This is a beautiful campground and my wife and I were excited to come here instead of where we normally go in Half Moon Bay. We set up the motor home and sat outside watching some tv in the afternoon but we soon had to leave because of the putrid smell throughout the whole campground. When we went to get dinner in town we stopped at the front desk and the nice people said it’s called the Petaluma aroma. The resort is surrounded on three sides by very large chicken farms. And right next to our campsite is a cattle feeding yard. After returning from dinner we tried again to be outside but soon had to go indoors because of the stench of the chicken and cattle ranches. My wife used to own a large hen laying ranch and dairy but even she couldn’t take the smell. I hate giving bad reviews because my family used to own one of the largest tv resorts in Northern California but this one’s bad, at least when we were there. We’re going to leave for the day so we don’t have to smell this all day then come back in the evening.

I hosted our RV club and had 12 plus rigs in the campground for a whole weekend. Everything was excellent. The maintenance staff went out of their way to make sure was perfect. Kathleen our group coordinator was easy to work with. Overall, we had a great time.

We stayed in a deluxe cabin. It was so cute and clean. Very comfortable bed and had all the needed essentials. What a great way to stay! The staff was very friendly. The campground is beautifully landscaped and maintained. I enjoy walking the large campground and enjoying all its beautiful plants and trees. You will love it!

This was a wonderful KOA to stay at. Their spaces were lovely and large! We were there as a couple but this park would be fantastic for kids with their play area, pool, & just space to ride bikes & play! Lots of good area to walk our dog plus a puppy park to let him off leash! Bathrooms & showers were well kept & clean! Spaces were cleaned up nicely as well. We stayed here because of the convenience of being able to get over to Sonoma/Napa, but also go to the ocean!

We stayed one night as a stop over. Very nice park, easy to navigate the roads if you follow the map, and clean. I forgot our Firestick for streaming, DoorDash came to the rescue, although you must meet them outside the park. I like the bracelet UI, nice to easily charge to our site, and card on file. My only complaint is the price, at $130 for a simple pull standard pull though seems a bit much. StarLink was decent.
