Best Cabin Camping near Santa Paula, CA

Cabin accommodations near Santa Paula include furnished options at Ventura Ranch KOA, where visitors can choose between teepee tents and wagon coaches with beds. These units offer varying levels of comfort, with some including queen beds, lamps, fans, heaters, mini-fridges, and microwaves. The KOA cabins provide electricity and comfortable sleeping arrangements. ["From zipline obstacle courses to tie dye classes, this KOA easily occupies kids and has teepee and cabin rentals available for glampers, but nice showers, clean bathrooms and a roomy pool area really make this campground 5 stars."] Ventura Beach RV Resort also offers cabin rentals with access to full resort amenities including showers, restrooms, and laundry facilities. Camp Comfort Park provides cabin options in a more serene setting with creek views and shade from oak trees.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. The Tiny Tiki Retro Hideaway offers a unique single-cabin experience with drinking water, picnic tables, showers, and toilets. Similarly, the Tiny House Under the Oak Tree provides a private cabin rental with electricity and basic amenities. According to one visitor, "We stayed the 1st in a large teepee. It had beds for a total of six people. It was hot in the daytime, and got really cold at night, so we switched to a Glamping tent." Most cabin rentals require advance reservations, especially during summer months when facilities like pools are open. Pet policies vary by location, with Ventura Ranch KOA and Valencia Travel Village allowing pets in their cabin areas.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely between properties, with some offering only basic amenities while others include refrigerators and microwaves. Point Mugu Recreation Facility cabins are located in a secluded area and provide more privacy than other accommodation types. A recent review noted that "The Glamping tent was nice! It had a very comfortable queen bed, 2 lamps, a fan, a heater, a mini fridge and a microwave." Firewood is available for purchase at most locations, and several campgrounds have on-site stores for basic provisions. Visitors staying at cabins near Santa Paula have access to nearby towns for additional supplies, though stocking up before arrival is recommended.

    Ventura Ranch KOA

    Fun times at this KOA

    This KOA is nestled in the hills of Santa Paula. The KOA is consistent with its name, meaning the kids amenities are all there, trampoline pillow, nice walking trails, walking labyrinth, and of course the adventure course and zip lines which are great activities for all ages. This place also has teepee tents to stay in and wagon coaches with beds to also rent and stay in. Recommend those two things in the summer months. The pool is a nice size too, plenty of room. We went during January and there was also a rushing River that you can get to by a 30yard hike, great for a dip or letting the dogs play. The only downside is that you pay KOA rates and most of there sites are only water and power. They have about 10 sites that have sewer hookups too, and for all the others they have a dump station when you leave. Some trees may be low, be aware pulling through and parking in sites. There are peacocks that roam the campsites freely, they are loud and not scared. Overall we had fun and good weather.

    Ventura Ranch KOA

    Large full service site with lots of space on the bank of the Santa Paula creek.

    Checked in the day after Thanksgiving without reservations. Staff was kind, helpful and available. Stayed in space #2. Right at the entrance. Sewer, water, 30&50amp, picnic table and fire ring included. House bathrooms available. And alot of family activity amenities. However all amenities were closed unbeknownst to us until after set up.

    Ventura Ranch KOA

    Fun place for young kids!

    We recently stayed here, for the 1st time, last week. We decided to leave the travel trailer at home, and change it up! We stayed the 1st in a large teepee. It had beds for a total of six people. It was hot in the daytime, and got really cold at night, so we switched to a Glamping tent. The Glamping tent was nice! It had a very confortable queen bed, 2 lamps, a fan, a heater, a mini fridge and a microwave. It also had a futon type couch that made into a bed. Loved the Glamping tent.

    Only downfall was, that the place does not enforce it quiet time rules. 10pm to 8 am. Late night loud groups, carrying on until 2 in the morning, loud obnoxious kids screaming at 6:15 in the morning...😩they have many beautiful Peafowl, and they can be loud too, but I only heard them once. The place has very nice tiled showers, with good water pressure, clean bathrooms, a big beautiful pool, but it was closed for the season.

    There are fire pits throughout the 76 acre park, it was nice having a campfire, since so many places don’t allow them anymore...they have a very large jumping pillow for kiddos, my 6 year had a blast playing on it. They also have a zip line, but it was damaged in the large fire last year, and is being fixed currently. There is a stream that runs thru the property, it was fun to explore. They have a rock climbing wall, that is brought out on holiday weekends.

    Lots of fun activities for kids, like crafts, making your own rocket to launch, etc. It is not the place to come, if you want a quiet, mellow place to read a book! It is busy, and loud. They do not have any laundry facilities, nor do they have a little store. The prices on everything are going up 10% on everything, next year. This means that most campsites with full hook-ups with be $ 71 a night, ( not bad ) but the large teepees will cost about $ 200 a night, and the Glamping tents, about $ 180 a night.

    You can buy a KOA discount card, for just $ 30 bucks, and it gets you 10% off, each stay for a year. Valid at all KOAs in America, and some in Australia! We had a good time, and plan to go back in the summer next year. Hopefully, with our travel trailer, it will be less loud 😉

    Camp Comfort Park

    Great Stay!

    At first, we thought it was a tad pricey but after you realize what all you’re paying for ya wonderful!

    We had an RV, two cars. and a tent and they allowed us to use one spot, for $30 a night! Which is pretty rare!

    SUPER fast wifi(if that’s your thing, we were here for a little under two weeks, so it was nice!), electric hookups, picnic table and fire pit! AMAZING bathrooms and coin showers as well as coin laundry!

    The ADORABLE town of Ojai is a quick 5 min drive up the road with anything you could ever want! The camp host is an amazing older guy, who’s incredibly friendly and takes pride in this campground!

    They lock the gates at night (you can still get in and out!) so you feel safe, they allow pets, and even though it’s buy a road you don’t hear any noise at night!

    Perk (or maybe not a perk if you’re not into it), it’s one of the most haunted campgrounds in the US!

    Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon

    A "resort"? No. A campground? Yes.

    Very large park for RV, cabin and tent camping. As it's listed as a "resort", we figured it would be pretty upscale. Disappointment upon our arrival. Floods have been in the area and much of the sites were closed and being cleaned?? The road closest to our site was washed away (from earlier reviews it's been months), so a long jog or drive around the perimeter to get us to the pool, laundry and hot tub…speaking of which, the pool, hot tub and laundry facilities all needed attention. You could actually see people's footprints (bottom of pool and on pool and hot tub entry steps)…that much sand, dirt, etc…I didn't venture in. When we arrived, we started driving around to find the best site for our rig. We're a 32ft class A w/20ft enclosed cargo trailer tow. So, all in all about 55ft. Well, that wasn't easy. Most of the park's electric and some sewer connections didn't exist or were "down" for repair. We have yet to actually SEE someone working on these issues. We are currently here and checked in for a two-week stay. After some boon docking prior to our arrival, we wanted all the bells and whistles the park boasted they had. Took us just over THREE HOURS to find a decent spot. Many levels to this park and most didn't have a decent WiFi (we have our own router) signal. Some sites had dumpsters blocking them from being a true "pull-thru". That left us with about two areas to choose from. It's dusty, dirty, and, really, not ready to be called a "resort"….more rustic than we'd been looking for or what website photos showed. We would not recommend this "resort" to anyone. Several folks with dogs they let simply sit outside and bark, poo, etc….strict rules against that, in most all resorts we've ever visited. Unless you plan on tenting, cabin or what have you, it's not worth it. Very disappointing! :(

    Ventura Beach RV Resort

    Ocean view!

    Beautiful place. Pool, hot tub, laundry, people friendly, picnic tables, fire rings and green grass every paved site. Buttt...266.00 2 nights! Sprinklers go on at midnight and spray all over the RV 2025 just had detailed and arrived late so we had things on the picnic table. Have to wear wristbands. Hwy loud. And understandable that the beaches are gone from past storms flooding and fires. Overall it's a Beautiful place if you have money to throw away but have a safe locked down clean Beautifully maintained Park. You can't even use the grass next to the site lol We will be back hoping my hometown beaches will be getting back to pretty again. And blessed we have the money.

    Ventura Ranch KOA

    Testing out the kit for the first time, so I’m going KOA for a few days in the tent…

    Well-run place. Very nice shop staffed with knowledgeable people. Very clean and well-manicured grounds. Great for families. Safe. Minimal noise. Feels far from everything, but is only a short drive from LA/SFV. The adjacent town of Santa Paula is a great place to spend time. They’ve got a proper classic downtown with loads of shops and restaurants. Overall, this entire valley is good for the soul. Fertile and green. A hidden gem for sure. I’m the only one tenting here, so it’s been very quiet.


Guide to Santa Paula

Cabin camping near Santa Paula, California provides overnight accommodations in diverse settings ranging from creek-side locations to mountain retreats. The region sits at the base of the Topatopa Mountains with elevations ranging from 300 to 6,000 feet, creating distinct microclimates that affect camping conditions. Summer temperatures often reach 90°F during the day while dropping to the 50s at night, especially at higher elevation cabin sites.

What to do

Explore creek areas: At Camp Comfort Park, visitors can enjoy a creek running through the property. "The creek running through was full of frogs & small fish. Many different birds are found here. We saw lots of red-headed woodpeckers as well as herons and smaller birds," notes camper Larry M.

Visit historic sites: Near Reyes Creek Campground, you'll find photographic opportunities at nearby abandoned structures. "The abandoned town is a 3 minute walk from camp and really interesting. Some camp spots are right on the creek and the running water is a peaceful background noise for your trip," mentions Chelsea B.

Wildlife viewing: Point Mugu Recreation Facility offers opportunities to see marine wildlife. "We watch seals, ducks and more swimming around the beach. We practically had it all to ourselves," says Danielle P., highlighting the less-crowded nature of this military facility beach.

What campers like

Private woodland settings: The secluded nature of many cabin areas provides a sense of isolation despite proximity to towns. "This campground is in a pretty canyon with beautiful trees. The staff is super friendly," reports Belinda C. about Ventura Ranch KOA.

Laundry facilities: Several cabin locations offer laundry options for extended stays. "We stayed all the way in the back of the campground and it was nice and quiet! They have a nice size laundry room that stays clean," mentions Ashley S. about Valencia Travel Village.

Pet-friendly options: While policies vary, some cabins welcome pets. "I took my two dogs and they loved it. My family stayed at one of the RV sites and had a great time too. Peacocks live there! They roost in the trees and just mingle with the campers without a care in the world," shares Jessica R. about her KOA experience.

What you should know

Seasonal temperature fluctuations: Be prepared for significant day-to-night temperature shifts. "The temperature varies greatly from day to night (90's to 50's when I was there) and there are bugs a plenty, so bring repellant," advises John Y. about Reyes Creek.

Wildlife encounters: Many cabins are located in areas with local wildlife that may visit your site. "Many peacock's roam around the premises and they can be very intrusive!" warns Khaled A. about Ventura Ranch KOA.

Bathroom facilities vary widely: Reyes Creek Campground offers more rustic facilities. "The pit toilets are definitely of the smellier side, but clean nevertheless," notes Viktoria B., an important consideration for those selecting cabin accommodations without private bathrooms.

Tips for camping with families

Activity planning: Some sites offer structured activities for children. "From zipline obstacle courses to tie dye classes, this KOA easily occupies kids... nice showers, clean bathrooms and a roomy pool area really make this campground 5 stars," writes Manya about Ventura Ranch KOA.

Water features: Creeks provide natural play areas for children. "We went in June 2020 and it was hot. But there is a fun stream you can hike by and it did the trick. Nice and relaxing off the beaten path," shares Jennifer S. about her family's time at Reyes Creek.

Playground access: Many cabin locations feature playground equipment. "The adjacent park is full of beautiful trees and lush. There are bike trails going all over Ojai and all the way to Ventura," observes Susanne S. about Camp Comfort Park and its neighboring recreational area.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: If using an RV at a cabin-offering location, research the specific site configuration. "This is a weird 'pull in' site, which in all the traveling we've done, we've never stayed in one before. So you pull in forward (not back in), because all your hookups are to the left of the site, on the driver's side," explains Laura M. about Camp Comfort Park.

Noise considerations: Be aware of potential noise issues at certain locations. "It is close to the 101 freeway, you can hear the traffic, but that didn't bother us. Just be aware, it's not a super quiet place," shares Rob L. about his experience at Ventura Beach RV Resort.

Leveling challenges: Some sites may require equipment to level your RV. "Our lot was secluded, private and close to the entrance/exit. The only thing was the unlevel ground we were on. Our RV was a simple 30' rental without any leveling," reports Khaled A. about his stay at Ventura Ranch KOA.
