A well-rested camper is a Happy Camper! We do our best to ensure Quiet Hours are respected. Sound travels in our hills.  Your idea of a good time may be staying up all night playing charades, but your neighbor's idea of a good time is going to bed early, so he can go fishing at dawn. If you are disturbed by other Guests during Quiet Hours, please call Santa Margarita KOA at (805)438-5618, no matter what time it is.  Phones are answered 24/7. We will tactfully and discreetly address the issue.  Please don't wait until the next morning or the end of your stay to tell us about any noise issue that we can resolve for you.
