It was my first time taking my new boat out without anyones guidance, and of course, being inexperienced, I unknowingly took it out on a super, like super windy day, with 25+ mph winds! And again, being naive and inexperienced, I launch my little boat, immediately regretting it hahaha. And being new to all of this at the time, I had no confidence or knowledge to properly retrieve my boat out of that, mess, to say the least hahaha. The workers, working at the launch ramp SAVED ME!!! They were all so beyond super nice, awesome, and helpful! I asked if they could help me retrieve my boat, cause, I didn't know what to do hahaha, and oh my gosh. I am beyond thankful for them! They all helped me and only thanks to them we were able get the boat back on the trailer with those crazy winds. A MASSIVELY HUGE SHOUTOUT TO KEARNS, HOGGIE, AND BURNETT!!!!! I CAN NOT THANK YOU GUYS ENOUGH AND HOPE YOU READ THIS!!! They were so helpful and so kind! Didn't take money or anything! Amazing workers! So sorry it took so long to write a review! I didn't forget! Get them a raise frickin immediately! They definitely made it a memorable first experience hahahaha! May the Lord BLESS all of you!!!

My friend and I were off of school for the week and decided to take a road trip/camping trip to…read moreDeath Valley, which is about a 7 hour drive from our hometown. We got to Death Valley and spent less than 24 hours there because we were so miserable. We packed up the car in search of another campground and drove back towards our hometown when we saw The Castaic Lake Campgrounds. We ended up spending the rest of our week there and it was absolutely gorgeous! It saved our Spring Break Vacation. There is tons to do: endless amount of hiking trails, its absolutely gorgeous all day long- from sunrise to sunset and even at night because the lake is lit up, the air is so fresh, the campgrounds are huge, and on the other side of the lake there is millions of benches, tables, and playgrounds to hangout on. Absolutely gorgeous.

No dog park, but we did walk the park. Didn't feel safe walking my small dogs in park as there was many large dogs behind small fences, one dog almost jumped over fence. Nice store, a little of everything.

I've lived here for a year now. It is exceptionally quiet in the evenings and the only thing you…read morehave to worry about is the four coyotes that run through the campsites around 9:00. Keep your small animals indoors at night. Other than that this place is maintained by a crew of awesome guys and this place is a little piece of Santa Clarita history. It kind of stinks having to pay for electricity here but whatever. Also if you have T-Mobile your cellular service is not going to do well here. I've heard Verizon works well. Everybody that works here is really friendly and this place is super clean. Even my friend who came and visited said that he wouldn't mind living here cuz it's maintained so well.

RUN! DON'T COME HERE, I LEFT!…read more Before moving here, DO THE MATH. I wish I had. Last month, my electric bill was $817. The month before, it was $728. I also pay an additional $100 electricity-related fee when i pay my own electricity, make it make sense! * $1,600-$1,800/month for the RV spot * $700-$1,000/month for the trailer * $700-$800/month for the diesel truck * $700-$800+ electric bills That's roughly $4,000-$4,500+ per month to live in a trailer. At that price, compare this place with renting or buying an actual home. While the cost has gone through the roof, the community and amenities have gone downhill. The showers have visible mold. The pool cues, ping-pong paddles, and pickleball paddles are locked up. To use them, you have to contact the office, wait for the office to contact a guard, and then wait another 10-30 minutes for access. By then, you may not even want to use them. Basic amenities have been turned into an unnecessary hassle. CLEANLINESS IS ANOTHER PROBLEM There is dog poop all over the property. It's disgusting, unsanitary, and in my opinion has reached the point of being a legitimate health concern. For what residents are paying to live here, keeping the grounds clean should be one of the most basic responsibilities. Then there are the bugs. I've camped all over this country and all over the world, so I'm no stranger to insects when camping or staying outdoors. But I have never experienced anything like what I experience at Valencia Travel Village. I get bitten constantly at night. Night after night, I'm dealing with bugs and bites, and from what I can see, management is doing little or nothing effective to address the problem. I understand that an RV park is outdoors. Bugs exist. That isn't my complaint. My complaint is the severity and frequency of the problem, combined with what I see as a lack of an effective response from management. Add that to dog waste around the property and visible mold in the showers, and I have serious concerns about the overall cleanliness and maintenance of this place. It's disgusting, and residents paying these prices should expect better. THIS USED TO BE A GREAT COMMUNITY Before I moved in, I heard that 30-40 people would gather around the pool, play cornhole, and socialize. This place reportedly once had a waiting list. Now, there are more empty spaces than ever. I also don't know a single neighbor who doesn't have a problem with this place. That alone says a lot about how far the community has declined. I've learned after the original owner passed away, management changed. I was told the previous rate was around $800 with electricity included. Now it's $1,600-$1,800 for the space, plus electricity, while the community has become less social, less welcoming, and less enjoyable. OFFICE STAFF The office experience has been just as bad. I have never dealt with a business where the staff were this consistently rude and unhelpful. The weekday office staff often have an attitude, and getting a simple question answered can feel like an inconvenience. I've had better experiences on weekends, when the staff are more polite and professional. Residents should not have to plan their errands around which staff members are working just to receive basic courtesy and assistance. SAFETY CONCERNS I have personally observed security concerns, and multiple neighbors have told me about theft and other safety-related incidents. I have also heard serious concerns involving children's safety. Those reports should be verified through official sources, but management should still take every complaint seriously. Based on my experience and conversations with neighbors, residents do not feel these concerns are being addressed adequately. I don't expect management to replace law enforcement. I do expect clear communication, reasonable security, and a serious response when residents report problems. MANAGEMENT I have experienced what I believe is inconsistent rule enforcement and favoritism. Some residents appear to be allowed to do things others are prohibited from doing. In one interaction, I felt uncomfortable and intimidated. As well as many many other residence complain about the same guy trying to intimidate residence. Overall, is that management has made everything more expensive, more restrictive, and more difficult while the quality of the community has declined. ELECTRICITY My electric bills were $728 one month and $817 the next month. Sister company so they have to pay Edison, and charge what 30% interest or more? so the company can make money. BOTTOM LINE the cost is not justified by the facilities, amenities, management, cleanliness, or overall experience. $700-$800+ electric bills. Mold in the showers. Dog waste throughout the property. Constant problems with bugs. Amenities that are a hassle to use. Safety concerns. And $1,600-$1,800 just for the space. This community may once have had a waiting list. Now, it has more empty spaces than ever.

Our son is going into first grade and absolutely LOVES Valley Trails Summer Camp! He looks forward…read moreto going every morning and cannot wait to see his counselor, Gravity. The counselors have been wonderful, and it is clear that he feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The kids participate in so many different activities, including arts and crafts, sports, swimming, the challenge course, team building, and more. Cayden loves the giant swing, although he says the zip line is still "a little too scary." He has already decided that when he is 7, he will be brave enough to try it! For new parents wondering what to send, Cayden wears a bathing suit, rash guard, and tennis shoes, and I apply sunscreen before he leaves. I pack a towel, an extra set of clothes, and two water bottles. The camp has water available for refills, but I have found that it is easier for him to simply grab his second bottle when the first one is empty. I initially sent him with a packed lunch and snack, but he hardly ate them because, in his words, "the camp food is good." They always have fruit and what he calls "picky pasta," meaning a simple pasta option, so there always seems to be something he is willing to eat. I also drove him to camp at first, but he quickly became comfortable taking the bus and now thinks it is really cool. As a parent, I love that transportation is included. It makes camp so much more convenient and has given him another opportunity to become more independent. The camp also has an app where staff upload photos every day, which is such a fun way to see what the kids are doing. It also makes it easy to communicate with camp staff if you need to arrange an early pickup or share any other information. One of my favorite things about Valley Trails is that Cayden gets to experience a traditional, technology-free summer camp. He comes home absolutely filthy and exhausted every day, which I consider the sign of a truly great day at camp! I truly believe this will be one of his core childhood summer memories, and we are so thankful he has had this experience.

We returned last summer and an unexpected and sudden medical event threw our summer for a loop. They were beyond kind and accommodating. Michael, the owner, personally made sure we were taken care of at a very scary time and was just incredibly kind and communicative. I can't thank him and his staff enough for the support. I would recommend this camp for any family. Its like a classic, old-school summer day camp experience!

My son attended Adventurewood camp for the first time this week. For the most part he enjoyed…read morehimself -- particularly the characters they introduce throughout the week. However, we decided to pull him out for next week because of a very disturbing situation. He shared that a counselor had pushed him with both hands on his shoulders during a capture the flag activity. He had dropped his flag and was putting it back on when a counselor (he didn't know her name) pushed him back hard enough to make him lose his balance and fall. She also barked "you need to reset!" She didn't ask if he was ok or help him up. You'd think if this was an accidental push and he fell over she would say something like "sorry bud are you ok? Here let me help you up" but nope, not a word. A friend he's attending camp with witnessed the whole incident. Since I pick them both up in the afternoons they both recounted this situation to me and both of them noted how inappropriate her behavior was. I immediately reached out to Michael, the owner of the camp. He said he wanted to identify this counselor and get her side of the story. Understandable. My son felt uncomfortable going back the next day but I reassured him it would be handled and offered to drop him off in the morning and stick around to talk to Michael and the counselor. I wanted him to feel safe. Michael identified her (her name is Carson) and said he wanted to talk to her first, which he did a few feet away from me. I heard her say she didn't push him. They then walked over to me and she again denied everything. So we asked both kids to come over and recount what happened. They both did -- in front of her -- and reiterated she pushed him. She denied even touching him. So Michael suggests at this point that perhaps it was an accident and my son responds by saying "how do you push someone like that by accident?!" No response. So I ask her, are you saying these kids are lying? She again said she didn't touch him and at this point we send the kids away. I'm incensed because not only does she gaslight both of them to their face but tells this bold faced lie to her boss in front of the campers and me. I tell her I believe them and I think she's the one lying. At this point she gives me this dirty look - angry, irritated and almost rolls her eyes at me. I turn to Michael and say "and now she's giving ME an attitude?!" Unbelievable. In a follow up call, he tells me how good of a person she is and that this is shocking for him to hear but that she doesn't seem like someone who would do something like this...that she's getting her teacher credentials and he knows her really well. I am getting the vibe he doesn't actually believe any of this and he sounds very skeptical. I respond by telling him that it's almost always surprising when people exhibit bad behavior and that even teachers do bad things...that doesn't make her any more credible in my eyes. He acknowledged that. In fact, it's worse because I would be really concerned to have someone like that teaching a kid. Lack of empathy, accountability, and integrity. I mean, I think it's great he's trying to have her back but there are moments in life when you need to draw a line and act swiftly...these are one of those moments. Because ultimately, this impacts the reputation of your camp. I told him that it would be good to offer training to his staff in case this ever happens again in the future and honestly he sounded baffled and asked me to clarify...I said well maybe tell your staff not to give dirty looks to a mom who's clearly upset that her son just got pushed by a grown adult at summer camp?? I told him that the response to this situation could've resulted in a totally different outcome. Had she said something like "I really don't recall pushing you but if I inadvertently did and made you feel bad I'm sorry - I didn't mean to do that" - I would've went home that morning feeling fine about the situation. When I told him this he said that he's not going to police all her reactions, that she's still young, that she's still learning and made all kinds of excuses for her. Exhausting. Apparently she got a "warning" and will sit out of the flag activity (umm, ok...). He seems like a smart guy and wish him nothing but success in the future and I was earnestly trying to offer advice for how to handle a situation like this better but it fell on deaf ears. I really hope that some kind of learning comes out of this for both of them. Oh and to top it off, my son's friend told her mom that Carson was giving her looks several times throughout the day today and when she asked what kind she said "side eye" looks. NOT COOL. My son also said she was kind of mean to him but wondering why they were even in close proximity when Michael said they'd absolutely be separated and would not see each other? Validates we both made the right choice by pulling them both out. He offered a refund but I'm still pissed about the situation.

She explained that as for my 3 year old there was complete availability. About 2 minutes after, she then stated that she was confused and that the center DOES NOT serve infants and does not even have any infant rooms and that the youngest room she could start is the "penguin" room and that my 3 year old could he put on a wait list bc the 3 year old room was suddenly full. Im sorry but this woman was a complete IDIOT. How do you not know your school doesn't have certain class rooms? How do you just forget rooms are full after you just said they have complete availability. How are you going to advertise infant care on yelp and not have it? This was so completely unprofessional.
