There was so much to do in the surrounding area that we ran out of time! All the employees were amiable and helpful. They did a fantastic job of keeping the place absolutely spotless. We like to start our day with breakfast out and one can't go wrong with Cowboys Corner Cafe or Beach Street Cafe, both in Watsonville. Children and adults would both enjoy Roaring Camp's Redwood Forest Train!

We loved our stay here for 3 nights. The campground is very clean. We took our tent trailer and the site we got was very big. The staff here is so welcoming and helpful. Our kids loved the heated pool and playground area and all the activities going on. We’re already planning our next trip here! Can’t wait to come back! This place is the best!

A little rough, spot not level side to side. Activities didn’t start till after checkout time. Wouldn’t recommend for an overnight stop. Pool excellent but no policing of infants in hot tub, kids jumping in from pool to hot tub. Not a relaxing time. Sorry, we won’t be back�

We have been coming to this KOA every year for about 6 years. I am delighted with the improvements to the park. The staff has always been friendly but this time, when the occasion arose, they engaged in a short conversation. It feels better maintained, the bathrooms seem cleaner, the park has some nice little improvements, the weekend band was pleasant (Last year the band was too loud)

Always a great time. Campsites are well kept and clean and the activities are fantastic for families.

Just got back after a 5 night stay. We had a great time! Loved the pool party and music on Friday and Saturday.. We come there every summer, the tye dye shirts were a lot more expensive than last year and the pink color wasn’t working. Loved that the manager was out hanging with fellow campers too!

Loved it! The warm welcome from the staff is amazing! For how large the property is, you can still get away from all of the excitement and exuberance of youthful energy. We really enjoyed the consistent friendliness of the staff. Thank you!

What a fantastic facility, the staff was so friendly as soon as we arrived, the campground is spotless, and we loved all the amenities. I would definitely recommend this KOA to anyone especially families.

Wonderful stay, but we stayed in 175 and people and kids were constantly walking through our campsite. Maybe you could post signs around the playground to use the walkways and not walk through campsites.

Our stay was picture perfect from beginning to end! Can't wait to come back again!

We enjoyed our stay and liked all the activities you had for kids and families, even though we didn’t have kids with us on this trip.

The campsite and facilities were clean and well maintained. The staff was helpful and friendly. The swimming pool and hot tub were wonderful amenities. I would definitely stay there again.

We brought our grandsons here for their 1st RV Trip. They really enjoyed the bounce pillows & playgrounds. We went to sunset State Beach which was an easy drive from KOA .

Safe, clean, super friendly staff. Very pet and kid friendly. Staff is helpful and kind. Maintenance came through with a part we needed to stop a water leak in our rv. Saved the day.

My husband, myself and our two grandboys love to stay at your KOA. It has so many things to do and everyone is so friendly. Each time we have stayed with you, we have had a very enjoyable experience.

Can’t believe there is no cable. Otherwise, we had a great time.

Our kids said this was the best camping trip they have been on! Staff were incredibly nice, facility was super clean and amenities were the best!

Great for kids of all ages, best for kids under 15! Parents have visibility of the activities and bounce pillows from many different sites in the park. Exploring near by is pretty easy and it’s not too far from trains, boardwalk and the Mystery Spot!

Great for kids

We decided last minute to book a 3 night stay and had a wonderful time! The only feedback I would add, is to have an option for late check out even with an added fee. We initially asked about a later checkout time of 12 to give time to packup after an early morinng soccer game and ended up just booking another night stay and ended up departing around 5pm. Outside of that, everything was great

Great campground for families with kids. We were there with grandchildren and will probably be back at some point with our other grandchildren! Lots of fun activities and very friendly and helpful staff!
Jun 08, 2026
We’ve stayed two times and enjoyed both. It’s a safe space for kids to ride their bikes and scooters and be kids! Our only recommendation is that the 3-way stop in the park become a 4-way stop since those same kids aren’t paying attention to the signs and shoot across that intersection without looking in both directions.

This has become our yearly trip, we just completed our 3rd visit. As always, staff was amazing, grounds are always clean, and there is always plenty for the family to do! Will continue coming!

None the kids activities were running. This happens every year if you guys could please start the kids stuff, the fun train, climbing Palm tree and fun shack a week earlier that would be great.

first time there, clean, welcoming, super Kid friendly, employees were awesome, definitely will recommend Santa Cruz/Monterey to family and friends, we will for be back.

The facility and staff are great. Well maintained grounds. We would have preferred that someone get the children on bikes under control. We walked every evening but encountered undisciplined and screaming children on bikes. They would swarm around us to the point I almost got hit. They displayed no respect for cars. Guidelines and biking etiquette would be helpful.

We enjoyed our stay very much. We our site as a staging area for a dinner and wedding on Friday/Saturday. It was close enough that one of the wedding party could pick us up without a problem (except for Southbound traffic). We will definitely stay again. Friendly respectful staff.

It was a lovely site despite a minor disruption with the water The only downside was due to loads of schoolchildren on a school trip. Very noisy and completely took over the swimming pool, but otherwise a nice site, but out of the way

No Cell phones no video games. I don't have kids but i completely enjoyed being transported back to a simpler time when kids played and enjoyed just being kids. I made a last chance to go camping and really enjoyed being there.

Everyone was super friendly! It was a beautiful KOA with lots of activities for the kids. We loved it and will be back!

We love camping at the Santa Cruz/Monterey KOA. During the week it's not as busy as on the weekend. We are retired and prefer the weekdays. For families there is a lot for the children to do. The Sand Shack has activities during the day, there are jumping pillows, a train that circles the park, playground etc. The beach is a short ride away. Highly recommend.

We were disappointed that you no longer provide cable TV; we still have Verizon FIOS TV and rarely stream anything, so we are not subscribed to hardly any streaming services. That left us with 4 evenings with very little in the way of entertainment.

Staff was very friendly and common areas were clean. Fun events planned on weekends. A quiet perfect midweek stay.

Shay was awesome with great customer service! Grounds well kept as usual & friendly helpful staff.

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. 😊
