They do provide a firepit, concrete table and "cooking square" as well. Parking spots can fit up to 2 vehicles. There is NO shade at any of the rental spots so make sure to provide your own as it gets very, very hot in the sun and in your tent. The bathrooms were very clean and well stocked and had warm water. We were able to fit 2 (4-6 person) tents very comfortably with lots of room to spare in one spot and 2 (8-10 person) tents in the other very tightly next to each other. We had a group of 4 adults and 12 children and were very comfortable in our 3 spots right next to each together.

We recently spent 3 days / 2 nights in one of the resort's bayfront cottages (there are only six of…read morethese available). The cottage can accommodate up to six guests, but our stay was just for me, my wife, and our wheaten terrier. This review reflects our experience specifically as cottage guests, since those staying in RV spaces may have a very different experience. It was also our first visit to this RV resort, and we did not participate in many of the on-site activities. That said, we truly enjoyed our stay. The resort was very clean, the staff was welcoming and engaging with guests, and we appreciated how dog-friendly the property is. The location is also excellent -- conveniently close to the I-5 freeway, nearby walking and bicycling trails, downtown Chula Vista, and the newly built Gaylord Resort property less than half a mile to the south. While amenities such as the pickleball courts, swimming pool, hot tubs, and putting green looked inviting, we did not personally use them during this visit. We ate dinner at the on-site café both evenings, and every dish we ordered was reasonably priced, generously portioned, and served fresh and hot. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout. We tried the Baja Burger, Fish & Chips, Steak & Frites, Cheesesteak, crinkle-cut fries, pretzel buns, and churros -- all were delicious, and we would happily order them again without hesitation. Our bayside cottage was clean, well maintained, and offered beautiful views of the wildlife preserve between the resort and San Diego Bay. The two-bedroom layout provided more than enough space for us and our medium-sized dog. We especially enjoyed the fire pit, along with the covered first-level patio and uncovered second-level patio facing the bay. Although we didn't use the barbecue grill, it was spotless and clearly ready for guests to use for grilling steaks, burgers, hot dogs, or anything else they wished. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would absolutely consider returning for another local staycation.

We were really disappointed with our recent stay. This was our second visit, but both nights we…read morewere kept awake by a cottage across from us that had DJ/karaoke equipment, large speakers OUTSIDE and hosted a loud party that went until around 12:00 am. Legitimately the absolute WORST singers we have ever heard. Think screeching drunk idiots yelling into a microphone while you are trying to enjoy your fire pit and relax. The most frustrating part was that we called staff and were told that since quiet hours didn't start until 11:00 p.m., nothing could be done regardless of how loud it was. The party also appeared to include excessive underage drinking, which was concerning at a family resort. We came here expecting a fun, relaxing family vacation, not two nights of disrupted sleep. It's unfortunate because we enjoyed our first stay, but this experience definitely makes us think twice about returning.

Got a text from the KOA about rules and regulations on noises and leaving stuff out like bikes. Which don't have bikes and we played a Latin music for about 10 minute in the day time and not quite time 10pm. We didn't leave any food out. We had an RV toy hauler.

Our stay at the San Diego KOA exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we arrived, it was…read moreclear the property is exceptionally well maintained--clean, clearly marked, and beautifully landscaped with mature trees, manicured bushes, and vibrant flowers throughout. We especially loved the fire pits, and the firewood delivery service was impressively fast and convenient. Our cabin was another highlight--spotless, thoughtfully appointed, and incredibly comfortable. The air conditioning worked perfectly, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Getting around the campground was easy, and it was simple to connect with other family members staying nearby. Despite seeing some reviews mentioning noise, we experienced none at all--just a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. Check-in was quick and seamless, and every staff member we encountered was warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Their friendliness really added to the overall experience. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and will absolutely recommend it to friends and family. Whether you're traveling as a couple or with family, this is a fantastic place to stay. Room - We rented the Deluxe Cabin (Full Bath with Shower), KOA Patio ® Sleeping Loft. One room had a queen-sized bed, another very small room had a bunkbed (2 beds total), there was a couch in the main area that folded out and there was a large loft space with what looked to be a queen-sized mattress. Note, you couldn't stand up in the loft (perhaps small kids could - I'm 5'2" and could not). Kitchen had decent sized fridge, stove, microwave, toaster, pots, pans, and utensils. Outside was a propane grill (worked great), a fire pit with 4 Adirondack chairs and tables and an umbrella covered picnic table with I believe 6 chairs. There was also a stand up bar height table by the fire pit. And I almost forgot the best part - one bathroom with sink, toilet and shower. Linens provided (bed and bath). Nearby activities: Very easy to travel to all the sites from this location (beaches, parks, zoo, etc.) SafetyI felt very safe staying here as a female. Food & drinks: They have a cafe of sorts on site but we did not check it out. Of note: Some of the outer perimeter tent campsites were right off the freeway. My cousin who stayed there said it was a little bit noisy. Where we were DC203 was very quiet and peaceful.

Waking up to the view of the San Diego bay, skyline, and the Coronado bridge every morning was amazing. This place is extremely clean. Although the location offers full hook up services, my friends and I chose to use the shared facility offered on site for showering and to go number two. Each RV space were spread out from other campers and offer enough space to park two extra cars. The campsite even had picnic tables for each area, bonfire pits, and self-laundry service. Unfortunately, you do have to be in the military to reserve a spot here. However, this is also a plus because it less crowded than other locations. I cannot wait to go back and next time I will be more prepared to bring more water sports equipment to enjoy some fun in the water! We were in spot #52 near the buoy line and you can see the fishes jump up from the water.

There's a section of the beach toward the south where dogs can play totally legal.

I got bit about a week or so ago and thank goodness that Macy was there as a lifeguard. I had my foot bleeding in a boiling water pail for 45 minutes, and then she told me what to do to get antibiotics and start them right away. It was really a great thing that a lifeguard didn't have to do but did.

The cliff views were dramatic and beautiful, and we also loved that the trail felt very peaceful and quiet. Afterward, we drove down to the beach lot and walked along the beach for about an hour to admire the cliffs from below. Overall, it was an amazing visit and one of our favorite stops in San Diego.

Still, I keep coming back because the view is absolutely worth it, especially in the late afternoon when the sun starts going down. Every time I've visited, it's been pretty busy, but it never really feels overcrowded because the area is so open and spread out. One thing I noticed is that I haven't really seen any lifeguards around, so if you don't know how to swim, I wouldn't recommend climbing down into the water. I also see a lot of people walking their dogs here, which is something I personally like. Between the ocean views, the sunset, and all the people out enjoying the outdoors, it's just a nice place to spend part of the day.
