Moss Landing KOA Express
Located in a quiet fishing village centered on the Monterey Bay, with easy access to the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve, the Moss Landing KOA Express is a nature-lover's paradise.
Founded in the 1800's as a seaport and fishing village, Moss Landing has a little something for everyone. Located in the heart of Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, it is home to dozens of birds species, as well as otters, sea lions, and harbor seals. Take a scenic nature tour through Elkhorn Slough, one of California's largest coastal wetlands, or catch one of the daily whale-watching cruises out of the harbor right next door. A beautiful beach and many delightful restaurants are within a few minutes' walk. A short 30-minute drive will take you to Santa Cruz or Monterey.
This park only allows fully self-contained RVs with water, electric, and sewer connections. No tents, car camping, passenger vehicles, cargo trailers, or converted vans/trailers.
All sites are back-in and have full hookups. Most sites have both 50 and 30-amp electrical.

Happy to have discovered Moss Landing KOA as we traveled home. The staff are friendly and helpful and even though full, the campground was quiet. It’s a small campground which is refreshing and is located near a great coffee shop, Power Plant Coffee, and what appeared to be several good restaurants. We enjoyed hiking the lovely Moss Landing State Beach area after breakfast before hitting the road home. We will definitely stay here again.

KOA management at this place is new and they changed rates on us with over 20% increase when trying to add 3 nights to a 4 night stay refusing to listen(about our RV repair scheduling). And also to be fair about this rate increase during their transition and lack of communication from front desk to us when making original reservation. They must be trying to make a impression on ownership I guess? Then after traveling since 3am with my family (to avoid rush hour San Francisco traffic) we pulled in at 9am very tired but they wanted to charge us a $25 early arrival fee with plenty of spots open and available. RV parks I know do this also but they have always waived the fee if spot is open but no not KOA they will charge you for everything they can I ve always notice and I m done with KOA for this. We will no longer be staying at KOA's any longer after this KOA put me over the edge because of lack of concern for our family traveling through which KOA know and feast on trying to capitalize financial every chance they get... We RV all over the country and spent many nights at KOA's over the years but I m done. KOA owners and management are hard working and nice but always want to charge ya and never budge on trying to dig into your wallet.

It's a very small KOA (KOA Express) with no frills. If you have kids, probably not the KOA for you. Makes a decent stop over. Sites are fairly small, close proximity, but there are a few for larger rigs. No pool, no toys, very small dog poo area, but close to the beach, and a dog beach. The grounds were clean, staff polite, and all hookups functioned as expected. The sites are concrete, ours was fairly level, picnic table, no fire pits. The rent propane fire pits, or can use your own. The area around it, is a bit sketchy, not much going on. The "Snack Shack" nearby was decent for a breakfast burrito. Be aware that the road to get to Moss Landing is trash, and the intersection is also silly. Traffic is pretty heavy on that section of Hwy 1, and you will hear the road noise. I don't think we would stay here again, rather we would go up the road to the "Monterey/Santa Cruz KOA" not far away.

Moss Landing KOA Express is a small, nice, and very quiet campground — perfect if you’re looking for a peaceful stay. The town of Moss Landing itself is very quiet with not much going on, but that’s part of the charm if you want to relax away from the crowds. Monterey is about 30 minutes away, so day trips are easy. The location is excellent: just 2 minutes from the docks and 5 minutes from the beach, which makes it a great base for walking, beach visits, or boat tours. Amenities are well maintained and of high quality, making the stay comfortable and hassle-free. Overall, it’s a quiet and well-equipped campground in a convenient coastal location, especially for those who enjoy a more laid-back setting.

Great koa express. Small only about 40 spots but great location for visiting Monterey, caramel and Big Sur. Restrooms were clean and well maintained. As were laundry facilities that are quarter operated. Not a kid zoo koa with tons of activities but a quiet place. We spent 5 nights. Loved being able to walk to the beach and see seals and sea otters in the wild. Only thing I’d change is a fire ring at each site. Instead of one communal one. Also, the wood they sell is “clean burning” and does not catch on fire for 17$ a box. Don’t waste your money!
