Ventura Ranch KOA Holiday in Santa Paula, CA

There's trash everywhere. There's socks, shirts, random shoes spread all over the park. Same with trash, the and trash cans next to the kids play area is so over flowing that it's all over the place. They advertise that the office stays open till 7:00, that's not true. It's six. We weren't told till we got here that everything is closed. All the activities are closed during the week. The pool, is so dirty. It looks like there's dirt going up the sides of the pool. It won't let me post pictures of all the trash. I've got 10.

I have never written a five star review especially for a campground but this place deserves it! So much to do there, close to the beach and anytime we had an issue the staff was so sweet and attentive. It is also very clean! We will definitely be back!!!

Pool is not heated, no slide on playground (opening is covered by a piece of plywood), our trailer got infested with ants after being there two days, staff drive way to fast in their golf carts, rock climbing wall out of order, no hot tub. Campgrounds needs work. Didn’t feel like we got to enjoy it because of how many amenities are not working properly.

It's a very good family campsite, but compared to other KoAs in the city, the management here is indeed not as good as other areas. Although the swimming pool is not muddy, there are many fallen leaves and branches floating. We lived in a cabin and the toilet was very clean. We did not use the public toilet, so I don't know about the dirty problem mentioned by others. The peacock's call did not affect me much. The barbecue grill in the camp was not cleaned up by the charcoal ash left by others. There were also several burnt barbecue nets around the door that were not cleaned up. However, the camp is good in terms of entertainment facilities. Both big and small children can have a lot of fun.

The kind way to describe this place is rustic! However you could also call it a dump. Lots of kids activities so attractive to young families that don't mind the state of disrepair. We saw multiple sites with multiple families with multiple vehicles staying in one site to share costs. Apparently the don't enforce the occupancy rules that are posted.  We were in the Alder group of sites. Our site consisted of a very distressed asphalt pad and dried grass. There were signs of a sprinkler system that had long been abandoned so dead grass and dirt. Our site was so out of level that our trailer tongue was almost on the ground in order to level our trailer. The first morning we woke up to find our trailer infested with ants. We camp a bit and have been to many sites and never have we had an issue like this with the constant infestation in our unit. Peacocks are lovely to look at but my goodness they screech all day and all night. Apparently staff has not informed them of the 10:00PM quiet hours. The restrooms and showers were a joke. We stayed 5 days and I don't think they were cleaned the entire time. The showers are pod style and individual and not located inside the actual restrooms. Be careful not to select one with the push button timed shower or you'll be getting a very frustrating experience. The sinks inside the restrooms are the same push button style that you have to constantly push just to wash your hands. Most parks have adults that typically live on site and take pride in the parks appearance and condition. Here they hire kids, older teenagers to perform many tasks that are just not appropriate for their age.

For 2 stars are only for employees.
Manager is great^^
(even i can give 5stars for employees.)
So nice customer service.

BUT….
the worst thing is for us that too many peacocks are everywhere and they are extremely loud all the times even at night & in the early morning.
Restroom is dirty but no bad smell.
cleaning hours is btw 11-2pm but they don’t clean.
Jumping pillow air is too low.
Hard to jump for 9years old.
Rock climbing is out of order.
one if shower room at swimming pool is out of order.
Not enough shower rooms than other KOA.
No jacuzzi,swimming is cold on July.
Good place to camping but i think i won’t be back coz of peacocks,no jacuzzi and no sewer.
they really need some renovations or fix.
Many kids of activity for child is out of order.
Sandiego KOA is better for my family with kid.

Love this place. Nice weather even at the end of June. Peacocks are cool but loud, bring some earplugs if you plan to sleep past 5am. Showers were nice. The rock wall was down. Zip line is for 8 years old and 80lbs. Creek was super fun, got to see fish and tadpoles! Great campground for bikes.

Great weekend getaway in mountains of Ventura County near Ojai. Large full hookup sites with shade trees. Know for Peacocks throughout the campground

Nice location and great activities for the kids. The river, jump pad, bmx track, labyrinth, etc. As an RV park, it is not big rig friendly. Better suited to vans and class C campers. Better yet, tent camp here. Also, there are loads of peacocks and they are LOUD!

Great place to take kids. Zip lines, pool, climbing rock, maze.  Lots of local hiking.  Downside is the peacock noise, and poop.  The birds are pretty, but they are very loud and start early in the morning.  However, that is a minor nuisance compared with the   beauty and optional things to do at this KOA.

It is a bit off the beaten path, and the drive in seems like you will end up on a dead end road, but it is dark and quiet at night.

The new management is very pleasant and they lots of fun things to do there, great scenery and Love the Peacocks running wild.

We enjoyed the peacocks all around and the full hook up spaces were great.
