SANTA MARGARITA KOA is a rustic, rural campground carved into the side of a hill on 70 acres covered in oaks and pines. Retreat to a nature-lover's paradise in a natural setting with panoramic vistas, rolling terrain, and secluded campsites. All of our roads and sites are dirt. Expect steep terrain, hard ground, cool nights and dark skies year-round. Come prepared with soft sleeping pads, warm sleeping bags, warm clothes, comfy shoes, flashlights and lanterns. We sell nice oak firewood for your warming and BBQ'ing pleasure. Our convenience store carries camping essentials like ice, beer, soda, juice, water, candy, chips and s'more stuff. If you want fresh grub or a hot meal, swing by a grocery store or restaurant in San Luis Obispo or Atascadero before heading our way.
SANTA MARGARITA LAKE is just one-half mile away, where you can enjoy fishing, hiking, biking, boat rentals and horse trails...but NO SWIMMING. Santa Margarita Lake is a "Quiet Lake" that provides drinking water for local residents so you cannot swim in it. You can walk or bike in for FREE or pay $10 per vehicle for Day Use. You can rent kayaks, fishing boats and pontoon boats at really reasonable rates. There is excellent fishing for bass, catfish, crappie and blue gill.
DAY TRIPS: We are located within an hour's drive or less from Hearst Castle, Cambria, Ocean Dunes, Pismo Beach, Morro Bay, local wineries, Pozo National Forest, and many other great local attractions! Monterey and Santa Barbara are also great day trips when visiting California's Central Coast.
STARGAZING: After a day enjoying the outdoors, relax around your campfire and the crickets and frogs will serenade you... along with beautiful birds singing in chorus.

Located in a lovely woody scenario, with well spaced sites, this place looses a star looses one star for the price and one star for maintenance level - according to the chart in the men's bathroom no one cleaned it for 6 days, and it showed. Also the jumping balloon was deflated. With a bit of effort they can do a lot better.

The people who works at KOA santa margarita are so friendly and accommodating. The place is so clean and our kids enjoyed the pool and jumper. I want to thank Ms Michelle booking us at the overflow site on a 3 days notice. She made it work for us. She is genuinely nice and has a happy personality. It shows to the other employees too. I will definitely come back here again with my family and with my motorcycle rider friends. This place is awesome ! 4A-4-D overflow site.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at KOA and it was an excellent experience. The campsite was incredibly spacious, providing plenty of room to set up comfortably and enjoy the natural surroundings without feeling cramped. The amenities were top-notch, making our stay even more enjoyable. Everything we needed was readily available, and it was clear that the facilities were well-maintained and thoughtfully designed. The staff at KOA were particularly impressive, always ready to assist with a friendly and helpful attitude. Whether we had questions about the area or needed help with campsite logistics, they were knowledgeable and eager to assist. Overall, I was very pleased with my stay and am already looking forward to my next visit. I would definitely recommend this campsite to anyone looking for a well-equipped, spacious, and welcoming place to enjoy the great outdoors.

Quiet, no road noise or bright lights. Showers, laundry, pool, dog park and camp store on-site. Very steep except at the bottom of the hill. Staff was super friendly and helpful. They were also able to accommodate an extended stay over what I had booked, due to trailer repairs. Cell and Internet can be spotty, but drive a quarter mile down the hill, park beneath the shade tree and you have an instant mobile office. The entire campground was spotless and fellow campers obeyed the speed limit and quiet hours. Lots of wildlife within the camp, turkeys, ground squirrels, deer, woodpeckers and more. A great place to relax and enjoy nature.
