Santa Cruz North/Costanoa KOA is an eco-adventure resort designed to encourage guests to explore the stunning beauty of the protected California coastline.

Santa Cruz North/Costanoa KOA is an eco-adventure resort designed to encourage guests to explore the stunning beauty of the protected California coastline. This KOA creates many opportunities to retreat from the chaos of everyday life through hiking, mountain biking, music, art exhibits, kayaking, spa treatments and other activities. The campground strives to develop programs and methods to reinforce its uncompromising commitment to the environment. At this campground, the most visible landmark is Pigeon Point Lighthouse, just three miles north. This distinctive lighthouse has watched over the sheer cliffs and rocky shore since 1872. Its white tower has weathered shipwrecks, rumrunners, a fire, earthquakes, modern technology and even politics.

We offer an array of activities from guided naturalist hikes, horseback riding, and kayaking to art exhibits, mountain biking, and Spa treatments. The Cascade Bar & Grille serves California coastal cuisine, including local California wines and seafood. Costanoa is committed to reducing the impact of our operation on the environment in which we live and work. We are constantly developing new programs and methods to reinforce our commitment to the environment and to social responsibility.

Perfect campground. One of the best options in Bay Area. Beautiful, clean campground with lots of spaces. Many surrounded by meadows, plants or flowers. Some with it's own veranda/patio... 12/15/2019

Probably my tenth time, and always a joy! 1/20/2020

Great facility and location. I only stayed overnight, but would come back again. My only suggestion for an improvement, would be to put a change machine in the laundry rooms... 1/15/2020

Great plae for 4 preschoolers to explore and play safely! We had a beautiful time!!! 1/11/2020

I really enjoy this campground all year, but especially at this time of year. It’s quiet, relaxing and beautiful. 1/11/2020

Can't wait to go back! Beautiful campground, lots of open green space and beautiful views! Quick walk to the beach. Activity tent full of games, tv, fireplace... lodge is gorgeous and massages even better! Restaurant is 5 star... 1/7/2020

We had a great time. The campgrounds are beautiful. I was surprised how empty it was. Nice and quiet. We will be back. 1/7/2020

We were referred by a few people on this spot. What can I say, absolutely beautiful sites and breathtaking views, staff was helpful and accommodating. The only thing is there is no service for the disabled... 1/7/2020

Love the grounds and having the Pacific Ocean just across the highway! Staff at the campground, store and restaurant are very friendly. 1/7/2020

Perfect in every way. The only suggestion I have is too add lighting along the walking paths. The uneven surfaces are dangerous at night especially if you are carrying anything. 1/6/2020

Very friendly staff. Noisy neighbors. Restaurant at Costanoa was overpriced and extremely understaffed. 1/4/2020

Great campsite! Looking forward to camping here again. Facilities are nicely appointed and clean. 1/4/2020

We enjoyed our stay. The band playing for New Year’s Dance Awesome. The only disappointment we and everyone in our group was the WiFi. You need to improve your WiFi!!! We will be returning in June. Hope you fix the WiFi. 1/3/2020

Beautiful area with many sites to see. The store needs more junk food. And less organic process food . But does more options with gluten free foods. But that comes with a higher price. Those negative thoughts are just my personal... 1/3/2020

Cost Effective RV Protection Tips

With all that outdoor time, wear-and-tear is inevitable on your RV. In this video how-to, our RV expert offers five simple and cost-effective measures you can take to protect your RV.

Established in 1902, Big Basin is California's oldest state park. If you want to get lost, Big Basin is the place. With more than 80 miles of trails, Big Basin boasts over 19,000 acres of semi-wilderness, including a rare, virgin redwood forest. Hike into the park directly from one of Costanoa's trails or drive to either of the nearby entrances.

For a tranquil change of pace from the crashing waves and coastal winds, take a short jaunt inland from Costanoa to the lush solitude of Butano State Park. The park is close enough to ride your bike and is filled with twenty miles of trails throughout the snug canyons of Redwoods.

This state reserve hosts the largest and most important elephant seal rookery in North America. From December to March, during mating season, you must have a reservation for docent-guided tours. These guided walks take about two and a half hours and cover three miles. During the off-season, grab a permit from the entrance station and take a self-guided tour through the rookery.

Next to the Pacific Ocean itself, Costanoa's most visible landmark is Pigeon Point Lighthouse. Three miles north of Costanoa, this rather distinctive and flashy lighthouse has watched over the sheer cliffs and rocky shore since 1872. Its white tower has weathered shipwrecks, rumrunners, a fire, earthquakes, modern technology and even politics. It now stands as the second tallest lighthouse in the West and one of the most photographed lighthouses in the country.
