I loved all the kid friendly activities. The only thing was there were issues with not having a picnic table for each site or which table belongs to each site. Perhaps labeling the tables so it clearly identifies which table belongs to which kamping kabin.

Everyone at this Santa Cruz KOA is outstanding! Friendly smiles came at check-in and greetings came from everyone working on the property. The campground is fun and the other guests staying are cool too. The property is well kept, jacuzzi was great, and the glamping cabins are wonderful - super comfortable beds, well appointed, and the firepits at each one are great to enjoy. Love this place!

Hoped for a better site next to the playground to watch my small children, but was placed at the furtherest spot. The lady who checked us in at the front gate was rude but the rest of the staff was very friendly. Communication by text was great

Everything fine. Staff friendly. Trailer space nice. Water pressure was a little weak but did not cause any issue. Third time there and great for the kids.

Spent time with extended family for our annual traditional stay at KOA, Monterey. We were bummed that the jumpy balloon was not available. That is the star attraction for our kids. But, we ended up enjoying the rest of our stay.

Love this place! They were performing a lot of construction the week we stayed, which made it a little less relaxing than normal, but the staff is always friendly, welcoming and the campground is so clean.

Its our third time there and the kids have so much fun. The unique events like the foam party and bike friendly site made it a hit for everyone! We made some new friends and met some old ones that we didn't even know were going to be there!

Everything was pretty good except our grill didn't work.

Communication via text was terrific. Reminders of quiet hours helps keep park quiet after hours. Friendly staff in store. Our second visit. Will be back!

We had a wonderful time. My only disappointment was not being able to enjoy the hot tub because some parents had their children floating in floating devices and children jumping in the hot tub like a swimming pool. But the rest was great

We enjoyed our stay here 5.2024 at Santa Cruz Monterey Bay KOA this trip as our summer travels begin. Even though much work was being done here to get ready for their summer season,the facility was kept clean & the staff helpful and friendly.The bathrooms and showers were clean and property working. We plan on having a family reunion here which would be very enjoyable to all ages of our family.

Fantastic location and KOA campground. Very clean. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Fun walk to the beach (about a mile). We loved our 2-night stay!

Hello. The stay had some pitfalls with the neighbors right next to us with a pit bull and quite a group of them while no other cabins were full around us, we could have been not so close. The door jam kept causing the door to be stuck. Also wondering about billing and does deposit funds get returned? I'm unaware if it happened

Cabin # 82 had several issues within the cabin. toilet leaking onto the floor, blinds encased within the glass door were broke so they were constantly closed one of our pleasures is to see the outdoors view this was very disappointing. The cabin slept 6 but did not have enough forks or plates for 6 there were only 3 forks and we had 4 people. No extra garbage can bags we had to request. More etc.

The camping cabin was perfect. Highly recommend site 14. The resort was clean, bathrooms were tidy, and staff was friendly. We will be coming back 100%.

We,ve been coming to Santa Cruz KOA since 1990 and camp almost every year. We have been to alot of different KOA's and Santa Cruz KOA is the most outstanding park in every category. Best in the Nation! We absolutely LOVE IT!

Sites were clean. I like all activities for kids amd amenities. Everything is there for kids to do from sand to build sandcastle to swimming pool to playground. One suggestion is to add step stools in the bathroom for young kids to be able to reach the sinks.

Great park. Very clean with a lot to do on weekends if you have kids. Weather was great except for one day when it rained. We have been coming here for a long time. Highly recommend.

Our cabin 212 smelled like mold, and the cabinet under the sink looked like some water leaks in the past and caused the mold grow from the wood. I think this is a health hazard issue and the cabin should not be rented until it's fixed. Most the the bowls in our cabin were dirty and needed to be rewashed.

We love the activities and amenities this site has to offer. The workers are very friendly and helpful!

Overall the stay was good and we'll be back but we didn't have WIFI for most of the stay. Had we known the WIFI was going to be out we would have brought a satellite dish. Cell service is too weak to stream content and we had planned on watching the Canelo fight Saturday night with our friends. thanks, Shawn

Park is well taken care of and great for a family. Lots of activities for kids and a great store for snacks or forgotten items.

Worst stay ever. Jump pillow broken, bikes were all rented out, my 11 year old bored out of her mind. Cabin 140 the left side is the actual bathroom trail but the right side is apparently the short cut for the boys bathroom so we had people tromping by all night on both sides walking right thru by the picnic table during dinner. Bummer trip used to be a member and live in Aptos

REally enjoyed our stay. The campground was comprehensive, having everything we needed. Especially liked the doggie bathing station. It was not full at all, which I loved. Suspect in high season it might be a bit crowded and noisy as it's a very large campground, but our stay there was lovely.

Exceptional park for a family with kids, not for people with no kids. When booking we asked for a site so we could use our satellite dish. They put us on the north side of the biggest tree in the park. It also dropped sap all over our vehicles. The park was full on the weekend with over 300 kids running wild. Great park for families with alot of activities, but not for us.

This is a very nice KOA and definitely a KOA type experience. We checked in quickly and our spot was adequate for our van. The showers in the morning were good but could have been a bit cleaner. That is why the four star rating...

Could not rate rooms as we have a RV. Most excellent service and well maintained grounds in a beautiful setting.
