Campground Reviews

Nov 15, 2021
3rd time staying here, we love it! But very disappointed we weren't notified of the construction in the bathroom. Bathroom, showers, sink near site were closed - there were 3 portable showers/ bathroom for temp use however no trash cans (I found feminine products left out), & urine clogged showers feces on the floor. It was also loud Fri /Sat, wasn't expecting so much hammering on vacation. :(

I loved the isolation from the neighborhood and traffic. Missed the s'mores but enjoyed the movie night. I stayed in a tent, site was great. The cabins looked very attractive. I might try one of them in the near future. Although I was alone I loved how accommodating things were for families. They seemed to be having a blast.

We were moved from site #1 (which had a power hookup, suggesting vans were potentially expected there) to site #31 in and amongst the huge RVs with very little privacy and lots of noise. If we were given site #1 initially with the full knowledge that we were arriving with a van, it was unclear why all of a sudden when we checked in the van was somehow a problem. Wish we had contested this.

We really want to like this KOA. The amenities are great for kids on the weekend, but mostly closed during the week. The climbing tree doesn't open till 1pm on sat. Music is blared all day from campsites (you can hear it from 10 spaces away). People stay up talking loud and playing music until 2am. Basically we have found on both our trips it is party central on weekends. Time to drink up I guess!

Spaces were packed. My kids had an amazing time

Cabin was nice but by 7:45 am, construction started outside my window in the remodeled bathroom building. Quiet hours are supposed to be from 10-8. So much for that. Here’s a suggestion. Even if they waited until 8, it kind of ruined a nice morning. Please don’t put guests next to a construction site. And if you must, please let them know so they can be aware before deciding to stay.

Scenic, quiet, clean pool and spa. Spacious site with cement patio was nice.

We have been visiting for Haloween weekend many years and always had a wonderful time. It has been our tradition and we were allowed to book with the first option for the following year. We were very sad and upset that KOA had opened up the reservations/We lost our spaces. Sad to learn "the new manager didn't know about blocked weekends". SO MANY FAMILIES ARE UPSET! Time for new traditions

Since the new manager has taken over, he has changed rules and broken up a 20 year, annual camping tradition for our group of family and friends by no longer allowing us to have priority booking for our same site for the next year. All of us lost our sites and cabins and stopped our annual tradition. He's treating this as a hotel, instead of the family tradition place that it was/should be.

Bathroom was being worked on so that was a bummer. If we stay for 2 nights there should have been 4 Keurig pods for coffee and 4 cups (2 for each morning). Everything else was fabulous.

This place is so fun for families. I have stayed here 3 times and plan to come back soon.

Very nice park - offers so much for families! As a retired couple, we were glad we did not have reservations for the October 15-16 weekend after staying there Tue - Thur - it would have been a noisy zoo!! The park was very well maintained, the restrooms were very clean, and the people working in the office were all very friendly and helpful. Again - a great park for families!

This property offers young families a great playground area and pool. Nice coastal location. The facilities were kept very clean including bathrooms. Staff were pleasant. The only criticism is that while they do have WIFI, they don’t allow video streaming, and if you do try this, we read that your WiFi would be turned off for 24 hrs. That means if working away—no ability for video conferenc

The bathrooms to serve our area were under construction and no portable toilets were provided. That left 2 women’s stalls to serve an enormous area of the campground. One of them had no toilet paper and the other had a flooded floor. We were not warned about any of this when checking in. Also we were made to move our campsite after getting everything set up. But it’s near the beach.

Overall, our stay was 5 out of 5. This place is comfortable and the current staff are passionate with grounds upkeep and daily operations. Due to The Awesome pool at this place, we had no choice but to extend our stay by a few days before traveling onward. Thank you for great time!

Our most recent stay was during a Halloween wknd celebration. Very fun and well run. Thank you. It had been a while since we visited the SC/MB KOA ~ wonderful to see all of the new improvements. Very disappointed in how next year's Halloween wknds have been managed. As it turns out, our 9 year fun of fun at KOA at Halloween has come to an end. Sure wish there had been different communicati

Lovely surroundings, impeccable grounds, friendly staff!

The stay was nice; however, we probably won't return since the reservation process changed and we are no longer able to get a spot for Halloween weekend. Disappointing.

Always enjoy our stay at Santa Cruz KOA...we have family in the area & this KOA is in perfect proximity. The staff is always very friendly & helpful, the park is well maintained.

Long-time guests of the SC KOA. I found the upgrades to the bathrooms delightful. The communication (other than the reminders of the rules) was slow. Questions were asked 2-3 times before being answered if at all. For the price, I felt like I was nickeled and dimed.

We had a great time. Karen in the front office was very patient and helpful. We will be back.

We had a great time as usual. Patty was very cordial and professional. We found some of the other staff to not be as friendly. We did like the way the manager handled the out of control guests. For the price we paid, we expected the bathrooms to be in better condition. The prizes fir the Halloween contest were not nearly as generous as before. But, a good time was had by all. Thank you

We love this place. I've spent time at many Koa over the years and they are all clean, fun for the kids and so close to Monterey pier and Santa cruz boardwalk. Over the years I've stayed here 5 or 6 times. The only drawback is the price it is very spendy. We pay half the fee at the booking and we save for the rest. Never had any problems with the camp sites or the management I have given it 4 stars, not 5 stars because of the price of the lodging. My favorite Koa is Manchester Beach.
