Campground Reviews

Our stay at the Petaluma KOA is always a 10! We love the staff and the property. Can't wait to go back in the spring!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Check-in was easy. The facilities are nice, however, we only visited the store/office and did not use the bathrooms. The pull thru site was easy to access and depart. I have issue with charging for visitors to come to the campground. I understand the need to control the amount of visitors, but charging for people to come seems excessive.

Thank you for the great service and cleanliness and preparation of the cabins. We all had a wonderful time this weekend. We are planning on a bigger get together so we might have like 25 or more people but KOA will be the place. Thank you so much.

I had great service. The park is lovely, and I loved staying there. I loved the hot tub and was happy it did not have jets. I also talked with the manager and he was very nice too. I have already recommended the KOA to others and will stay there again but probably in the winter when the rates are lowest5.

I know we stayed off-season, but we would have loved some of the amenities open for the kids to enjoy.

You put me in a recently remodeled site B22. The lower area around B22 smelled like sewage. The site itself needs to have gravel added to the parking area as the area was really wet and extremely muddy due to lack of gravel.

everything was great, weather, going to Dillon Beach & Bodega bay, nice walks now the cons - your WiFi is the worst - constantly had to re-connect the signal just finally gave up and watched on my phone -

We had a short but very nice stay. The facilities are very nice!

Very nice park although very pricey. But the park, facilities & roads are clean, well maintained, & safe. It is convenient to tourist destinations. Although fees are high, we will pay the high price & stay again.

This campground is very, very large. The campsites are on the smaller side and close together. Other than that, it is great. Showers and restrooms are clean. The campground it is extremely clean as well. We had a very relaxing stay.

On receipt we were suppose to be in the Redwood Grove area area A1-A14. When we arrived we were put in the valley view area next to the bathroom and propane tank. Luckily it being Thanksgiving there was 1 spot across the way from us that we were switched to switch to but can't understand why the area we paid for was changed.

The new end sites in the redwoods are fantastic! Lots of room with a cool swing and firepit! Seemed like there were a lot of full-timers, but none caused any issues. We like KOA Petaluma so much we booked our next stay before we left the park!

Stayed 5 nights for Thanksgiving with friends and family. We had a great time. We booked it again for next year. This is a great campground!

Great place. Besides for the jumping pillow being down for maintance " which is understandable" just had to keep the kids occupied a bit more lol. Cant wait to make a trip back.

The cabin 199 had ant infestation in bedroom, restroom and kitchen. Management responded immediately by having maintenance come over to spray. The ants were still there in the evening and management offered me to change cabin. I really appreciated it.

Love this park. Always clean.

Had a great time at Thanksgiving, but it was cold and gets dark really early. Staff was great when I decided to stay two more days. The workers are friendly. Will be back soon.

Really nice camp ground.

We paid to dollar to camp in a great location. I was very disappointed that the cable didn’t work as promised in the brochure. Internet was extremely weak. No assistance from staff to remedy the issue

Great customer service and excellent for kids.

Staff was friendly and the grounds were clean. We enjoyed the spot we were assigned. We liked the feeling of isolation.

First time here and will come back for sure!

Welcomed and safe. Lots of activities for kiddos. Love the playground area. Walking around it's open and beautiful. Will be back for sure next year.

Nice stay for one week.

Petaluma KOA is always great to stay at. My family and I have been coming here since 2006 and it has only gotten better with time. There are a lot of fun activities to do together and it is nice to be out in fresh air. It’s very clean, kept up well, and accessible.
Nov 26, 2023
Very disappointed this year. In the past there were events for the kids. No petting zoo and no bouncing air balloon for the kids this year. Kids were very disappointed.
Nov 26, 2023
Highly disappointed this year. The jump pillow was never inflated, even though we were told when we checked in it would be on the next day. The petting zoo area was closed and no activities were held for the kids. We were told it was off season so nothing is open but the pool. When we were there the same time last year, they had so much stuff for the kids to do.
Nov 26, 2023
Didn’t get site that was requested. Was told to pay extra money on top of what I already had been quoted. Scam

Great park, awesome staff, always ready help. Very peaceful yet many things to do. Thanks for sharing your thanksgiving dinner invitation. Such an awesome place.

The two campsites across from us were very loud both nights we stayed. We couldn't even sit by the campfire without being overpowered by their music and them yelling over their music. For the amount we paid each night, I expected more class from the campers.
Nov 26, 2023
Not all kid facilities were available so that took some fun out of the experience
Nov 26, 2023
Nice campground but we were in a space next to and across from VERY noisy people. We don’t mind people having fun but quiet time was not enforced. We would have preferred a less busy campsite. Our short stay was to visit family in town so we were only at our site for short periods of time in the morning and back in the evening otherwise we may have changed sites and/or left early.

Typically we love Petaluma KOA. We pick this place for extras it has for the kids. But this year the bounce pillow was closed, no animals to visit and no nightly hay ride. It did not feel like we got what we paid for. It felt like a typical camp ground with just the playground. Not sure we will be back for our annual Thanksgiving week trip next.
Nov 25, 2023
Sites were beautiful and spacious. Disappointed with the lack of activities this year. Being blamed for the neighbor’s loudness and trash was also not cool. Beautiful place but high prices.
Nov 25, 2023
This is just beautiful, and so well maintained
Nov 24, 2023
Best KOA park we have stayed in so far.
Nov 23, 2023
Bocce ball court is never in good condition. Pool is never heated.
Nov 23, 2023
always a great KOA to stay at.

Very nice campground. We stayed here and made trips into San Francisco. Wish we could have stayed here another day or so to relax, but the site was already booked.
Nov 22, 2023
Loved the upgrades to the Redwood Grove sites. Bathrooms were clean, park was clean. The biggest negative was the Wi-Fi, are the lack of reliable Wi-Fi. We were in two different sites and neither had a good Wi-Fi signal. If the Wi-Fi was stronger this would have been a different review.

I paid extra to reserve the space we wanted. However, when we checked in they gave me a different spot. I didn't realize at first but then when I did I asked them if they was the spot I had originally reserved and the guy at the desk then said no. I was then told I was moved because someone reserved our spot for a longer stay. I never received an email about the changes that was made.
Nov 22, 2023
The staff was very courteous and responsive. The park was beautiful and I appreciate how you continue to improve and make it better for visitors. I've been several times and will definitely be back.

The campground is nice but be aware that if you need to do laundry there, you are forced to sign up for an app on your phone in order to use their machines that do not accept credit cards or coins. My husband and I have traveled all over the country and this is the first time we have encountered this. We didn't want to have to acquired an unwanted app on our phones and the instructions for acquiring it aren't easy. So we had to haul our laundry to a local laundromat and as we were leaving we saw other guests taking their laundry back after they left too. I complained nicely to a staff member who didn't seem to care. Having said that the campground is nice, surrounded by pine trees and redwoods. It's real advantage is being near the ferry boats going over to San Francisco. Be aware, while there is a local train going to the ferry, where it lets you off is three quarters to a mile walk to the ferry. In rain it would be very unpleasant and no one tells you how far the walk is. It is better to drive your car to the ferry and pay the $2 on the digital parking meter. We took the train once and drove three other times. Other than that, the campground is in a nice setting and near wine country too.

We went for a wine country weekend. It's the perfect location. Right between Sonoma and Santa Rosa. We stayed in a lodge. It was very nice. The pool was great. It was fun to see everyone having so much fun. The customer service was very friendly. I will go back.

We booked last minute and we're totally happy with our first KOA experience. The office staff and groundskeepers are out of this world friendly. My husband and I were traveling without the kiddo or the dogs, but if you have young kids with you, this is the place to stay! SO MANY kids and they're all running around playing and riding bikes/scooters. If little kid laughter bugs you, then be advised. There's a dog park, a petting zoo and the office has beer, wine 😉 and souvenirs. My only comment would be that laundry is not available 24/7 - only until 6 pm (even though it's behind closed doors) and that quiet hours last until 8 am (would've preferred 7 am since we had our motorcycle).
