Nice pull through site and grounds. Nice staff with activities on the weekend. It was a lot of fun and my family and I made some good memories.

Patio site was great

Good location right next to the lake and close to Morro Bay and Pismo Beach. Sites are very roomy and spread out, not like typical KOAs where spaces are crammed together. Pretty good shade throughout. Bathrooms were dated but decently clean, however, during my weekend stay, they were not cleaned at all! With only one bathroom per section and spread out sites, campers had to drive to the bathroom.

I filled out the back of site registration already

Super easy no-contact check-in. Easy to find your site and sites are a nice size also. Kids loved the jumping pillow!

It was a wonderful place and we will return. We stayed in a pull-through rv site with a patio, and it was immaculately maintained. The staff were hospitable and helpful. The only downside was the shower area in the ladies’ side. It could use some tlc.

Lovely campground - our site was great on privacy and everything was kept very tidy and clean. It did not disappoint. Located just down the road from a beautiful lake/park.

Things were good until I was told to move my boat from the camp site to an unsecured area. I have expensive stuff on my boat and was told cameras are everywhere. Cameras do not prevent thieves from stealing. Some of the equipment I have was inherited from my Dad, it is irreplaceable. I will not camp at this KOA again unless they change this rule. There is nothing written about this rule.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

sorry were not a marina you have been here twice, and the rule has not changed and were not responsible for any theft to your boats and the area is secure and we have security all night

We purchased a full hook up to include potable water. We scheduled out stay 1-2 days in advance. There was no one in the office when we arrived at 1:00, check in time, said out to lunch. Tbit papers with our site outside to pick up. We went to our site filled with water& hooked up. A note in there said to boil water. Should have called us contaminated water is now in our tanks.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

a stapled notice was on everyone map and it was only a precaution due to normal routine maintenance. there was ZERO contamination thanks Management

There were only 2 negatives. 1.GOAT HEADS and 2. FOXTAILS. These weeds can be very dangerous for dogs and we couldn't even escape them in the dog park and because of them we won't be back nor can we recommend the campground to our dog loving family and friends.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Goat heads is not a reason to not come back or refer your friends this is a country campground we do our best to eliminate pesky weeds and etc as we all own dogs here. luckily there is a campground out there for everyone. Managment

We wasn’t there a lot because we went site seeing. Campers and staff was friendly

Lovely Campground. The pool was too small for this hot Day though. Nice events for children. Lovely staff.
Jul 19, 2023
We had a terrific time at the KOA campground. Lisa and Wolf and their team are very helpful, kind and friendly. Santa Margarita is a hidden gem and we are fortunate to live close enough to come a few times a year.

It was a nice campground. Well kept up. Had to wear bands to use facility and apparently there were different colored bands per day and we were not told about that so when we entered the pool we were told we had the wrong colored band on. That was the one we were given for check in. Overall it is nice and clean. We had a nice big corner lot.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Wristbands for the pool became necessary this summer to ensure our guests could enjoy the pool. Campers from a nearby campground whose pool was closed a lot were overwhelming our pool. We're sorry about the mix-up with your wristbands. We hope wristbands won't be needed in the future.

Beautiful location and a very cool campground. It was an excellent stop over for us on a road-trip.

nice quiet park, up keep on the grounds is good but few things could improve. the management has always been great with me. have stayed there several differetn times in the past few years and it has always been a satisfying experience. i would definitely check this place out if you are in the area. set in the rolling hills just off the coast. beautiful views and plenty of trails to hike

Peaceful and relaxing location! Super clean bathroom, laundry and pool.

Spot #27 - back in RV spot - was very quiet and shaded. Friendly staff and lots of kid activities.
Jul 10, 2023
Our kids loved the jumping pillow and playground. The bathrooms were nice and clean. All the staff was very helpful and friendly. Would absolutely stay here again!
Jul 09, 2023
Our first time camping there , and everyone there were so friendly. We brought our boat and they were so accommodating with where we could park it. We had such a great time and we will definitely be back.

This campground made this trip all together a bad experience. Early in the morning, the electricity went out and did not work at all. There was no notice or anything about electricity not working and no updates on it. The pool, the only amenity that was there, was very dirty and smelled like someone dumped Clorox. The showers only had cold water and was stuck to the wall making it hard to shower.

We loved staying at the KOA. It was very clean and had lots of activities for the kiddos. We will definitely be back. My kids didn't want to leave.
Jun 25, 2023
Wifi does not work. Road needs maintenance and bathroom road was blocked by campers. I could not walk through it and it was far for toilet. Not worth the price. I will not recommend. It was dusty and there was a notice to boil water.

Great experience, people that work there are very friendly and helpful
Jun 18, 2023
The campground is very old school. It's dirt and trees. It is so quiet. We didn't hear a siren the entire time we were there. The grounds are hilly, so bring hiking shoes. There isn't much to do up here. That's just what we were looking for. Our site was amazing. one of the biggest sites we've ever had. If you want to get in touch with Mother Nature, this is your spot. We will return.

Great stay at SM KOA in full hook-up site. Location was clean and allowed for easy backing in and leveling. We stayed during the middle of the week and there was hardly anyone there. Everyone we met was friendly and the nights were quiet. Great stay and close to fishing at Santa Margarita Lake, a favorite spot of ours.
Jun 12, 2023
Awesome campground! Very clean, and has lots to do. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

We love the trees and surroundings. Quick drive the San Luis,Atascadero, Paso and Morro Bay.

We absolutely loved our stay! It was very clean. The jumping pillow was amazing. Loved the slide. We will definitely be back!

Wolf and Lisa are the best hosts! We love this place and come back every year. The kids make all sorts of new friends and play the whole time which gives us parents a lot of relaxation time. The sites are clean and spacious and love the new patio editions to some of them. The crafts and activities are great too, especially the tie dying and pool parties! Highly recommend this place to families.

Everything is always nice and clean at this KOA. The staff is super friendly and professional. We have been at this KOA the past 3 Memorial Day weekends. Great place…we love it! If I had one suggestion would be to remove the weeds in the movie night area. If you take your dog the fox tails get stuck all over them.

THE KOA STAFF WAS TOP NOTCH!
May 23, 2023
We had a great trip the Santa Margarita KOA. The staff was amazing!!!!!!! The only complaint I would have is the WIFI signal was very weak and sometimes was not working. I just dealt with it. I did not inform staff of my issue. Thanks again KOA staff YOU ROCK.......

First time staying at any KOA. Office staff was very nice and helped us make changes to our dates and sites. Their playground with the giant jumping pillow was a big hit. I give them lots of credit for creating many features to have fun: amazing playground, horseshoes, pool, disc golf, etc. They were even working on the Volleyball court. You can tell they are striving to be a good as possible.

No decent wifi. Nice and competent staff. You are piled on top of each other in clusters. Dusty and dry
May 16, 2023
Wonderful site, quiet park close to wineries and the lake
Apr 15, 2024
This is an excellent place if you need a fully equipped cabin down to a tent campsite. Being built into a hillside allows more privacy between sites than you would expect from a typical KOA experience. The hosts are very helpful and very accommodating. Can't say enough about what makes this a step above the typical KOA location as it has been for decades.

Karen, Michele, and Daisy's names. Were amazing help to our family. This trip was kind of hard after my husband passed away. We came out to do a memorial for him. Y'all made it very cool. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

We had a wonderful stay at the Santa Margarita KOA! From the moment we arrived the staff went OUT OF THEIR WAY to make sure our family had a memorable stay. The pool wasn't open yet ( too early in the season) but we had two very warm days so they brought hoses and sprinklers to have water on the jumping pillow and gave the kids water balloons to play with as well. The kids loved it! The grounds and facilities were neat and clean and very well Maintained! The area is just beautiful! Quiet and secluded yet not far from town Highly recommend ! We will definitely return!
