Open All Year
After a day enjoying the outdoors, relax around your campfire and the crickets and frogs will serenade you... along with beautiful birds singing in chorus.
Open year round for GREAT camping! Enjoy our swimming pool from April - September. Please call our office for an opening date in April.
Retreat to a nature-lover's paradise in a rustic setting with panoramic vistas, rolling terrain, and secluded campsites. You're just a quarter mile from Santa Margarita Lake, where you can enjoy fishing, hiking and horse trails. Santa Margarita Lake is regularly stocked with Rainbow Trout. It is excellent fishing for large mouth bass, small mouth bass, catfish, crappies, and blue gills. The lake is a no-contact lake, but boating is welcome. Maybe you would enjoy a horseback riding excursion around the lake. Shangri La Ranch, located across the street from our KOA, will bring the horses to your campsite to pick you up!
We are located within an hour's drive from Hearst Castle, Cambria, Pismo Beach, Morro Bay, local wineries, Pozo National Forest, and many other great local attractions! Monterey and Santa Barbara are also great day trips when visiting California's Central Coast.
After a day enjoying the outdoors, relax around your campfire and the crickets and frogs will serenade you... along with beautiful birds singing in chorus.
Our campground is an outdoor lover's dream, whether you enjoy hiking, fishing, boating, bird watching, horseback riding, cycling, horse shoes, swimming, and many other outdoor activities, you're sure to find an activity in our area you will enjoy!
