We stayed for 4 nights. Our grandchildren had a wonderful time. We were a little surprised to see so many bicycle, scooter and electric bicycles and scooters zipping through the park so fast and without wearing helmets.

I have found my happy place. I can’t name one thing that I would change. The sites are pristine and it is the same for all the other services. Thank you for a wonderful vacation from beginning to end.

Loved our stay! Amazing, attentive, and friendly staff always on their game, keeping the entire property clean, operational, and welcoming. Fantastic kids and family spaces and activities. Bathrooms always in good order, showers hot and good pressure, and WiFi was the strongest we’ve experienced at an RV resort. Quiet and peaceful location, with easy access to Monterey/Santa Cruz area.

We absolutely loved our stay. Having four young kids it was nice to stay somewhere that had a LOT of different activities for kids to do. If that wasn't enough you're less than an hour drive north to the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk and less than an hour drive south to the Monterey Bay aquarium. We have determined we will stay here every Spring Break going forward. It'll be a new family tradition.

I really appreciated working with Kate. She was so responsive and made our stay so straightforward and fun. Leading a group of just under 450 people could have been a lot, but she and the staff helped make sure the whole weekend went smoothly. Looking forward to working together again next year for our annual school camping trip.

One of the nicest KOAs we've been to with lots of activities for kids and adults, daily updates about things to do, decent snack bar, large camp store/market, helpful and friendly staff, and fairly close to area attractions.

Everyone that works there is so friendly. They work so hard keeping the grounds clean as a whistle. We love KOA Watsonville Santa Cruz.�

Loved every aspect, especially how clean everything was. I do wish that we were allowed to swim after our checkout time but we were told we had to request a late checkout to swim in the pool after 11am even if we had vacated our site by 11. I've never run into that before and we travel a lot. Great stay overall. Thanks!

We just purchased our first MotorHome. This was the first time I had driven it or my wife and I had used it. Everyone of the KOA employees were very friendly and extremely helpful. The campgrounds were clean neat. Just a little worried about the many children (as young as ten years old) and adults zipping around the grounds at way more than the posted speed of 5mph riding electric vehicles. Scary!

Second visit. Very well up kept with all the activities for kids and parents you can imagine

We had a beyond amazing stay at the KOA. The staff is super friendly and goes out of their way to accommodate. We have already booked our next trip there

plenty of activities for kids and adults plus friendly helpful staff.

The campgrounds were very clean, well maintained, staff was very helpful and friendly. There were plenty of things to do for the kids and relaxation for the adults. All-in-all it was a great stay and we look forward to coming back again. Thank you, Ike G.

We had an accident when dumping and the night shift employee was so nice and helpful. He cleaned it up quickly and we were able to move to another spot and enjoy our night.
Mar 23, 2026
Staff was very friendly and helpful. There were lots of activities for kids and grown ups, we especially liked the live music. We felt very safe staying there as well.

We have visited KOA's for the past 25 years-never this one- and by far this is the best of them all! Every single employee acknowledged us from beginning to end of stay with a wave or hello- coming from a business owner myself this location rates a 10 + on our scale - we will return again �

This isn’t families favorite place to go. So may things for us to partake in. Manresa beach is so close and easily accessible. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The rules seem to have gotten a little stricter, which in my opinion are for the better (when it comes to check in times and visitors). We are already planning our future trips.

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. 😊
