★★★★★ 5.0 Mike Heinaman · Dec 2025

Great glamping spot. We stayed in the cabins for a December weekend, and I came away generally impressed. On the positive side - the cabins were roomy, clean, and set up well for small families, with a bedroom area, living area and kitchenette and a loft that my 9 year old daughter loved. There's a firepit and grills outside as well. The community store was well stocked, not cheap (of course), but not crazy expensive. There was a heated pool, a nice playground, and huge inflatable bouncing pad that the kids loved. They also had some nice Christmas and holiday activities that the kids also enjoyed. The staff I interacted with were really friendly and helpful, and you're close to some nice beach areas and Santa Cruz/Capitola for shopping and eating. The only minor downsides - the show

The cabin was good but at the cost I would expect more of a hotel like customer service. I asked for more towels and they said I could bring the used ones down to the lodge store and exchange them for clean ones. I don’t want to go to the store and wait in line to exchange towels every day after a shower. ||Also on check out day we vacated our cabin and moved our vehicle to the parking lot. We used the pool from 10-12:00. We thought we were ok to do this, as in every hotel I’ve ever stayed at. But this a hole came out and said we need to leave the property immediately. I was confused. I paid almost $2,000 for the holiday weekend and this guy says I need to leave the property at check out time. I have NEVER been told to leave after check out. We were just letting our son swim a bit before w

Great location close to ocean (1 mile) that you can walk and go to beach. Full service available - this helped us a lot as first time RV experience. They have store so you can get anything that you may have missed. Lot of bikes to rent and fun activities for kids and family.

★★★★★ 5.0 Darlene A · Sep 2025

Very nice RV park it is well taken care of! Office staff super friendly and great customer service. Nice wide roads and the parking for the RV is super level. A lot for fun things for kids to do. Great location for surrounding areas to visit. The only thing is a bundle of wood is $20 super expensive. Emily was friendly and helpful! Overall great KOA!

★★★★★ 5.0 Liz Hudon · Nov 2025

This is the nicest KOA we have ever been to! Staff was very friendly and helpful, the kids loved the playground and heated pool. Everything was clean and well maintained. The only minor complaint is the dog parks are pretty small.
