Santa Cruz North/Costanoa KOA is an eco-adventure resort designed to encourage guests to explore the stunning beauty of the protected California coastline. This KOA creates many opportunities to retreat from the chaos of everyday life through hiking, mountain biking, music, art exhibits, kayaking, spa treatments and other activities. The campground strives to develop programs and methods to reinforce its uncompromising commitment to the environment. At this campground, the most visible landmark is Pigeon Point Lighthouse, just three miles north. This distinctive lighthouse has watched over the sheer cliffs and rocky shore since 1872. Its white tower has weathered shipwrecks, rumrunners, a fire, earthquakes, modern technology and even politics.
We offer an array of activities from guided naturalist hikes, horseback riding, and kayaking to art exhibits, mountain biking, and Spa treatments. The Cascade Bar & Grille serves California coastal cuisine, including local California wines and seafood. Costanoa is committed to reducing the impact of our operation on the environment in which we live and work. We are constantly developing new programs and methods to reinforce our commitment to the environment and to social responsibility.

I didn't stay at the hotel but we always stay at the RV park. It is one of our favorite places to stay. This place is always clean and we'll maintained. The Seascape spots are the best, but you literally can't go wrong with any of the other spots either. The restaurant is amazing too. I can't say enough about this place. It really is beautiful and relaxing.

A great place with a variety of options. They have upgraded the Rv sites with nice patio areas. The restaurant is very nice. Get RV site in the more spacious loop areas for room and a view. Very good wifi! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I’m pretty sure this is no longer a KOA as it is not listed on the KOA website. It’s called Costanoa and is INCREDIBLY expensive in regards to RV camping. As in $120-200/night for BYO RV 😳 this world has gone bonkers 🤦🏼♀️

Costanoa is a great little mixed-use campground. They offer whatever level of camping you'd like. From cabins, to solo/duo/family tents, to RV and BYO tent camping, and even have a more hotel-like lodge option. We stayed in the outer pine tents, which are a little more private and sleep two comfortably. The tent had everything we needed: a roof over our head, a bed, a small table and chair. Electricity and lighting also included, with a heated blanket. There are no heaters in the outer pine tents. Some tents have fire pits, and some don't, seemingly at random (supposedly due to wildfire risk, but I saw some tents with fire pits directly under a hanging pine branch 15' above, so I don't know how accurate that statement is), so make sure you check to see if your assigned tent has one before hauling in all of your fire wood. There are however conveniently placed community bonfire areas if you don't end up with a fire pit. Also would recommend bringing an additional pillow, as there are only two provided on the bed and they are a little lacking. These aren't complaints, just things to be aware of. Service was great -- we had originally booked a tent in the cypress area, then realized we would prefer the outer pines so we called a day before our reservation and they facilitated the switch and refunded the difference. Michelle was the one who helped us, she was great. The bathrooms on site are clean and showers are about as good as it gets for a campsite, with soap/shampoo/conditioner and towels provided. Bring flip flops though. You are about a five-minute walk from Hwy 1, and then it's a short jaunt over to the Ano Nuevo state beach which is awesome (you can see elephant seals apparently in the winter/early spring seasons). Very easy to go see the sunset, though be prepared for wind. The campsite was also quite windy, and I expect that is normal in this location, so be prepared. It got fairly cold at night but the heated blankets provided did the trick. The restaurants on site are pricy for what you get, but the food is decent. I still recommend bringing your own food to cook, as you are camping after all. The pizza place has a pretty decent bar. Overall, you can tell the place is family friendly, though it was still great as a couple. Amenities were well above average for a campground, and the staff was friendly. Will definitely be coming back someday.
