This is a great campground to visit. Its always clean and very well maintained, and there are lots of activities. Whether you have kids or not its always a win. I will say the campground is a bit expensive but its worth it. At least for my family.

We just returned from our first visit to this wonderful place! KOA be very proud of your facility and most knowledgeable, customer oriented group of employees! We were backed in with our travel trailer up against the preserve! It was quiet, peaceful and made us want to stay many more days! There is one thing that requires your utmost urgent attention however; those RAIL ROAD TRACKS!!! Eee gads! They are huge for a small single axle trailer even at snail speed! We’ll be back to visit again and hope the tracks are either removed or paved smooth! Thank you thank you for a great facility!

Stayed here years ago and remembered how terrible it was recently so I thought I'd leave a review. Pulled in here after not seeing anywhere else to go as it was getting towards the end of the day. Got what they call a camping cabin as it was getting late and we didn't want to setup the tent in the dark. We thought for close to $200 a night it would include linens, a bathroom, and maybe a small kitchenette. Instead we got no bathroom, no kitchenette, no linens, and the mattresses seemed like something you'd see in a prison cell. 2-inch thick foamies that are incredibly uncomfortable and leave you sore in the morning. Campsite was loud past quiet time also. Would not recommend going to any KOA locations. Nothing but bad experiences after being to multiple. They are consistently overpriced for what they offer. I only stop at KOA out of absolute desperation and even then sleeping in your car at a truck stop is preferable, probably more amenities too.

So when we arrived we had some hiccups with our accommodations and the manager Glenn was very understanding and professional. He made sure we were treated like family. He took the time to listen and he tended to our request making our stay comfortable and unforgettable. We will definitely be coming back.

How is this facility in the winter months? Seems geared to summer fun with the pool and other ammenities. Are there amenities for the winter? Ike a lodge, lodge activities, etc?

Kevin Dupuis | Aug 30, 2019
Shawn-Patrick Smailey | Aug 30, 2019

Definitely geared towards outside fun (rock climbing, bouncy pillow, putt-putt, etc.) but the pool & hot tub are year-round and they have the Sand Shack where you can be indoors and play video games, ping pong, fireplace, crafts, etc.

I would jump on the koa website if I were you. You just plug in your trailer info and available sites pop right up.

Is there a shuttle or public transportation to beaches or the boardwalk from the KOA? (We'd like to keep our Camper set up while we are there).

Benjamin Wildenhaus | Jul 30, 2022
Lisa Moffatt | Jul 30, 2022

It is possible to walk down to Manresa SB, but it's about a mile. To get to the boardwalk in Santa Cruz, you'll need to take Lyft or Uber since it's about 14 miles north of this KOA. There's no shuttle offered thru KOA.
