Wonderful little cabin met all of our needs. Will definitely be coming back

It surpassed our expectations! The cabin we stayed in was charming and immaculate, and the campgrounds were so nice. We were surprised there were so many things to do. We took advantage of the pool and the snack bar for dinner, and really enjoyed the musical entertainment. We would especially like to commend Susan, who registered us on our arrival. She was so welcoming and helpful!

Everything was pretty good. The cement table ping-pong table is not really playable.

We had a good stay overall and really enjoyed the two-room cabin. It was comfortable and worked well for our family. One downside was being next to the path leading to the bathrooms. There was a lot of foot traffic near our window, which was sometimes loud and disruptive and startled our dog. We also noticed someone smoking marijuana nearby.

The staff is so amazing. Very friendly and helpful! Even it the rain, it was a great time.

Our deluxe cabin was comfortable! The location and overall amenities were good. The shower head was a bit wobbly, causing the water temperature to be uncertain. Also, the toilet liked to rumble in the night. An unexpected delight was the pacific frog chorus in the evenings.

They were all awesome.

Somebody came into my cabin & stole my medicine. It was sitting out on counter & I went to car to get some water & when I returned it was gone.. I know where I put it & it is gone. Never coming back & will tell everyone I know it’s not a safe KOA! Sorry but there is a thief/druggie in your place.. been coming here for 20+ years. R lambeth

I really love it! I would be very happy to work and live at the campground so I never have to leave!
Feb 04, 2026
The staff are always super friendly and the facilities and cabins are always clean. This is our favorite KOA. The pool was even nice and warm with it being winter! We had a great time

We had a good weekend in lodge 181 this past weekend. I would just say we found a broken front cabinet door under kitchen sink which we reported. Fix the sliding doors so they lock for bath and bedrooms. Be nice to have privacy without others barging in.

I stayed in a Glamping Cabin and it was great. I was very impressed with how clean and well-maintained the grounds and facilities were. The staff was also very friendly and helpful.

Good experience. I did star gazing in the backyard, but later I found there are much nicer places around. I should have looked around more.
Jan 23, 2026
It was perfect! I needed a cozy place with a fire pit for the evening and the glamping cabin was awesome. Wonderful fire pit, close to bathrooms, showers and the store when I needed more wood. Bed was comfy. Thank you very much!

Staff were friendly and responsive but the cabin smelled like cigarettes and dog, the shower head was green/dirty, and the window blinds had splash stains of I don’t know what. This was our first time staying at the koa, but we will not go again. We had reserved 3 nights at the koa cabin but ended up leaving less than 24 hours after we got there..At the very least the cabin should be clean.

First time at this facility, clean grounds and great amenities. Clean cabins. Hot tub and pool available in January was a huge plus. Probably should trim back the oliander bushes from the fire rings and rake up the dry leaves on the ground though, hate to see a fire caused by that. Good experience nonetheless
Jan 20, 2026
It was absolutely perfect! My kids absolutely loved the location, bouncy pillow, and playground. We went to Santa Cruz to explore the area but had to drag the kids away from the KOA to do it! Thank you for a great time!

Everyone is very very helpful The bathrooms are clean Showers are hot The pool was great The kids playground was wonderful

KOA Santa Cruz/Monterey Bay is a beautiful campground with lots of activities and amenities for the family.
Jan 12, 2026
Staff was super friendly and the site had a lot of activities for the kids.
Jan 10, 2026
The staff is so friendly and accommodating. So many wonderful activities for the kids. They do a good job fixing any broken equipment in a timely fashion. We love staying here and will do it again!

Nice place
Jan 09, 2026
We enjoyed our stay. We rented a cabin. The campground was quiet and peaceful in January. We heard a owl in the evening. We used the pool and Hot tub. The staff was friendly.
Jan 08, 2026
It was ok but the room it was dirty and the cabin did not have a stove, and we have to ask for towels. The pool it was dirty and the jacuzzi too.
Jan 06, 2026
You get charged for a full day but you don’t get to use the facilities for a full day

It was great 2 cabins were nice and comfortable. It rained but we still had a great time at pool.
Jan 05, 2026
First time camping here. Stayed in one of the cabins. It was New Year's. Lots of things for the children to do. Nice heated pool and Jacuzzi. Not one thing to complain about!
Jan 05, 2026
Staff was amazing, always friendly and welcoming. Enjoyed the nightly entertainment and can’t forget the amazing grilled cheese sandwiches!!! �ϋ��ϋ��ϋ�

Very friendly, nice cabin amd facilities, goid location. Additional k cups and creamer should be free- seems like a weird way to nickle and dime guests. Otherwise very nice and fun.

Great place for families. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.

We had a great stay. Super kid friendly and my daughter had the time of her life. We will definitely be back.My only complaint would be the cabin we stayed in, number 232, smelled strongly of sewage. It was fine if we kept the bathroom door shut, but if we didn’t, it was pretty bad. So some plumbing upgrades may be needed..

Grounds are beautiful, love the on-site options and variety, ideal location near the beach, staff were amazing, cabin was clean, front area was spacious and overall very peaceful all around. Unfortunately, the bed was uncomfortable with a mattress that felt like it had holes and the linens were too stiff and airy.

This place is very busy park. Lots of Cabins and lots of people. Very loud even at night so if you're looking for a quiet place this is not it. Loylts of amenities for kids though. Showers were pretty dirty, hair and grime all over. Two of three toilets someone had just dumped all the toilet paper in. Again it's not terrible but I prefer smaller quieter KOA's.

This KOA is beautiful. The people were very nice and pleasant to talk to.

First time ever at a koa. We were in a deluxe cabin and it worked out well. A little tight for basically 5 adults but it worked. Also out first time taking our dog on vacation and while he was annoying, the dog centric facilities were good. The runs had a lot of holes though. The location was great and the manesa? Beach was perfect. I'll also add that the staff was super friendly and helpful.

Wonderful. Lots of activities. Great WiFi.

Everything was great except on Sunday I had my grandsons wait til after the 11 am checkout traffic cleared to rent some bikes. We went to the bike store which was open but said they couldn’t rent any bikes because they were closing! Employee said they close because Sundays are slow but he was turning away customers. Really? It was a sunny day and kids are out for winter break. Disappointed boys!

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. 😊
