I'm excited to return. So much for the kids to do. Beautiful property. I had a small issue and they went out of their way to fix it. Looking forward to returning.

Or cabin 210 was quite dirty (smelled like feet, floor hadn't been swept). Ok if you're expecting to camp, but every other koa we've stayed at the cabins were in much better condition. The grounds were great!

This is the best KOA in Northern California! We have stayed here a few times before - even in the off season, there’s lots for the kids to do. The location is great for the beach and nearby attractions. We love the camp store and the employees are super friendly!

We didn’t have a chance to utilize the things on campus, due to all our tourist goals. It was accessible to Big Sur, and it was a great place to camp in the evenings. What we would request improvement on the deluxe cabin is that included linens could have included more blankets for the cooler nights. We had some very responsive staff and the cabin was well stocked in the small kitchen.

We have been here a few times before few years ago and enjoyed our stay here. The only complaint We had that the WIFI was very crappy. This time the Wi-fi was very strong and very fast. We could even stream videos.

We received excellent service from the staff at the time of reservations until time of check out. Upon arrival they helped us change our cabin number to one closer to some friends that were in RV's with smiles on their faces. The facility has amazing amenities and is kept spotless. The best KOA we have ever visited.

Santa Cruz Koa is AMAZING! It is one of our favorite places and family traditions we love to go every year . We have been staying there since 2016 for 10 years now. The owner and staff are awesome! Wish we could go more often, Can’t wait until next time!
Apr 20, 2026
We stay every year and it never disappoints! The staff are friendly and prompt with all of our needs. The grounds are meticulous. I tell everyone I know to stay here!
Apr 20, 2026
Every staff member we encountered was friendly and engaging! The cabin we stayed in was clean and frankly adorable. The "dive in" movie was genius. My kiddo had an absolute blast watching a movie while swimming. The only bad part about our stay was having to leave...wish we booked a full week!

Very nice except many of the kids attractions were closed on a Thursday…. Too bad

My family and I enjoyed our first stay at this KOA. It was beautiful all the trees and activities. Also staff was very friendly. We will definitely come back!
Apr 17, 2026
This stay as amazing stay. The office staff helped us change our reservation when we arrived so we didn't have to set up our tent in the pouring down rain.. thanks to all that helped us it was greatly appreciated. The cabin put us within 90 minutes of all the places we really wanted to see.. played the pebble beach golf course.. did the 17 mile tour.. santa cruz and a day in san franscico
Apr 16, 2026
It would be nice to have more activities for the kids to participate in- most were only 30 minutes long and we either made it or missed it.
Apr 15, 2026
When we arrived we were pretty late. The front staff were very friendly and helpful. All staff on grounds were so nice and friendly very welcoming. The cabins were very clean . Grounds are well maintained all the facilities were open and well cared for. Thanks

It was Good!! However, We went there to regroup, watch , TV, & hear the rain. The TV didn’t or wouldn’t connect. 2 workers worked at it . The 1st guy over an hour the 2nd guy ended up putting in His Own Personal Info so we could have TV. That was kind of him. But, of course we lost that info after the power went back on. KOA is Great, but please make it easier for anyone to use the TVS.

This was the first time in over 10 stays at this location that I found staff to be unfriendly and even confrontational at times during the check in process. I also found different staff I knowledgeable about rebooking for the same cabin the following year at the time of check out.
Apr 12, 2026
Staff nice, camp grounds well kept and clean. Lots of things to do. My only complaint is the mold and ants in cabins. The mold is visible and caused lots of coughing. We stayed in delux cabin 83. The cabins are not cheap, please address mold issues.

Beautiful campground with friendly staff! Cabin bed was comfy, everything was clean, the food was delightful, and live music was fantastic! So many things for kids and families to do here. Great location near the beach. Highly recommend this camping experience! 10/10!
Apr 11, 2026
Had a great first time at SANTA CRUZ/MONTEREY BAY KOA. Perfect place to bring the kids. We will be back forsure!!
Apr 11, 2026
Everything was perfect except the beds. My wife , Kidd and I thought the beds need to have new wood planks they bow in the middle. Other then that perfect stay!

Birdie (our cat) had an amazing stay in the new cabin! So did her people, too! She enjoyed strolls through the campground early in the morning and watching the campfire and all the pets and people that strolled by the cabin.Thank you so much for allowing us to have this experience (she is our family) and we will be back to meet again up again next spring. ♥�� Have a happy, fun summer! �

Great place for kids! Very friendly staff and it is clean and well taken care of.
Apr 09, 2026
With >10 stays here- the staff just keeps getting more and more wonderful! When our boys were little there were endless activities to keep them busy- now that they are teens and one even 18, there is still so much to do (bikes, basketball, volleyball, swim etc.). We also go to the state beach down the road and it is truly magical at sunset. Seascape Village up the road has any extras you need.

Amazing stay. The most comfortable cabin ive slept in. Everything is clean and well kept. Its our first time staying in a KOA and im glad I chose this location. We love it so much we're already booked for next year.

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.

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

Great employees. Everyone so nice and welcoming! My grandchildren loved the warm pool .

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. 😊
