Nice place. Staff was very friendly and patient with my questions. We will definitely stay here again. I will also be purchasing a KOA membership after this visit.

Very nice, well kept grounds. 3 dog parks for our furry friends, fenced in areas for your rv, playground, year-round pool/hot tub, big store with lots of selections. The staff is friendly and we’ll definitely be back.

Great stay. Friendly staff, clean park, and nice facilities. Even with the rain, we had a great time. Staff member Jim went above and beyond to help us with a 30 amp adapter problem. Thank you Jim!

We paid for a paw pen site, but it had flooding issues (which we brought up as a concern when checking in since my brother was there). When we first set up there was a big puddle and staff handed us a push broom to deal with it ourselves. The 2nd morning the puddle was back (sprinklers had ran) and again we were given a broom. So when it rained the entire site was underwater. Not great experience.

I loved it , but the bike rentals should have had longer hours. There were so many kids and not enough bikes and time for the kids to go.

The staff is very friendly and they have tons of activities for families and kids. We stayed over Christmas and they made it feel like home. Facilities are very clean. The campground has lots of beautiful trees and landscaping that make the grounds very pretty.

We stayed in site 106. The view from the deck was very beautiful with all the Christmas lights! We do have an important recommendation: Add another layer of larger rocks over the small gravel pebbles. It took us an extra hour to clear out all the gravel from our trailer before we could check out. The gravel can get caught under the slides and damage the floor we the slides are retracted!

We had a great first time there in Santa Cruz/Monterey Bay Koa. Great place to meet up with family, so many activities for the children and right by the beach! The staff was so kind and informed, the store on site is stocked very well and delicious ice cream. We will definitely be back again!

Everything was great. The kids loved the holiday activities and the staff was so friendly and welcoming! We want to stay again during the summer.

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.

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.
Dec 15, 2023
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! �

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.

Nice campground and amenities, friendly staff, excellent activities for families and kids, and great location central to area attractions.

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.

Our site was clean and very nice, great table and chairs, new and not damaged or run down, the patio area was nice and clean , when pulling up it was like wow this looks really nice, almost no dirt anywhere which was very nice with a toddler with us, a great spot and I will be back again

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.
Dec 05, 2023
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.
Dec 05, 2023
Loved it there! So clean, well-maintained, and so much to do! Definitely worth the price, and will be going back!
Dec 04, 2023
We stayed with extended family (five families in all). The KOA staff was very accommodating. We'll be back next year.
Dec 04, 2023
Enjoyed our stay. The staff and maintenance team were very helpful and welcoming. Thank you!! Already booked our next visit!!

Very nice campground. Lots of things to do. Convenient to Santa Cruz and Monterey. Set up for kiddo activities. Serve breakfast and dinner. Main road from Highway 1 is in need of repair. GO Slow.

Beautiful spacious lots. All the staff were amazingly helpful ! Very close to all the attractions at Santa Cruz/Monterey and Carmel by the Sea.

The only good thing was the pool/ hot tub. Power went out Thanksgiving night. We were freezing and had to walk across the park to shower. When we were late 29 minutes for check out because of these inconveniences they were rude and all the activities were expensive considering the price of the spot ( 120 off peak no sewer crazy rate) even the coffee $2.50 really you’re not Starbucks.
Nov 29, 2023
To expensive Didn’t have wifi reception at our site. Showers were closed Power was off in the washrooms in the morning

Great stay. Staff was great to deal with.Very clean around the park.

We had electrical issues in are site and got timely help. The bathrooms and showers were clean. We camped with family and had a great time. The only thing I didn’t like was the lady would not give me printed receipts for the 3 sites I paid for. Just told me she emailed to me.
Nov 28, 2023
Meet up with family for Thanksgiving. Spent a fabulous 5 days. Visited the beach and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Enjoyed all of the great activities. Planning our next camping trip already.

I stayed at this campground on 4/6/24, that was my second time there, we loved the cabin. The site has great accommodations, very family oriented, however, there's also Glamping cabins like the one we stayed that are very cozy and makes for a great couples getaway, super close to the beach 3-5min drive. Awesome place 10 out 10.

We just arrived home after a fantastic weekend here. We stayed in our camper, so cannot attest to the cabins, but it was so lovely to have full hookups (including a dog pen for our fluffy family member). The whole site was amazing and there was always something for the kids to do and our kids were so happy. The playground and jumping bag was such a huge hit, as was the heated pool. Just be warned - there is a “make your own pixie stick” machine in the store. Thankfully my kids didn't realize what it was haha All of the staff that we came across were so lovely and kind. Can't wait to come back!
