As summer takes over, most of us are itching to get outside. In Southern California, there are endless opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors, from hiking to road trips to beach days, and so much more. For my family, as with many others, summer means camping. If that sounds like you, this activity-filled resort campground in Santa Paula, California, will go directly on your must-do list.
Ventura Ranch KOA Holiday is nestled along a flowing creek at the foot of Ventura County’s highest mountain, Topa Topa. Whether your idea of camping means lots of activity or doing nothing, or a little bit of both, this is the place.
This 76-acre campground is a spectacular family destination full of amazing views, unique amenities, and exciting adventures for campers of all ages.
In addition to beautiful tent and RV sites, Ventura KOA has many other ways to stay, including teepee tents, Conestoga wagons, glamour/safari Tents, and well-appointed cabins.
Hang out, go for a swim, get a little sun, or doze in the shade at the resort-style swimming pool surrounded by green trees.
Kids ages 16 and under can live out their most outrageous “jumping on the bed” dreams on the giant jumping pillow, that is, when they are not scrambling around the playground. And that is just the beginning.
Campers of all ages can also join in a variety of arts and crafts, including tie-dying your own T-shirt or experience the fun of old-fashioned gem mining, using a screen to find semi-precious stones, fossils, and arrowheads in a traditional water sluice.
The exciting Soar Over Ventura Adventure rope/obstacle course, Eagles Nest Zip Line, and rock climbing tower will feed (or bring out!) your adventurous side.
The secluded Ventura Ranch KOA World Labyrinth is a perfect spots to wander, relax, reflect, and commune with nature. Of course, you can also wander along the creek for even more nature therapy.
At Ventura Ranch KOA, the tables turn a bit and nature has a way of communing with you. Peacocks live and wander freely on the property, so do not be surprised to see them at the table waiting for lunch or hanging out at the door of your safari tent.
What would a long day of camping adventures be without making ooey-gooey S’mores around a warm fire under the stars? This is camping at its absolute best.
This campground is an epic place for campers of every age to stay, play, and adventure. Have you ever stayed at this campground in Santa Paula? We would love to know what you thought about it!
