Staff is very friendly and outgoing. Sites are well maintained and clean. Lots of amenities and activities for the kids. The store is well stocked and convenient. Great place for novice campers.

We stayed for 4 nights. Our grandchildren had a wonderful time. We were a little surprised to see so many bicycle, scooter and electric bicycles and scooters zipping through the park so fast and without wearing helmets.

1. The sofa bed was HORRIBLE - it made SUPER loud noise. None of us can tolerate sleeping on it so we have 6 people sleep in the two small bedrooms. 2. Riding on the roads is unsafe at all since there are vehicles running there. 3. We arrived on time but missed the baby egg hunt (it started earlier). I asked the staff who handled it and she was like "I can't do anything". All other staff is grea

I have found my happy place. I can’t name one thing that I would change. The sites are pristine and it is the same for all the other services. Thank you for a wonderful vacation from beginning to end.

Loved our stay! Amazing, attentive, and friendly staff always on their game, keeping the entire property clean, operational, and welcoming. Fantastic kids and family spaces and activities. Bathrooms always in good order, showers hot and good pressure, and WiFi was the strongest we’ve experienced at an RV resort. Quiet and peaceful location, with easy access to Monterey/Santa Cruz area.

My family had the greatest stay at Santa Cruz/Monterrey KOA. The Staff was great and the accommodation are awesome. We really enjoyed our time and all the activities.

We absolutely loved our stay. Having four young kids it was nice to stay somewhere that had a LOT of different activities for kids to do. If that wasn't enough you're less than an hour drive north to the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk and less than an hour drive south to the Monterey Bay aquarium. We have determined we will stay here every Spring Break going forward. It'll be a new family tradition.

Monterey Santa Cruz KOA exceeded every expectation. The front desk was incredibly welcoming, grounds were spotless, housekeeping kept everything fresh, and security made it feel safe at all hours. Every staff member goes above and beyond—this isn’t just a stay, it’s an experience. We’ll 100% be back.

I really appreciated working with Kate. She was so responsive and made our stay so straightforward and fun. Leading a group of just under 450 people could have been a lot, but she and the staff helped make sure the whole weekend went smoothly. Looking forward to working together again next year for our annual school camping trip.

One of the nicest KOAs we've been to with lots of activities for kids and adults, daily updates about things to do, decent snack bar, large camp store/market, helpful and friendly staff, and fairly close to area attractions.

Everyone that works there is so friendly. They work so hard keeping the grounds clean as a whistle. We love KOA Watsonville Santa Cruz.�

This was our first visit back to this KOA in almost 2 years. The property is much cleaner and better maintained than before. Lots of upgrades have occurred and are ongoing. The staff was amazing. They were eager to assist in any way possible. They were all so joyful and it was apparent that they are happy to be working at this campground, which only added to our positive experience.

Loved every aspect, especially how clean everything was. I do wish that we were allowed to swim after our checkout time but we were told we had to request a late checkout to swim in the pool after 11am even if we had vacated our site by 11. I've never run into that before and we travel a lot. Great stay overall. Thanks!

Clean cabins and great amenities. Friendly staff. The only thing I didn’t like is that I had to wear a wristband.

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. 😊
