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!

My wife and just stayed here for a couple of nights and we were very pleased with our stay. The grounds are well kept and everyone who works here was extremely friendly and welcoming. The sites are what you would expect at a private RV resort, but they did have a nice grassy areas between sites. The area around it is interesting, and Sea Harvest is a great place to grab dinner! One thing that I was amazed at was the store on site. For such a small space, they had everything you would ever want or need! Very impressive! Highly recommended!

Great RV site, close to stunning beach and dunes walk along river. 7 noisy sea- lions fighting for sun- lounging space on a pontoon in the marina, got upset when a chilled out sea otter got too close! Saw whales breaching out at sea, pelicans and more sea-lions from the beach - water cool and waves a bit unpredictable so not good for swimming

Clean and well maintained. Hookups are very easy. Spots are very close together. Small RV park without much to do within the park aside from a small communal area. Sea otters and Sea lions are close by as well as a walking trail and the ocean

This was the second time here and it did not disappoint. Super helpful staff when we arrived. Had a dead battery on our toad and offered to help. For such a little place this is one of the cleanest campgrounds we've ever visited. It's the perfect base camp for activities around Monterey.

The greatest spots to stay on the road are those that welcome you with open arms and limit the drama that can arise if the slightest thing is not in order. The road trip can be stressful enough on its own. The staff welcomed us and assisted in parking our rig and offered any further assistance if necessary. The park is clean and well maintained with a store filled with necessities. The showers and bathrooms were always clean along with the grounds and facilities. We love this park because it exists with everything nature by the sea! Recommended for all travelers seeking beauty and excitement.

We had a wonderful time staying at this little KOA. Liz and Ben were just the best, and they clearly care so much about this Park. Their dedication goes into every detail of our stay, from the cookies upon arrival to the meticulous landscaping and upkeep of the sites. They were both kind, friendly, and down-to-earth people who made you feel welcome. We can't wait to come back! The sites are a little tight but the staff (Ben!) is diligent in helping back people in and ensuring that everyone is parked correctly / not blocking the road. This park is just a short walk to the marina and beach where an abundance of sea lions and sea otters roam. There are a handful of good restaurants in the area as well as fish markets (like less than 5 mins drive time).

We stayed 4 nites at this location. The staff were fantastic, including helping us back into the site. The location was exceptionally clean and well cared for. The beach was a short walk away, with hardly anyone on the beach. The showers and such, were clean and tidy. It was a very nice place to stay.

This was a wonderful place for my husband and myself to spend our anniversary. You can hear the sea lions from our rv. I can see the tops of the boats from the harbour but I can't see the water from here. There are fantastic, pricey restaurants all within walking distance. I'm talking amazing food. We road our bikes to the end of the marina and watched the sea lions, otters and birds. If you're in the mood for a weekend getaway and you are prepared to spend some money and eat some fancy food, come here! This is a no frills park. No activities that I can see. The spots are small but the location makes up for it. Also it's windy here. I mean windy. And they have a store. That's always a plus.

Absolutely loved this place! We will definitely be back! People were so nice. Literally right on the marina!
