Be aware when renting KOA cabins you have to bring your own linens, pillows and blankets.

We had a big group of 68 people. Thanks for Karen and Michelle for arranging the big site for us. The facility and utilities were just perfect. We stayed at KOA last year. Definitely will be back next year.

This is a great campground, especially for kids. Wilderness, kids things and large camp sites. The downside, the infrastructure needs lots of updating and cleaning.

We came in on Tuesday, before the Memorial Day crowds. The campground was quiet, our site was perfect, easy to back our trailer into. Everyone was friendly & helpful, they delivered firewood and a camp chair, which we had forgotten. Our 5 yr old granddaughter loved the Jumping Pillow park, & we loved the pool! The campground is close to the lake .Our stay was enjoyable, we will probably be back!

As locals, we are embarrassed to say we’ve never been to Santa Margarita KOA. Recently a friend mentioned it, so we made a trip. The staff were very accommodating, as Daisy, Michelle & the ENTIRE CREW were so friendly. The people have a great vibe & it’s a hidden gem tucked away in the back country. They have clean facilities, yurts, cabins, great camp sites & a pool. Loved it & we be returnin

We had a wonderful time as always. We would like to say a special thank you to Daisy who was so kind to our family. She opened up the party yurt so my kids could do arts and crafts even though we were there a little late. Then she opened the front office, even though it was closed, so that we could purchase firewood and ice cream for the kids. She went above and beyond to make our stay great!

We enjoyed our stay but we never could get WiFi to work. Cell phone coverage was very very spotty.

Well, my husband and I made it extream clear the size if our rug. Semi pulling 38 foot toy hauler. We're told no pull thru but back in easy access. Not true. Mad skills for driving my husband pulled it off. And their was a roughly 130 foot pull thru empty. The computer system wasn't working. That's a whole long story in it's self. Said would deliver free fire wood. Never showed up.

We enjoyed our stay in this KOA. Very spacious with tons of trees. The bathroom was clean. We stayed in cabin 23 which was pretty private and close to the bathroom. The lake is just a few minutes drive from the campsite.

We had a wonderful time at the Santa Margarita KOA Holiday, We had a beautiful pull through site, shady and very well maintained. We were able to set up quickly and start enjoying the beautiful surroundings. We went exploring and discovered that this campgrounds had everything you might need as a camper, cabins, tent sites, trailer and motorhome sites and there were a wide variety.

Beautifull scenery , great playground , restrooms could be updated (but that´s the icing of the cake), friendly and supportive staff, lots of animals to see....turkeys, squirrels,........nice site , stayed at #27 which is almost the whole day in shadows of the trees Would recommend to everyone to stay there and enjoy the nearby lake Santa Margarita as well, great hiking spots and also watercraft

A great meeting place for family and friends - met up with some friends that moved away we camped and took hikes around the lake and visited while hanging around the fire ring at night. Close to both Ancient Peaks winery and Paso Robles - Great visit with great weather

Amazing hospitality and convenience. They have what is lacking in so many other campgrounds. They even dropped off complimentary wood. I stayed in Cabin 20 and it was a great spot

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.
