Parking is easy on the road into the Rose Valley campground or pay day use to come inside the campground. Walk to falls is from a marked trail within the campground. Less than a 1/2 mile to the falls. Rated very easy! Sometimes there is water. Sometimes not so much. Swim opportunities along the creek.

The good: decent spacing between sites, close proximity to things to do and amenities. During the entire seventh month day, we witnessed total lack of maintenance, security and safety in this park. There are two bath houses-one at the office and one at the center of the camp. The one at the office is maintained much better than the one at the center of the camp, which is the one most people find closest to use. These bathrooms are constantly out of toilet paper, are filthy, and for six months the three toilet ladies room has only had one toilet working. The men's room has water flowing over the floor most of the time-total safety issue. There is zero lighting at night near the bathrooms and people have fallen, it's a wonder they haven't been sued. There is no way to see where the sidewalk ends and the street starts. Even the camp host is extremely frustrated because they report these issues to the office and nothing is done. Several campers have complained to the office, and nothing is done. There was a resident here with two huge, very aggressive dogs and many of us complained about these dogs because they would lunge at people, including children when they went by and they would bark incessantly. The office actually lied and said no one has complained when we mentioned it to them because several neighbors informed us that they too complained long before we did. Staff can be very snarky when you present complaints and concerns. Just the fact that they don't care about our safety astound us. Warning - don't even chance arriving at night after dark because you will surely scrape your rig from the lack of maintenance to the trees along the roadway. One of our neighbors has deep gouges on his unit from this. The staff travels the wrong way on the roadway constantly, but don't you dare do it as a camper. Weeds everywhere. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

We had read some previous reviews on another site that weren't so inviting. However, upon our…read morearrival we were surprised at how wrong we felt the previous reviewers were or how much it had changed. This park looked amazing when we first drove in. There are many pull-thru sites here. They sites appeared well taken care of with fresh green grass. There were two dog parks. Neither had water by the dog parks to help with clean-up nor did they have bags or a garbage can. We did use the laundry by check-in. It was FREE to campers. There were two washers. One was broken and appeared to have been broken for some time. There were four dryers and two were broken. The location here was perfect. The commissary and NEX were good sized and there were plenty of activities on and off base. Beaches were close. Maintenance staff and host were friendly and always seemed to be working on one thing or another. WI-Fi worked great. A negative -- Office staff ... not so friendly. There were two in the office at check-in and the brunette was a little curt. I wasn't in a hurry to go back there at all. It would have been nice to have received a map of the area. We thought this a nice place and would consider returning if in the area.

Dean is doing an incredible job bringing new life to this park and making it feel like such a welcoming place for families to come back, spend time together, and enjoy the outdoors. You can really feel how much care and energy he is putting into it. We had a fantastic time, and anytime a little issue came up, Dean was immediately there to help us resolve it. He was incredibly kind, responsive, collaborative, and accommodating throughout our stay. Such a special place and a wonderful experience. We would absolutely come back. 10/10!

What's up: Staying the night here after a fun filled day picking strawberries at Underwood Farms…read more Parking: One parking spot is included within the campsite. Additional cars will require additional fee. Environment: We made a reservation for this campground ahead of time using their website. Once we got here, we drove to our numbered campsite and set up camp. The nice thing about this campground is that there is a small playground for the kiddo to play at. They also have a combination of portable toilets as well as flushing toilets (depends how far away your campsite is). They also allow RVs in a certain part of the campground. It's also open to day use for a fee. The campground ranger came by as we were setting up and welcomed us as well as gave us some campground info. What was ordered: - Campsite for one night (includes a parking spot, picnic table, and a bbq / campfire ring. Water tap is available in the campsite) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. The campground was nice and there are nice views of the Ojai Valley if you head up towards one of the day use spots. Credit cards are accepted.

The maintenance on the park is excellent. Not had a single incident where a palm tree branch wiped out my motorcycle, because they are meticulously maintained along with all areas. The manager here takes her role very seriously in interviewing and making the appropriate match of personalities of current tenants to new tenants. We are approximately 10 ft apart from one another, so a culture of peace can be a delicate balance. If you've interviewed and not gotten a spot, then it is for the benefit of community. When the right one comes up and it's right for you, then it's a win win for the community. It's not about you alone.. That process ensures me that my living situation can remain stable and peaceful. I appreciate this because the Avenue is not the most peaceful zone of Ventura. Lastly, I want to comment on the unique blend of people who live here. I see people of all different types here and we share. It is not uncommon to have a loaf of bread or vegetables from a neighbor's garden. When I bake I bake extra so I can share. There are retired people here and young working families. We all watch out for one another and we know when strangers enter our park. The two other reviewers here (one of whom tracked down my page about redesigning my trailer to spew vitriol there) are sharing examples of why they haven't found a fit here. We'd prefer you not find us here. I'd prefer you'd write reviews that draw negative attention. Keep the creeps at bay. I just don't think you should go around public ally assassinating the character of a hard working person. You know what they say, "You can pack your suitcases and move, but whereever you go you're still the same person."

Middle Lion's a small area and the sites are first come first serve.. so we were happy we got a good one. We had a delicious bbq, big campfire, and met some other fellow campers who were very cool. Nice neighbors all around! The bathroom was really gross but that's camping, right? At least there was a bathroom. The ranger at the park was really sweet and helpful. This place wasn't as amazing as camping somewhere like Avenue of the Giants.. but it was a lot of fun with friends. Dog friendly campground but keep them on a leash. A bobcat had been spotted walking around earlier that day- the ranger warned everyone about him and said to keep pets close. It was fun walking along the creek, which was completely dried up in August. We got our $5 Adventure Pass at a nearby visitor's center. The ranger *did* check when we were there.. so you should probably have one.

Based on what we SAW, I give this place two stars. We were not even able to get a spot because it…read morewas packed... well what do you expect with only 8 or 9 sites in the camp! While well kept, spaced nicely, and in a quaint area, and had bathrooms/fire pits/ tables; it is just too small to realistically expect to get a spot on a weekend in the spring, summer, or even early fall. With only a hand full of campgrounds in the area, its no wonder they all fill up fast. No reservations makes it even more of a bummer when you're faced with the possibility of either going home, or roughing it out on a trail. The latter is what we ended up doing since both Middle Lion and Rose Campgrounds were absolutely packed. While its a nice site, beware of it being full on a weekend!

It ended up being the perfect little getaway close to home. One of the things we appreciated most was how spacious the campsites felt. They're especially great if you're camping with one or two tents or have a smaller trailer. While you can still see your neighboring campers, you don't feel like you're right on top of each other which made the campground feel comfortable and peaceful. Each campsite includes a picnic table, and a fire ring, making it easy to enjoy meals outside and relax around a campfire in the evening. The campground also provides trash cans, which was a huge convenience since we didn't have to pack all of our trash back home with us. The campground has showers, water faucets, and the restrooms include flush toilets and sinks which we really appreciated. One thing to note is that the restroom stall doors don't lock, so that's something to keep in mind if you're planning a stay. There is also a small playground making it a nice option for families with younger children. The camp hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. They took the time to chat with campers answered questions and helped create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere throughout the campground. One of our favorite parts of the trip was simply enjoying the scenery. The sunrises and sunsets were absolutely beautiful, and once the sun went down, the stars were incredible. It was such a peaceful place to unwind and enjoy nature. Since we camped over the Fourth of July, temperatures reached around 85°F during the day, so it was definitely warm. If you don't mind the summer heat, though, it's a wonderful place to camp. Another bonus is that you're only about a 5-10 minute drive from town, so it's easy to grab anything you may have forgotten or pick up extra supplies and you do have cell service at the campground. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will absolutely be back. Kenny Grove is a quiet, well maintained campground that's perfect for a relaxing weekend away. Another simple camping trip that turned into a sweet little memory for us.

Although, spot #2 and #1 at the campground are "not" big rig friendly. I don't care what the their website or other sites post. We had to maneuver our way back into the spot and made it work but I would not suggest it for big rigs. Our stay was nice but cut short due to the drastic rainy weather coming our way. This spot sits at the bottom of a sloped road or washy area so we were not about to stay there and have anything come barreling down behind us and cause us any harm to ourselves, our pets or our truck/rig. So, we messaged the park about us leaving and explained our safety concerns and they were happy to refund us the two days early we had to leave. We were very grateful and anxious to leave to get ahead of the impending storm. As you all know when California gets rain it gets rain and you need to stay clear of these areas for your safety. We would go back and stay at Foster Residence Campground and would recommend.
