Thank you! We think the Santa Margarita KOA staff is the "Best in the West!" They love to serve our guests. We hope to see you again soon.

We call it the "KOA Diet & Workout Plan!" Hiking the hills and steps helps our staff and Guests get their 10,000 steps/day!

Our first time camping there , and everyone there were so friendly. We brought our boat and they were so accommodating with where we could park it. We had such a great time and we will definitely be back.

This campground made this trip all together a bad experience. Early in the morning, the electricity went out and did not work at all. There was no notice or anything about electricity not working and no updates on it. The pool, the only amenity that was there, was very dirty and smelled like someone dumped Clorox. The showers only had cold water and was stuck to the wall making it hard to shower.

The night time operator is not a nice guy. One night is no electric power and the cabin no AC and it only has fan. My family cannot sleep hope night.

We loved staying at the KOA. It was very clean and had lots of activities for the kiddos. We will definitely be back. My kids didn't want to leave.

Relaxing, saw a lot of good changes, sorry to hear weather conditions did a lot of damages but all prevail, just only one thing did have concerns, the huge boulders blocking passage on some cabins,

Wifi does not work. Road needs maintenance and bathroom road was blocked by campers. I could not walk through it and it was far for toilet. Not worth the price. I will not recommend. It was dusty and there was a notice to boil water.

Had an amazing time. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We were in a tent site and had very close access to dishwashing station and trash can. Bathrooms were very clean and well maintained. It is close to the lake and within 20-25 minutes from pismo. Only negative but not within there control anyways would be our site was all dirt could have used some grass or atleast pee gravel.

The bathrooms weren’t very clean, and the doors on the shower stalls were quite short. They seemed to have plenty of activities and things to do though which is nice.

The campground is very old school. It's dirt and trees. It is so quiet. We didn't hear a siren the entire time we were there. The grounds are hilly, so bring hiking shoes. There isn't much to do up here. That's just what we were looking for. Our site was amazing. one of the biggest sites we've ever had. If you want to get in touch with Mother Nature, this is your spot. We will return.

It was a wonderful time it was just my gradaughter and I and I felt safe in our little cabin and we had a lot of fun with the activities and hay ride and movie was a bonus! Thank you!

Great stay at SM KOA in full hook-up site. Location was clean and allowed for easy backing in and leveling. We stayed during the middle of the week and there was hardly anyone there. Everyone we met was friendly and the nights were quiet. Great stay and close to fishing at Santa Margarita Lake, a favorite spot of ours.

We had so much fun celebrating 8th grade graduation by staying at your cabin. The girls had an amazing time and even caught their first fish at the lake. We enjoyed walking around taking photos of nature, swimming, the jumping pillow, having a campfire and playing family board games. The staff is amazing and hard working. All of your efforts to make families have a fun time did not go unnoticed.

The staff are incredibly helpful, kind, and thoughtful. While I might have been a little disappointed in the site we had, it was mostly because I waited until last minute to reserve and there wasn't much left on a holiday weekend. The camp is clean, quiet at night, and the weekend extra events were special. I highly recommend this KOA - it's the 2nd time we've been there, & we'll be back!

Shower block was clean and tidy, shower heads are very low. Water in the taps comes out brown. water wouldn't work at the camp kitchen Only booked 1 night, and didn't meet any staff, they may have been able to help with the camp kitchen and water

Wolf and Lisa are the best hosts! We love this place and come back every year. The kids make all sorts of new friends and play the whole time which gives us parents a lot of relaxation time. The sites are clean and spacious and love the new patio editions to some of them. The crafts and activities are great too, especially the tie dying and pool parties! Highly recommend this place to families.

Everything is always nice and clean at this KOA. The staff is super friendly and professional. We have been at this KOA the past 3 Memorial Day weekends. Great place…we love it! If I had one suggestion would be to remove the weeds in the movie night area. If you take your dog the fox tails get stuck all over them.

We had a great trip the Santa Margarita KOA. The staff was amazing!!!!!!! The only complaint I would have is the WIFI signal was very weak and sometimes was not working. I just dealt with it. I did not inform staff of my issue. Thanks again KOA staff YOU ROCK.......

We always have the best time here! Pool is nice and the studio cabin is small but just enough. I thought the fridge would be too small but held all our good for the 3 days we stayed. We cannot wait to go back! Best koa we have been too with things to do for the kids.

Karen, Daisy, and Michele were amazing. We had a Family event and these ladies went out of their way to help me and my family and gave us a seamless and amazing experience. Definitely planning my next reunion here. Thank you so much!

This is an excellent place if you need a fully equipped cabin down to a tent campsite. Being built into a hillside allows more privacy between sites than you would expect from a typical KOA experience. The hosts are very helpful and very accommodating. Can't say enough about what makes this a step above the typical KOA location as it has been for decades.
