I really enjoyed my time there. The surrounding nature was beautiful. Other campers were respectful. My cabin was lovely and warm and clean. I appreciated the quick help of the staff when I was having problems with my heater. I also loved that there was a camp store on site in case I forgot anything.

Quiet spot in a beautiful location. Rv site was just like described. Dog friendly walking paths and a fun dog park in site. Amazing star gazing spot on the grounds and just down the road from hiking and fishing. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

Wonderful campground and such a beautiful area. Campspots are scattered around the wooded area with majestic oak trees. Walking distance to Santa Margarita Lake. Friendly staff as well.

The unit was not fully clean. There was still trash in the trashcans and the tp was out on the roll. Additionally, the shower had no hot water. We tried multiple times to fix it. The wifi is weak and the camp roads are dangerous, dark, and rusted. We were promised a discount and charged in full and the major amenities we paid for didnt work.

We took the 2 grandkids to this KOA in Dec. It was very quiet and we enjoyed the cool air. We loved the giant air pillow and play area. Clean sites and nice employes. We even got to peak inside one of the little cabins. This was our 2nd time and there will be more. Love the area. Thank you!

Our stay was great. The hook-ups were great and were exactly at the right location for my camper. The Site 28 pad was almost level. The fire pit worked great. The water temperature in the showers could have been a little warmer but was tolerable. Thank you for your hospitallity.

Enjoyed our stay at Santa Margarita KOA. The campground was clean and the employees were friendly. I would stay there again in the future.

Nice place, and we have stayed here before. Staff is friendly and helpful. Restrooms generally OK. Long term campers should be reminded not to have long strings of lights on all night and be playing loud movies and games outside.

Very happy with our quick stay here for the spartan race nearby. I am wanting to come back here just to camp and enjoy! It was a great experience and I am looking forward to returning and doing a full on camping experience. Thanks!

Campgrounds were well maintained. The staff were all friendly and helpful! Spots were sized well & the extra amenities for kids were nice!

This location was very beautiful but the KOA itself was a little long in the tooth. The dog park was not open, the frisbee golf area was quite overgrown and it did not seem like much else was well maintained. I loved the deer and the turkeys, and if you walked up to the top, the sunsets are amazing.

Site 30 very uneven. Unable to level properly. Walked the whole area and there are many sites unlevel.Bathroom nearby had mold, dirty in every shower. Some camper had left trash in a sink and that was there all day. Nobody is checking facilities. Hookups were great, area is beautiful of course, but facility staff is not cleaning at all. It is a basic service that needs to be done. Surprises a KOA

We love our Santa Margarita, CA. KOA. The camp sites are well maintained, we love getting our wood delivered, the facilities are very clean, and the staff are always attentive & friendly. We can’t wait for our next trip.

The mattresses in the loft had cracks and holes in them. The mattresses were dirty. The hot water would not come on. When they fixed it, it was too hot. I could not get wifi in the house or on the porch. Staff was very kind.

KOA Santa Margarita is awesome!! We did RV camping there for the first time and had a great experience. I love the size of the sites and how it had a full size table! We checked out the store and loved all the items there. Staff was also amazing! Thank you!

I only gave you an 8 because of how far you are off the Hwy. We loved the peace and quiet. The wildlife was fun to watch. Deer, turkeys, squirrels, woodpeckers, and lots of quail. If you love being in the woods with lots of wildlife, this is the campground for you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The deluxe cabin was immaculately clean and well-maintained. It came equipped with all the essentials, including paper plates, bowls, napkins, utensils, a coffee maker, and a small refrigerator - everything one could need! We appreciated the opportunity to cook outdoors. Additionally, the water pressure in the shower was impressive! We will certainly return.
