The sites were ok, but the road running through the campground promoted everyone cutting through site if you are roadside. Very few full hookup sites, so using the showers is not really avoidable. The showers were horrible, almost no flow at all. Had to remove the shower head and use the straight pipe flow. The location is focused on the zip lines and kids activities. Much better to just come use the zip lines and not stay. The location at the nearby stream was the only saving grace.

The campsite we stayed at, Spot 33, was decent. However, the only place to access water nearby was close to the restroom. The shower facilities didn’t have hot water, and to use a shower with warm water, we had to drive up the hill. The shower area was also poorly maintained and full of dead bugs. Around the campground, there were multiple piles of trash with nails sticking out, which looked like leftover construction debris. There was also no proper sink for washing dishes. When we asked at the office, we were told to use a faucet next to the campground restroom. That area was very dirty and filled with leftover food scraps from other campers, which was extremely disappointing. Overall, it was a very disappointing visit.

Upon arrival we discovered that our teepee was covered in black mold and smelled horrible. This was not a small amount of black mold it was literally everywhere. We were traveling with our children, one with asthma which would have been aggravated by the black mold. When we returned to the main office to alert them of the problem, we were ignored while one attendant leisurely restocked the candy and the other booked another guest on the phone. We waited, along with another guest, received no greeting and again no urgency. They changed the teepee to a different one without argument, but also no apology or concern. The new teepee was clean of mold, but hadn't been cleaned by housekeeping. Garbage and dirt on the floor, puddle of water at the entrance. The pool area and bathrooms were dirty. No hot water in the shower, other showers out of order and bathroom in general disrepair. Despite these problems, it's still a great spot-perfect for families with so much to keep kids entertained. I expect better from KOA. This location has so much potential!

Great place to go if you like the outdoors. Lots of ways to camp here. Teepees, cabins, RV sites. Playground area for the younger kids and zip line for the older kids. Beautiful stream running alongside the property. Brent & Kathy were our contacts at Ventura Ranch. Couldn't ask for nicer people. Highly recommended!👍

My wife and I were in space #5 and the site its self was nice. However the majority of of our stay we felt we were camping inside an Andy Gump. The sewage smell was so strong and prevalent the entire time of our stay, that we put our fire out and went into our RV EVERY NIGHT. TOO BAD, THE AREA ITSELF IS NICE, but will NOT BE BACK. The staff was very nice.
