Acton / Los Angeles North KOA

Easy late night arrival and set up. Had no issues getting paid the next morning. Nice place for a winter stay.

I stayed here for four weekends this summer… Aug and Sept. The campground was really very well run. Facilities are first rate and clean. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Thank you Jose! Sorry but I cannot remember all of the different people who helped me out during my stays. You really get the feeling of being out in the middle of nowhere, which you kind of are… lol
The other thing I liked was there there are a variety of places to camp. The main ground and the back lots if you really wanna get away from it all. On the weekends there is a big communal camp fire and outdoor movies on a big screen.
All in all a fun time for the fam and kids.

Went camping here for labor day weekend with my whole family and had a blast! The staff treats you like royalty, bathrooms were always fully stocked, heated and clean! Plenty of activities to do, they show movies at night on a big projector under the stars and at night you can hear the lions roaring so loud the ground under our tents vibrate! The lions are in a

First off why would you go camping and expect to have cell signal? You should be off your phone and one with nature when camping HAHA but anyways SPRINT surprisingly has better CALL signal than any other phone carrier here (I know right of all services sprint) but don’t get too crazy and expect to be able to get on any apps. We have been camping here for years ! We’ve been here for Car shows, Father’s Day, family reunions, birthdays and small getaways. It has its flaws but somehow we always end up back here when we need to just get out (but not too far) away from home and relax. The extremely loud train is probably the biggest annoyance at this place second being that the little snack shop closes early. There are plenty of restrooms to choose from here if your willing to walk away from your site and they’ve always been clean from our experience. A lot has changed over the years such as the jacuzzi now only allows 18 year olds and up inside which I think is awesome. The arcade burned down and it’s still under construction who knows what they will do with that area. They added a little doggie park near the RVs. I saw they added more activities and rental bikes for kids for a fee and new cabanas. In no way is KOA camping roughing it but it’s nice to just pack up and leave and still have all the amenities you would on any other vacation.

We were originally suppose to go to Buckhorn Campground and got lost so we ended up here. What a GREAT mistake we made! A sweet lady by the name of Veronica welcomed us, answered all of our questions, & even tried to help us find the other campground! When we realized we were really far from the other one, we considered staying at this one. She gave us a tour of the campsite and our 3 kids were excited — we knew we found the spot! The staff was super nice and made us feel so welcome! The kids had a good time in the pool, at the playground, and at the «Wicky Wacky Town» riding around on these «pedal» go carts. The only thing I disliked were the flies & bees all over our food but hey– that’s a part of nature right?!
We will definitely be back. A big thank you to the wonderful owner Mr. Han & the staff at KOA in Acton!

I’ve been at this location twice now, last year and this year, for the carshow and stayed the weekend. I’ve come up with my Girlfriend and her Family. It’s a great close-​by getaway. I would say it is a definite «Gotta Drive and Camp There!».
It has Dry Camping and Hook-​Ups, and area for tent camping. It’s got a fenced pool, jacuzzi, playground for kids, and restrooms.
The staff are all very friendly and courteous. The place is kept very neat.
My only recommendations would be:
1) Fix the pay phone as most cell phones don’t get reception, and your wifi doesn’t extend pass your merchant store.
2) Install wifi extenders to extend the area of camping.

This campsite is horrible! Dusty, hot, no shade, clearly much better for RV’s, tent camping was a bummer.
Pool was so crowded and nonsensical, there are four doors but only one of them opens, the pool goes from 3 to 9 feet deep so the 3 foot end is packed full of children and the 9 foot end is empty. We had a one year old and could hardly fit her in amongst the other children.
Staff at the site started out nice, Stephanie was fairly helpful at the beginning while we were getting set up
Otherwise I felt like the staff was constantly lying to us. There is nowhere to park your car if you are tent camping so you have to park it about ¾ of a mile away which sucks.
One staffer told me «make sure you stay in your site lines because we are fully booked this weekend.» (not only were they not fully booked but no one was camping at any of the sites near us)
There are supposedly group activities and movies and other fun things to do but we couldn’t find out where any of that stuff was posted. So we missed out on everything
While we were camping here there was a fire in the lodge building. So there were firefighters and emergency crews on the site for most of the day Saturday. During which none of the staff acknowledged the guests we were all just standing around wondering what to do. It was very stressful so my husband and I just ended up leaving early. We weren’t even offered a replacement stay or refund. So I wasted my money on this camping trip for our anniversary and am sad that we were treated so poorly.
We won’t be back ever.
They have wifi, it doesn’t work.
No cell signal either.

Let me start by saying they were most accommodating for a really large, slightly difficult group. We did our annual campout here and we were about 350 people at it’s peak day. Stephanie and the whole crew took great care of us and were very attentive to our needs in every aspect.
We were in the Rustic section and everything was clean and tidy.
Check in was easy and quick. Besides campers with tents we also had a bunch of Rv people. That was also easy and quick. They do need to fix the wifi, which was down from the last storm. Besides that, we had a great time and I would highly recommend this KOA.
Yes there is a train tracks by the campsite, it really didn’t bother us at all. I slept fine.
We got 13 fire rings and they were all delivered within 15 minutes. They have a new owner, and he is trying his best to get everything in order.
The pool was great too.
The showers and bathrooms were clean and working fine. Thank you KOA, we will be back next year.

Loud TRAIN by our campsite (you will not sleep), staff that doesn’t seem to care (never answers the phone and I watched them ignore my calls from in the office), we payed for a fire ring because you can’t make your own fire and it took 3 hours to get, and then they didn’t have enough so our neighbors were bugging us for ours when we left, bathrooms out of order, lets campers play music as loud as they want all day, their system is always down so if you need anything be prepared to wait. Is that enough?

This campground is fine. There is a nice little hike right behind the RV sites to a rocks that we took our kids on. The surroundings are nice and it has a lot of area for kids to play. There is a basketball court (which our kids used to scooter). The grass areas are nice for soccer as well. My only complaint is that the pool is very cold. Even kids would not get in for long, so that was a bust. It is possible that it wasn’t warm enough out yet (we camped in May). If the pool is that same temp. year round, I don’t think I would go back, but if it was just a fluke, then I would recommend the place to families.

The customer service here is ridiculously awful! We had agreed to terms with them to store a Motorhome monthly in the long term storage. The storage facility is meek and average AT BEST! They took our credit card on file and charged us 1 MONTH at our agreed upon rate. The next month they took it amongst themselves to DOUBLE our rate without letting anyone know! I will never go back and I recommend that you ignore this place at all costs!

Stay away. The «spa» was cold and non-​operable during the time we were here even though I had called beforehand and was told it was working. That was a bald-​faced lie. Their Internet connection speed is surpassed by dial-​up. For $ 40+ WITH a senior discount, they have GOT to be kidding. Or… just another LA ripoff. Stay away.

Only 45 min. from LA, this place is a hidden gem. A great option to relax and recharge your batteries. As we came here to shoot our student film, I also spent a lot of time there with the management and staff. They were all amazing and worked really hard to make our stay very enjoyable and very comfortable. My hats off to Jose Sanchez (GM), Red Maxwell (Maintenance Manager), Stefanie, Sherry, Anthony, and Wayne.
Spacious campsite — accommodates both tents and RVs, bathrooms/​showers, pool, kids playgrounds, small convenient store, movie nights. For those wanting to do some great campfire cooking, the fire pits have an integrated grill that make it very easy to cook great meals right on your campfire.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Everyone on this campsite participated one way another to make our student film a success and we are extremely grateful for that. Five stars all the way!

I have been staying at this KOA a few times a year for the last few years and I always come away feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Although I think the grassy tent sites are absolutely beautiful, I much rather camp in the rustic area. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. They are always more than willing to make my stay a pleasant one. I definitely recommend staying here if you’re in search of a nice getaway close to LA.

After canceling our one night trip to Big Bear last second due to time constraints, we decided to go somewhere closer and a KOA was kind of our only bet for availability with such late notice (like 7 pm night of).
We got to the campground, found the rustic area, set up camp, had pretty much the whole space to ourselves and truly had a GREAT time. We were also accommodated very well to our new buddy Red. Red came down and checked on us on multiple occasions, told us only to worry about having a good time, brought us a propane fire ring (since we stupidly didn’t know there were no fires) and brought us brand new roasting sticks to use. Without that stuff we probably would have a had much different, darker, colder night. We had a young crew and were able to hang out, listen to music, have a few beverages into the wee hours and not be bugged or told we were being disruptive. It was a great trip and we’ll definitely be back, much thanks to Red!

My wife and I are on our honeymoon road trip without reservations and couldn’t find any places to stay passing through Santa Monica.
Finally we thought of KOA and found Acton Camp Ground. Under an hour from LA, it was the perfect place to stay at an affordable rate. Actually much less than Malibu RV park, which was our only alternative. As we checked in after hours.
While people were loud in the lodge area, bathrooms and showers were clean. Red the maintenance man was awesome and drove us on his golf cart to our tent site. The lawn was comfortable to sleep on without an air mattress. We ended up staying an extra night unexpectedly due to its great proximity to LA. The manager Jose comped us the second night because we arrived after hours for a second night in a row and were in able to use the pool. My wife felt safe alone in the tent which meant a lot to me. It was really a family atmosphere with lots of kids having fun in the pool while we packed up. We have stayed in excellent and horrible camps on our journey from New York, and this place was great. I would recommend it to friends or people comfortable driving outside the city.

I only had a few gripes about this place:
I reserved, yet they still threw me into the «overflow tent» area. Not a lot of people were there, though, so all cool.
They tried to talk me into setting up in the «rustic» area, which is farther away — far from people and in the woods next to the dry creek bed. And contrary to what some people have said in the reviews, the tent area is NOT in a dry creek bed — unless they were stupid and set up in it. It’s about 50 feet from a wash, not a creek.
And the «rustic» tent area is not ¼ of a mile away! It’s more like ¹⁄₁₆^th. I took a walk down there and I wish I would have set up there — not a soul was there.
If you do set up in the rustic area, set up near the bbqs. Some of the tent spaces are far from them.
Another gripe was the amount of people there! If I would have known, I wouldn’t have stayed here. This place was packed! For the people who are mad about the amount of people — well it is a KOA, and I should have known better!
The train isn’t that loud, either. Get a grip guys! And the PCT hikers need a place to stay too. Why so uptight about their presence?
I didn’t mind the place, and for families there are a lot of activities for the kids — pool, an arcade (when open), ice cream, volley ball, tether ball, and Friday movie night.
Family friendly, but not «I want to be alone, in the woods camping person» friendly.
The campground does offer WiFi, but there’s absolutely no place to charge phones/​laptops. No power outlets at all. This place needs to add some power stations because it’s quite absurd to have to ask an RVer if I can use their power outlet. I did bring a solar charger, but it would not charge my Mac.

Arrived Friday afternoon on Easter weekend looking for the same quality and care that we have received at other KOA’s this place was not like any of them. Bathrooms were never cleaned, our site was in the back near the train, events were not on time, propane fire pit (that was an extra charge) did not work, playground for kids was undersized, outdated and dangerous, I have a $ 10.00 rewards coupon from being a member that was not applied at check in as the staff did not know how to process it. Staff was nice for the most part but it is pretty apparent that this location is not getting the same amount of funding and resources as others like Santa Cruz or Ventura or San Diego. My family and I have decided to only stay at KOA’s based on some of our prior experience with other locations but after this trip I think we are going to reconsider and possibly not return to the KOA’s.

By far, the best campsite in the area. My family and I visit every summer and always look forward to the fun. The restrooms are very well kept, they have a nice playground, pool (even though I would not go in, simply because of this germ phobia of mine) and they even have an arcade and convenience store. The list goes on, volleyball-​basketball court, paddle karts! It’s definitely not your average camping trip. We love visiting and the staff is amazing. The only downfall would have to be the train that frequents the site every couple of hours.
They also host events for campers to enjoy like a movie night on a huge jumbo screen. Pretty cool, with popcorn and everything. Overall a safe, fun camp ground!

Tent camped here. It was nice to camp on grass & shade. The convenient store was stocked with ice & ice cream! The craft & movie night were a hit with our kids. We took a small hike on the Pacific crest trail. There is a small creek that is running with a little bit of water. Just enough to excite the family. The kids got to take a ride on a tractor train.
Can’t wait to find the time to make it back up here!
