Mountain View Rv Park

I want to write a good review of this place, cause it was quiet and beautiful. However I can’t, since they don’t put any of their RV rules anywhere online or the RV apps, and no one is in the office on Sunday– the day most people check in/​out. It’s walk in only. So we drove all the way there (we full time in a restored 1972 classic Airstream trailer). Pull in and get ready to pay, when some fine print on the brochure says only RV’s 12 years or newer. If they can’t put these rules on their website, or have someone in the office to answer questions every day, they shouldn’t expect people who drive for hours to be turned away over something so ridiculous. Don’t go here if you want to be surrounded by snobs who don’t appreciate a historical vehicle.

Oh the joys of RV living. There are a few RV parks in the area, but this one turned out to be the most inviting. And from what we have heard from other RVers and seen as we checked out the other parks, it is also the best overall.
To start, this is a relatively small and quiet park. The management and «locals» were all very friendly towards us, and everything works as expected.
There are only a few dozen spaces, about ²⁄₃ of which are pull through. The back in spaces offer little room to park a vehicle, but there is ample free parking in an area that used to be for RVs, but has been designated for car parking. Even a second vehicle (in addition to the RV) is free to park here. I could offer many recommendations on how they could better arrange this parking area to get in at least 1 (maybe 2) more RV spots, but I don’t think they are interested.
The only bad thing about where we were in a back in site along the wall was the housing lots behind us. There are a lot of kids playing in the empty lot that get kind of loud, and a few people like to have «hang outs» outside of their house with small bonfires and (sometimes loud) music.
The location is really great — very close to the highway, but not so close as to hear the traffic. The park is on one of the two main roads in Santa Paula with easy walking access to many places to eat, shop, etc.
There is a mobile home park associated with this RV park, but they are two separate entities. There are no mobile homes parked with the RVs, and there is no traffic between the two places either.
We were warned of ants when we moved in, and they weren’t kidding. There are countless ants marching all over the places, but after spraying around our entire camper, cords, hoses, etc. with Ortho Home Defense, we have seen only a few individual ants inside, and this is to be expected. Eventually, we did have a few invasions, but this was quickly taken care of with thorough cabinet cleaning, re-​spraying, and placing various ant-​traps around.
The only really bad thing I can say about this place is the pool/​spa. There is a very small swim spa that no longer works correctly. It is usually heated to a very comfortable temperature and has some under bottom jets, although they are a bit over powered. None of the other jets work, and the swim jet has been sealed over as well. All of this would be fine, but it closes at 8pm, which seems a bit ridiculous, but the managers don’t want to worry about people in there at night. Also, they don’t have any bathroom or shower facilities, so no re-​caulking the bathtub for me…
There is no laundry facility on site; however, there are a couple of options down the road. The closest one can be easily walked to using a rolling laundry cart:
If you are in need of propane, this turned out to be the cheapest option for us, and not very far away: Delta Liquid Energy, (805)525−3311
