guessing they are the most used ones which makes the upkeep harder. My suggestion would be to have a designated restroom for the pool area and a separate one for the surrounding campsites. Teepee had trails of ants inside when we got there luckily staff was nice enough & gave us ant spray. So bring ant spray!
Jul 23, 2024
It was highly fun for the kids and adults we will visit again

Office staff is really nice! Our kids had a lot of fun! The zipline was a hit!

We reserved 3 cabins and upon check in, the toilets in 2 of the 3 cabins were not working. It took about 2 hours for the toilets to be fixed so that was a big inconvenience. The public restroom was filthy and unkept. But the staff was pretty friendly and the zipline/adventure course was really awesome! The kids loved it!!

This is our 4th year and we will be returning next year! Even with spiders in our Teepee
Jul 16, 2024
Our stay was great but there were two issues. There were very loud campers way past curfew and nothing was done about them. Also the bathrooms were filthy most of the day except right after they were cleaned in the morning. They should be cleaned more than once a day. The toilet paper was left on the back of the toilet instead of in the dispenser which isn’t sanitary and it’s difficult to reac
Jul 15, 2024
Seems to be understaffed and run down a bit Climbing wall never opened and lack of activities compared to other KOA’s. Bathroom dirty constantly Gem mining was good staff friendly
Jul 15, 2024
Loved the beautiful cabins! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Our stay would have been better if the rock climbing wall was available and if there were more time slots for the activities like the arts and crafts.
Jul 13, 2024
The front office staff was awesome and very responsive! The zip line crew was outstanding and went above and beyond in helping all six of my children have a wonderful time. Thr grounds were spotless and the facilities including the pool and bathrooms were spotless. We love Ventura Ranch KOA and it has become a tradition for our family each year!

Paid 570$ for a cabin that had no air or fan, couldn’t sleep Or hangout in there because of how hot it was. It was 90 in cabin. The pool had overflow sewage poop/pee all over the floor while we swam. Bathrooms dirty also. Mining for gems was shut down because of plumbing issues and we had to wait 45 minutes in the hot sun with 6 kids. Only had 2 activities while we were there. So much more
Jul 11, 2024
Wonderful!
Jul 08, 2024
We stayed at the co9 love that it has its on deck close to the restroom. I wish that the showers was working better. There was hardly any water coming out and should be replaced with hand held extended shower head. So the place can be easily cleaned. Inside the shower floors was dirty and even the soap counters.

A definite gem in Santa Paula! Doug and crew are the best and very accommodating!
