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!

Love staying at the Santa Cruz KOA. Great location and activities for the kids. We will definitely be back again.

The pool was very enjoyable. We used it every day. We had a great time. The one thing we’d change or thought could be better was the floor in the cabin. It felt dirty when walked on I. Bear feet or socks. Having a swifter and cleaning pad would have been great. Everyone was friendly, helpful and were happy. We had a great visit.

Stayed at a deluxe cabin and it was perfect for our family. The staff are very helpful and friendly. There’s a lot of things to do. Will stay here again.

We've been going here for decades. It's a happy place for us. The staff is always kind and helpful.

Cabin was clean, having a grill was nice. Quiet clean campground. Well stocked store. Walk to Manresa beach on the train tracks for a sunset bonfire! Caring staff. Heated pool and hot tub.

Everything was great as usual! A little confusion on music time on the 28th. Do we receive special rates when we book early? I receive emails suggesting lower rates but they don’t seem to apply when I book a year in advance. Thanks.

The campgrounds and cabins were very clean all the staff I encountered were very friendly and helpful. Would revisit again in the future

Wonderful stay! Campsgiving was great! Thank you for making our meal special. The kitchen staff is great and very sweet.

This was our first time at a KOA and it was not what we expected. There were so many RV's and it was very crowded. The cabins were tiny and very little room to move outisde of them. The pool was full of unattended teenagers and it was not a great experience for us compared to regular campgrounds

Best KOA ever! The bounce pillow! Fun train — so fun to see it go by with smiling campers! The foods and special events were added fun. And our cabin was a dream. Better than some hotels Weaver stayed in.

Third stay here at KOA Santa Cruz and every visit has been a great time! I love how dog friendly the campground is and the staff is very friendly. Walking down the train tracks for a beach day with my dog is the best!

Our stay was so amazing that we immediately booked our next visit, signed up as rewards members, and will be buying a trailer just so we can enjoy more KOA parks. The staff are friendly and people/service-focused! The grounds were impeccably manicured. There was a sense of pride and "family" among staff. The California Kid is an amazing talent!! One complaint - the showers were a bit dirty.

We love this KOA. We had just one issue which was the cleanliness of our cabins. There was dog hair and silver hair in one cabin with dirt under the beds like it was never swept. Then one of our other cabins had someone’s dirty socks underneath. But all in all staff was amazing and we had fun so I won’t lessen the stars I give.

The location was good. The pool area was nice and it was kept warm. The KOA was near the beach and multiple other sites we were planning on visiting. The cabin cleanliness was lacking. We had to request sheets for one of the beds due to staining. The beds were not very comfortable. For the price we expected more when the hotel down the street was only $50 more per night.

Wonderful. Kind friendly staff. So so much for kids to do. Text message updates on activities really helped us plan our day. We had an amazing time. Thank you.

Your early check-in policy is very customer unfriendly. My family has camped with KOA for many years, but I don’t expect to ever visit a KOA again.

I enjoy this campground, the facilities are lovely. We enjoyed the pool/hot tub, the playground, and the bounce pillow, along with the laundry room. Our cabin cleanliness was disappointing, however when I told the staff they were apologetic and fixed the problem, which is all you can ask for when mistakes happen.
Nov 16, 2025
We were unable to be on the property beyond our check in and check out times. Staff needs more training and better customer service skills.

Phenomenal! Not only was the place clean, organized, and beautiful, but the staff was hands down amazing! They were very friendly, helpful, and more than accommodating to our needs. Great job staff, all of you!!

Absolutely wonderful

We go there alot because we love it but it seems to be going down hill. We rented the loft cabin and had a 11 month old baby and the inside front doors grids were broken and sharp and the baby almost got cut on them. Then we told the front desk that we couldn't get iur fire started the night before cause the wood was wet and they assumed we didn't know how to light a fire and we have been camping

The hot tub and pool are clean and hot, the jump pillow area and playground and outside games provide entertainment space. Beach walkable. Lots of food choices and cool stuff in store

Had an awesome time. The kids had a blast on the pillow, the playground and at the pool. The facilities are always clean. People were very respectful of the quiet hours. I'll be back!

The cabin was very clean and it has both a heater and air conditioning. I thought the bed was very comfy. We were not able to get it as close to the RV's in our group as we would have liked. The price was pretty hefty so I would really have to consider another place if I'm the only one staying in the cabin. The steps were a little difficult to navigate for me but I managed.
Nov 10, 2025
Fun activities but the accommodation was disappointing. $250 for a room with no bathroom and the bar from the bed obstructed the TV. Also, I wanted a cup of ice and the cost was $7.00. Too expensive.

Our stay was great. We’ve been camping for about 5 years. There’s a few things that we feel could be helpful—-train rides-they need to run more than an hour. For the littlest campers the train is a highlight. E bikes/vehicles-children that were riding them were often dangerous. They are speeding around and not paying attention and almost hitting people. Lastly, games for kids should be free.

So much fun enjoying the Halloween festivities! Really appreciate the option to buy food at the camp instead of bringing food. We'll be back again next year!

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. 😊
