Wonderful rv park. Very polite and friendly staff. Super clean facilities. Lots of games and activities for children. Had live music on Friday and Saturday nights.

Beautiful and CLEAN (immaculate really); lots for the kiddos to do. Camp-chella was great! The only bummer was the large group VSNA did not adhere to the quiet hours. They were having a great time, and I tried to focus on that rather than trying to sleep.

Very nice RV park it is well taken care of! Office staff super friendly and great customer service. Nice wide roads and the parking for the RV is super level. A lot for fun things for kids to do. Great location for surrounding areas to visit. The only thing is a bundle of wood is $20 super expensive. Emily was friendly and helpful! Overall great KOA!

We loved the “ nature “ campsite that backed up to open space. We had a few trees for shade. We had stayed before with our young grandchildren but this was a much quieter experience. Everyone was very helpful and friendly.

We are now spoiled staying at the Santa Cruise KOA park, so we will be back soon.

We had a fantastic stay at the Santa Cruz KOA. The staff is very friendly, the facilities are very well maintained. Tv slots are nice and roomy leaving lots of space between travelers. Also the many dog parks were a plus. This maybe one of the best Koa we have stayed in.

Lots of activities, kept well informed about going on. Wish we could’ve spent time enjoying the options available. Site was very nice, pet fencing on site worked great. Would be nice to have lighting in the dog runs, as it would make it easier to clean up after dusk, and not need a flashlight. Used the dog wash, thought that was a great idea, Hope to plan another stay in the future.

Amazing A+++++ KOA. Just three comments: -many low voltage cut outs -I have never had so any people cut through my site. I understand the frustration - you need more walking signage how to get places. -A kid was wandering around with a replica gun, clearly causing stress in other guests. KOA as a chain needs a no toy gun rule.

We have two children with special needs, and one of them couldn't take his shoes off for the bounce mat. Everyone was extremely accommodating. The bike rental staff was EXCELLENT. We had one parent on the last day who did not understand the shoe requirement for our special needs child, but we took ourselves out of that mix and did fine.

The staff were friendly and working hard. I tried to purchase snacks and beverages on Friday night and the line was all the way to the back of the store so I came back later and the line was longer! I would recommend a place to purchase items from the store that is not the same line as the check-in lobby.

Very nice rv spaces . Clean roomy.

The people working there are very nice and that is the only reason I might recommend to someone to stay there. The campground is fine but the restrooms are pretty gross. The smell of urine and don’t seem very clean. The shower that I used was also filthy. There was a big glop of hair and dirt in the drain. I booked two nights and only stayed one it was that gross.

It was ok. Bathrooms were not very clean, men's had no soap, for 2 days. Having the picnic table near your neighbor's sewer hose not very appealing. Should have more bushes to block the view. Too far to walk to beach. Lots of poison oak.

Fourth year in a row here! Tried different cabin types and by far, this last was the best. However, I do have one complaint that was bothersome. The smell of pet pee lingered and progressed as the days gone by. I believe a deep clean in cabin #78 is highly necessary. I didn’t think to make it aware during our stay as I hoped the smell would go away. Also, pls consider adding an espresso machine.

Overall, our weekend stay at KOA was good — clean facilities, friendly staff, and convenient location. Loved the curbside trash pickup and it’s definitely a kid-friendly campground. But tent sites were too close, our lock box was broken with an open hole, and it’s pricey. If you’re adults looking for peace and quiet, this isn’t the spot.

Enjoyed all the amenities and the very friendly staff.

You gave us a sight 97 that faced the walkway going into the playground with a lot of foot traffic. It would have been too busy, even if we did bring our grandchildren. We were very clear in stating we wanted a site with the least foot traffic as possible since I am 70 and disabled. You have a nice park with a lot of good things going on, next time, give me a spot so that I can enjoy them.

Great facilities, activities, and personnel. Susan gave us a first class welcome and set the tone for our perfect weekend with the grandchildren. Thanks.

We stayed 3 nights. Was in perfect location for coastal beach activities. Only disappointment was picture online of camping site we reserved had bushes boarder. The site we got didn't have the privacy bushes.

We stayed Tuesday the Friday nights right after Labor Day. Very quiet and uncrowded first three nights. Filled up quick on Friday, but still quiet during quiet time. Many activities for kids. Good home base to explore Monterey Bay to Santa Cruz coast. Don’t miss Elkhorn Slough Safari (pontoon boat tour with naturalist onboard) or Gayle’s Bakery!

The camp grounds were very clean and the staff was very friendly. There was a lot of activities and we look forward to staying in the cabins in the near future. Thank you, Ron, Colette and Quimby.

Midweek arrival is the way to go, the Friday influx was quite a show. The Staff did a great job of escorting every rig imaginable to their assigned spots. Once the crowds were situated, it was dense packed. The kids all had a great time playing and everyone was courteous in spite of the closeness. It helps that The park is very well laid out. We left on Saturday to avoid the Sunday exodus.

We enjoyed our stay but a mildew issue with an air conditioning unit made my wife ill for the ensuing week. We brought it to the front desk's attention and hope it won't happen again. There also were recurring issues with unruly people in the pool and with no lifeguard on hand, it took a while for staff to become aware and resolve it, which happened after we already got fed up and left.

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. 😊
