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.

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.

My family of four (plus our golden retriever pup) had a lovely stay at the Santa Margarita KOA! We stayed in a private yurt, which was very spacious and clean. The campground was extremely nice and had wonderful amenities for the kids (jumping pillow, playground, horseshoes, volleyball, basketball, etc.). There was even an enclosed dog park, which our pup enjoyed. And the staff was amazing and super friendly. The site manager even went above-and-beyond and delivered a bag of ice after hours directly to our campsite! Needless to stay, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to our next visit!
