Nice restaurant and bar on-site. I would probably not stay here gain because of the staff, they are very rude. For an RV spot that we paid $220 per night for, we would expect more space between sites.

This is such a gem. We stayed in the canvas tents for 2 nights. We went in December so it was very chilly but the electric blanket kept us warm. The sunsets were stunning and the coastal views were breathtaking. I can't wait to come back!

What an AMAZING place! Such a gem hidden on the coast. We take our RV here whenever we can. Nothing like overlooking the ocean while camping. Even if you don’t like to camp, they offer a beautiful lodge hotel, cabins, and tent cabins. The general store on site has it all and more. Very friendly staff and always helpful. We enjoyed their pet friendly patio at the Cascade restaurant with Elizabeth as our server and bartender. She is AWESOME! Very friendly and knowledgeable. Her Basil sour (and rosemary sour), were such well made refreshing cocktails. My husband and I shared a huge French dip sandwich with “dirty” fries and an artichoke with goat cheese. They even made a plain hamburger patty for our dog Molly. She was thrilled too :) The only down side of the stay was that Pine Tent was closed during the week…. That was a huge bummer as the last time they served small bites, ice cream, and hosted live music. Overall, everything is very clean here and well kept. We can’t wait to return!

The Costanoa/Santa Cruz North KOA is the 64th stop and we stayed for 7 nights. If you are on a tight budget or looking to save money, this is not the place for you and is the most expensive park for us to date. But I have to say that this is one of the best KOAs we have stayed so far. Just over an hour from San Francisco and 25 minutes from Santa Cruz, you are in an idyllic setting about a quarter mile off the Pacific Coast Highway and have views and sounds of the ocean from the park. Older growth pine and eucalyptus trees, great landscaping, coastal trails, light houses, and a myriad of activities for families (on the weekend off-season). Sites are nicely laid out and there is space between you and your neighbor. Some nice grass areas including the dog park. Initially, leveling was an issue as it was off 4 degrees to the front of the rig. Have not used the facilities other than the washer/dryers – only knock is how few there are. Have not interacted with many of the staff but the registration couple is friendly and the maintenance staff and house keeping always smile and wave. Would recommend this park and rate it a 4.5. The public wifi was weak except mid-day. During peak times, it was a struggle to pull up emails and basic social media. There is no T-Mobile service at all. Verizon 3.4 down/0.1 up at 5:45 pm. WiFi 0.74 down 0.14 up. For streaming, used a Verizon jet pack with an antennae booster and worked adequately.

Oh man. Third is tough. The KOA itself is amazing. We came out from Denver and ended up getting a cabin and a camp site. The father in law had the camp site while the kids and I had the cabin. What ever you do, do not drive across the KOA to offload the family unless you want the security on you about having 2 vehicles at a camp site. I understand that you are trying to maintain a great property but my 2 kids are under 4 y/o but when I cant even drop the kids off without being harassed, it took the vibe right away. Then security was giving a friend of ours a hard time about his converted camper. They questioned whether it was a true camper. It was, they eventually let him in. Then, the next morning, wouldnt you know it, good ol security came cruising up in their fancy little security golf cart and started harassing our friend AGAIN asking if it was a legitimate camper. Come on, he already checked in and went through one rough of what felt like interrogations, now he had to go through it a second time. I would love to come back again, but the way security had it out for our group, we will be passing by and not stopping. Sad because it is such a great property.

We really enjoyed our stay at this park. Such a beautiful setting, plenty to do, very clean and the staff was very cheerful and helpful. We definitely will be returning!

Always a beautiful location, nice weather. The website says activities were open but it seems like the activities are only open on weekends so don't plan on renting bikes or joining yoga unless you're there on a weekend. The website calendar isn't updated and we weren't able to get much info while there. Loved the mobile bar cart!
