Santa Cruz North/Costanoa KOA is an eco-adventure resort designed to encourage guests to explore the stunning beauty of the protected California coastline. This KOA creates many opportunities to retreat from the chaos of everyday life through hiking, mountain biking, music, art exhibits, kayaking, spa treatments and other activities. The campground strives to develop programs and methods to reinforce its uncompromising commitment to the environment. At this campground, the most visible landmark is Pigeon Point Lighthouse, just three miles north. This distinctive lighthouse has watched over the sheer cliffs and rocky shore since 1872. Its white tower has weathered shipwrecks, rumrunners, a fire, earthquakes, modern technology and even politics.
We offer an array of activities from guided naturalist hikes, horseback riding, and kayaking to art exhibits, mountain biking, and Spa treatments. The Cascade Bar & Grille serves California coastal cuisine, including local California wines and seafood. Costanoa is committed to reducing the impact of our operation on the environment in which we live and work. We are constantly developing new programs and methods to reinforce our uncompromising commitment to the environment and to social responsibility.

I guess I wish they could update the RV park just a tad bit. Quite pricey @ $80-$90 for what one receives in my world. Earthy is the theme here? Will okay... But I wish the foods at the restaurant were a little less earthly and a little more on the tasty side. On the upside our bar-tender poured a rather healthy cocktail to be sure (woohoo, we think it was to cover up the cardboard flavors of our 6 different dinner meals).
The area is very nice with the beach area, far more then a stones throw away. Pretty lodge with all sorts of things to pamper your body and soul. Plan on using your air miles card... You just might charge up enough, for free airfare to Hawaii after a weekend at this place, yes it is that pricey at the lodge to pamper yourself (but I'm worth it, or so I keep telling my Husbear).
The turn for this place is NOT WELL MARKED and comes up VERY FAST. Use your GPS and look at it before hitting the road for a few landmarks. VERY EASY TO MISS THIS TURN OFF.
