Had a fun time. It was out 2nd time here. We introduced our new doggo to the campground. He loved the dog park area. It’s clean, well run and plenty of amenities. Thanks for everything. Bill and Stacy McKee

The KOA in Manchester Beach CA is really awesome! The employees are so nice and friendly especially Angela and David. There were nightly community campfires, ice cream socials, karaoke, nightly movies, swimming, hot tub, and an arcade. There's something for everyone. Lots of RV sites, tent sites, and cabins. We met some pretty awesome people and shared a lot of fun stories around the campfire.

This is the second year we stay in Manchester Beach at the KOA campsite and we love it. We have two girls, 6 and 7 and its It is definitely becoming a family tradition, its relaxing yet there are many things to do.

We had a good time. It was a really great experience. It was nice to have a hot shower. Really nice to be able to take a short bike ride to the beach. Seems like they have a lot of activities. Lots of different people and cultures. Friendly vibe. I only wish the camp would enforce people being quiet at least after 11pm. Some of our neighbors were up well past midnight and very noisy.

While this is an older KOA it was kept very clean, loved the firewood bundle drop off at my campsite. My only recommendation would be to perhaps, in the future, add equipment to or update the playground areas. The store is very limited, but we were able to locate a nice market a few miles South of the KOA.

We are return guests, and WE LOVE staying here! We love the location, amenities (and how clean they are!) and the price. Overall, 10/10 would recommend this KOA!

Very clean for a busy KOA, nice staff. Hard working.

Big dust bowl poor landscaping and you have to pay for WIFI service and it doesn’t work no phone service rates are too expensive I have been there 3 times in 20 years and I will never return.

My name is Kathryn Garrison. I registered in my legal name, used my bank card in that name. However, my late husband’s name was used for the reservation. My late husband. He’s dead. Imagine my dismay when I saw his name on the board. I have remarried since his passing, but imagine my shock please. We need to fix that. The manager said she would, but this email even is addressed to him.

Cabin met our needs. People and staff very friendly. Planning on another stay next year.

The campground itself is great. The sites are huge and shaded with beautiful trees. Staff is very friendly and helpful. There is a one mile trail to the beach. However, don't expect much communication with the outside world. There is no T- mobile service (phone or data) and I suspect no other cell service. There is no OTA TV service and we had no cable hookup (although there are supposedly sites).

We come here once a year and have done so for 6 years at least. The bathrooms are always clean, as well as the cabin. The cabins and picnic tables have been repainted since we were here last which makes it even better. The pool is heated and very enjoyable as usual. A great place to come overall.

Generally very clean (particularly the bathrooms). Good location with access to aa nice trail down to the beach.

Lovely, green campground. Lots of activities, nice pool and arcade. Showers could use some updating, floor was always wet in the ladies room. Appreciated there were lots of tent and cabin sites, as well as RV sites.

Seems to be a very well run business in every way. Front desk colleagues are nice and helpful, campground and facilities are clean and well maintained (other than the ping pong table badly need replacing). Good job!

This year was our 19th year staying at the Manchester Beach KOA and it was wonderful. The staff is always amazing (esp Yolanda and Karina!), and the grounds are looking good. We LOVED the idea of the yard sale/craft sale but seemed very few people knew it was happening/who was participating. Maybe a separate white board with site #, or some way to mark your site? I hope it happens again!

Staff were very pleasant and helpful! We also appreciated the variety of kid-friendly activities offered. However, the tent sites were very close together, giving the experience a crowded feel. At the front of our cabin, K31, it was very windy. Decorative wind barriers may be helpful! Thanks!

Excellent place to stay.

We loved it. Staff and campers are friendly and the children enjoy the many activities.

Difficult drive from the Bay Area. Personable staff, fun events, in great shape, quiet and plenty of good people.

great stay love the area

This place is fun. Surprised how many options for staying from tent sites to a big lodge. Many group and shared spaces. Campfire wood delivered to your site. Weather was a foggy and cold for our visit but sun poked out around noon. Was not happy to learn that dogs were not allowed at the actual beach, Manchester, though. So stayed around KOA mostly.

I was only there for 1 night. It was clean well taken care of. Large tent sites and great bathrooms. I would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area.
Aug 05, 2024
The staff was wonderful and our site was easy to access, spacious and love the trees. Our water facet was leaking but not too much. Will come again. Thanks so much!

We stayed at the Delux Cabin. The KOA should offer linens, pillows, and bath towels as other KOAs offer. It was too challenging for us to bring that all ourselves. I would much rather pay an extra fee then bring my own.

We spent the week with family at Manchester Beach, some of whom also stayed at KOA, others at Manchester Beach State Park campsite.

I have stayed here multiple times over the years. Most recently on my stay, I noticed the grounds were well tended, bathrooms were clean, cottages (where I stayed) and cabins were clean as well. Staff is friendly and always willing to help. Quiet time is always adhered to which is really appreciated, even on crowded weekends.

Nice Place, have stayed many times. Clean, good restrooms/showers.

Set in a beautiful grove of old trees this place has more character (and characters) than any KOA we have been to in the Western US. If you are on the PCH, Make this one of your stops.
Aug 03, 2024
All the KOA amenities we have come to expect. The one big drawback for us was the dust and dirt that was inescapable. Patches of grass were scarce. Access roads needed upgrades. Other than that the park is well placed on the long stretch of highway one.

We come here once a year sometimes twice. Everyone who works there is wonderful and helpful. There are beaches that are close and you can take your dog too. We love Manchester KOA.

I was surprised on all the special accommodations the Manchester KOA had besides nice RVsites: cabins, tent sites, dish washing set ups x 3, camping kitchens, disc golf, great dog park
Aug 02, 2024
The people who work there are absolutely the kindest, most friendly and helpful staff I've ever met. They make you feel like family. The property is meticulously maintained, and there are so many creature comforts. I love this place!

28 ft motor home 2 nights, 2 adults We needed a few nights hook up after days of boondocking. The massive crowd had cleared out so it was pleasantly quite and user-friendly Staff was pleasant There is a state park option we useed a few hundred meter's down the road also, but all in all a pleasant stay

The facilities were ok,not great and the additional charges for dog and WiFi were a surprise on check in

Out of the 7 places we stayed this week, this was the largest but also the busiest. As a result it was not as clean and much more noisy but they did have good compliance with quiet time.

This is about the best KOA I've ever seen. I've been coming here for several years off and on. Don't miss Oktoberfest near the end of October. ✌🏻

Outstanding destination. Our motorcycle group stayed here two years in a row and had an outstanding experience each time. The staff are amazing, friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. From this area you have access to some of northen California's most beautiful roads.🏍 It was a perfect location to call home base for the long Memorial Day weekend. You also can't beat the many amenities available at this location, including a pool/hot tub, clean bathrooms/ showers and firewood delivered right to your site!
