Kenney Grove Park

First, I imagine this place was so cool in the 80’s. You can see the bones that it was built around. It’s just a touch run down. That said, the bathrooms were really clean. The showers were quarter showers, but seemed fine. For December it was pretty quiet. The spaces are different, some shade some not. I wouldn’t suggest for really large campers. But for a van, we had power, water, bathrooms and off season prices.

This county park campground is packed full on the weekend. Many big rigs are shoehorned in, making me feel kinda cramped. There are many trees and plantings, so it’s not a parking lot. No sewer, and $15 dump station is in town, 2 or 3 miles It felt like everyone here knew each other, and we were intruding on their party.

A beautiful park that feels out in the woods but is less than five minutes away the center of town. Staff was amazingly helpful. Clean, quiet with a nice Mountain View.

We Stayed here while doing some contract work in the area January- April 2021. Some of the sites are a a lil different with their arrangements. Smaller sites with only 30amp services. Some have full hookups.... most dont. an no dump station in the park.

The campsites are cramped on one another with very little space for privacy,even though our site is fairly big in comparison to some others nearby. Old school restrooms. You don’t really get the value for your money (we paid $48 for a night,that includes $8 reservation fee and a $2 dog fee). Not much to do in the park itself unless you have kids and can bring them to the day-use kids park nearby.

I stayed at Kenney Grove Park on my way from Vegas to Santa Barbara, and again on my way back. I believe it was $23 for a dry camping spot, plus another $2/night for having my dog along. It was a lovely, quiet park that I was surprised to find tucked away in Fillmore. On the Saturday night that I stayed, it was lively with BBQers and families, but quiet by 10. Shower houses were lovely for a vanlifer like me; bring your quarters as they are coin operated. Nice clean bathrooms with running water. Water spigots, picnic tables, and firepit at each site. Cute little grassy park with swings. Also- gorgeous orange groves and rose bushes decorating the road into the park. As a Midwesterner, I was in awe of that! Loved walking my pup along that road.

Ok, so first off driving into this place feels a little "Texas Chainsaw" but don't worry, its fine. When I saw regional park I was expecting something way bigger however this is about the size of a small city park that turned its parking lot into a campground. None the less, we had a very pleasant stay. It was nice and quite despite it being Fourth of July weekend and we even had a few friendly bats fly around us. The playground was a bunch of old metal pieces that looked like you would surely break a leg so naturally my 2 and 4 year old LOVED it. LOL. Its in a great location with close drive to Ventura and Pismo beaches. Would definitely stay here again for a quick getaway.

Oh and note, the full hook up sites are for Model A's (stayed at 56). So hook ups are on the opposite side and really close to the "entrance" so we couldnt back in, we had to parking our towing vehicle in the general parking area. We had our small travel trailer and thank God we had a 40 ft sewer hose.

Overall Clean campground. Well kept restrooms and showers. Park with playground and softball area was a plus. Just wish some of the rv spots were bigger. We stayed on the site #20 which was a good, Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

This campsite feels like it’s right in the midst of a neighborhood. It’s tucked away from the street and you almost wouldn’t know it’s there! Loved this small and well kept campsite.

Some of the sites are very small. We picked a site towards the back (which actually once you drive through is closest to the main street but no street noise whatsoever)

Our area was a bit more spread out than the central area which was louder and felt more crowded as we walked through.

There’s a nice park, but small, for the little campers.

Each site had a fire pit and a picnic table. There were restroom facilities that were all clean and well-kept.

T-Mobile cell service worked well here.

We would definitely return to this location.

The rangers here really go above and beyond to help out at this campground that is set out in the middle of miles of Citrus groves! It’s one of those rare places where the light pollution is truly minimal and you can really see the stars at night. A great place to see meteor showers or simply just get away from the bustle of stuff for a while. New Hosts just moved in and they are both super nice! Do try to put this place on your list of really affordable places to stay.

I really liked this place, and would definitely go back. This is on the smaller scale of campgrounds, which is very nice. Less chance of drunk, noisy neighbors. When we went, us, and the other family we went with, were the only ones in that particular section. The kids had plenty of room to run around and get dirty, and there was a playground with an old school merry-go-round within sight of where our spot was. RV’s are allowed as well, but those sites are separate from the tent sites, which is nice too. The drive was 45 minutes to an hour from our house, which was great. You don’t have to go far to go camping. The one drawback was the camp host. We always bring our dog with us, who is a diabetic alert service dog for our two boys. This particular person kept telling us that the dog had to be on a leash, and that he was not allowed in the playground area. We explained to her that he was a service animal, and is allowed under the ADA to go anywhere. She wasn’t having it. Hopefully this person’s time as the host is over, because this really is a great spot.
