As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

If you want to connect with nature but don’t want to rough it in a tent, try a covered wagon instead. More “glamping” than camping, a covered wagon stay is an experience in itself. Ventura Ranch KOA Holiday in Santa Paula offers a variety of accommodations including tent and RV sites, cabins, teepees, safari tents, and Conestoga wagons. There’s nothing quite like this campground and there’s certainly nothing quite like spending the night in a wagon.

Ventura Ranch KOA Holiday is a one-of-a-kind Southern California campground. Located in Santa Paula in the foothills of Topa Topa mountains, this 76-acre destination offers something for everyone.
