Whether you have an RV, tent or want to try our Deluxe Cabins, the San Diego KOA, California Campground, is one of San Diego's most popular camping resorts and top-rated destination for family fun. The campground, about 20-minutes from everything San Diego has to offer, is perfectly located to be the base-camp for your San Diego vacation.

Groups enjoy a dedicated group coordinator, special group meeting spaces and custom packages to ensure that each group has a memorable stay.With over 40 years as one of San Diego's best campgrounds, our staff will ensure that you have a great stay each and every time you camp with us!

Overall Camper Rating:

Great resort with all the amenities you'd need. Spots are tight, even for a KOA. So take it nice and slow when backing your rig into the site...or spend a little more $$$ to save the stress. 11/26/2020

Everything the past 6 years has been great., The one thing needed desperately is to redo the bathrooms and showers in the back lot for the cabin users. It is so nice that the new showers by the pool are there but for those of us on the other end, they are brown, old... 11/27/2020

I don’t know how I have lived in San Diego my whole life and never knew about this place! It is perfect for kids of all ages and even during this pandemic! Very well kept campground, friendly staff, and awesome extras for family fun! 11/27/2020

This time was not a very good stay. We were in cabin 201 the stove nor the microwave worked then in the middle of the night the brake popped there was no power in the room... 11/27/2020

Cable and internet do not work well for expense of a night's stay. Very clean grounds friendly staff. Always a pleasant stay. 11/26/2020

Awesome experience. Love the campsites and activities. Only negative is when kids are riding around on high powered electric bikes and scooters. The technology has advanced where these electric scooters/bikes are too powerful to be considered a kids toy... 11/26/2020

Very pleasant week grandchildren had a wonderful time 11/26/2020

The employees were attentive and helpful. The cabin we stayed in was very clean. The complex was well taken care of. 11/26/2020

We had fun and it is a nice place. 11/25/2020

San Diego Metro KOA is hands down the Best camping experience we’ve ever had. Such a beautiful place and very clean and well maintained. Each site is perfect. We stayed on the Preferred Pull through site and we already made new reservations again. See you guys soon. 11/25/2020

We love all of the activities. It is a great place for pets, families, friends, etc. 11/25/2020

I booked a deluxe cabin for one night as a "screen break" for my family and I. The kids rode bikes, did the jumping pillow and had tons of outdoor fun. They never even watched TV at the cabin. They stayed mostly up in their loft area while in the cabin... 11/25/2020

I was frustrated this visit as I called with my sister to request spots next to each other more than 3 weeks before our stay. I called again 1 week before to verify and was assured. The day we check in... 11/24/2020

Great stay like always, the kids enjoyed every minute possible inside their beautiful brand new pool. We’ll definitely going back. 11/24/2020

This KOA is the nicest one where we have stayed. The grounds and facilities are exceptionally well kept, the bikes, trikes and carts this kids can ride are always in good repair and ready to roll... 11/24/2020
