Campground has become way too strict with guests. Everyone needing a wristband is ridiculous, but worse than that is that there is no more than 6 guests per site, INCLUDING OUR CHILDREN! So we couldn't have a friend come to visit for a couple of hours without having to reserve another site. Absolutely absurd.

Check in process with bracelets seems a little excessive. Showers could be a bit cleaner. They had globs of hair and were dark and a bit shabby Understandable if staying at a cheap campground, but this place is on the pricier side. Staff working the events were super friendly and helpful. Campsites were clean and well maintained. Activities were fun and engaging.

Expensive, but worth it. Had one cabin near our motorhome site playing overly loud music Easter Sunday evening, otherwise it was, as always, a very nice place to be.

We stay at the watsonville koa very often but this time the experience was not good at all the fridge smelled like fish and was replaced but the cabin still smelled like fish after and we told the front desk and they just gave us a air freshener which didn't help the smell

Everyone was so friendly and kind. It was our 1st time in a cabin and everything was very clean and comfy!

I had a great time, the cabin was clean and comfortable, the facilities and bathrooms were all well kept and clean. There was a lot to do at the camp and while it was very busy, it stayed fairly quiet during the posted quiet times and I had no issues sleeping.

Very organized and excellent security. Clean, beautiful campground with lots of amenities. Great for families.

The staff were always very helpful and happy! The cabins were really spacious, comfortable, clean and looked great! Due to a glitch in their booking system, they did not have the cabin we requested available, but the staff really went out of their way to find a comparable cabin that would work for our family for the days we wanted!!

We had an awesome week! We keep coming back here because our kids love all the activities and we love that they can have a little freedom and we can have a little R&R! Bonus - The food in the sand shack is delicious and convenient when you want a night or morning off from cooking!

Regarding the Easter Egg Hunt, It seemed to be more of a free for all. Many younger kids could not find anything as the older kids had found them. Some were even filled with dirt. Maybe you can divide the field into 3 or 4 monitored areas for different age groups (1-4, 5-9, 10-13).

Super nice staff and very clean campground. Can’t wait to come back.

It was great

Great stay over our spring break week. The water pump for the campsite failed but within 3-4 hours they had water trucks filling up the holding tanks. Our kids enjoyed the playground, jump pillows, games, activities, etc. We'll likely be back for a future visit.

we enjoyed our time and loved our spot (with the patio decks). I think we will choose to come at a less busy time if we come again, it was fully packed and we weren't able to enjoy the pool or hot tub due to the immense amount of people. I think it's best to enjoy your property when it's not jam packed. Service was helpful and courteous as usual.

Super friendly staff. Can't wait to return.

Food options were very limited and only open on weekends- we lost water service for over 4hrs as well

Bathrooms were dirty and toilets clogged. Other than that everything was great!

We had a wonderful time. So many activities for the kids and the staff is lovely. Thanks!

You ran out of water AMA told me to go to the state b park to go to the bathrooms. Totally unacceptable.

The city cut the water early in the morning so we had no water. So no bathrooms, showers, dog wash, or drinking water. We got there around 7pm and the checkin people aren’t there, only the gate guy, who was not helpful. Numbers are tiny on spaces and we ended up using the wrong space. For the price, not worth it.

Campgrounds lost water to sites and bathrooms. Left earlier than planned.

We stay here every year, we normally love it. However this year, we arrived to our cabin fridge full of old rotten food, a dirty bathroom with lots of hair, dirty sheets, bones from old steaks on our patio, a broken shower and sand all over the floors… so disappointing and didn’t get as much as a sorry from the front desk or cleaning staff. Might have to find somewhere new for our annual stay.

I love Monterey/Santa Cruz KOA. Cabin 82 has lamps in the bedroom on the headboard of the main bed. They are in a really bad spot. All of us kept hitting our heads on them. Other than that we loved it.

It was great and everyone is really nice and so many fun activities to do.

This KOA is so well run. I have never stayed somewhere that has this many activities and services. The fact that the picked up our garbage multiple times through out the day was amazing! The kids activities were so fun and the playgrounds were very nice!

Great location, Koa offers lots of things for everyone to do.

Our trip was wonderful. We stayed with three other families in different sites. We had lots of children and dogs we felt ivery safe with them exploring the campground. Everything was clean and the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. The pool & hot tub area was a great place to kick back. I was thoroughly impressed with this campground. This was our first KOA trip and we’ll definitely be back.

Great customer service, cabin needs some updating, but it was clean & comfy.

For the most part we had a great time. The only issue was that a water pipe burst one night leaving us without water for about 8hours. We called it in at 4am but I had to reach out again at 9am to check in if someone was coming to fix it. Thankfully it was fixed by 10.30am that same morning. Other than that we had a great trip.

Very quiet, and so many activities and fun things to do! Will definitely be back and recommend to our RV friends!!

Great place for kids! Many activity stations to keep young and old busy. Dog yards available at sites for fur babies! The staff was very friendly.

Amazing campground for families! We stayed in RV spot 176 and it backed to the playground. It was a quick walk to the bathrooms and the jumping area. I loved that I could sit next to the fire in the evening and watch the kids play from our camp site. The kids made a few new friends and the amenities they offer are outstanding! Wish we stayed longer! The only negative was that there were puddles of water in the showers.

We love this place! It's our 2nd time here and with older kids. All the other families are super friendly and inclusive. It's close enough to Santa Cruz or Monterey for a day trip. The grounds are clean, spacious, and easy to access. The Produce Market in Moss Landing on hwy 1 is a must stop!
