Campground Reviews

Dec 25, 2023
We really enjoyed our stay, the first night the little Santa Train was a bit busy. The constant bell ringing on it was a little much. The second day they weren’t ringing the bell as often, which was nice. We will come back again.

We LOVE staying at KOA Watsonville! The amenities such as year round pool/hot tub and rec program set it apart from other campgrounds. The staff are all very friendly. Heather in the general store was super kind! Courtney was so sweet with the kids during the tree palm climb and Cody made the fun train ride a blast! The only bad part was our son’s $1300 bike getting stolen from our campsite :(

The best team works here!! The staff really know how to make it magical for the kids. Loved all the Christmas lights and decorations and the many events provided by staff dressed up in amazing costumes! We will be back.

Weve visited a bunch & stayed in rustic cabins. This time we thought we would get a "nicer " cabin with a bathroom. The cabin seemed very nice, except it had a strange faint smell. The television & the bathroom, even the mattresses were good. However a SKUNK under the cabin, returning to home at 3sprayed. Waking us up with a hideous smell!!! thankfully emergency lineat 4am gave US A NEW CABIN.

Overall the facilities were nice, the floor on the cabin did turn all our socks grey. The laundromat also stained or possibly burned a large portion of my clothes. We did however meet a gem at the front desk, K’lora. She treated us well and definitely made us feel welcomed.

My kids loved riding the Christmas train to eat s’mores at the Christmas village. They had wine and cheese for the adults. The grinch was there and a couple other Christmas characters that made it memorable. We ate breakfast both days of our stay and it was convenient and affordable. The showers are the best showers I’ve ever used at a KOA. The water pressure was amazing!

Greeted by very friendly and helpful staff. Nice spacious slips with paver patio area. No road noise could hear wildlife going asleep (coyotes and Owls). Only advise is to bring cash if your doing laundry no atm nearby. Stayed a week and plan on returning soon.

Wonderful stay. Beautiful park with lots to do. If we had kids, they would never have been bored. Good location for us, near family and beaches.

It was beautiful. The weather was great! The campground had a few other campers and was very clean and well maintained! Staff was very friendly and helpful! Enjoyed our stay!! Additionally, it was fantastic that the county fixed the road at the railroad tracks! �

One night but two nights would have been fun

Staff could not be any friendlier! They were so helpful and nice! KOA was clean, quiet and fun for the family. This is the best one we’ve stayed at and already have recommended it to several people. The location was perfect. The only complaint is the WiFi only worked the first 2 days of our visit.

We had a very nice experience. The campsite was very well maintained and easy to access. The KOA store was well supplied and the staff was excellent. And we enjoyed meeting Mrs. Claus.

We had a GREAT time this weekend at this KOA. There was hardly any people but the staff still participated in the christmas theme activites that my kids loved. The grounds are very clean and well kept, sites as well.

We love the close proximity to beaches and attractions, the well stocked market, the private dog pen, the open acreage in which to walk the dogs. One of our favorite places!

Getaway with the grandkids! Amazing place for kids. So much to do, lots of activities for the whole family. RV site was a little snug, therefore I'm paying the extra money to pick my site next trip. Looking forward to our next trip.

The staff are very friendly! There are lots of activities and socializing events. This is a great Kia for the kiddos with lots to do and a safe environment. The campground is well maintained and attractive.

We are longtime fans of this KOA. We rented 1 RV site and 1 lodge. We did have trouble with the lodge- a skunk was underneath the cabin. The bedroom was very stinky, and he kept our in-laws up all night, chewing, digging, fighting and spraying. We approached a camp host, but the issue was not resolved. We would have loved a move to a new cabin or more help for our second night of the stay.

Loved it there! So clean, well-maintained, and so much to do! Definitely worth the price, and will be going back!

Absolutely loved this KOA! We have stayed at quite a few and this one is AMAZING! We have two young kids and they could have been entertained for days. The staff was great! Would definitely come back again!

We stayed with extended family (five families in all). The KOA staff was very accommodating. We'll be back next year.

The room was very nice.

LOVE KOA!! It’s been amazing finding this. I have a partner who is new to camp life, but prefers glamping. LOL and I have 2 dogs that are unfortunately not allowed at state park campgrounds. So this has been the best investment to find! At KOA everyone’s needs are met with no compromise. We will be back FOR SURE! the doggos were huge fans!

We had cabin 183 over thanksgiving… our refrigerator froze EVERYTHING in the fringe (and there was a lot because of Thanksgiving). We were camping with a large family group. We noticed the office we lost all our food and refrigerator was never fixed. Definitely feel like we should have been compensated for the loss of a couple hundred dollars worth of food.

This is a very nice KOA and definitely a KOA type experience. We checked in quickly and our spot was adequate for our van. The showers in the morning were good but could have been a bit cleaner. That is why the four star rating...

Could not rate rooms as we have a RV. Most excellent service and well maintained grounds in a beautiful setting.
