This is a great place for families with younger kids who want to spend a long weekend enjoying the resort's amenities. If this isn't you, look elsewhere. The RV sites are extremely close to one another. Larger RVs have difficulty avoiding trees and other vegetation as you drive into and out of the resort. Other vehicles are parked very close to and on the resort's paved roads (making driving into and out of the resort a challenge). The staff provided poor instructions and were unfriendly throughout our stay. While the name of the resort is Ventura Beach, you won't get a view of the Beach without getting to the other side of the 101 (not as easy as it appears on the map). We were on the road for nine days during our most recent RV trip, spending the night in a different RV campground each day. This was by far the worst place we stayed and cost more than twice as much as every other location. We will not return.

We recently stayed here and had a fantastic experience. We loved winding down in the heated pool and hot tub. Having access to clean restrooms, hot showers, and laundry facilities on-site was incredibly convenient. The free Wi-Fi worked great, and it is an exceptionally kid-friendly environment with a playground and recreation room that kept the children fully entertained.Safety was never an issue during our stay, allowing us to fully relax. Every staff member we encountered provided outstanding customer service. The on-site general store is completely fully stocked with everything you need, and the live music on the weekends was a wonderful added plus. Our kids enjoyed the night bike parade! Thanks Mikes Lights! We highly recommend this comfortable, well-equipped coastal resort!

The park is on the highway, which didn’t bother me but my father some. I live in a quiet community however I found the traffic to be lulling. The place is very clean. The employees were kind. The downside for me was the showers, those were kind of dated and not enough of them. We had to wait around 8 o’clock at night for about 15 minutes outside. Can ride bike/walk to restaurants if want to. We enjoyed our stay.

This was where I stayed when I couldn't get any information from the Emma Woods State Park online or at the unattended gate. It is not cheap, $169 per night. But, it was the only port in the storm! However, the staff was great! The space was great! The property was great! Even though it is close to the Hwy 101, most of the time I couldn't hear the noise. In spite of the cost, I enjoyed my stay and will very likely be back. It would be nice to not pay as much to stay as it costs to stay at a nearby hotel. There were many families and it was seriously a good stay. Cost is my only concern.

Ventura RV Resort has been our family’s favorite summer getaway for years! Every year we bring our fifth wheel and spend an entire week relaxing, making memories, and enjoying everything this beautiful resort has to offer. From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense of calm. The grounds are impeccably maintained, the landscaping is beautiful, and everything is always clean and well cared for. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help, and having 24/7 security gives us peace of mind throughout our stay. One of our favorite things is how family-friendly the resort is. The kids absolutely love riding their bikes, roller skating, taking the train rides, enjoying ice cream socials, listening to music, and participating in the fun weekend activities that are always thoughtfully planned. There is never a shortage of things to do! The location is perfect, with easy bike rides to the beach and all the beauty Ventura has to offer. The on-site store is incredibly convenient and stocked with just about anything you might need during your stay. If you’re looking for a place to relax, reconnect with family, and create lasting memories, Ventura RV Resort is the place to go. We look forward to coming back year after year and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing RV vacation ! You guys Rock !

When I first Googled Ventura campsites, this location came up, and I’ll be honest—I was a little hesitant. The reviews were all over the place, and I didn’t quite know what to expect. I decided to follow them on Instagram, and I saw a post mentioning they were under new management. The tone felt different—like they were trying to reset and make things right. That gave me enough confidence to book a weekend. From the first phone call, I felt comfortable. The young lady I spoke with was all about customer service—engaging, kind, informative, and she took the time to explain my options. That made the decision easy. I ended up really enjoying the stay. I like that they have a pool and jacuzzi—there’s nothing better than getting in the hot tub after surfing in the morning. They’ve got convenient trash areas, and the showers are free, which I appreciate since I’d rather not use the one in my RV. The water was hot with solid pressure. There was a Saturday night bicycle parade that I didn’t participate in, but it was fun to watch roll past my campsite. The store is well stocked, and I noticed they’ve removed the political hats and shirts that people had mentioned in older reviews—which, honestly, I think is the right call. Why bring that into camping? Let people just enjoy the experience. I didn’t have any issues with noise after hours. I know some reviews mentioned late-night parties, but that wasn’t my experience at all. In fact, I’ve now stayed three separate weekends, and it’s been consistently good each time. They sell firewood and just about anything you might need for your RV. There was even a taco stand during one of my stays—looked like an outside vendor, but a nice touch. They’ve got old-school arcade games like Pac-Man, plus laundry facilities if you need them. It’s not right on the water like some of the county or state campgrounds—it’s about a block away—but it’s an easy walk or ride. One upside is that it’s closer to Old Town Ventura, which makes it easy to hop on a bike, grab dinner, and enjoy the area. They also offer some lower-cost sites with water and power but no sewer hookup. I’m planning to try one of those next, and I’m fine with using the dump station to save a little money. All in all, it’s been a really good experience. I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt like this one was worth sharing. Thumbs up to Ventura Beach RV Resort.

This resort is my family’s slice of heaven away from home. We live in Thousand Oaks so it’s 30 min drive to see all the smiling faces. The grounds are emasculate, every person including the owner are the nicest and sweetest you’ll ever meet. From movie nights on the big screen, to food trucks at night, to the arcade center. Perfect family fun. The pool and hot tub were clean and the beach is a 5 min walk. 💯 our favorite place and a lot of it for me is knowing my kiddos are safe to run around and ride bikes and explore. You won’t go wrong staying with our friends at the Ventura Beach RV resort.

Listen up, fellow awesome people! Life is too short for boring weekends. Ventura Beach RV Resort is THE place to reclaim your glory days. Fun for everyone 5 minutes to 150 years old. Where to begin…The staff is absolutely incredible (they must have been trained by Chuck Norris himself on the art of being a damn good time!). And let's talk about the amenities - breakfast, movie nights, DJs, camp fires, crafts, giveaways - it's like a never-ending party perfect for all ages that you never want to leave. Plus, the store has everything you need to keep the beer flowing and the good times rolling. The landscaping at Ventura Beach RV Resort is something people on your Instagram try to duplicate in their photos. Beautiful palm trees, spacious RV spots, clean facilities, and grass so soft you want to sleep on it. And did I mention the big spaces becuase im going to say it again for those in the back? Plenty of room for setting up a killer BBQ, big screen projector, or dance floor. So if you're looking for a fun-filled weekend with the coolest people you will ever meet (cough cough Dennis), Ventura Beach RV Resort is the place for you. It's like Coachella and Stagecoach, but with RVs, cooler people, and you dont have to sell a kidney to afford it. Trust me, you'll have the time of your life!

What a great RV park location- you can ride your bike from the RV park to the beach without ever being in the road. And then ride on the boardwalk, past the pier and the beach and through a city park and back. Watching surfers run barefoot with their boards from their cars on Main Street to the surf was a favorite of mine. And Cody, told me to check out the end of Main Street where u can walk to and that was such a long blocked off area of the historic district protected from cars, and patrolled; an area to feel safe, shop, walk, bike, and eat and drink, and then walk back to the park. Ventura is simply an awesome historic town. I met a woman there named Martha who owns Ecugreen and now I have a new friend for life. She greets you for the first time as if she knew you for a lifetime. Great store with Ecuadorian goods and such a lovely person she is. The park is so pretty and I love the long wide roads and the many beautiful trees. Great stay- Great staff. We always say RV parks are only as good as the people at the front desk. Of course we had a couple of issues like anywhere else but the difference is, it is run by a man named Kylie, and he could not have been more accommodating, respectful, and just a nice person. We would definitely stop in there again when on the west coast. Special thanks to Kylie, Adrianna, Cody, Beverly, Sam, Tilia, Christine, Megan, Ventura, Juda, Ceaser, Rob, and I apologize, but I can’t recall the women’s name in admin who passed me off to Kylie, after she validated our minor complaint about our neighbor. Spike (?) working the security was a great guy too. So if you ever want to park and party, or park and relax on weekdays, this is a wonderful place to do so!

Employees are rude, speeding around on their little carts just to give you a hard time. The freeway is extremely noisy, and it’s really too bad. It’s a nice place, but that’s about it. There’s no beach access, and the rules and prices are ridiculous. Just pick another park there are plenty of places directly on the beach with friendly service and cheaper prices.

Ventura Beach RV Resort has become one of my absolute favorite places to stay. As the owner of Seaward Brewing, I’m constantly looking for spaces that inspire creativity, offer comfort, and allow me to recharge — and this resort delivers every single time. From the moment you arrive, you can feel how much pride the team takes in keeping the property clean, welcoming, and truly guest-focused. The sites are well-maintained, the amenities are convenient, and the location is unbeatable — peaceful, beautiful, and just steps from everything Ventura has to offer. What I value most is the genuine hospitality. Every stay feels personal. The staff always goes above and beyond to make sure we’re comfortable and enjoying our time. As someone who runs a business built on community, I really appreciate that same energy here. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway, a place to unwind between workweeks, or just a well-run resort that treats you like family — Ventura Beach RV Resort is the spot. Highly recommended.” — Monique, Seaward Brewing

It is a beautiful RV Park and very well maintained. Amazing concrete pads, good size and nice healthy grass at each site. We knew going in that there would be a pretty good amount of road noise and we were not wrong. What we did not know is if you happen to book on a holiday weekend (we spent 3 nights during Veterans Day weekend)or literally anytime a group books multiple sites, they pretty much have carte blanche to make as much noise as they want. That includes playing music at concert levels until 1:00 AM and shouting F bombs at each other. We like a good time as much as anybody, but common decency and courtesy calls for taking the noise level down at say 10:00. Not so here, we asked if there is a quiet time and were told sort of but if a group wants to party we kind of just let them. We were two sites away from the main party location and believe me sleep was not an option, and the policies of the park are no refunds for any reason. I can say with certainty that we won't be booking here again. Two stars for the beautiful amenities and no more for the lack of sleep. Ventura is a really great town even when you are forced into zombie mode when trying to enjoy it. So, with all that said book at your own tolerance levels.

Summary: Not a "beach resort", Nice campground, too expensive, NO REFUNDS for cancellations. -Its called "Ventura Beach RV Resort" because its in Ventura Beach, not because its on the beach. The beach is a long walk or bike ride to the other side of HWY 1/101. -It is in fact nice campground...concrete pads full hooks, easy in/out, quiet at night, and secure. There's also full amenities (pool, jacuzzi, laundry,...) That said... -It is expensive, overpriced IMO. There's a lot less expensive places to park a camper. Now, were it not for the following factor, I would have rated the park higher: NO REFUNDS FOR CANCELLATIONS, regardless of lead time. I made a reservation almost two weeks before check-in, then learned our team mates were staying elsewhere. I called back within hours of making the reservation and was told I would only get a credit for the stay to be used within six months. With no chance of returning in that window, we just sucked it up. This is a short sighted policy that says "I have your payment and don't care about customer relationships." Fair enough.

I don’t know how or why this place had low ratings! The staff is always incredibly polite, we have met the owner and he is very nice as well. The resort is secure and kids have a blast! It’s a little pricy but they have great specials to make up for it. We always leave wanting to have been able to stay longer.

First-time customer traveling in a 45-ft Class A. I would not recommend this park for larger Class A coaches (40 ft+) unless you don’t mind scratches. Trees are not trimmed up, and when combined with cars parked on the roads, you’ll often end up hugging one side and scraping branches down your rig. The park is also extremely strict, with rules that seem more about making money than hospitality. Even family members stopping by for a few minutes have to check in and pay for a pass. I understand the need for check-in, but charging for a quick visit or drop-off feels excessive. If you have friends or relatives in the area who might want to swing by, this is not the place to stay. For the price, the restrictions are disappointing. On top of that, the freeway noise is constant, so it’s not exactly a peaceful stay. That said, there are positives: • The landscaping is beautiful. • The park is very clean. • Concrete parking pads are a nice touch. • Extra water hookups at the site are convenient. Overall, while it’s a clean and well-kept park with nice features, the strict rules, freeway noise, and lack of attention to tree trimming make it a poor choice for big rigs.
