    New farm area with goats
    Patti F.

    My feelings about Costanoa are mixed. The grounds and views are amazing. I wanted to take a picture everywhere I looked, and the fresh air was so relaxing. I found Costanoa to have a great variety of lodging and activity options. It's a fun trip for families or couples trying to get away from their everyday hectic life. The Cascade Restaurant was much better than I expected and everyone in my party commented on the quality of the food. I appreciated how there is a sit down restaurant and also a casual place (Pine Tent) to get lunch or dinner. The General Store had a decent selection of snacks and drinks for purchase. I didn't get to do any activities but they all looked fun! They have a playground for kids and lawn games. There are pedal karts for rent and I saw many kids just riding around on their own bikes. However, I stayed in the Bungalow Tent and I had the worst sleep ever in my life. I have had 2 children and had to wake up throughout the night to nurse, but it did not compare to the terrible sleep I had in my tent. The tent is made of sturdy canvas and it has a door and windows. I noticed that my window was broken so it didn't close completely. At night, the temperature drops quite a bit but there is no heater in the tent. They do provide heated blankets. The Outer Pine area where my tent was located, was extremely windy. I don't know if this was unusual but I am assuming it's pretty normal for the area. As a result, the tent sides were flapping continuously from about 10pm-4am. When the wind finally died down, animals (maybe raccoons) started jumping and walking on my tent roof. As a result, I could not sleep from 4-6am. I barely got any rest for my one night at Costanoa. I was staying there for a yoga retreat, so I had to do hikes and yoga the next day. Boy, was I exhausted! It's inconvenient for females to have to walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night. It's really dark, cold, and windy, so be prepared. There is only 1 indoor shower stall in each bathroom building (why??) and I didn't even take a shower because the other women were complaining that the water kept getting cold and then hot. I do want to return to Costanoa, but I'd never stay in the tents again. I would, however, like to try staying at The Lodge!

    This is a very clean and well maintained campin/ RV park spot. They also have a tent camping area. As well as small cabins and house keeping tents. We did RV and tent camping in our spot. 6 people maximum with RV hook ups and a platform area for the tent. The bathrooms were steps away and toilets and showers always clean. Some have additional fire place with sauna area for free. The spots are very close to each other they do not waste space. Each area comes with a fire pit. So privacy can be tough as well as noise. You must be mindful most days at 10pm everyone was quiet and asleep. There is a drink cart that came on our last day (Thursday afternoon) and sold stiff adult beverages. For about 20 a pop. One left me side ways- not complaining!!! :) The little convenience store has a bit of everything. Merch, food, souvenirs and wine. As well as goat food pellets. They have daily activities for kids and corn hole. The bar was closed these day but the more formal restaurants was open. It's a 20-25 walk to the beach after crossing the busy freeway- be careful. Very secluded and quiet there also. Closest thing is the Lighthouse 3 miles away. All and all a great organization just a tad on the boring side if you want more action but very peaceful and relaxing.

    One of our favorite coastal places to camp. It's so cozy and relaxing. The groundskeepers and staff are nice. The store is really cute. The cafe has delicious food. The main restaurant was being finished this time around, but when we ate there before, we loved it. You can see gorgeous sunsets when it is not overcast. Good hiking and walking around the grounds, Close to many beaches. The only downfall in this area is limited areas for dogs on the beach.

    This place exceeded my expectations! The campground was amazing, with so many activities and a great pull-in spot for our trailer. The grounds were wonderful, and it's so close to the beach. What really stood out to me was the restaurant. Most of all, every single person working there was so kind and fun. We had some of the best service we've ever experienced at the restaurant, and our server was absolute top-notch! I really wanted to shout him out--I feel so bad that I can't remember his name--because he truly made the experience. Thank you to the entire staff. What a wonderful place! We will definitely be back.

    I have heard about this place forever from a friend who raved about it. The website photos, which feature the bath house, are lovely and feature a big cozy fireplace. The reality is that our cabin was not inexpensive - $240 - and was dirty. I spilled a tiny bit of soup on the floor and when I wiped it up, the paper towel was filthy. The shower had dirty footprints on the floor and a dusty old spider web hanging down. Paint in the tiny bathroom was chipped. The bed appeared clean but the robes were suss and the extra blanket was beat. After looking at the floor, i was worried about the cleanliness of the dishes. The bathhouse was tired, no fire was lit. No sauna. The restaurant and spa were closed. It was a little cheerless. The in room coffee was good and plentiful and there was half and half. Our morning walk to the beach was wonderful.

    We have been coming to this RV resort for Years ! I can't believe this is my 1st review . Very large resort ! Great activities for the kiddos in the summer ! Amazing views and right off Highway one . Also, we gotta say all the staff here are ALWAYS friendly,welcoming,and knowledgeable! That is so important! Great Restaurant and Bar . And in the summer a Bar Cart cruises around the park ! So, many wonderful trips here. This is our destination on the Coast . :)

    The land all around is so beautiful!

    We went as a group of women on retreat. We had lots of fun, but.......everything was difficult in terms of communication. It was not easy to coordiate, and we were miss-informed about a lot of things. The staff at the venue did not seem to have a sense of urgancy about much of anything....even getting new towels was a hassle. I called Logan, the manager, a week ago but still have not had a call back. It really felt like once they received our payment, they didn't care much about our stay. There was even crazy loud dominatrix sex happening at night in the cypress bungalows... like, NOT the kind of thing that you would expect to hear at a "family campground". The staff didn't seem to care. Our family has visited Coastanoa many times over the last 25 years and we have always loved it and felt like we were treated very well. It was always such a treat to go. So this visit was a big surprise and unexpected disappointment. It's extremely expensive (it used to be more affordable) for what you get. I have a feeling they are trying to target large companies who can pay more than regular individuals. It didn't used to be like that....it's sad.

    Celebrating the 4th!

    Glamping at Costanoa was everything we needed! This place is super clean, comfy, and GORGEOUS! Set along the coast and the mountains. Coming from San Francisco, Pescadero was the perfect distance for us This family retreat had it all. A fantastic restaurant, a general store, and a fun pine tent bar/restaurant that had great music and fresh made pizza. Costanoa wanted to make fire that the grown ups had as much fun as the kids But the nature walks, and all of the beautiful birds was zen. It was peaceful. We decided to go for the 4th of July and the activities Costanoa planned for their guest was awesome! They had a parade where all the guest and dogs dressed and walked, Bingo, and music. Fun! Fun! Fun! 5 stars to the staff and care they gave to all of us guest and the to the establishment. We stayed in the tent bungalow with the amazing heated blankets. They had WI-FI! Thank you Costanoa for a great memorable stay Our next visit we must stay at the lodge! It looks amazing!

    Thank you Costanoa for making our 4 year anniversary trip so special! Everything was perfect. Clean cabins, nice campsites, stunning views, great hike nearby, and right across the street from the beach! What more could you need? They even provided us with a complimentary bottle of wine when they found out it was our anniversary. The best surprise ever!

    This is probably my fifth time dining here in the last three months. Every time was great except for yesterday the waiter, a young male, kinda long hair, kept forgetting what we ordered. I ordered a Arnold Palmer. He did bring that out, after I drink my beverage, ,he asked me if I wanted a refill. I said yes, so he brought me a lemonade and he brought an iced tea to another guest and when I explained to him, I had ordered the Arnold Palmer. He giggled and said well you can mix it up and make your own. We requested bread usually they do have bread Service. It took him after. I reminded him two times halfway through our dinner to bring it out. I ordered the half chicken and that was actually delicious. We also ordered crabcakes. They're very expensive and I do not recommend the crabcakes cheeseburgers were excellent and then at the end he got the bill mixed up and it just seemed like he got attitude because I told him to fix it. He came back dropped off my bill and I could not believe what happened next. If you read all my reviews, I try to give everybody good reviews because I understand it is a business and people make their livelihood through a business and some days people are off, so I try not to give a bad review but in this case at the end of the meal, he did say thank you when he gave me bill, then he turned around and there was a very bad odor like if he gassed and left because he was upset at us during the dinner he kept giggling and saying my bad it seemed like if he was on something and I did ask him are you OK sir but I will tell you right now. I will not come back here and eat. Pescadero in such a beautiful town and the state part up there is wonderful and I really enjoyed the layout of this restaurant but after last night, I'm sorry I do not recommend this place. The owners need to talk to their staff or people will be upset. Good luck.

    Beach closeby all to ourselves!

    See all

We made these plans 6 months in advance and had no where else to go! Had to come up with a reservation immediately! The only nice thing I could say about the park is it is clean but very very tight! With many years of traveling and the hundreds of parks I have stayed in this was the worst experience we have ever had!! We were in the area for a family celebration and now we are having to park many miles out of our way and drive lots of extra miles everyday! Only wish there were other options in the area!

I like to rough it a bit more in a tent with a more natural setting. This place gets packed on weekends and I found the spacing to be too dense. Like neighbors all around 360 and just within feet of each other. But ya know what this is a gripe from a tent camper who chooses places based on spacing and density. Also every RV camper is used to this style of camping. They prefer convenience over solitude, to each their own. I will say that for as packed as this place gets, the campers are all good natured and considerate. No loud after hours noise/partying, no blaring of music and I didn't even hear any buzzes from a generator. Kids playing all over the place, which I love to see. The park offers great services like they'll deliver firewood or a fire pit to any site. They have a general store up front and the grounds are immaculate. There are bathrooms with showers if one didn't want to use the RV version. And the clincher for me on why I would recommend this campsite to anyone interested are the aesthetics. Their name truly is accurate...they are dead smack in the middle of a redwood forest. Even the dozens of monster RVs that are there are all in the shadows of a majestic redwood forest. There's even a nice creek that flows through the resort where people can wade, play and relax. Even though not my cup of tea, I can still acknowledge and appreciate what this place brings. And I'm glad it is there for others.

The San Lorenzo river is right there and just beautiful. Easy to walk down to the river. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. I love their little store- it has the right amount of miniature basics and there is also ice cream pints and the most delicious ice cream sandwiches. The other bonus is that you can burn a real wood fire at night! Will definitely keep coming back!
