If you are traveling with children, then this is a good choice for you. That is their forte and that's where they put their energy. Our children are grown and no longer travel with us. Tons of wonderful looking play equipment for kids. The pool was FULL of kids, no adults (and the weather wasn't all that warm). The price... More

We stayed here during our spring break for 3 nights. We had two spots, A deluxe cabin that fit 6. And an RV pull through. There was 9 of us. The cabin was two rooms. One bed in one and two sets of bunk beds. Only 4 staying here. So, it was nice that the kids did not have to... More

Great facility! Stayed in one of the on-site Airstreams. Well-equipped and comfortable. Staff was attentive and always available. Enjoyed going to the nearby beach in the mornings. The pool was nice and we enjoyed several campfires. Multiple groups were staying at the campground but it didn't feel like it was too crowded.

We have stayed here before and have always enjoyed the amenities for the kids...jumpy pillow, bikes, pool, hot tub, golf, play structure, and great location near the beach. The grounds are meticulously maintained and the staff is always very friendly. What really cemented our love for this spot happened over the weekend...we were stopping through for one night on our...

Spent the weekend in our motorhome at this koa. Very clean campsites and park. Staff at the office were all very friendly and helpful. Would rate it a 5 if the cable and internet service had been better. Will definately stay here again when going to the Monterey-Santa Cruz area.

By far the best KOA we stayed in as far as the service provided by the staff and the site for the families staying on the site. What with the bike hire, bouncy island, train and climbing "wall" the kids were kept so amused we hardly needed to leave the site! Everybody is extremely friendly, and go out of their... More

Do not bother with this KOA if you are tenting. We have tented in 38 KOA sites, so far, across America and this one is terrible. It is the most expensive - by a factor of 2 or more, and for this you get a tiny pocket-handkerchief of dust and dirt that is so hard it is impossible to hammer... More

We had a little one room cabin and loved it. This is truly a Great KOA with so many activities and all the people there were great. We were driving down to Santa Barbara and stayed here two nights. The sites are small but that's okay, there was so much else to do. Our boys loved renting the little bikes... More

It was the most expensive KOA we have ever stayed in. But with its Founder's Award and surrounding hotels costing $200 or more we gave it a try. With its heated pool, bounce island, mini golf, big playground and organized activities, the kids won't be bored. The best way to make your money worth is to arrive early (like around... More

We stay in the lodges for an annual trip with friends and family. We love the location near Monterey and Santa Cruz and the recreation for children - train rides, jump pillow, bikes, play ground, and pancake breakfast and movies. The staff is friendly, and we love the pizza and firewood delivery service. The lodges are spacious and come with... More
