Welcome to the Salinas/Monterey KOA. We offer the lowest prices in the Monterey and Santa Cruz area. We are only 7 miles from the Coast, making us a great base camp for exploring the Monterey Peninsula area and all the attractions.
Nobel Prize-winning author, John Steinbeck, captured the beauty of the Monterey Coast and its beach side and inland communities in his landmark books. Visitors can enjoy an easy 20-minute drive to Monterey and take in the world famous Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row. Visit Carmel and take the beautiful 17-mile drive at Pebble Beach or spend the day at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. We are also close to local wineries, where wine tasting is the jewel of Monterey County.
Stay in one of our Deluxe Cabins, with all the amenities and comfort of a hotel room, or bring your RV and enjoy camping. We have both pull through and back in RV sites, and can accommodate up to a 40' RV.
Our neighboring farms have roosters and peacocks, and you will often hear roosters crowing and peacocks screaming, crowing or meowing.
Our Pool is Open All Year and Heated!!!
