Great overnight place

I was visiting in Ventura and just needed a rv place for the night. There were plenty of spaces and other than my rv only 2 others. Nice and quiet along the channel. Basically a paved parking lot. Can pay cash or cc @ kiosk. It was a little difficult to find, so plug in Curlew Way..it is on this cul de sac street off Victoria Ave .

Parking lot camping

The campground is just a parking lot. But, for $40 a night it is in a great location to start your water sport take off. I used the nearby ramp to launch my SUP and paddle around the marina/s.

Straightforward RV Parking Lot

Great spot right by the harbor. No hookups, just large spaces in a designated parking area for RV's. $40/Night to park. Road is a little busy next to the parking lot but location and weather make up for the noise. Well patrolled by local law enforcement.

What is the best time of year to visit Channel Islands RV Park?

The Channel Islands RV Park is suitable for visits year-round thanks to the mild Southern California coastal climate.
