Campground Reviews

Loved it! The warm welcome from the staff is amazing! For how large the property is, you can still get away from all of the excitement and exuberance of youthful energy. We really enjoyed the consistent friendliness of the staff. Thank you!

What a fantastic facility, the staff was so friendly as soon as we arrived, the campground is spotless, and we loved all the amenities. I would definitely recommend this KOA to anyone especially families.

Fantastic stay, this is our 2nd year in a row doing a cabin stay with our kids and we had so much fun! The location is fantastic the team offers so many activities for the kids. The best part is how free and independent the kids can be here, in a safe environment!

Wonderful stay, but we stayed in 175 and people and kids were constantly walking through our campsite. Maybe you could post signs around the playground to use the walkways and not walk through campsites.

The staff were so friendly! I felt like we were on a cruise ship on land! Our very expensive deluxe cabin was pretty beat up, run down. Needs some love. Would have stayed another night if it weren't for that.

We enjoyed our stay and liked all the activities you had for kids and families, even though we didn’t have kids with us on this trip.

The thing I love most about this park is that it is incredibly clean. The layout is inclusive great for the kids in the bikes. It feels safe inviting and the weather never disappoints. We often don’t even leave the park because we are so happy to be part of the community that is built to their period 1000% recommend

A beautiful KOA!! Very friendly and helpful staff. The hot water wasn’t working in our cabin and the staff immediately came over and fixed it. We had very hot showers for the rest of our stay!! Great place for family fun�

I’ve been coming to this KOA for over 25 years. Every time I come here it’s always exciting, it’s always joyful, it’s always fun, and it’s always relaxing. The staff has always been very professional, respectful and personable. The activities that my kids used to do are now the activities that my grandkids do here. It’s a great day(s) at KOA.

The campsite and facilities were clean and well maintained. The staff was helpful and friendly. The swimming pool and hot tub were wonderful amenities. I would definitely stay there again.

We brought our grandsons here for their 1st RV Trip. They really enjoyed the bounce pillows & playgrounds. We went to sunset State Beach which was an easy drive from KOA .

Great time, decent facilities (some bathrooms had broken fixtures). The fire pit was somewhat broken (site #7). Pool very fun!

Safe, clean, super friendly staff. Very pet and kid friendly. Staff is helpful and kind. Maintenance came through with a part we needed to stop a water leak in our rv. Saved the day.

My husband, myself and our two grandboys love to stay at your KOA. It has so many things to do and everyone is so friendly. Each time we have stayed with you, we have had a very enjoyable experience.

Can’t believe there is no cable. Otherwise, we had a great time.

Our kids said this was the best camping trip they have been on! Staff were incredibly nice, facility was super clean and amenities were the best!

Great for kids of all ages, best for kids under 15! Parents have visibility of the activities and bounce pillows from many different sites in the park. Exploring near by is pretty easy and it’s not too far from trains, boardwalk and the Mystery Spot!

Good clean location. Price is a little high for what you get.

We loved this place! We stayed here last October for sons bday and decided to stay here for the graduation trip. Grateful that because their was an issue with our RV right before we left home, we were able to rent a cabin instead. The cabin was nice, but way out of our price range ($1200 for 4 nights).

Great for kids

We had an amazing time at Santa Cruz KOA. Everyone was so friendly from the moment we checked in. I really felt like the kids were safe riding their bikes around the campsite. The cabins were well maintained and clean. Also the community showers and bathrooms were well kept and maintained. Everyone in the shop was friendly and accommodating and it seemed like people really enjoyed working there.

Friendly staff, clean area, very comfortable.

We decided last minute to book a 3 night stay and had a wonderful time! The only feedback I would add, is to have an option for late check out even with an added fee. We initially asked about a later checkout time of 12 to give time to packup after an early morinng soccer game and ended up just booking another night stay and ended up departing around 5pm. Outside of that, everything was great

This was our first time here. We loved our little cabin and we slept very well. The room was well ventilated and we brought our own sheets, pillows and blankets so we were very comfy. The wifi was great. Our daughter had a great time meeting up with friends and we went to the boardwalk. There is so much to do for kids which allowed me and my husband to relax and chill. We will be back!

Great campground for families with kids. We were there with grandchildren and will probably be back at some point with our other grandchildren! Lots of fun activities and very friendly and helpful staff!
Jun 08, 2026
We’ve stayed two times and enjoyed both. It’s a safe space for kids to ride their bikes and scooters and be kids! Our only recommendation is that the 3-way stop in the park become a 4-way stop since those same kids aren’t paying attention to the signs and shoot across that intersection without looking in both directions.

This has become our yearly trip, we just completed our 3rd visit. As always, staff was amazing, grounds are always clean, and there is always plenty for the family to do! Will continue coming!

None the kids activities were running. This happens every year if you guys could please start the kids stuff, the fun train, climbing Palm tree and fun shack a week earlier that would be great.

We had a blast! The staff were all friendly and helpful, there were plenty of fun activities for guests and a great selection at the store. On days we didn't feel like cooking, we could purchase from their kitchen. Family friendly, including dogs! We will be back! :)

We absolutely love our local KOA. The staff are all very friendly, especially the manager Andy. There are so many fun activities that our toddler is never bored. We will be back soon!

THIS is how you do family camping! Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We stayed at the Santa Cruz/Monterey Bay KOA during our family trip down the California coast, and what a wonderful experience! Traveling with kids and a large RV can be an adventure all on its own, so finding a campground that genuinely makes families feel welcome is worth its weight in gold. From the friendly communication to the fun, family-oriented atmosphere, this KOA reminded us exactly why we love traveling this way. The Halloween activities were such a fun addition to our trip, and we appreciated the thoughtful text communication that helped us feel informed and welcome. What really makes a campground special isn't just the location or amenities. It's the people, the atmosphere, and those little details that turn an ordinary overnight stay into a family memory. We travel because we want our kids to experience new places, have adventures, and make memories together. This is exactly the kind of campground that makes those experiences enjoyable for everyone—including the parents! A big thank-you to the team for creating such a welcoming environment. Your efforts do not go unnoticed. We would happily return and recommend this KOA to other families!
