Lived here 7 mos. In that time, we realized most other campers here feel the same way we do. The…read moreMWR staff that runs and manages this facility should all be fired. The good: decent spacing between sites, close proximity to things to do and amenities. During the entire seventh month day, we witnessed total lack of maintenance, security and safety in this park. There are two bath houses-one at the office and one at the center of the camp. The one at the office is maintained much better than the one at the center of the camp, which is the one most people find closest to use. These bathrooms are constantly out of toilet paper, are filthy, and for six months the three toilet ladies room has only had one toilet working. The men's room has water flowing over the floor most of the time-total safety issue. There is zero lighting at night near the bathrooms and people have fallen, it's a wonder they haven't been sued. There is no way to see where the sidewalk ends and the street starts. Even the camp host is extremely frustrated because they report these issues to the office and nothing is done. Several campers have complained to the office, and nothing is done. There was a resident here with two huge, very aggressive dogs and many of us complained about these dogs because they would lunge at people, including children when they went by and they would bark incessantly. The office actually lied and said no one has complained when we mentioned it to them because several neighbors informed us that they too complained long before we did. Staff can be very snarky when you present complaints and concerns. Just the fact that they don't care about our safety astound us. Warning - don't even chance arriving at night after dark because you will surely scrape your rig from the lack of maintenance to the trees along the roadway. One of our neighbors has deep gouges on his unit from this. The staff travels the wrong way on the roadway constantly, but don't you dare do it as a camper. Weeds everywhere. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

We had read some previous reviews on another site that weren't so inviting. However, upon our…read morearrival we were surprised at how wrong we felt the previous reviewers were or how much it had changed. This park looked amazing when we first drove in. There are many pull-thru sites here. They sites appeared well taken care of with fresh green grass. There were two dog parks. Neither had water by the dog parks to help with clean-up nor did they have bags or a garbage can. We did use the laundry by check-in. It was FREE to campers. There were two washers. One was broken and appeared to have been broken for some time. There were four dryers and two were broken. The location here was perfect. The commissary and NEX were good sized and there were plenty of activities on and off base. Beaches were close. Maintenance staff and host were friendly and always seemed to be working on one thing or another. WI-Fi worked great. A negative -- Office staff ... not so friendly. There were two in the office at check-in and the brunette was a little curt. I wasn't in a hurry to go back there at all. It would have been nice to have received a map of the area. We thought this a nice place and would consider returning if in the area.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION May 2025:…read more I am giving this RV park four stars for now in the hopes of the current construction improves this place. It was so rundown looking with weeds, broken pavement, and bad shower facilities. Water was left to run even in water-thirsty California. The Pros of this place though is absolutely the location. Right on the beach at the front and a wonderful bird/wildlife sanctuary in the "bay" area. There are consistently migrating and local birds in abundance. There are also sea lions that you can hear and see on the shores. The temperature weather here also makes it a good spot most of the year. Beware of the May gray, June gloom, etc. There are ample facilities on base also. Mini store, gas station, a couple of restaurants. but it is a bit far from either Port Hueneme or Camarillo - the closest towns. They also have bare bones yurts. These are great. They have two bunk beds, a heater, and tables. They also have bbq grills out front. These have a view of the bay. It's pretty no frills though but could be a great adventure for the family. Cons: Absolutely a huge con are the mosquitoes. They run around unchecked and are prolific. If you see people running from their cars into stores, buildings, etc., it is because of the mosquitoes. Winters you don't see them but come summertime, they are a mess. (This past summer of 2024 we saw very few.) Bring bug spray and sit closer to a fire. Bring a large fan also as that will keep the mosquitoes from landing on you. Overall, it's a great place to stay. It may be hard to get reservations.

I can't speak to the reservation process, but I believe our group leader was able to reserve them online and we had no issues when we arrived. Lots of other families camping there with music and laughter and thankfully it got quite around 9/10.

The maintenance on the park is excellent. Not had a single incident where a palm tree branch wiped out my motorcycle, because they are meticulously maintained along with all areas. The manager here takes her role very seriously in interviewing and making the appropriate match of personalities of current tenants to new tenants. We are approximately 10 ft apart from one another, so a culture of peace can be a delicate balance. If you've interviewed and not gotten a spot, then it is for the benefit of community. When the right one comes up and it's right for you, then it's a win win for the community. It's not about you alone.. That process ensures me that my living situation can remain stable and peaceful. I appreciate this because the Avenue is not the most peaceful zone of Ventura. Lastly, I want to comment on the unique blend of people who live here. I see people of all different types here and we share. It is not uncommon to have a loaf of bread or vegetables from a neighbor's garden. When I bake I bake extra so I can share. There are retired people here and young working families. We all watch out for one another and we know when strangers enter our park. The two other reviewers here (one of whom tracked down my page about redesigning my trailer to spew vitriol there) are sharing examples of why they haven't found a fit here. We'd prefer you not find us here. I'd prefer you'd write reviews that draw negative attention. Keep the creeps at bay. I just don't think you should go around public ally assassinating the character of a hard working person. You know what they say, "You can pack your suitcases and move, but whereever you go you're still the same person."

Beautiful campground with amazing views. Nice camp host, clean campground snd nor a lot of noise…read more They have nice fire pits and charcoal grills. Most spots are huge and have large shade trees. Warning: it gets super hot here in June through summer. Like 104 degrees, but it's very cool at night and it cools off fast once the sun goes down behind the mountain. Not a bad campground at all but it does need some updating. The bathrooms aren't bad but the toilets leak some and need maintenance. I realize it's federal property and parks always get their funding cut but the toilets need to be fixed given how many people are in the campground. Otherwise the restrooms are clean and nice. There is potable water and it's easy to wash dishes and other things. Also the camp host leaves Large jugs of water out so you can put out your fires when done. They need more signage to keep the motorcycle riders from driving across the campsites. And park service should give tickets or warnings. Also, starting up motorcycles at 7am is just wrong! Luckily there wants very many but they are loud. Camp host or park service should establish rules on this that are clearer and get repeated by campsite staff. We had a great time! And the stars are amazing at night from up here.

Keep in mind that you will need to pay $10 for parking at fee areas around the national forest. Keep cash on you to avoid a citation. (They do check to see if cars have paid). Road leading to upper oso is not the best and there is a flash flood crossing that has loose rocks, low cars or thin tires can be easily damaged. Bring plenty of water and have a place to store food away from wildlife.

I had originally planned a boat ride from Ventura to Scorpion Cove with Island Packers Cruises, but…read morethe weather forecast predicted dangerous ocean waves the day of my trip, and so it was cancelled the day before. Bummer. When I went to the NPS visitor center, the ranger told me that if I wanted to see the ocean conditions myself, there was a viewing platform in the center a few floors up. Those waves looked super choppy! I was secretly glad the trip got cancelled as I tend to get motion sick... Otherwise, the rangers were very patient and helpful with all of my inquiries. It turns out that there used to be a flight service to two of the islands, but this was discontinued, and so the only way to get the the Channel Islands National Park is via boat.
