We had a wonderful time! From the moment we checked in the staff went out of their way to make our stay a memorable one for our family . The grounds were perfectly clean & maintained. Highly recommend ! We will be back

The campgrounds were wonderful and generally well-maintained, but the restrooms were a little underwhelming in the cleanliness department. Specifically the women's showers in Bathhouse 2. Other than that we very much enjoyed our stay. We loved how close we were to the lake where we could take the kids fishing and the town of Santa Margarita is charming. We'll be back!

Amazing KOA only stayed one night but hostess was very helpful, park was just like your in the woods. Nice and quiet Will definitely go back and stay longer next time.

Great staff, found us a great spot to out our Class B Van, lovely hillside spots for Class B, tents, yurts, and cabins interspersed. Did not go to Lake but will do next time we book here. Also close to many wineries, Sensorium, and cute towns of Creston and Sta Marguerita. Would be a great place to stay during rmthe events in Paso Robles

The roads were not well maintained, which made it difficult to tow our trailer up the gravel road. All of the toilets in the men's bathroom were clogged and not cleaned for our entire stay. A clean bathroom is one of the most important things about a campsite for us, so I can't recommend it. For those who don't need to use the public restroom, it would be a good campsite for them.

The site was good and the place we had for our van as well. But $115 for one night is completely overpriced especially when I look at the bathrooms. I know there is a sign outside that these bathrooms will only be periodically maintained but the signs inside speaking about summer camp 2023 hopefully are not indicative of the length of that mentioned period.

Very big campground, love that we can explore around. Lots of trees and hills, chilly mornings are great for coffee surrounded by nature scenes.

A beautiful campground at this time of year. We stayed in site #62 which is a large pull through site with no neighbors on either side. I highly recommend it. We drove to the lake and down into the town of Santa Margarita, a small town with not much there. When you come here know that there isn’t much to do in and around the campground. You will need to drive to San Luis Obispo, Morrow Bay or Pa

The roads are mostly dirt or gravel and many have large ruts and/or potholes. The tent camping spots the website bragged about being motorcycle friendly are absolutely unusable for a motorcycle. Steep embankments on muddy, loose gravel in water-rutted access drives. But the staff was awesome and the guys checking me found me a spot that would accommodate the Harley.

Attendant was rude, charge way too much for non peak time.

This is a beautiful campground! Very clean and accommodating. Highly recommend.

It was one of the best KOA we loved the patio with tables and chairs...not picnic table and the fire pit area was the best. staff was very friendly. There were many places to walk so no need for a fitness center

Great location for hiking the San Lucia Mountain portion of the Los Padres. Great location for biking. Restrooms very clean and nice. Sites nicely laid out. We had a fantastic patio site with lots of space. If you are tenting, there are gorgeous sites up the hill that I would highly recommend. The staff were courteous. We would come back in a heartbeat.

Beautiful spot and close to so many outdoor activities. Rain dampened our plans but we will be back in summer or early fall!

We love this place and the staff is super nice!

We reserved a patio site; it would have been nice if they had blown the leaves and spider webs of the patio furniture. It is a very nice rustic campground, It does need some TLC on the roads. They should lower there prices in the winter since they had no amenities available at this time.t They were extremely friendly .

Beautiful campground! Too bad it rained on us…would have stayed longer. We will be back soon. The store attendants were beyond helpful. They were nice and made us feel very welcome.

Always love our stay here. The grounds are looking nice. Missed having Corn Hole. A bit disappointed that the kids' new year's actives were done during the day on 12/30. But that won't stop us from coming again. The friendly staff and scenery will always have us coming back. Love you guys!

This Park was disappointing. Arrived at 4:15p, office was closed, after hours checkin process in place. Sites were poorly maintained, roads throughout the park crumbling. In two days, did not see a single KOA person working inside the park, among the sites, or just checking up on things. This park has a very unique layout and has potential but it is below normal KOA standards currently.

It is a great place for kids to play and hike and enjoy the outdoors

This was our 2nd time staying over Thanksgiving with family in sites nearby. We love it. We utilized 2 sites next to each other, 1 site just below and 1 cabin. It was perfect. We parked head in with our motorhome and our daughters fam backed in their trailer. We had a beautiful common space between us. We were told head in was not allowed, and they let us slide this time. Can this rule be changed?

Very friendly and helpful staff. Answered all of our questions and very knowledgeable staff. Staff was amazing when interacting with our kids. Very clean and lots of wildlife to view.

Probably the nicest site we had on our 2 week odyssey through central California. Too bad we arrived late and had to leave early. Our site was at the top of the campground. It’s sitting on a hill but was somehow one of the most level sites of our trip.

Such a beautiful place to relax and enjoy with friends & families. Santa Margarita KOA was quiet, environments were well maintained, friendly staff and enough spaces for each camp site.
Nov 07, 2023
Kids lived the bouncing pillow Our site was narrow, neighbors septic hookup was right at our picnic table. Roads and sites very dusty
Nov 05, 2023
All as advertised! Clean, well organized facilities and a very nice environment. It is close to many Central Coast activities as well.

Beautiful campground. Near the lake and a short drive into historic Santa Maria and my birth home, Garden Farms. Great restaurants and friendly people. Lots of interesting wildlife all around.

It was a amazing, super friendly, quiet, and clean. We enjoyed the activities for the kids also, you don’t see many camping areas with kid friendly activities. We will definitely be returning, and letting family and friends know about this!

Thank you so much for the kind words! We enjoyed having you stay with us.

It was nice to get away, but I also needed to work and it was too remote for Internet. There is a Wi-Fi connection at the campground but it was very bad. This campground has a lot of twisty dirt roads on several elevations. It may be difficult to maneuver a larger RV in there. Also, not KOA’s fault, but the flies were horrible, we couldn’t stay outside for long. Also a skunk invaded our campsi

Great stay, this time site 57 stayed but Firday 330 talking and Saturday night it was 430 they went to bed. Saundra’s morning I picked up candy wrappers and some pistachios shell they weren’t very respective of the camp grounds. We decided not to call the after hours number, because they need their rest to keep this beautiful campground clean. Looking forward to our next stay. Thank you and Go

Very peaceful, great weather, clean facility and friendly staff.

I wasn't very fond of the set up and the list of rules. I get they are needed but they were a bit excessive in my opinion. The showers were gross. The woman's had a bandaid left on the floor the whole time I was there the first shower didn't drain and they just looked dirty. I ended up using the men's room cause it seamed cleaner however they had q tips left in it the whole time.

Beautiful location. Managers were very helpful and interactive, also nice! Facilities were well serviced. Only problem we had, was location of site on a significant incline. Hard to back in.

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. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
