Ventura Ranch KOA, located in the hills above Santa Paula, offers a spacious and scenic campground where dogs and their people can unwind in nature. Spread across 76 acres at the edge of the Topa Topa Mountains, this KOA features RV and tent sites along with a limited number of pet-friendly cabins and teepees. The grounds include citrus groves, mature oaks, and a creek that add to the calm, open atmosphere—perfect for exploring with your pup.
Travelers with dogs will find Ventura Ranch KOA accommodating, with clear pet policies designed to keep everyone comfortable. Dogs are welcome at RV and tent sites, and allowed in designated cabins and one teepee. There’s a nightly fee and a refundable deposit for cabin stays. Pets must be on leash at all times and under control—this is a wildlife-rich area, and the rules are enforced to protect both animals and guests.
Amenities include a seasonal pool, zipline, climbing wall, and hiking trails—though not all are open to dogs, so check ahead. The best moments here tend to be the quiet ones: walking the creekside paths in the morning or watching the stars beside your camper. If you’re exploring the Ventura area with your dog, this KOA is a peaceful base with space to breathe and room to roam.
