Deluxe cabin was comfortable but the floors were very dirty and linens were old

Best KOA campground I’ve ever stayed at. First time camping in my new Tesla with a tent attached. Love the nice fresh bark ground cover, clean site, and electric and water hookups. Staff were awesome and friendly. Definitely coming back soon.

We had my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah this weekend at the KOA and are longtime campers with y’all. Everything went perfectly and your staff - particularly Emily in the grounds crew - were fantastic. Thank you to everyone!

I had the best time here. The staff was so kind, helpful and friendly. I want to especially give a shout out to Shay… she helped me with my booking originally, and then was so helpful and kind whenever I needed help. The campground is beautiful, tons of activities for all ages ( especially kids!) I highly recommend this KOA and cannot wait to return. Thanks to the entire staff!

We had an outstanding visit at KOA! We haven't been for some time and the camp looked outstanding! We could see changes throughout the park and the staff members were very friendly and helpful! We liked everything so much we invited my brother and wife for a bbq and it has been years for them to see the park and they too were very impressed and said "we are going to start coming back here"

The office staff is very friendly. Our deluxe cabin was ideal for our family of 5. The propane BBQ provided was great to have instead of a charcoal one. Being able to bring our dog along on this trip made it extra special. I wish the little store had more options to buy, like fresh fruit. We opted for the golf cart to get around. It was great and the kids had a blast. We will camp here again.

This has got to be the nicest KOA HOLIDAY we’ve ever stayed at. Spent 3 nights, #43, level, flat, easy hook-ups, easy back-in. Nice Landry rm, RR, huge hot-tub that works! Nice pool, approx 75 cabins! LOTS of kid stuff (on wknds!) Super nice staff, every one of them seems interested in guest happiness- very clean & enjoyable! Many thanks to AWESOME STAFF! Would definitely stay here again!!!

BEAUTIFUL campground. I’m new to the RV world. This campground was so nice. The entire staff was so friendly. Loved it. I’m excited to see if all the KOA’s are as nice.

Had a nice back-in spot against the nature trail #72). Not too close to neighbors. The office was very accommodating to us getting next to our cousin. We are supposed to get double points for our week stay (Aug 20-27). Nice, clean park. Loved that the workers picked up trash bags in front of campsite.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Didn't like the initial spot they had us and when asked if we could move, they gave us 3 other options and let us move right away. Second spot was fabulous!! The staff from gate to office to maintenance were very helpful! Loved the pool and spa. Will definitely put this on our list to go to again.

Other guests were to disruptive. They had a loud speaker and music going constantly all weekend. The sinks in the womens bathroom were are plugged up and hair coming out of them. The store was not stocked with merchandise that should have been there. We were not informed on where to find the events/times.

We absolutely loved our cabin. Very friendly staff and felt very secure environment so our children can be in the play area. Definitely be returning

#1 It’s in the sticks, not anywhere near Santa Cruz/Monterey Bay. Roads are terrible getting to it. #2 You HAVE to where arm bands to identify you as a guest. Because of “non-guests” lurking around. Maybe my safety is not good, if I need to be identified like a Nazi prisoner everywhere I go. #3 Cost $162 for one overnight is a bit much. #4 RESORT FEE? In addition WTF? #5 Saw three Skunks

Staff is courteous and informative. Everything is clean, well organized. Pull through site was great though a bit pricey.

The rv sites are clean, roomy, easy to park into. Efficiency of picking up trash, prepping sisters for the next guests. Friendly staff.

Great memories

Well run campground and pool and kids activity areas. Bathrooms were rough. Some toilets didn’t have enough flush power and people seemed to be leaving sand in the sinks. I did see staff cleaning the bathrooms, but it was maybe just too much for them to keep up with.

Great stay! The best KOA we have stayed at and we have stayed at over 30 across US

We enjoyed our stay very much and was very pleased with how clean the campground was. The staff was friendly and everyone we encountered was helpful and polite. We will definitely return to the KOA Santa Cruz/Monterey Bay.

We love coming here due to the location and the cleanliness of the grounds. The only issue is that if you arrive a couple of hours early and your site is ready, there should be no extra charge to check in to your site. Once you are there, it leaves no choice but to pay it. Sometimes you can't predict traffic or road work time frame when traveling.

It was great and convenient camping except noisy. there were group stay at lodge zone and the group made a noise a lot in the morning and night. though it was not manner time, it was too noisy at 8am and 9pm.

We had an AWESOME stay! We appreciate the hospitality and the warm welcome from all KOA staff. We got to visit with family, meet new people and enjoy the park and its surroundings. Keep up the good work and keep smiling KOA staff :) We'll be back soon!

The campground, and facilities were very clean and well maintained. There were lots of great activities for the kids and the staff were very helpful and friendly.

The facility was really great/clean, staff was super friendly and helpful. I did, however, have a very large & loud group that was staying in the cabins behind me. They were blasting music at all hours, I eventually got staff involved, which did help. But their group really impacted my ability to enjoy the space, causing me to go into town to simply get away from them, to a more peaceful spot.

Amazing stay at the SC/Monterey Bay KOA as always, this was our third time. The staff is all extremely helpful and friendly, the grounds are well kept and clean. They have literally anything you need for an enjoyable stay. It's 5min from Manresa beach, and the playground and other facilities keep the kids busy all day with smiles, thank you!

We had a wonderful stay. Friendly staff, clean facilities and pool. Loved the movie by the pool and bouncy pillow. We’ve already booked our next stay. My granddaughter wants to “live” at the camping house!

An RV had its motor on all night.

I could do without the wrist bands. Why not issue prisoner jump suits.. With the number of employees circulating about the grounds, that should not be necessary. Facility care was good. The last time we visited this KOA was 2018, and we still love your location. JDWills

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!
