Park Ranger cks for valid stays by verifying reservations but for those people that need a lesson on keeping your dogs leashed !! More posts needed!! Please - whether friendly or not, your dog will wonder & it could be a bad ending. Overall - even with morning fog, the ocean wave sounds are so relaxing & tranquil. Beaches are wonderful to walk and although many boulders- there was plenty of inlets to climb down with sandbags to help make your steps safe even for elderly dogs. Another great trip in the books! Thank you Ventura.

Know that there is no "easy" access to the beach, just rock climb over boulders or walk to nearby Faria Beach Campground. But most of all, get ready to experience a beautiful view of the sunset.

Camp site was fine. Older caucasian guy with the blue eyes who worked there was called to our site…read morebecause 2 racist women who were camping next to us felt the need to call them every chance they got to complain about something. He came up and started literally tweaking like a weirdo and yelled at my brother so loud and unnecessarily. So loud. I'm talking up close. In his face. LOUD. So disgusting. I found it to be egregious behavior on his behalf. I would have rather he'd called the cops instead of talking to us like a bunch of toddlers and threatening to kick us out. I know when groups of people are being unnecessarily loud and we were nowhere near that. We kept making sure to keep the noise down. We understand common sense. And we can read the notes posted damn near everywhere about the 10 pm ordinance. Once the ranger finished his tantrum and we all went quiet we could still hear every other campsite around us still playing music and laughing and enjoying their time. AT THE SAME NOISE LEVEL WE WERE. It pissed me off. Why were we the only ones singled out? And spoken to like that? Not okay. And honestly he's very lucky he caught my brother on a good day because that kind of blatant disrespect is not how we role. Period. The kids were nauseated after he came at the group like that. So so very upsetting. He should be fired or at least coached on how the fff to speak to grown adults who pay just as much money as everyone else to be there. There are ways of getting your point across without having to speak to people like you lost your rabbit mind. That guy should be fired immediately on principle alone. And you should 100% refund the money wasted at los prietos campgrounds. Never again. And I will be telling everyone who was there to write a negative review until something is done.

We loved it here! We'll be back- restrooms were well kept up! Looking forward to our next trip:)read more

Visited Paradise Campground with my family from Aug 9th to the 11th 2024. We reserved the group…read moresite #1 which allows 16 people and is pet friendly. That site is pretty big and has parking for 4 vehicles, It has two tables and two bbqs and a fire pit but no electricity. The water spigot is very close by and the ground is pretty flat except there was lots of gofers and small holes as well as lots of tiny flies and yellow jackets (bees) Camp host was very nice and informative, they have firewood for sale on site. No showers but very very clean restrooms. For swimming reference..there was water at White Rock day use but not as high (about knee high) as well as at First Crossing day use area which is where we went for the day, water level went up to our chest and well above 5ft. Area was fairly clean and accessible. Parking fee is $10 per vehicle at First Crossing and they accept credit cards and the walk from parking area down to where the swimming area was very easy and accessible. Road to Red Rock area was closed due to water level and they couldn't tell us when it will open. Cell phone service is not that great..seems ATT is the only carrier with pretty good reception coverage out there. All others were not great. The campground is fairly quiet and clean and secure. Nearest store is about 25 mins away outside of campground and up the mountain in to town. There was a meteor shower during our time there so we were able to enjoy seeing the Milky Way in its glory as well as many shooting stars. Over all a great time and we highly recommend this campground.

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.

Campfire wood for sale and a small bbq grill in the site. Despite some photos, it is not near the water, but a short drive to the Santa Ynez River. It's not one of the top places I've stayed, but perfect for a last minute weekend away. We hiked along the river, visited the Chumash Painted Cave State Historic Park and enjoyed danishes in Solvang.

Unless the parties, kids, and drunks are members of your group, anyway. This was the first time I've had a quiet night camping on Paradise Road unless it was during the winter with nobody else around. Wonderful! Our camp host was awesome, the restrooms were kept clean and fully stocked, and it was a great experience all the way around. Normally you have to cross over a stream to get to the campground, but at the moment it is bone dry. When there's enough water the stream is a great place for your kids to play.

The park is very clean and well-kept and the people we talked to, as well as the manager, were extremely helpful and nice.

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."
