Excellent personnel, excellent facilities, great location.

We stayed after Labor Day so it was pretty quiet. Staff were friendly and helpful. Women's bathroom was a little confusing near our site, 28, they were not labeled. You had to walk through the shower area that was for both men and women to get to the women's restroom. Bathrooms and showers were clean.

We have been coming here for five or so years, sometimes multiple times a year. This year the vibe was different. Some of the workers children were fighting with each other, even heard the “N” word come out of one of their mouths. Their workers campsites are cluttered and messy. Just not what you would expect from what we considered a clean, more upscale campground. Getting to be a trailer par

Perfect, except for the daily challenges with the wifi, internet.

KOA employees Alyssa and Riley were rock stars with an unruly guest who made a huge scene in the pool area. I was so impressed in how they handled it! Please update the cabins behind the pool area though. They need better maintenance. Doors and beds are loud. Air conditioning kept going out. Fourth year here with a big group over Labor Day weekend. Always a good time.

Very friendly staff - and lots of them! Very neat and tidy campground full of activities for the whole family. It was a relatively warm weekend (mid 80's) so everyone was using their AC's which meant a huge draw on the power. My RV surge protector recorded voltage dropping and shut off power to protect all the RV vitals which left us without power during peak hours. Despite this we will be back.

Need clean restroom

We love coming here! Everyone has fun! Last year (2024) the staff were on top of having the restrooms/showers cleaned regularly. This year wasn’t really the same standard.

Very enjoyable

The bathrooms were not maintained the floors were wet and dirty, sometimes they ran out of seat covers. We’ve been coming here for many years now and this was the worse we’ve seen the bathrooms, dirty, disgusting. Hope you will make it better.

Everything was very organized, and staff were great.

We have always loved our stay here with zero problems. This time however, we ran into a male employee who needs some training in guest management. He was driving a cart and while letting us know that we couldn’t be on the premises until we were checked in, he was rude and confrontational. We were waiting for an early check in. There’s a way to talk to guests and that was not it.

We love this place, its very safe, very family oriented and pet friendly. They keep the kids occupied with fun activities! we have stayed here 3 times already. The employees are very helpful and friendly. The place is very clean, feels like a safe little community.

Staff are so great and friendly. Love all the kid activities.

It was wonderful! We’ve stayed here before and it’s one of our favorite RV spots. Everything is clean, the spaces are well maintained and roomy. The staff are friendly and helpful. The scenery is beautiful and relaxing. There is also so much to do close by. We will be back!!

The stay was pleasant until our last night when power, internet, AND water went completely out from 4am and was still out when we left at 10:20. I understand you can’t control power outages but if power is the reason the water was out you really should have a backup generator. We had to pay $25 to flush out our black water tank when we got home.

Wonderful park with a variety of ways to camp and enjoy the outdoors

Staff was nice and kids had fun way from our site. The bees are very aggressive, if you have allergies, beware. Our children were not able to eat outside without being chased by wasps. There was a honeybee hive in the tree at our site so there were many bees circling around us during our stay. The power was out at the park night before we were set to leave so we had to leave earlier than planned

It is very expensive to stay at KOA sites and then to lose power and water during your stay and not be compensated for it is very disappointing. We had to use our generator and water from our tanks (thankfully we had that) but I didn’t pay all that money to use my own equipment.

We had a great time at KOA SC, but were disappointed by the train schedule. On Saturday, we arrived before 11:30am and were told rides ended at 11:30 daily. But on Sunday around 12:30pm, the train was still running. We would’ve taken the grandkids if we’d known it operated later that day. They were sad that they didn't get to ride it. Inaccurate communication from staff.

Absolutely amazing…. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Very clean, tons of fun stuff for the kids to do. We will recommend to anybody heading to Santa Cruz area. Thank you

We really enjoyed the KOA overall, but the cabin left much to be desired. The bathroom had a terrible odor, which made our stay uncomfortable. For the high price of the cabins, we were quite disappointed. I would recommend the KOA itself, but I wouldn’t suggest paying extra for the larger or “nicer” cabins.

I booked site 196 which says it’s a 50/30amp site. This was not the case and is only for a 50amp rig. They gave us an adapter for the weekend so we didn’t have to move sites. They also charged me $40 for 4 vehicles. Both our sites had 2 vehicles each, which is free according to their terms. After showing them this, they refunded me the $40 and said they didn’t know how that happened.

The new wristband policy really complicated our stay and cost more for our group. We’d rented a cabin for 6 planning to switch local family out midpoint with family traveling over but this was not allowed so we had to rent a tent site for 2 nights.

Amazing
Aug 25, 2025
Clean showers and bathrooms, good amenities, great location which is why I stayed there. However the campsites are so pressed together I couldn't imagine staying there for more than a night. I spent most of my time away from the campground and came back to sleep. It was quiet at night

The accommodations in general were great! Staff was friendly, cabin was clean and we enjoyed the people. I wish that the staff would have managed the parking of cars off the road, the noise and telling all guests to turn off their horns when locking their cars. Very disruptive:-(
Aug 23, 2025
Always friendly staff that make us feel welcomed. Everything was awesome, hated to come back home. Outdoor furniture may need some webbing, cleaned as it had webbs as well as porch railings and inddor ceilings. But overall the best KOA ever!

Very nice
Aug 23, 2025
I liked having many options to choose from to park our trailer. I liked the quietness of the “Preserve” area. Just the right amount of trees to allow our solar panels to soak up the sun. I also liked how close it was to Aptos and Capitola. Plenty of good restaurants to choose from.

Very beautiful place. A little pricey but many amenities

Awesome place to stay. Our favorite KOA. Staff is always so helpful, friendly

We keep coming back for a reason as staff is very friendly and the KOA is clean and well run. Great location and very quiet at night. Cheers, Steve & Jill

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. 😊
