I haven't stayed there yet but Emma Woods State Beach is really nice. I did stay at Ventura Beach RV Resort once and will never stay there again. It is NOT on the beach but about a block inland and on the other side of the train tracks. The grounds were nice but the staff was horrible. Even thou I informed them at the time that I made my reservation that my brother and his wife were going to join me for one night of my weeks stay, and confirmed at the time I checked in that my brothers vehicle was the second vehicle, and verified with security that my brother would not have to pay $10 to park on my site, the young lady at the front at the time of his arrival insisted that my brother's vehicle was a third vehicle, counting my tow vehicle and the 5th wheel as two vehicles and forced him to pay. She even threatened to have his vehicle towed if he didn't pay. I asked her to call a supervisor and she refused.
