Tent Reviews

It was great! My kids enjoyed the jumping pillow. I enjoyed the WiFi that let me stream the games. Close to the lake and golf courses. Friendly staff.

Exceeded our expectations! Pleasantly impressed at every turn. So many amenities, beautiful and versatile sites, friendly staff, prime location. We will definitely be back again and again!!

It was a great first stay for our little family. We stayed in the fishbowl which was perfect for my 2 year old to ride his bike around. We just wish the pool was heated but everything else was wonderful!

Lots to do! Kids loved the jumping pillow, swimming and feeding Kevin the emu. Grownups loved cornhole amd the closeness of the campsite to the play areas and restrooms! Will be back!

My only complaint is that our campsite was narrow, with a steep drop-off on one side composed of loose dirt that seemed to be crumbling away. In particular, the picnic table was right on the edge, so that sitting on one of the two sides was scary. On the plus, we enjoyed the bouncy pillow and Kevin the emu. I stopped by the front desk a few times to chat with "Kim Anne", who was very helpful!

Karen kindly answered our after hours phone call to take our last minute reservation & gave us a great spot. The restroom facilities were well maintained & lit. I highly recommend this KOA & we are grateful for the great customer service!

We had a lovely, dusty stay at Santa Margarita KOA! The kids enjoyed the jumping pillow, pool and camping fun! The location of hills, valleys and trails makes this KOA unusual and unique! The stargazers trail was amazing on the clear night! One change is to add a gravel pit for water over flow from the spigot goes otherwise we had mud running through camp and made for an extra messy space. Thank!

This was our third stay at this KOA. We love the staff, the grounds are groomed, and the location is perfect for us.

My tent site was so spacious and flat that we really enjoyed tent camping. It was very private and secluded lot and very quiet. Camp fire was good and staffs were very kind and professional. We will come back.

Great experience at this KOA! Our kids had a blast and we had plenty of space to run around

This place has GOT to be, hands down, the BEST and most scenic KOA around. There are many I haven’t been to yet, but this one, at the very least, remains almost at the very top. I absolutely love all of the secluded tent camping options. It was an absolutely wonderful experience. I loved the experience of remote camping, but in a safe park with great security. The staff are awesome, too! A+++

The staff were great and kindly moved us to a different spot after a nasty hornet swarm encounter. Wish we had known about the hornets to begin as it was a little difficult to move. Loved the 2nd spot though!!

Staff were friendly and recommended we switch camp sites to 91. We were very happy with the recommendation and view! The bathrooms were far, but they were clean and updated. We were very happy with our stay at this campground.

Amazing staff, they were a joy to be around.

The staff created so many fun activities for our family and we enjoyed every minute. My daughter asked how soon we could come back.
Aug 09, 2021
friendly and helpful staff. my family loves to camp there. we've stayed in the cabins and tent camped as well. we love both. kids love the pool and jumping pillow.
Aug 09, 2021
Wonderful place, just wish there's was more grassy areas. Maybe more in the winter. Hoping to come then. Bathroom got really bad Sat.afternoon. Loved the activities that were held also really liked the little store in the office for coffee creamers and ice and those things. The girls at the front office were wonderful and highly friendly ���, they need raised I'm sure!!

It was a father and daughter getaway and we had an amazing time at the KOA, especially with our neighbor, Kevin the Emu. We enjoyed kayaking in the lake and in the ocean, as well as horseback riding, and hope to be back again soon with family and friends.

Restrooms could have been cleaner. I overheard the owner mention they strictly enforce the quiet hours and someone should be driving around to make sure everyone was being compliant but both nights music was on until 2 am. 1st night it was a reunion group, over by the bathrooms so it was not too close to so we let it go but the second night a family came in at the site above us. But nice otherwise

Can't say enough good things about the staff, they are so friendly and welcoming. The kids loved all the animal sightings from deer, wild turkeys and feeding Kevin the emu. We were there during a family reunion, so there was A LOT of car traffic late at night. The jumping pillow was fun with great views. Bathrooms are a bit of a hike, but clean! A heads up lake marina and activities are closed T/W

Enjoyed our campsite, beautiful grounds, the kids loved the jumping pillow and Kevin the Emu. LOTS of yellow jackets, pool was extremely full and the kids in the pool weren't being watched by parents so we ended up leaving the pool, lots of construction as well. We woke up to chainsaws and machinery being used every morning.

This was our 3rd time here. We travel from Maryland every other year and we always stay here. With all the trees and the shaded pool, it is our favorite KOA.
Jul 26, 2021
The campground was as expected except the tent areas were a little smaller than expected, but my group stayed up in the Fingers area, so we rented all 4 spaces for our group of 25 guests, so we were able to manage. The facilities were clean and monitored regularly. The activities for the kids were hands down the best I have seen at previous KOA's, so that was definitely a plus.
Jul 26, 2021
My stay was amazing. I LOVED my campsite and the staff was incredible. Especially Vincent, he was very helpful and friendly. I will definitely be returning and telling people about KOA Santa Margarita!
Jul 26, 2021
I had a great time and they are all so friendly and helpful. I’ll be back.

We had such a wonderful family camping trip here. We stayed during the week so it wasn’t so crowded or loud. My daughter was upset that the jump pillow wasn’t working, but she still enjoyed herself.

The staff is so friendly and helpful the campground is clean and bathrooms and showers very well kept up We loved our stay
Jul 12, 2021
Staff was very friendly. Store is fantastic. Activities were truly impressive. Makes us want to do another KOA again. A couple concerns though: 1) The pool water was absolutely filthy. I can't overstate how gross that was. 2) Quiet hours were not respected. There was blaring music well past 10 pm 3) The waterslide needs more supervision. My daughter was almost hit as staff wasn't controlling slide

Secluded and shaded campsites. Clean bathrooms. Lots of activities to keep the kids busy. Overall chill vibe. Loved our time.

Good place for outdoor activities. We had great time. Campground is disappointing, dusty, no shades and congested tent campsites.

Was für ein Traum. Das ist für uns der schönste ruhepol den es gibt. Wir waren schon öfter hier und würden immer wieder kommen. Der Weh lohnt sich!

Karen, Daisy, and Michele were amazing. We had a Family event and these ladies went out of their way to help me and my family and gave us a seamless and amazing experience. Definitely planning my next reunion here. Thank you so much!

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.
