Campground Reviews

This is not a Class A friendly park. Office guy was very nice and site was clean. But very tight and I suspect anything over 38' would have a problem maneuvering thru it.

Showers could be bigger but it was a good stay Thank you.

I booked and paid more for a pull-through. But the site I was given was not a true pull through as it took a dozen forward and reverse to get it in the site. Site 141 has the power pole in it and is NOT a pull through for a 30 FT trailer. I was a mom alone with 2 kids and had to ask a stranger for help with all the nonsense I had to do to get it in. I was so disappointed.

Manager was excellent. Had power issues at our 50 amp site (no electricity at times on hot day, couldn't run air conditioner, even when just ran one, instead of two). Roosters lived above us, and disturbed us day and night. Other than this, enjoyed our stay.

Not a lot to do on the KOA property but a very nice park if you want to really relax and have some quiet time and listen to nature. Clean park, very nice staff. We would definitely visit again.

Great place to stay, very quiet ���

Easy access from freeway. Nice hedges for privacy. Site was littered with garbage, needed to be cleaned up. Perimeter sights had big drops on one side, made for trailer scraping.

The only reason they received a 4 is the grounds were not kept up, they had trimmed plants n trees and then left the remains laying about. And they only have 2 showers in the bathrooms and one was not working.

My space was excellent, had a fire pit and picnic table. Though I didn't use it this time, the pool was good to have available. Bathroom/shower room was well organized and well maintained. Kim and Adam were welcoming, friendly and accommodating.

It was very pleasant!

When we arrived at the site our initial intention was to stay 2 nights however due to the power outages in California we had to ask if we could stay a further 4 nights. We also had to make considerable changes to our over all vacation plans. Kim who was on reception was absolutely BRILLIANT and provided a tremendous amount of help as we train at such short notice to make alternative arrangements.

Bathroom needs work. Only 1 operating shower in ladies. One of the typical KOA parking lots, but good enough for one night stay if you just need a place to park for a night. Roosters roaming freely squawing all morning.

We have stayed here before. We only needed an over-night place to stay. We called KOA Salinas/Monterey and they accommodated our trailer and truck without un-hitching. The place looked great. They have really done a lot of work to make this a very pleasant place to stay. I especially want to give them a shout out for the dog walk. Nicely done. We will definitely be back.

Great staff. Everything really clean Good location for exploring the area,easy to find.

Kim was very helpful with extending our reservations when our job ran longer, a few times :) Landromat, clubhouse, store, and pool area were great. The location is horrible. Small cramped spots, not much room to maneuver due to stepped terrain and vehicles in roadways, very loud from freeway, gas station, car stereos, roosters, sirens. Other campgrounds in the area appear to be cramped as well.

The park was very clean, including the very nice swimming pool (during our stay at 3th of October we were the only ones using it). Bonus: Nice welcome with a chocolate chip cookie.

We had a wonderful time. Very clean restrooms and clean campsite.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Restrooms and showers very clean. A little noisy since the location is off the freeway.

Our stay was good. There were a few issues at site 138 that need to be dealt with, such as a very loose connection with the 30 amp outlet, and the sewer connection being almost too low to safely connect to. The park was clean and the staff were amiable. We didn't use any of the facilities so cannot rate those.

Needs to be leveled and shored up at most sites

The location is perfect for exploring the Monterey peninsula.

We chose this park because it was the most affordable location close to Monterey/Carmel. The park was clean. Staff was very nice. The detractor is that the park is practically adjacent to the Hwy 101, and the traffic noise is constant - all night long. The pool area is very nice.

Pictures on there website do zero justice to the dump this place is ! Worse then you can imagine

The air conditioning in our cabin was plugged in but would turn on. Record Heat! Staff said "we just work here". Very disorganized BBQ. Maybe they need more staff? Just 2 people running it. We asked to check out at noon instead of 11:00AM. Manager said another party was coming so no. We called 1 day later to inquire about a lost item and the cabin still wasn't cleaned! Will not renew our VKR.

Disappointed. Didn't meet the same standards as other KOA cabins. Two main grievances, 1. cabin was like a studio with all beds in a single space so not convenient for adults after the lights go off for the kids (other KOAs have separate rooms) 2. no stovetop so no cooking. Also, all the top glass windows were not covered so room remained quite brightly lit from the streetlight all night!

Friendly staff and helpful. The pull through sites are rooming and easy to maneuver within.

Nice facility is well-located with friendly staff. The spots are very close together and the only negative was the provided firepit. Our neighbors used theirs with a packaged fireplace log less than 10 feet from our windows so we couldn't enjoy the nice fresh air. Otherwise a nice place with good amenities.

Very nice campground. Clean friendly area

I was pleased with the kindness the manager showed when we arrived. Also the Saturday free hamburgers and hot dogs was a pleasant surprise.

Site 119 is great!! Staff was friendly and welcoming. And it was a great spot to go north or south for exploring the coast.

Where I was located -space 142- it feels like I was behind a Walmart store next to the garbage bins. Sirens during the night were a kicker!

The staff was wonderful. Very kind, helpful and offered many options for site seeing in the area. The young maintenance man was so helpful to everyone in the park! The reason for the 4 instead of 5 star rating is that our site could use a little TLC (the asphalt pad was in need of repairs with large dips and the hillside behind the site was a bit unkept).
