Campground Reviews

Feb 02, 2026
Not happy about having to pay for an extra space to have two new visitors after two had left. If you are going to charge for guests then you need to keep an account of who comes and goes.

I stayed in a Glamping Cabin and it was great. I was very impressed with how clean and well-maintained the grounds and facilities were. The staff was also very friendly and helpful.

Always friendly staff, warm and receptive. One of my favorite spots to stay when in the area.

Sarah was an amazing wealth of info. We so enjoyed the CLEAN,?MAINTAINED grounds. We will definitely be back. Also the touch of the homemade donuts was incredible.

We stay at this particular KOA every now and then ... I am amazed at how large this facility is and well maintained it stays throughout the year ... it's a great place to bring the kids as well... I also wanted to mention that this is the only facility that I have seen that caters to dogs... If you're ever in the area I would highly recommend staying at this facility

First time ever camping and first time with an RV travel trailer, and the Monterey / Santa Cruz KOA made it easy. Staff were amazing and helped us back in. They allowed all 5 of our dogs, which we really appreciated. Other guests were great and respectful. Will definitely be back.

Hate giving good ratings to such nice places for fear it will get too busy for me. Lovely place. Staff was very pleasant at all times. Will put this on our list of places to return to.

Nice site, bathrooms floors and walls dirty. Dogs left in dog pens allowed to bark for hours while owners ignored them: very annoying and cruel for the dogs. Laundry only at the main office, long walk from back of campground

Staff was very helpful and friendly. cabins were clean and well-kept as was the entire grounds

We did not like our original site…too dark and closed in but we loved the replacement site with lots of light and nice views. Strolling the campground some of the long term sites were a bit of an eyesore though the rest of the campground was well maintained. Staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely return.

Great time, especially for our kids! Loved all of the crafts and fun events, felt more like a fun camp experience than just another rv park. Lovely and friendly employees as well.

We found the plastic wrist bands to be offensive. We have never encountered them at other KOAs.If they are meant to securely identify campers, a simple cut-and-tape can easily transfer the band to another person.

Loved the hiking trails. Nice for dog walking.

Very enjoyable. The campsite was above what we expected.

Good experience. I did star gazing in the backyard, but later I found there are much nicer places around. I should have looked around more.

This place is well taken care of the staff are pleasant and helpful. The grounds and the facilities are nicer than most. The location is a bit far away from things.

We stayed for 2 months. All the staff are friendly and helpful. The grounds and all facilities were kept very clean. The staff seem happy to work there.

It was perfect! I needed a cozy place with a fire pit for the evening and the glamping cabin was awesome. Wonderful fire pit, close to bathrooms, showers and the store when I needed more wood. Bed was comfy. Thank you very much!

Great staff, great campground, need to replace bocce balls . Love this koa !!!
Jan 22, 2026
Staff were friendly and responsive but the cabin smelled like cigarettes and dog, the shower head was green/dirty, and the window blinds had splash stains of I don’t know what. This was our first time staying at the koa, but we will not go again. We had reserved 3 nights at the koa cabin but ended up leaving less than 24 hours after we got there..At the very least the cabin should be clean.

All went well. Clean park, super friendly staff!

First time at this facility, clean grounds and great amenities. Clean cabins. Hot tub and pool available in January was a huge plus. Probably should trim back the oliander bushes from the fire rings and rake up the dry leaves on the ground though, hate to see a fire caused by that. Good experience nonetheless

Great facility. I originally booked "Nature" back-in site and was talked into a sight with a paw pen which was small and was not a good option for our dog. Cost more but wasn't necessary for me. Could be a little more relaxed about dog policy for well behaved dogs

We had the best experience... clean and quiet campground and friendly staff

It was awesome! We cant wait to come back
Jan 20, 2026
It was absolutely perfect! My kids absolutely loved the location, bouncy pillow, and playground. We went to Santa Cruz to explore the area but had to drag the kids away from the KOA to do it! Thank you for a great time!

The people that work there are amazing. They are "Disney", or In-N-Out burger friendly and helpful.

The sites are large. We did not stay at a sight with a fenced pet area, but loved the idea. The park has plenty of entertainment for kids. We picked up breakfast the last morning we were there. It was good. The KOA also had 2 dog parks. Worth a visit.

Always a great time to be at the coast, but this time we had a lot of rain.

KOA Santa Cruz/Monterey Bay is a beautiful campground with lots of activities and amenities for the family.

Staff was super friendly and the site had a lot of activities for the kids.

The staff is so friendly and accommodating. So many wonderful activities for the kids. They do a good job fixing any broken equipment in a timely fashion. We love staying here and will do it again!

Nice place

We enjoyed our stay. We rented a cabin. The campground was quiet and peaceful in January. We heard a owl in the evening. We used the pool and Hot tub. The staff was friendly.
Jan 08, 2026
It was ok but the room it was dirty and the cabin did not have a stove, and we have to ask for towels. The pool it was dirty and the jacuzzi too.

Awesome dedicated staff who take pride in their work!! Everyone was friendly with smiles on their faces. The campground was beautifully maintained. This is the best KOA that we’ve visited!

Nice place to camp. Lots of kids focused activities. The showers were not cleaned often enough and was missing some shelves in some. Close to 2 state beaches if you want to leave the campground and explore. Monterey and Santa Cruz are short drives.

Always a great place to celebrate our annual Memorial Day weekend with grandkids. There are plenty of activities for kids. If you just want to get away for a weekend or a week its a campground I will continue to go to.

Rooms? They have cabins here. And campgrounds for RVs and tents. Everything is clean and well- maintained. Service? They didn't wait on me, but they sure know how to provide a great family environment! Train rides for kids, activities, heated swimming pool, playgrounds, jumping pillows!! They do specials on the weekends for meals, but we didn't take advantage of that. Location? Closer to Santa Cruz than Monterey, but it's the bike riding accessibility that mattered most to me. Nice country road by the campground, leads into towns either direction. Took the Pacific Coast bike trail in two directions on two different days. Very nice!( I had to get used to California drivers and designated bike paths, though.) Lots of places to ride a bike from this KOA!! I'd come back to California from Pennsylvania just to stay here again. 😊
