San Diego Metro KOA

Two problems with my stay here and it wasn't the park's fault. The number one problem were the kids not respecting your campsite boundaries.Not only did they ride their bikes through my site, but a couple of kids picked up giant mushrooms growing in the grass and hurled them at the back of my trailer. I was inside and hear the thuds. I came out and told them to scram. I wasn't a happy camper. Not the campground's fault. Also my site was under some power lines that birds would sit on and then have a BM on my trailer. Again, not the campground's fault. In hindsight, I would look for sites that were on the perimeter of the campground and possibly back in sites. I guess I learned that at campgrounds with kids activities, you don't want to be in their line of travel to those activities. It really is a very nice campground. I would stay here again, but choose my site wisely.

This was our first place after buying our travel trailer. We were here over Christmas. It was quite pleasant, the employees were friendly and helpful, the grounds were neat, restrooms very clean. Standard pull through sites seem small though and next time we will get one of the patio sites. It was close to freeways so a bit noisy when you're outside but didn't keep us awake. All in all avery good first experience. I'm considering it again for Christmas this year.

Great place, we had a very large tent site that was in the corner and only had one neighbor. The site was nearly perfect, but basket ball court is on the other side of hedge and was loud into the night. Just kids having fun and glad they could. Dog park was a really nice touch and had all kinds of agility course things. Pool is amazing and lots of amenities. Our two nights were mid-week - Tues and Weds and unfortunately these were the exact two days the cafe was closed. I was able to walk to some shopping since moving the truck would take some tear down. Check in was fast and friendly. Weather was perfect, some traffic noise during the night, but not terrible.

PREFACE: Perplexed because I simply cannot figure out how there can be SO MANY kids and dogs here, given the average size of a coach/fifth wheel/trailer. There are at least 200 slips here plus a bunch of cabins and tiny houses. After careful consideration and observation, we have concluded that each individual dwelling unit contains 2.4 adults, 12.7 persons under the age of 18 (PUTAOE) and 1.9 dogs. (This is sarcasm however there are ALOT of children here.)

This is by far the best looking park we’ve stayed in so far; the landscaping is absolutely lush and our two small senior dogs LOVE all the grass and are doing their best to keep it fertilized.

Most of the slips are pull-through with full hookups, level concrete pads, DIsh Network cable TV. Very large pool area and lots of bikes and stuff for rent. Have not been to bath house or laundry however given the way the place is maintained, I’m sure they’re spotless.

AT&T is two bars and property internet is a decent 19 Mb down and 5 Mb up. I’m confident the hamster team here is following the best organic vegan non-GMO diet and a strict exercise routine to create this bandwidth on a daily basis. Bravo!

Average daily rate pre-tax was $107.50 and we got a 10% KOA member discount so this is far and away\the most expensive place we’ve stayed and hey, this is the San Diego Metro KOA Resort! 6/10 which would be a 9/10 If they increased the spaces between rigs and decreased the ratio of PUTAOE to dwelling units. On the other hand, if you’re looking for lots of PUTAOE, look no further!

Gas prices in AZ were in the $4.90 range and we topped off in Yuma. The cheapest gas we’ve seen here in CA are in the low $6.00 range so with our 55 gallon tank, we won’t be buying any CA gas. And finally, loving the temperature here: it’s 8:30 and temp is 68! Love it!

We had the deluxe site with a nice patio, firepit, grill, picnic table and chairs. The site was very nice and they would deliver wood directly to the campsite. There is a ton of stuff for kids to do around here and my husband and I ejoyed the hot tub and used the vacuum to clean our truck. Site is well mainatined and flat and the staff helpful and nice. The highway is pretty loud, but I only noticed it at night. The sites are close together, but there are full grown trees and bushses that make it feel more private. It was a 20 minute or more drive from everywhere we wanted to visit.
