Stayed two nights. Love the family atmosphere, but unfortunately I had to deal with drunken male on night two. Loads of drinking here; drunk adults and loud. I felt unsafe as a solo female traveler. I took off from this park as fast as I could! I travel KOA’s around the states and I will not return.

This is a large KOA. Spacing is typical for a KOA but not too crowded. There is a lot of activities for kids and 2 dog parks onsite. There's plenty of space for walking around the campground as well.
They have a cafe that serves food, bike rentals, multiple playgrounds, a pool etc. Being in the off season, it was full of kids on the weekends and then fairly quite on the week days.
The staff is friendly, the grounds are very clean and the bathrooms are nice. I didn't use the shower or laundry. They also have onsite propane.
The location is great (only 10 min to San Diego) but yet it was an easy on/off the freeway. The local area it's in (Chula Vista) was not that nice but didn't feel dangerous, just run down.
Price was high but not unexpected for the area. If I were going to stay in San Diego again, I'd stay here for sure.
I didn't try to use their wifi but hotspots were good. ATT was 10mb d/l and Verizon was 49mb d/l without a booster.
Cable channels were good and 50 amp FHU was strong.

Stayed here two nights while exploring San Diego but wish we could have stayed more because there is so much to do in the area. KOA had easy check-in and roads are marked so it's easy to find your spot within the property. We had full Verizon cell service. Grounds were clean, shady and peaceful. This KOA has a construction area where it looks like they're building a new, beautiful pool area. They also have bounce pillows, climbing wall and snack shack. Lots of fun for kids, if you have them. We stayed not for the amenities, but for the convenient location.
Showers were clean and separate from bathrooms. You get your own private shower room. Love that.
Our site was a nice, level concrete pull-thru. It's KOA, so they're usually tight but these were larger KOA sites. They have landscaping that somewhat hides the neighbors' hook-ups. You can hear distant freeway noise but not enough to ding them for it. It's the city. Employees constantly driving the campground so it felt safe.
We will be back to the San Diego area and would stay here again. The Maritime Museum was a full day for us. They have ships, including the Star of India, as well as subs you can explore. Overall, a good place for basecamp while exploring.

We used to live in San Diego and were worried about the accessibility to the city and surrounding areas from Chula Vista. It’s about 8 miles from most places you’d want to go have nice dinners and nightlife, but it’s an easy drive.
This is laid out like most KOAs with not much space between pads. There are a lot of nice share trees though, and the recently upgraded pool and hot tub are big and super well done. There’s clean upgraded, modern shower stalls and laundry room, and an on-site cafe that serves hot food and has a few craft beers on tap.

We met up with our daughter and grandsons for a weekend of fun. (It was also a special Christmas weekend so there were lots of scheduled activities.) In addition to all the many things to do in San Diego area, there was something to please everyone. This was the highest we've ever paid to stay anywhere and there was nothing to complain about. Nice new pool and hot tub area; clean, functioning showers, restrooms and laundry. Smooth registration. Attractive landscaping, level site. A little noisy over the weekend with lots of kids/families, plus some highway noise. Wi-fi barely adequate but our AT&T was excellent and Verizon was 3 bars. We want to come back next year!

This is a great site that’s close to the city activity (zoo, balboa park, gaslamp). If you’re looking for serenity, this isn’t it but if you want to come visit San Diego and not pay for a hotel room and have a campfire once or twice then this is perfect. The only drawback is the freeway noise.

If your idea of camping includes full hookups, pool, hot tub, kitchen facilities open to all, immaculately clean showers, a massive maintenance team taking care of the park, and a restaurant with a bar, boy have you found your place. Everything about this facility screams beautiful and loved. There's a bit of construction going on by the pool right now, but otherwise the place is old growth trees, well manicured sites... heck they have a street sweeper that runs through the property and sites to keep stuff clean.
Only downfall of this location is its in a bowl surrounded by two highways and an avenue. The highway noise is noticeable outside, but you're in suburban Chula Vista, not a national park. Navy helicopters go overhead occasionally; again, you're within spitting distance of Pacific command.

We stayed here for 4 nights while visiting San Diego. It’s clean, well cared for, well maintained and impressive. Lots of amenities and short drive to Sea World, the Zoo etc. would stay here again in a heart beat.
