When I arrived, I was just in awe of the views around our cabin. It is breath-taking. All around you is lush, green trees, hills, and grass. You get that camping feeling with the picnic tables, fire wood, fire-pit, BBQ and all the beautiful nature surrounding you, but then you turn around and see the cabins and know you aren’t giving up the amenities of home that you’d rather not live without. Just look at this view!

The cabins had everything we needed. You first walk into the living room, which has a couch with a pull out bed and a dining table.

Then it flows into the kitchen that is completely stocked with everything you will need to prepare your meals; including a stove, microwave, coffee maker, refrigerator and dish washer.

There is also a very spacious bathroom with hot water and a shower that also has soaps, shampoos and towels for your use.

The Master Bedroom is also pretty spacious and very bright with plenty of light. The upstairs loft area has mattresses and blankets. There is also heat and A/C in the cabins as well as wi-fi.

We kicked off our weekend by opening some bottles of our favorite Ammunition Wine and toasted to an amazing weekend ahead. It was so relaxing to unplug and just sit out on the porch, enjoy the beautiful sunset while sipping on some wine and catching up with good friends. No phones, no TV, no laptops, just good old fellowship and enjoying each others company. That night we ate, we drank, we played board games, did some karaoke and just had a good time.

When morning came, breakfast was made using Melissa’s Produce to create a delicious avocado toast buffet. Shelby made this delicious spread for us using fresh avocado, tomatoes, pine nuts, and egg. It was a healthy start to our day of adventure at Ventura Ranch KOA.

The Santa Paula Creek is not far from the cabins and can be heard from the cabins. You can take a dip in the Big Foot Water Hole. Since the pool was closed for the winter season, you can bet that is just what we did after breakfast.

You will see these gorgeous Peacocks roaming around the campgrounds too!

There are plenty of hiking trails in the area to go explore, or you can just enjoy the view or you can partake in other activities on the property. There are tons of fun activities to enjoy, you can tie dye t-shirts whatever colors you wish,  pan for gold, do some rock climbing, jump on this giant jumping pillow (it’s kind of like a trampoline), and much more. Memories will be made that will last a lifetime with your loved ones.

Rock Climbing Wall

Feel like a kid and go jump and play on the giant jumping pillow!

Tye-Dye T-shirts!

We decided to head into town for dinner. We dined at Enzo’s that is located in the historic Glen Tavern Inn. It is a very historic inn and the food was delicious! Pasta and steak are the highlights on the menu, but be sure to try the bread too! It is delicious!

The next morning we thought it would be fun to do some yoga together down by the Tee-pees and river using our new CGear Sand-free yoga mats.

What better way to achieve a zen state of mind than by doing some yoga out in nature on a beautiful, peaceful Sunday morning? After our yoga session and having some breakfast, we said our goodbyes and headed back home to reality.

The next time you want to have a girlfriends getaway weekend, be sure to keep KOA Ventura Ranch in mind! It is the perfect place to enjoy some glamping in a beautiful location with your girlfriends. We had the best time here and I cannot wait to go back! Now I want to go on another vacay! Where to next? 🙂
