Why RVers stay here
Ventura Beach RV Resort is a private, full-service RV park in Ventura on the Southern California coast, and it is the option in our Southern California guide for travelers who want concrete pads and full hookups rather than a rustic beach campground. It sits a few blocks from the sand in a residential neighbourhood, so it is close to the beach without being on the water. Big rigs are the natural fit here: our guide notes sites that take rigs up to 60 feet, plus a pool, hot tub, laundry and a general store on the property.
The practical picture is 144 sites with full hookups, and rates that move with the season, roughly $100 to $135 a night in peak months and about $75 to $100 off-season. Booking is direct with the park, and for summer and holiday weekends we would reserve two to three months ahead. It is also the sensible base for the Island Packers ferry to Channel Islands National Park out of Ventura Harbor. The trade-off is setting: you are paying resort rates for a comfortable park in a neighbourhood, not for oceanfront sites, so beach purists should compare the state beach campgrounds nearby.
