Santa Cruz North / Costanoa KOA

Grounds were well-kept, lush and gorgeous. Our RV site was flat with plenty of play room For the kids. Sites can be a little tight but didn’t feel that way. Restrooms were plentiful and clean. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. A special shoutout to Oscar and Solomon for going out of their way to make our stay that much better. We had a great time and already booked next years vacation.

We have stayed here several times over the last few years. There have been mixed experiences. We first stayed in a luxury tent. It was an okay experience. The heated blanket did not work so I froze all night. We were also pretty far from the restrooms. However, the Pine Tent was awesome. Nice spot to hang out. We also loved the little store, they had the best options as we eat healthy and organic food. The souvenirs were so good, we bought so many things. The last time we stayed there we stayed in a cabin. It is a shared wall with another cabin. It has a fireplace. The problem was that every time we used it, it set off the fire alarm, even with all the windows and doors open. Then in the middle of the night the fire detector, which is one you have at home, was beeping all night due to low battery. Security knocked on our door in the middle of the night to assist, however it is located at the top of 10 ft ceiling, which I think is why the smoke also accumulates here and always goes off. So we had to deal with the beeping smoke detector all night. Fun. Security told us to ask for half off that night's stay. The front desk didn't really want to do this, but eventually gave in. Their restaurant was okay, a little over priced for it not being anything fancy. We also noticed the grocery store no longer stocked organic items and all the other items were now cheap, not nice items. We didn't purchase anything that time. We asked staff what happened, it was then we were told it had been sold to a new owner. That explained a lot. It wasn't the same place, disappointing. My son then went there after that and said the Pine Tent only sold frozen pizzas and didn't have breakfast items and was overall very disappointed and won't go back. I would love to go back if they improve to what they used to be. Seeing as I can't eat anything there, it would be difficult to be there.

Rooms are nice but we stayed in the campgrounds in our travel trailer. Our sites were a bit narrow but we scouted out some wider spaces for our trip next year. Bathrooms were great and always clean. Activites for the kids were engaging and employees were friendly and helpful. We are planning on visiting again as a group because accomodations can be made for all of us based on need: RV, tents, glamping, cabins, hotel. We used one of each this trip.

Really nice place. Upscale glamping. We're cheap and went with a bungalow (tent), but the bed was super comfy and it had a heater, so still really nice. The grounds are really nice and there's lots of activities for kids and live music for special occasions. We can for the independence weekend get our dog away from the fireworks. It was really nice, quiet, and relaxing. The pizza place sells crappy pizza, but everything else was great. Would definitely come back.

This Fathers day weekend 6/21/26, was our second stay at Costanoa. We had a wonderful time and a great stay. Our kids love the activities and it's proximity to beaches that are very spacious is amazing. There was alit of whale and sea lion action in the sea, visible from camp. We had a minor hiccup on our first evening, but Oscar and Trish handled and rectified this will ease and care. Thank you so much you two!! This was my second time dealing with Oscar, and I absolutely applaud his guest service and friendly demeanor. We will definitely beck back and are already scheduled for February. What a amazing place to enjoy with family and friends. We ate 4 times at the Cascade restaurant. Great all 4 times. Erin was our server 2 of 4 times, A+
