For the most part it was enjoyable and fun for the kids. The first night we had no heat in our cabin the second night small space heaters that helped a bit but disappointed we didn’t have our normal heater working. My son’s bike was also taken from our campsite on our last night, our friends who were right next to us had a lamp taken from their campsite on the first night.

Nice KOA. Was all decked out for Halloween. That was fun. Facilites were nice and clean, staff was friendly. Nice camp store.

All was great! We rent site 157 each year, and it’s very clean except for the stairs - the rug always has leftover stuff on it from previous renters. If extra attention could be given to that area, that would be great. Also having a limited number of visitors would be fun!

So much fun! Can’t wait to go back!

This is our second year attending and our family loves it. We found out the area we are in may be under renovation. This is great, but we also hear it may become RV sites. This is unfortunate as not everyone has the luxury to have or rent RV's. I hope this location can remain having cabins for those who can only attend because there are cabins available. Thank you for your consideration.

Excellent campground, very well maintained and equipped. Many activities of campers of all ages. Convenient access to the nearby beach. Will be returning this spring with my sister and her husband.

We arrived to an envelope at the gate(4:30pm) Our cabin had an extremely worn down pull out couch with a disgusting mattress, so we did not use it and had to double up in a twin bunk both nights. I was expecting sleeping for 5-6. Our bathroom had a very bad odor that didn’t go away except for when water was running down the shower drain. Unimpressed but willing to try another cabin next time.

Great family fun! I really enjoyed all the new activities and added features this year. The activity directors were very friendly and helpful especially Cody. I cant wait to come again.

Great location and a beautiful KOA. The only reason they don't get 5 stars is because the staff allows guest behavior that is clearly against the rules. Large dogs were allowed to run free unleashed causing problems with my own leashed dog. These dog owners were in cabin 81. The staff working in the building by the bounce mat clearly saw this and never did anything.

It was great thank you

Everything was fine, except for the absolute and complete price gauge. We all understand its a holiday event, but the increase over a normal KOA stay is EXTREMELY aggressive.

We have gone for several years but this year our cabin needed so many repairs!!! For the amount of money that we come back every year, I would have hoped they would maintain their units. Not sure we we will return after going for several years annually. Still waiting for the manager to call me back.

Screaming music and yelling from the campsite across feom us until 1am Friday night. No toilet paper in the restroom behind us Sunday at 4am. Bathroom a mess at 8am as seat covers were being used for toilet paper. 1 out of 3 sinks clogged. I reported it to the person who was cleaning up trash bags set out at 9am. He said "house cleaning will be by soon" left at 10:30. No one came to clean.

My family visited in the beginning of October and it was perfect. Weather was great, and the park was basically empty. My family had a blast climbing the palm tree rock climbing.. thanks to Cody he was awesome
Oct 13, 2023
Had an awesome and wonderful time. My family enjoyed all the fun and activities. I especially would like mention that Courtney and Cory were amazing, friendly. They ran the train and the palm tree climbing area.

We have stayed here numerous times in every cabin type. All have been great. We love how clean and well maintained the property is and how dog friendly the accommodations are. When our children were younger this was a safe haven, that has provided endless memories. We always leave -looking forward to our next return.

Love the property. The pool was super warm. Playground was fun and so was the jumping pillow. Wish the bike rentals were open. Cabin 111 was a little worse for wear. Lots of broken cabinets. Bathroom door doesn't close or latch. Bbq was dirty was maintenence came quickly to remedy. Sheets on the queen bed look like they have foot prints on them and some hair. Super gross! Regardless we had fun!

Everyone working this weekend were so nice and helpful! We used to go to KOA multiple times a year, and always at the Halloween events since 2015. Two years ago we stopped due to negative employees and bad experiences. We’re so happy to have positive and kind KOA team members again!
Oct 11, 2023
Our stay was okay until our cooler and towel were stolen from our campsite. It soured the experience and left us feeling like we wouldn't return.
Oct 10, 2023
I love the cabin. I love the amenities offered. All staff were friendly and helpful. Love the location. Perfect spot fir families with kids.
Oct 10, 2023
We love your KOA.. this was the first year with issues. My sons cabin air quit and they brought them a unit but it didn’t work great and my daughters airstream no air no tv and no WiFi!! Other than that we had a good time and love the staff..
Oct 10, 2023
This KOA is nice and well maintained. My issue was the streetlight that is mounted onto cabin and shines onto the entire fire pit area, lighting it up like daytime. Hard to stargaze. Or enjoy sitting by the fire. There were plenty of open cabins, all were nice and dark except mine. Idk why they put me in that one. Definately ruined the experience for me.

Everything was great only thong was the hot water didn't work.

Our group of family friends had such a wonderful stay! It sold a few on getting memberships. This was the perfect short vacation from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Really nice place. Had a great time.

Our daughter loved the little loft in our cabin. She made friends at the pool and jumping pillow. It was great to have our gigs with us. Can’t wait to co e back!
Oct 03, 2023
Always a fun time staying during the Halloween season. Lots of activities to do.
Oct 02, 2023
It was great! Way better than what I had thought it would be. Just a note to the cost, $360.00 seems a little high priced for just a Room with two uncomfortable beds and no bathroom, for just two nights. Not something I can budget often for sure.� But thanks for allowing me options to have the opportunity to stay there with my family who have their own trailer.�

It was our first time at a KOA and we will definitely be back again. KOA Holiday had every amenity we could ask for. Our cabin was cozy and comfortable. The staff was friendly and attentive. Great location near the coast. We wished we could stay another night or two - next time!

Overall we had an amazing weekend and the kids loved the campgrounds. Only issues we had was the main bathroom nearest the tent sites didn’t have hot water so it was a longer trek to get hot water. The pool was also not heated like advertised. They were trying to fix it but a big part of our trip was planned around swimming and the pool was arctic cold that the kids couldn't swim.

We had a great time celebrating our Family Reunion! It was our first time with KOA and we were very pleased with the friendly staff, activities and amenities. The area where our cabins 13-17 were located provided a private space for us to hold our own activities and program! It became a wonderful bonding family time for all of us! Thank you Santa Cruz/Monterey Bay KOA!

This was a our first time staying in a Deluxe Cabin and we loved it! We recently sold our travel trailer, so this gave us the camping experience without the work. We can't wait to come back again - the only problem is that this site books so quickly and far in advance! Thanks for the great stay.

This is a very nice KOA and definitely a KOA type experience. We checked in quickly and our spot was adequate for our van. The showers in the morning were good but could have been a bit cleaner. That is why the four star rating...

Could not rate rooms as we have a RV. Most excellent service and well maintained grounds in a beautiful setting.
