Ventura Beach RV Resort

After driving in from Texas and staying in several below-average parks, it was nice to find a park that was clean and with a lot of amenities.

The staff was friendly and close to shopping and dining.

As I said, a little expensive, but it’s probably one of the cleanest places I’ve ever stayed. It helps when the staff is friendly and the park is clean.

This was the highest price campsite I have ever stayed at. When I made the reservation the only spaces available were premier sites or non hookup spaces. I chose to go with the Premier side and my aunt and uncle also booked a site. Immediately upon checking I was handed response and told that we had to wear them or we could be fine $30.
I drove to my site which was actually right at the entrance of the park. We were directly across from the kiosk where and employee would greet everybody coming and going. There was no peace or privacy. We had planned on hosting dinner but quickly decided to eat out and not at the campsite. The constant flow of vehicles, gas fumes and noise would’ve made it impossible to actually enjoy ourselves.
On Friday night they played a movie. I think that’s a great idea and fun for many people. It was next to the building where you check in and the store. The volume was so loud I could hear the movie five campsites down.I went to my aunt and uncles campsite which was three spaces away. We sat outside and had to talk so loudly to each other in order to compete with the movie sound.
There was a parking lot light on my campsite at nine. It stayed on all night and Illuminated the entire trailer and grass area. Again I was unable to enjoy sitting outside. It was so bright and I felt like I was on stage ready to perform a song.

I requested one of their "best sites" after teaching virtually for over a year... we needed a great vacation. The gal said they were getting 6 new premiere sites... not even on the map yet. I said pick the one you think is the best... needless to say, we were all the way in the back, and yes, there was a concrete slab, but we had to make our way thru the muddy, nasty grass to get to the slab... not trash or bathrooms in this area. Paying $180.00 for this new "premiere site" was INSANE. we left our site today, at 5pm to go visit friends close by (because of all the fees they wanted to charge us for our friends to come in to visit) and when we got back at 10pm (quiet hours are 10pm_8am) there were vehicles parked all in front of our site, a large group drinking, being loud, kids running around screaming, and we had to wait a good 20 minutes for someone to move their car out of our area. How were they ALL allowed to bring their cars in and park? Where was every person's wristband in that large group... that we had to have to get back in to our site? Forget the fact that they had a dog that kept barking. It is 11 30pm and they are still outside drinking and making noise. These sites should not be called premium or premiere. I feel cheated, and robbed of a nice, fun, relaxing vacation... and yes, I called security twice... they tried, but nobody wants to piss anyone off. My special needs son has been trying to get to sleep, but cannot with the noise... I feel like I was robbed and there is nothing I can do about it. I am going to see if they can move us tomorrow... but I doubt they really care, especially since I will never be back. Should have stayed at Pismo! STAY AWAY... SAVE YOURSELF FROM DISAPPOINTMENT AND WASTING YOIR MONEY.

If loud music, tons of kids and cramped spaces are your thing, this is the place for you. We don’t typically stay at these sort of theme-park like RV parks, but had to book here as a last resort. So, we kind of knew what we were in for. Yet we were still surprised to find that it was impossible to back into our space without asking our neighbors to move their vehicle and for the resort to open a gate. Even then it was a tight squeeze.

Also surprising to learn that we had to share a power pedestal with one of our neighbors. And if one of you doesn’t have an adapter for 50amp then you’ve got to rent one from the resort for $50. This is not something they alerted me to when making the reservation.

Only positive is the park’s proximity to downtown Ventura and the beach.

Typically high-end camping resort. During our stay, some amenities were not included due to Covid. However, we still had to pay full the price! Not a big deal, but you would hope for $100+ a night that you would get some nice perks! We were not able to use the "included" wifi as we were "too far from the clubhouse."

Park is well maintained and has nice scenery. Downfall, freeway noise, and the spots have limited to no privacy. Bring a wifi booster and stay near the clubhouse if you rely on wifi.

Park makes you wear a wrist band whenever you are outside of your campsite. There is also security that sits at the front gate. I appreciated the sense of security, but I did get annoying as they stopped us every time we pulled in.

Would I stay again? Well if there weren't any other options, I would consider it. A premium price point should come with premium amenities, the only amenity that we were able to take advantage of was the proximity to Ventura.

It's loud (constant drone of road noise from the 101), cramped (tiny space between sites), dirty (litter outside and mildew smell / constantly wet and unheated bathhouse), not well maintained (broken shower door locks, burned out street/park lighting and broken lights in bathhouse, drifting sewer smells throughout park), not relaxing (families / children / 420 parties Thursday-Sunday), lacks basic resort amenities (no cable, wifi nonfunctional -- you can connect, but can't surf the web -- and COVID has closed everything else it advertises (pool, rec room - but rates haven't gone down)). No cable is a big problem if you don't bring satellite TV because digital TV antennas are worthless due to local mountains blocking TV towers. With no cable or wifi, you're stuck using cell phone/hotspots (your data$). And the cherry on top: it pushes politics (visit the camp store if you want to buy any Trump knickknack you can imagine -- foolish business practice pushing polarizing politics IMHO). If that sounds like your kind of resort, this is your place. The park owes it's jam-packed booking status to local demand outpacing supply. There are few open RV parks in the area -- fewer that offer monthly rentals. The one bright and shining plus to the place is the woman who books monthly rentals. She's easy to get a hold of by phone and sincerely tries to help people despite the park's faults. We planned to stay longer, but the price wasn't worth it ($1475 a month -- $1050 for the month low season, $70 electricity, $25 pet, plus taxes -- and no discounts for any clubs or military status). Also, it's not gate, but has check-in security that greets all incoming vehicles. I read other reviews about theft on property, but we didn't experience anything negative in that regard (thankfully). It's a park that benefits from high demand due to COVID and its proximity to the beach. But, words have meaning. This is not a resort.

Excellent beach resort! We really enjoyed ourselves. Great full hook up spots paved and grass selection. Very clean resort with a short walk to the beach and a short bike ride to the pier with a very well kept bike path! Fire pits, pet friendly all gate men were very nice. Great family get away resort well worth the price for all the close activities. Downtown is also just a bike ride away. Don’t forget to check out Tony’s pizza as well really great nearby pizza place with a tiki outdoor eating that is so awesome and family fun. We will definitely be back! They even have a store on site for any needs so you don’t have to leave the park if you don’t want.
