San Diego Metro KOA

This is no longer a travelers location but a locals hangout, multiple sites partying and loud music, our neighbors were up load and obnoxious until 3:30am the park didn't do anything about it.

Every year we come here and always have a great and relaxing time. We always stayed in the cabins without bathrooms and next time we are going to upgrade to a cabinet with a loft and private bathroom. It is something we look forward to every year.

This is a big KOA, nice grounds, some children's activities, heated pool and hot tub. Those are the positive qualities. The park itself is laid out poorly, tight roads, and short sites. You can fit a large rig in the sites, but you will have to spend some time moving it around to get into the sites. The sites themselves are small enough and tight enough that one evening another Class A rounded a corner too sharp, hit our tow bar, then took out our lower ladder. We were here from December 15 to January 15 to enjoy the Bay Area during the holidays. The Bay Area was great, this park was a nightmare. We have never been in a park with such inconsiderate campers before. It was utter chaos. The park says they have quiet hours, etc, yet enforcement is pretty lax. Ironic too that during the LA wild fires and fire watch in this area that the park continued to sell firewood and allow campfires. With a monthly site rental you have to pay for power at this park. They are not very clear on the power charges when you check in, but you will become very familiar when you check out. Their current rates for electric are .40 per kilowatt hour for first 25, then it jumps up to .50 for everything there after. Now of course that's not the going rate for electricity in the Bay Area, this is just the KOA price gouging the monthly renter. Absolutely appalling to us as full time travelers. There is a nice tree canopy, yet that will impede your satellite services and of course the trees bring the birds, which equals some nasty quantities of droppings. Of course, that is no fault of the KOA, but you should be aware up front. The pools and hot tubs were heated, yet so highly chlorinated that it burned your eyes and nose. Our kids rented a deluxe cabin that slept 6 for a long weekend while we were here. The cabin did not have enough bedding for the beds and when we asked for more bedding they were told there was none available. Why have cabins for 6 and not provide adequate bedding is beyond me. Not only that, the kitchen was stocked with 4 place settings, etc for 6 occupants. Really a poorly managed park. The options in the Bay Area are very limited, we picked this park based on reviews and certainly wish we would have explored other options. Needless to say we will never return to this park. We camped at San Diego Metro KOA Resort in a Motorhome.
