We arrived to cabin #85 to find two large 5 gallon orange paint buckets set up for trapping rats/mice. Not a good start, however the staff quickly offered us cabin #87, which apparently has no rodent issues? However, the heater "fan" is so strong when it blows heat, it wakes you up and we could adjust the temperature, but not the strength of the fan-this two pretty sleepless nights.

Beautiful, quiet stay in an incredibly maintained and well laid out campground. Sites weren’t right next to each other and let it feel like you were actually enjoying nature. Wonderfully dark at night to see the stars.

The staff is always so friendly and helpful. Gorgeous campground too!

We stay at Santa Margarita KOA a few times throughout the year. Our stays are always a pleasure. Cabins are clean, staff is very friendly and accommodating, camp ground is clean. This is a great place to get away.

Nice cabin (#31) but has a shared wall with another cabin and we could hear every noise bang and step their 2 year old made, I will only stay here again if a stand along cabin is available. Shower in the cabin was unavailable due to extremely low water pressure, KOA completely refunded my $175 fee for this issue so we really appreciated that. This KOA site is nice, clean and well kept

My husband and I love Santa Margarita KOA. We've been vacationing there for years. We stayed in cabin #31 this time, everything was great. The only caveat was the shower. The on demand water heater stopped providing hot water within minutes and we'd have to step out to turn on the hot water to the sink per the directions on the door. The water pressure was extremely low as well. Not a deal breaker

Only complaint we have is the bed was super lumpy and uncomfortable...We have stayed a few times and that was never an issue..Other then that our stay was great as usual.

The stairs to the restroom felt unsafe my toddler even holding my hand slipped down several times the last time he slipped broke free of my hand and scraped his face after tumbling down thank God the last bottom stairs . The stairs to the cabin had sharp rock edges with no hand rail we actually left late evening prior to checkout due to the anxiety/stress of the stairs

Staff is very friendly, many fun activities for the kids, restrooms were clean, and people followed the rules to keep it quiet by 10pm.

Cabin was great. Kids loved jumping bean and inflatable slide. The party yurt activities were mediocre according to kids and the pool water was cold. Overall, it was a fun time for our family and friends
Aug 05, 2023
The cabin was too hot, the door was broken, the hostess was passive aggressive. We left after one night and wouldn’t have stayed that night if we hadn’t driven all day.
Aug 03, 2023
Back window of cabin nailed shut so we were unable to open it to let air in. Not only did this make it impossible to cool off and sleep, it was also a huge fire hazard.

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.

Clean, beautiful, quiet and kid friendly. My kids absolutely enjoyed the pool and summer activities. We will definitely be back. Staff is very attentive.

Staff are awesome. Pool might need to be cleaned a bit more.

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,

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!

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. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
