Had a great time even with the rain. The jumpy was great fun for our 9 kids in group. Kevin was awesome. ....however, your electrical problem was awful. We were afraid for our turkey being cooked and our heaters keeping us warm. Hope you can fix the problem so we can come back next year.

Very friendly and helpful staff. I arrived late and it was dark. My fault, but I could have used some help getting into the site. They did help me when I jackknifed my toad.

It was great! The little store in the front office was well stocked. The entire camp grounds were immaculate, the bathrooms and showers were also. The little cabins were decorated with white icicle lights which gave a cozy mountain feeling. The staff were extremely pleasant, and helpful! I will make reservations to stay there again!

It was so dirty and dusty!!!! You had us right on the corner between 2 roads and the dust just billowed every time someone drove by. (watering the road might have helped) We had paid for 2 nights, but, left right after the first.

We got there late 9pm. There was a walkies talkie at the door saying if you need help, please call and directions on how to use it. Campsite is very dark. We have a class A. We found our reservation, yellow card for tow and map. We called for help because of darkness and size of coach. called at least 10 times. We know how to use these walkies we use them for business.Horrible customer servic

We have been to the Santa Margarita KOA a few time and have enjoyed it each time. They keep the area clean, water the dirt roads regularly, have a nice pool, have a great kids area w/ a big jumping pillow, the staff has always been very welcoming and accommodating. The spaces above the play ground are a little close, but that is a minor tradeoff for being able to watch the kids from the trailer.

One of our favorite KOAs. The campground is nice and well kept. They are always making improvements that have made the campground even better. Kim is a wonderful camp host that goes above and beyond to make your stay pleasurable. All of the staff is great friendly and helpful.

Wonderful host,makes it possible to reach her at all hours of the day. Campsite is separated and spacious.

The nicest lady at the front desk greeted us immediately when my girlfriend and I walked in, her name was Kim Ann. She was the sweetest and most informative person imaginable. We ended up loving the campsite and the attractions. We fed an Emu, jumped on the jumper till we couldn't and swam in the pool on the hottest days. We stayed an extra night in a cabin, it was amazing!

Everyone was so friendly. Great spot for base camp. Vineyards all around. Great Antiques in Santa Margarita and San Luis Obispo Can't wait to go back.

We were very disappointed that there were no activities for kids. On the website it’s displayed like there was a lot of stuff going on.

Great kampground but very busy

I was in RV site 27, it is a little dangerous due to the extreme slop on the utility side, I would suggest enforcing the hillside with either cement blocks or railroad ties and then leveling the sit as there is a dramatic slop downward to site 26. The grounds were extremely clean and very kid friendly. I would suggest for a family or group of families, not really a place for a single couple.

Nice quiet campground. There’s nice play area for kids and Emu on site for kids to see. Pen for Emu is really small kind of feel sorry for it.

It was probably just the time of year but there were way too many bugs and dirt for us! Bathrooms were not as clean as I would have liked. We stayed at campsite 22, i liked being so close to the bathroom, but would be better if the bench by the bathroom wasnt there, would have felt more private for us.

Second time at the campground... LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!

We were only spending one night on our way to our destination at Santa Cruz North/Costanoa KOA. The place is quiet and uniquely nestled in the oak covered hills of the area. We would have stayed longer if time had permitted. It was nice to wake up to deer on the hillside above our camp. And the emu was a nice touch as well.

We arrived after hours and were having a little trouble finding a spot. We called and she came right down(Kim Ann I think) Made us feel right at home and took great care in finding us just the right spot for our motorhome and trailer. Site was awesome and the area is great. Felt very much taken care of for sure.

Great location and staff took care of us as one of their own. Even the rain couldn't dampen our spirits. Definitely coming back here next year. Please give Kevin the Emu a bigger place!

We just left this RV park and we’re very pleased with our experience! We (me, the hubs and a 14 month old and 5 yr old) stayed in our camper and our site was decent sized and loved we had a fire pit! The staff was super helpful, especially when we locked our keys in the camper (🤦🏽‍♀️ rookie mistake)...the woman at the front was quick to come down and bring us the info for a local locksmith and offered us water and anything we needed to keep the kids happy in the meantime. Luckily we were able to get in pretty quickly and while the hubs was working to get in I kept the kids occupied at the swings and bounce pillow! We also visited Kevin the Emu and one of the other staff members brought us food to feed him. Just very friendly staff and an overall nice site! Thank you!

We just left this RV park and we’re very pleased with our experience! It was sort of in the middle of nowhere, but a very cool campground and very close to the lake (about a half mile down the road). We (me, the hubs and a 14 month old and 5 yr old) stayed in our camper and our site was decent sized and loved we had a fire pit! The staff was super helpful, especially when we locked our keys in the camper (🤦🏽‍♀️ rookie mistake)...the woman at the front was quick to come down and bring us the info for a local locksmith and offered us water and anything we needed to keep the kids happy in the meantime.

We also visited Kevin the Emu and one of the other staff members brought us food to feed him. Just very friendly staff and an overall nice site! Our favorite activities off site we’re visiting Tin City and the Templeton Farmer’s Market.
