Lovely place in nature, so silenced on a hill! Clean and beautiful! Friendly people all the time!

We will come back!

It is a really interesting KOA on a hillside. I like the variety of sites and wildness of the place. The staff was helpful, but a little distracted as we interacted with them. I felt like we had 1/2 of their attention when we were checking in between 8-9pm. They intended to put out a map with key, but it wasn't there when we arrived. Fortunately we had a phone to call and get some help in 15 min.

We came to celebrate our son’s 4th birthday and his first camping trip. It couldn’t have been better! We can’t wait to go back. The staff were so incredibly kind and helpful too! The jumping pillow is incredible!!

Lovely views, nice newer patio area. Enjoyed it!

The jumping pillow was not blown up in the mornings early enough (9:30 is too late) causing issues among the children who were waiting to play. The roads need to be paved better and lastly, the signage is poor so it’s difficult to get in and out.

Great space on premium sights. Unreliable internet if you want to watch TV entertain your kids at nights Great stuff for kids during the day Wildlife is lovely. Management is reliable for issues.

I liked the clean amenities, proximity to nice attractions (ziplines, horseback rides, dunes, lake) and outdoor common areas (bouncy pillow, vb court) . Didn't love the campground's layout (a bit inconvenient and counterintuitive to get around) and limited space for the campsite. VB court wasn't in a great shape due to a soggy net and lack of court lines.

Not very good

Very nice and clean site. It was a pleasure to awaken seeing/hearing quails and wild turkeys in the morning!

We just stayed the night, spent most of the time at the lake for my fathers celebration of life. The cabin was perfect for our needs. Clean and in great shape. Got it for the included bathroom. Getting to old to hike to the bathrooms. Wish we had more time to explore the camp grounds.

Great staff

The kids had a blast. My wife not so much, she didn't like traversing the hilly terrain. So if you have troubles walking on fairly steep hills, this isn't the place for you. Otherwise it is great and the people working there are great too.

Front desk lady very very nice and professional. Way to much dirt, I mean we camp off grid all the time so we are used to dirt. The roads should be rocked or chip and seal. Everyone and I mean even the employees don't abide by the speed limits. Its a dust bowl. Pretty location bathrooms clean just you need to do something for the dirt roads at $115 per night NO WAY!!!!!

Our favorite KOA so far. We’ve returned twice and can’t wait until next time.

Wonderful time, so clean and quiet, the wildlife is amazing, will be coming back, soon

clean quiet peaceful. Very private campsites. This property is better suited for people who are able to walk up and down hills and stairs easily.

The campground is clean and has everything that you need. The bathrooms are clean, but dated and there were allot of stairs to climb to get to the bathroom/bathhouse, so that might be a consideration for some. Our site had electricity/water/sewer, but we only used the electricity for overnight. The cap was missing on the sewer and I found a nail in the parking area.

We come here every year with our family. We love this place! This past trip we had some problems with our cabin and the manager was so responsive and helpful. She offered us a different cabin to make sure we were comfortable. We had a wonderful stay and will be back again next year!

Had an AMAZING stay! The kiddos were so happy the entire weekend and did not want to leave. The pool was cold, but they still had fun! The bathrooms were clean, and all staff were very friendly! Already planning another trip!

Site 9 is right next to the sewer pump station, for which a premium is charged. Site 9 should not be a camp site . Will come again, but not site 9.

Love the staff, but you can tell they are not supported and trying to keep up with demands. The dirt roads & trees need tending to, and the dog park needs attention. We’ve asked prior for dog park to be maintained, but falls on deaf ears. Would be nice to have an off-leash USABLE area. Great KOA spot, but we noticed it’s been declining and lacking the care it needs. So, we give it a 7.

A very family friendly camp ground. This is a great place for kids.
May 03, 2026
Very welcoming, and helpful. Will be back.

Both ladies in the office were helpful and great personalities! But there was a dog that barked from 10:15 - 10:35PM!!!

Thank you for an excellent stay!

The camp was clean and well maintained, but we had zero cell phone reception and the WiFi was horrible. Half the time it didn’t work and the other half the bandwidth was so low we couldn’t do anything with it. Given what we paid I was very disappointed.

Friendly staff. Great playground for kids. Campsite was clean and well maintained, with water and electricity. Restrooms were acceptable. Location is not too far from SLO.

Beautiful grounds. Plenty to do for the entire family.

The KOA is kept up really nicely and the staff were great and very helpful

It was different than other KOA's. I liked how it's set on the side of a hill. The sites were nice and wide.

It was a lovely campground. I really liked the cabin we stayed in. The staff was very polite and helpful. I loved seeing the wild animals around the campground like turkeys, quail, and deer. I hope to return some day.

We stayed at the “Fish Bowl” site at KOA Santa Margarita and had a great experience. The site was clean and private. The campground was very close to the lake, less than a five minute drive. We saw a variety of wildlife during our stay which added to our experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The site is a great spot for a quiet, scenic getaway. We would definitely stay here again

The staff were so friendly and welcoming. We arrived and the office was closed for lunch, our pass was outside waiting for us. We went straight to our site and set up. Our site housed the sewer so we set up with our tent and trailer as far away as we could. The smell was bad at times but the site was large enough so we didnt have to sleep with it. Having a game room would be a great addition.

Clean and friendly environment for the family.

I love that the lake is very close by. I feel like the spots are very very small and all dirt. Most koa at least have gravel. It rained and cause of lots of water puddles everywhere. With the hills and drop offs we decided to leave a day early our whole group before the rain and puddles got worst. I think the Koa needs some maintenance work so when it rains it doesn’t become like that.

We had the best time, we will definitely be back.

The lady at the front desk was the best part of our stay! She was so sweet and helpful to us and our kids. The place is fun, cabin looked new and clean, bathroom/shower was wonderful. Lots of hills but it an easy walk. Only negative thing was that just way too many pick up trucks were driving fast up and down the main area, and we had to stop so many times when we were on our bikes.

My review is 5 stars because I like the hilly walks, the nature and my kids did too. But I have to juxtapose that to my wife who had challenges and her father had challenges too. This KOA is top tier if you are looking for Southern California nature. But if you have mobility issues, or looking for something more urban, it is probably a no go.
