Shortly after we arrived, we were approached by a permanent resident who wanted to sell us shampoo or conditioner. Most of the park is permanent residents. The park is OK (if you don't mind solicitors) for an overnight. But it is expensive for what you get. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park is 3/4 full of permanent residents. 2 out of the three showers were closed for half of our stay. Someone behind us decided to build something at one in the morning. Having said all that, the pool and Hot tub were great. The staff was friendly most of the time. If we had to, we would probably stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park is certainly a contrast compared to what they say on their website. It appeared to me that they really were particular about who they let stay there but it's not like that at all. It's ok if you have to stay somewhere for the night but it's not somewhere you'd like to stay for a vacation. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Although this park had good ratings for facilities, the area we were parked was primarily permanent for most sites. There was no grass except around the buildings. There was a storage area one row over that was littered with debris. Most of the permanent residents had boxes, toys, and trash around their sites. There were many junky trucks just parked around their sites. One resident had a chicken on a tether. It was not a good experience, but there is a shortage of sites for camping in that area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is nothing but a gathering for old junk and broken down RVs. The bathrooms were a mess and a meeting place for all of the long-term residents. This is a campground (long term parking lot) that I will not return too. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground is mostly permanents or long term residents. Their advertisements are deceiving. There was a lot of noise late into the night and early in the morning. We walked around the park and the backside of the park is pure trash, old vehicles that look like they have been abandoned, scattered all over the place. The staff was okay. It was definitely overpriced and crowded. There is a fee for the WiFi. We will not return to this park nor recommend it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed here one night while traveling north on I5. Very nice pull thru site very long didn't need to unhitch (we are over 53ft total). Nice and wide. Very nice pool and hot tub. Did not interact with staff as we arrived after hours. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very dirty, noisy place. Lots of trash around the long term sites. Looks like nobody ever picks up the garbage. The only reason we stayed here is because we wanted to get past the L.A. area (headed to the Monterey bay area) before we stopped for the night. Had to wait for what seemed like a long time for the manager to finish a personal (and argumentative) phone call before she came over to get us checked in. Don't plan on ever staying at this park again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice lake to fish. Boat ramp and boat rentals. Grounds are very large and nice to walk. Nothing special. Just a close park to LA. We camped here in a Motorhome.
One of the worst campgrounds we've ever experienced. Wanted to stop for one evening on the outskirts of LA before hitting Disneyland/LA traffic, and picked this campground out of the Trailer Life Directory. As with a lot of LA area RV parks, it's a concrete parking lot, with little shade, no landscaping, etc. Sites are so close together that we couldn't put our awning out. Everyone is in everyone else's face, with little to no privacy. After getting settled, we went to cool off in the large pool -- and the first thing we saw was 5 or 6 adults in the hot tub, with a completely naked baby. Does anyone want to use that hottub, ever again?? The park was noisy, and unpleasant, and we would never go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I came for the peace and quiet and I got it. It did get a little hot during the day but that is expected in Castaic. The resort was clean and the roads were paved. The pull through sites were gravel and had some grass with its own benches. Overall, I got what I expected. Both my neighbors came to the camp to go to Magic Mountain, so the camp was quiet. I will camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed here a few times. More and more monthly renters. Not sure if that is the reason or not. But kinda getting run down. It can be hot there but there are a LOT of trees. So bring a portible Sat. if you use a dish or dome. ANTS big time in July. That aint the parks fault but. We run our own internet network from our aircard which we are glad. We heard the PAY for internet isn't all that and not that cheap. 57.00 a night during 4th of July weekend. High water pressure. Didn't visit pool. Cable TV not all that. Not sure we'll be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This camp ground is right next to Magic Mountain entertainment park. It is also close to the William S Hart museum. This RV park is good for a short stay. While we were there we watched them film a show for the animal channel. A gal does a show on dog behavior. The RV park was nice to let them use their area. I would stay here again, We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed for a month so our cost per night was vastly reduced. Our son and his family live in Studio City, and this park is less than a 30 minute commute on a good day; that was our only purpose for staying here. The office personnel were very friendly and answered all of our questions. The small store here is well stocked and has convenience store prices or a bit higher. You may want to check the dates on things like milk though. All hookups worked well in the park. We were disappointed that you could only recycle aluminum cans and glass bottles here. They sell propane and is a great spot to fill up. The sites are crushed rock and grass which did not get muddy when it rained. We will stay here again in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.
There are lots of trees which meant lots of leaves. The park looked tired. But it is the only decent park in the north LA area. It is quite pricey for what you get. There are lots of permanent residents. It is trashing looking. There are paved roads, gravel pads and lots of speed bumps - ugh. It rained while I was leaving and it was muddy. I was on space K11 and able to get satellite TV. There is not much to say for this park except it was handy and has a friendly staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not family friendly! More than half the park is full timers, mostly elderly folks with old, broken down trailers. Adults have pool seperate from kids, seems like this park was intended for Seniors only. Tiny play area for kids, not much else. One of the women in the office was just nasty mean. All act like they have a resort when it's simply an old, run down campground. Trash cans were over flowing and the smell was horrible. Completly over priced for what you get! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This place is nice and big. Pools are nice. People are helpful. It is pretty clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Estimating re: rate, I didn't note it. Very close to Magic Mtn. but a bit hard to find (due to a closed road). Efficient 'after hours' registration. Park could use some re-furbishing. Laundry room was being upgraded during our (1 night) stay. Small kids playground, dog area, fire rings/pit. 2 large pools-- one only for adults, other kids could use. That seemed a bit 'off putting' for a family park but I understand some would like it. Kids not allowed in spa. There is a wading pool that adults must be w/the kids. We didn't go in the store but it looked large. Only stayed 1 night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park has everything one could want! It is very clean, and staff are friendly and helpful. Our only complaint is the design (location of the hookups). They are at the entrance end of the pull-throughs. So, one must have 35-foot hook up cords or unhook the towable. Also, don't leave your chairs out at night; because they turn on the sprinklers. We liked it and will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We found this to be a very nice park. We had a corner site with plenty of room and grass for the dogs. The park has a great dog run. Long and Short term residents were friendly. The only reason I did not rate this park a 10 is that you have to pay a fee for WiFi and at $45 per night it should be included. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was at one time a good stop and spend a night or two. Most of the park is full time residences. Because of that maintenance is not looked at and the site are in poor shape. Office staff is great, but once you leave the office forget it. Sites are very close and due to the full time res. and all the stuff that is stored around the RV it is a mess. The $48.00 fee that the get is because it is the only park near Magic Mountain. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed overnight, just passing through. For a large park, it felt quiet and private, with a rural setting and well-maintained. Pool and spa were not crowded on a Saturday evening, and very clean. Water pressure was pretty high (80 lb) and we did not hook that up. A bit expensive for the simple overnight. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We completely enjoyed our stay at this park. We did not have any problems pulling in/out of our pull-thru site with our motor home. Registration was quick and staff were extremely pleasant. We had a spot right across from the pool, and a small grassy area with a picnic table. Spent a lot of time at the pool, which was not overly crowded considering the park seemed very full. It was very clean and well-maintained. Park is very family-oriented, with a small playground and arcade. It has a small store which was well-stocked and very convenient. We chose this park because of its proximity to Magic Mountain. We would highly recommend this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We thoroughly enjoyed Valencia Travel Village. The spots were pull-throughs and they had complete hook-ups including cable. Each spot has a picnic table, but not much grass space. You are approx. 10-12 feet away from the rig on either side of you. The park was extremely quiet and well maintained. The bathrooms smelled like Pinesol everytime we used them. There is also a lot to do at this park including: shuffleboard, horseshoes, dog run, playground, full size pool, wading pool (it was empty), camp store, laundry facilities, dump station, propane for sale and you can even take a hike in the wash. The campground has trees, but I imagine it would still be very hot in the summer. It is also in between mountains, so it serves as kind of a wind-tunnel! We also saw the Sheriff's department driving through the campground twice on what seemed like a friendly patrol. The campground has an area specifically for short-timers and most of the rigs that were near us were very nice. If you stray out of your area one way or the other, then you will run into the long-timers area which does have a few junky rigs, or nice rigs with junk all around them. Nothing horrendous, but worth mentioning. Overall, we really liked this part and would return. It was clean, quiet and had lots to do. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The staff was friendly and efficient when we checked in. Our site was very long so while it is possible not to have to unhook a tow car, we had to because the hookups are at the back of the site. We could not leave the car in the back of the rig. It seems that the front two rows are used for short term stays. There is also another circular spot that is used for short term. The rest is long term, some of which are very junky as has been stated in other reviews. We had to be careful when we pulled into our spot because of trees close by. They have nice areas to walk pets. We did not use any of their facilities, but they seemed nice looking. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Be very careful if you plan to camp here in hot weather. The park voltage is very low; we saw 102 volts at our site ( B1) and could not run our airs. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice park with full grown trees and green grass. The office people and friendly and efficient. It is easy to find, easy to park and there are numerous places to eat and visit nearby. There are a lot of long term people, some with trashy RV's and a lot of junk around their site. Why do the owners allow this in otherwise a class A place? The place appeared full or almost full the three nights we were there. There is wifi which is slow with low signal, but works well enough for e-mail. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Expensive for a basic place, close to magic mountain amusement park. Staff ranged from helpful to hopeless. Pool looked disgusting, to use wifi, you had to pay and then sit on the porch of the office or rec center, where you can’t sit in with a bottle of water. Mostly caters to permanent residents, real ‘trailer park’ feel to the place and staff. Yet the place is big, easy to get to and usually busy with lots of expensive rigs. High priced mobil rv service guy sort of on call. Next time I’m there I’d rather stay at the best western down the road. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great park. But there are a lot of "permanent" residents. One even had a car up on jackstands. They are mainly on the back rows. The best sites are in the front. The pool is great. The dog run is great. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
As dog owners, we really appreciated the fenced, off-leash run area. Sites were cozy, but we've seen much worse. Yes, there are lots of seasonals who "decorate" their sites with an abundance of potted plants and garden ceramics, but in general, we found everything neat, clean, efficiently operated and friendly. The heated pool/hot spa were wonderful. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The entry to the facility appears nice and clean. The staff were also friendly and the small store has the basic commodities needed to keep you from running to the store late at night. If you're stopping overnight, a weekend, or a week, you'll probably be placed at the back of the park in a circled area. It's next to the RV storage area. All the rest of the spots are made available for the long termers, which amount to about approx 85% of the park residents. We've dropped by here in 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002, because of it's location right off the 5 frwy and Highway 128 while we were enroute elsewhere in the state. It's okay for that purpose, although I would not recommend it for a destination park. Over those years, I've seen exactly the same RV's parked along the route to the back of the park, and they definately look like they've been parked there forever. There's lots of "oozers" with junk all under and around their RV's. All the grass has been killed off leaving only patches of ugly dirt covered with parked cars and other misc junk. The park management does nothing about these people and it certainly detracts from the enjoyment of the facility, especially when you have to walk by them each and every time you need to go to the store/office at the front of the park. They have recently added a new section with pullthroughs. It used to be the tent camping area. Although it was developed with grassy areas between the RV's, it has been completely taken over by the oozers. The grass is also beginning to die off as it did years ago in the existing oozer area.
This park is really closer to Castaic than it is to Valencia, an upscale community. As such, the only competition is Castic RV Park, which doesn't say much because Castaic RV park is 100 times worse in cleanliness and atmosphere than Valencia Travel Village. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park would have scored much higher if there was not so much trailer park trash living here. There is an adult pool and a kids pool. Nice BBQ facilities for groups. Lots of grass and full grown trees. Really a nice setting. Needs to be cleaned out. We camped here in a Motorhome.
