The nicest lady at the front desk greeted us immediately when my girlfriend and I walked in, her name was Kim Ann. She was the sweetest and most informative person imaginable. We ended up loving the campsite and the attractions. We fed an Emu, jumped on the jumper till we couldn't and swam in the pool on the hottest days. We stayed an extra night in a cabin, it was amazing!

Everyone was so friendly. Great spot for base camp. Vineyards all around. Great Antiques in Santa Margarita and San Luis Obispo Can't wait to go back.

The staff are friendly and welcoming. The bounce pad was fun for my kids. We enjoyed the pool for four hours. The pool was really cold and refreshing on a hot day but if you go on a colder day then you may want to skip it.

We love Santa Margarita KOA! Our stay was so pleasant! Kim was so helpful and she's always smiling! This is our second time staying at santa margarita this year! We just wish that the slope at our cabin wasn't so steep! We almost couldn't make it at the top..hahaha! Other than that everything was perfect we'll just choose a lower cabin next time! Love! Love! Santa Margarita!

We were very disappointed that there were no activities for kids. On the website it’s displayed like there was a lot of stuff going on.

Great kampground but very busy

A very nice campground with good space between sites and clean grounds. I arrived late...about 8 PM and still a woman greeted me as she was leaving the office and offered assistance. I love the small cabins. So simple yet functional. This is my favorite place to stay near San Luis Obispo.

Dirty and inconvenient!

I was in RV site 27, it is a little dangerous due to the extreme slop on the utility side, I would suggest enforcing the hillside with either cement blocks or railroad ties and then leveling the sit as there is a dramatic slop downward to site 26. The grounds were extremely clean and very kid friendly. I would suggest for a family or group of families, not really a place for a single couple.

Nice quiet campground. There’s nice play area for kids and Emu on site for kids to see. Pen for Emu is really small kind of feel sorry for it.

I’ve been to KOA camps since the 80s and this one is beautiful, but our site was tight. If we had brought two cars, not sure if they would have fit. The main issues were the lack of privacy between sites (too close) and no site administrators making rounds to quiet down campers past 10 - I had to yell extremely loud at other campers after 11 PM to shut off music and stop singing - ridiculous!

Dirty and dusty. The restroom/showers were abominable.

Super happy to be back. Everybody in the office was so nice and helpful. We brought a big group of about 50 campers with us and many are planning to come back! The foam party was awesome, kids were grateful for the movie and next time we have to jump on the GLOW HAYRIDE :)

We stayed in a cabin and absolutely had THE best time. Kids had lots to do and staff was super friendly and attentive.

Very hard to get to the bathroom, water spigot was damaged and could not connect a hose, need more shade, otherwise an ok trip...

We live next to the generator the whole 4 days it was on every single minute. It doesn't feel like we are camping in nature but rather living on a construction site. The cabins some of the families stay in don't have electricity when they plugged in an appliance. Very inconvenient.

It’s a beautiful area with stars very clearly visible at night and a gorgeous lake a half mile away. Only thing that I didn’t like was that it was super hot and that it was also super dusty. The nice pool is a great way to cool off though! Very close to San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach and Hearst Castle (an hour away).

My grandkids had a amazing time, so much for them to see and do. They loved Kevin the Emu and the pool. Can’t wait to come back! Matt

It was probably just the time of year but there were way too many bugs and dirt for us! Bathrooms were not as clean as I would have liked. We stayed at campsite 22, i liked being so close to the bathroom, but would be better if the bench by the bathroom wasnt there, would have felt more private for us.

I simply enjoy the setting and atmosphere at this wonderful campground. Kim, Michelle, Daisey are always polite and informative, They make you feel part of their KOA family. With the lake nearby this my "go to" place to stay when camping. Thanks to All! And I noticed that your constantly improving things.. Looks Great!!

Really enjoyed our stay. Very nice campground! Only problem was the accessibility to the bathroom where our yurt was located. The pathway has been eroded away, and is in need of repair. If not for this, I would rate five stars instead of four.

The gal that checked me in was great, loved her. My site had trash left on the ground; the bathroom stalls were very small and the shower drain was plugged.

It is wonderful to camp here. Kim made checking in comfortable and easy. All staff is so polite too.

The emu, the bouncer, the movie night, the pool, the scenery, and the drive out there was all a great experience!!

KOA is a wonderful family friendly place to stay. My kids enjoyed the foam pit, jumping pillow, painting and other activities. I am looking forward to having many more family vacations with KOA

Great staff. Awesome amenities.

We arrived at 6:30pm with no way to get wood or ice. There is a radio you use to call for help at the desk but no one answered multiple calls. No one answered the phone number either. We stayed at Petaluma and it was only $86 and that place is great. How is santa margarita $95!? I would understand if it was cheaper but it was more for way less.

I really enjoyed staying there the staff is very nice the place is very very nice and my kids and grandchildren nieces and nephews sisters and my father really had a wonderful time definitely would recommend it and definitely plan on attending again
