Lake Castaic, Ca

Beautiful campground.  We went in the beginning of April.  There are no hook ups, so keep that in mind.  We brought our RV and had the most fantastic lake view.  It was uncrowded and very clean.  There are restrooms, showers, fishing pier, fish cleaning station and more.  You can rent boats at the upper lake.  There is tent camping as well.  In the summer it can get pretty warm, so you most definitely won't find me there at this time of year.  But hey!  Other people like the heat.  There is a swim beach (seasonal) as well.  You can fish from the shoreline near the camping also.  It is patrolled by L.A. Sheriff's and it felt pretty safe.  I'm not sure how busy it is in the summer, but I imagine it is busy.  A great area if you want to come in for a picnic too!  Will definitely return.

Ventura Ranch Koa, Santa Paula, Ca

We've camped here before several times.  We were in the Birch section and had a patio and pull thru.  Peacocks roam in the mornings and evenings.  Very kid friendly place.  We had a view of the mountains...B32.  The weather was perfect this time of year.  Didn't need a/c and only a little heat in the evening.  Lots to do for kids and very family oriented.  Hiking trails, zip line, bouncy pillow. Little store at the office.
