Santa Margarita KOA Holiday
Cindi Hutman
It has a lot of amenities, but we got there late and had to leave early, so our review is skewed. I tried to call to get directions and let them know we would be late. No one answered or returned my call. It is not well marked, so took us an extra 15 minutes longer to find it. It is 7 miles away from anything and is hard to find, so more signs would be helpful.

My partner and friends and I stayed here for 3 nights. I was pleased with the condition of the sites as soon as we pulled in. There was a concrete patio pad with a nice patio set to use during our stay,. Our site was raked out and totally level. There was plenty, of room between sites and a wide road so passing traffic was not an issue. The restrooms and showers are nothing fancy, but they were clean and got the job done. Although I did not get a chance to use it, the pool was open an appeared clean and tidy. The staff was very friendly, right frrom the moment of check in. There was a bees nest near our water spigot and staff immediately come out to spray. We enjoyed our stay here at this quiet KOA. Nice job. Highly recommend!

The camping is very quiet. The staff was kind. However this is definitely not a 110 dollars a weeknight. 20% of the insides streets are destroid asphalt, the other 80% is dirt. The whole campground is lacking maintenance. We stayed two days. They never cleaned the bathrooms. We couldn't use them. The pool area was pitiful. The umbrellas need to be all replaced. The tables and umbrellas based weren't cleaned in ages. The playground was sad to see. Wifi is almost non existant. We were under the wifi repeater and couldn't watch a world cup game on the tv or on the phone. I won't be going back to this place.

The location is a little out of the way depending on what you want to do. The showers are small, but decent. The staff is nice and there are plenty of activities for the kids on the weekends.

My review is 5 stars because I like the hilly walks, the nature and my kids did too. But I have to juxtapose that to my wife who had challenges and her father had challenges too. This KOA is top tier if you are looking for Southern California nature. But if you have mobility issues, or looking for something more urban, it is probably a no go.

It was okay, they said that our cabin was near the bathroom and it was not. It was a long walk and then up a very steep staircase. We came back to the cabin during our second day of our stay and the entire room was covered in biting ants. I emptied the room and left and didn't stay the next night. And there really wasn't any food in the room, the ants were all over a couple of dog chewies that had a minute amount of chicken left on them (probably the heat drove them inside). If you rent a cabin there I would definitely suggest spraying around the outside of the cabin before you bring anything inside. The dog park was maybe the worst I've ever seen. Not maintained, no shade. They could have put in any number of places that were better. The pool was nice and clean.

Absolutely MAGICAL!!! What a lovely place. Cabins nice and quaint. All the hiking and outdoors you could imagine with a quick jaunt down to the lake. Campfires by night under the stars. Nothing better! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

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.

This place is absolutely stunning and their commitment to service above and beyond. I was coming back from a trip at Pinnacles National Park and was too tired to drive all the way back home, so I reached out and was able to book a site last minute. Karen, the owner, answered the call herself and was able to accommodate my last minute request. I definitely plan on stopping by at a later date.

Have visited many KOA's in my travels, id say this one is on my my top 5 best list. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I rented a five person yurt, it was excellent. Very nice and clean. Had electric inside and water just out the door. Short walk to the clean bathroom and shower. Great experience all around.
