Staff was extremely helpul and very hospitable. This was our first time visiting a KOA and they were helpful in getting us set up. Great job by the team!

We had a lovely time, the cabin was clean the amenities were plentiful. We would have loved to have had the egg hunt or movie night on Friday as we traveled back home Saturday to spend Easter at home. We will return

The manager Wolf, made this the worst experience. Liked the facility and proximity to the lake, the rest of the staff was very helpful. I would not return if this same individual is there. Everything seems to be an inconvenience to him and very argumentative.

We have been staying at the Santa Margarita KOA for years. I’m not sure what changed. The manager named Wolf Was very aggressive, unprofessional and rude. Also we have no power for our stay stay and the main store was running on a generator that kept shutting down. A manager Should be the person D escalate in a situation, not the person creating the situation and escalating it.

It’s always a wonderful experience! My friends and I stay here every time we have a vacation and it’s always clean, quiet, and just perfect. The entire staff is wonderful and so sweet, not to mention very accommodating when it comes to getting firewood after store hours haha. We’ve come back three or four times not only because it’s a safe area, but because everyone is so friendly!

I have stayed here many times over the years. I think my first visit was over 30 years ago. The campground has never looked better. Everything appears well maintained and I could see many upgrades since the last time I was there. The maintenance staff deserves a big shout out and of course the office staff were very friendly and welcoming as usual.

It has has been a long time since we stayed there but they have really upgraded the facilities. The staff was very helpful and responsive. The experience became a great, short weekend. We will have to stay longer next time.

We enjoyed Cabin 3 very much, as usual. Very clean and comfortable. We had plans to use the oven that had been there, but understand about going all electric.

We stayed in a delux cabin for two nights and had a wonderful time. The kids loved visiting Kevin the emu and the jumping pillow. The grounds were very nice and checking-in was easy with very nice people.

Excellent stay! VERY friendly staff, great location, quiet, clean facilities. Overall a very good experience, highly recommend. Looking forward to coming back another time. Thanks again!

The cabin was comfy and clean, and everything worked. The staff was friendly and super helpful. I would definitely stay here again! The only change I would suggest is to let the camper know in advance that kitchen towels, soap, paper dishes, hair dryer, etc. are available in the cabin - I would have packed less.

Staff were very polite, stopping to chat and share info about the campground and the local area. Went above and beyond to make our group comfortable, providing heaters and a hayride to the group members. My cabin and other facilities were clean and in good repair. Really great experience.

The managers were great. I had a cabin without bath which I have done at other KOAs but this one i had no idea how hilly the campground was so my cabin was down in a cold gully with a lot of unlit stairs to traverse at night and the bathroom was freezing cold. Bathrooms had No code number entrance so i felt unsafe to take a shower. The entrance paper said there was a code but there was not any p

We had a large gaggle of ladies out for several days and rented a bunch of cabins. February was a glorious month to come and go hiking around. Horse Back Riding and Ziplining are great options nearby too. The cabins are clean and so homey. They have everything you need and plenty of space for serveal bodies. The lofts where most twins mattresses are, are short and the stairs narrow for any older

We loved this KOA experiemce. The staff was amazing! Made us feel like family. The cabins were well kept and comfortable. Already planning a return stay

We had a wonderful time. The cabin was very nice, comfortable and clean. The grounds were well kept. The jumping pillow was a blast and we loved visiting Kevin the Emu. We were very close to the lake and did some sightseeing and fishing. We will definitely be back and have already recommended it to others. Thank you for making our family vacation so fun.

All good we had fun celebrating the New Year at your Koa party , took in the hay ride too and grandson loved the jump pillow

This KOA has been our home-away-from-home for over 30 years. Stress levels go down 10 notches as soon as we hit Santa Margarita.

Pleasant and peaceful. Was greeted by the staff. Cabin was warm and cozy, the Christmas lights on the cabin added a nice touch for the holidays!

We stayed in the winter for Christmas. Cabins were very comfortable and warm. The views of the hills were incredible and green, and they had activities for the children on Christmas eve. I also loved that we could have our dog in the rustic cabin.

Campground is beautiful. Lots of trees and greenery. We were there during a major rainstorm, which posed some challenges, but staff was very accommodating and helpful. Our kids enjoyed Kevin the emu and the special Christmas activity in the party yurt. We’d love to come back in the summertime to enjoy all of the amenities with some sunshine!

Cozy, 2br Cabin, during December!!! Thank you.

Thank you so much for the stay! Cabins were awesome, the grounds looked SO GREAT with the lights and the tree!! My girlfriend and I had a blast, and we went zip lining in the SM Adventures which was just a skip away from the campground so everything was perfect, 13/10 would recommend, thank you all have a wonderful holiday!!!

One of the best KOA’s I have been to. Nice well spaced and quite cabins. Great kids play area.
Nov 26, 2021
This is my family’s favorite KOA to escape the city and see the stars! My kids love the jumping pillow the Kevin the Emu! Hope to visit again soon!

Friendly staff, clean cabin, great camping, rv, tent, sites, well managed. Thanks
Nov 22, 2021
I really enjoyed the use of the cabin and the owners were very accomodating. They really took care of our needs and were flexible with our requests. We had a problem with the hot water in the shower and they promised to look into it. My adult children really enjoyed our stay and they want to revisit. We did not get to do everything we could have on this short trip and so we will return.

My 3rd time here!
Nov 08, 2021
Loved our spot high up on the hill with a beautiful view. We were very comfortable with the nice table and chairs on the concrete patio. The Adirondack chairs around the campfire completed the campsite. The camp host and support hosts were so helpful and friendly, making us feel welcome. We will be back!

I came for a family reunion on Halloween weekend and it was so fun! They had organized fall/Halloween activities for everyone. They had many different sized cabins for different needs and budgets, as well as camping and RV hookups. I stayed in a small cabin with out a restroom so I used the more public restroom which was very clean through out our stay. The staff were all SO nice and helpful!

Great stay. you just need a light outside the party yurt.

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.

Karen, Michele, and Daisy's names. Were amazing help to our family. This trip was kind of hard after my husband passed away. We came out to do a memorial for him. Y'all made it very cool. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
