With 46 sites positioned directly adjacent to Moss Landing's working marina, this KOA Express provides full hookups for RVs up to 50 feet on level concrete pads. The compact campground operates year-round with reservations available, though the tight spacing means "you had to go into the neighboring sites just to access your hook ups," as Ryan S. notes about his 40-foot rig.
All sites require backing in, with staff members often available to guide larger rigs through the turns. The marina location creates a distinctive atmosphere where whale watching boats launch from the adjacent parking lot throughout the day. Campers report quiet nights despite Highway 1 running nearby, though daytime brings marina activity and occasional motorcycle traffic. Each site includes a picnic table with grass strips between pads and maintained landscaping.
The beach sits directly across the street, accessible by a short walk over a bridge. Kayak rentals operate nearby for exploring Elkhorn Slough, where sea otters and diverse bird species congregate in the calm waters. Captain's Inn at Moss Landing offers another option just 0.2 miles south. Walking-distance restaurants include Phil's Fish Market, though expect long wait times during peak periods.
Staff provides complimentary bike locks and maintains clean shower facilities, laundry, and a small store. The campground's marina-adjacent location means limited space for dog walking, and sites run $69-79 per night. Cell service and WiFi generally work well, though some campers report occasional connectivity issues. For extended stays along the coast, Sunset State Beach Campground provides more spacious sites 6 miles north.
Book ahead for weekend stays, as the small size means quick fill-ups during whale watching season.
