Santa Cruz / Monterey Bay KOA

Campfire Time

When the sun goes down, campfire time begins. Campfire time promises all the classics: toasting marshmallows, eating during sing-a-longs. Also, join us for interactive live entertainment at the Campfire Theatre. From talent shows to slapstick to game show re-creations, this weekly event relies on camper participation.

Pancake Breakfast

At our pancake breakfasts, we serve up a scrumptious stack of pancakes hot off the griddle. We round out the meal with bacon or sausage links, coffee and orange juice.

Outdoor Cinema

The outdoor cinema is like a drive-in movie without the car. You can enjoy a family-oriented film under the stars. Grab your blanket and some change for the concession stand for freshly-popped popcorn, tasty treats and drinks. Be prepared to get comfortable and enjoy the show!

Tie-Dyed T-Shirts

Bring a piece of your trip home with you: make a t-shirt during craft hour. Your tie-dyed t-shirt will be a wearable memento from your vacation. With a demonstration and all supplies provided, this retro activity satisfies campers of all ages. Remember, there is no right or wrong way to tie-dye! You can also make a custom t-shirt featuring your favorite vacation photo!

Top Your Own Sundae

I scream, you scream, we all scream for sundaes! We serve up your favorite toppings such as chocolate syrup and whipped cream, and a chance to mingle with your fellow campers.

Mechanical Bull & Surfboard

Cowboys and cowgirls alike are welcome to see if they've got what it takes to last eight seconds on our mechanical bull ride. Once out of the saddle, take some time to hang ten on our mechanical surfboard. Cowboy hats and wetsuits are optional - fun is guaranteed! Wristband purchase required.

KOA Express Fun Train

The KOA Express chugs through camp daily, with your conductor pointing out campground highlights and local attractions. On board you'll tap your toes to catchy tunes and enjoy an icy treat. All aboard! Wristband purchase required.

Jumping Pillow

What do you get when you cross a trampoline with a bounce castle? A jumping pillow! This safe activity provides countless hours of exercise and entertainment for the young and young at heart. Wristband purchase required.
