Wind and coastal overcast are part of the package at Costanoa Coastal Lodge & Campground, a full-service resort property sitting along the San Mateo County coast near camping near Pescadero. The campground runs year-round and draws a mix of RV travelers, families, and lodge guests, with accommodations ranging from full-hookup pull-through and back-in sites to bungalows and cabins. Sites in the Eucalyptus loop are paved and level, though the loops are laid out with minimal vegetation between neighbors, so privacy is limited when the campground fills.
Cleanliness comes up repeatedly across reviews, and the bathhouses draw consistent praise. Each has one shower per gender, three toilets, and two sinks stocked with soap and paper towels. Lee D. describes them as "immaculate," though notes that waits are possible when the campground is at capacity. Cell coverage is a known weak point. Multiple reviewers report AT&T getting one bar or none at back-in sites, and the WiFi signal is unreliable away from the main lodge area. Plan accordingly if connectivity matters.
On-site amenities go well beyond a typical RV park. There is an on-site restaurant, a general store, a sauna, a playground, and community fire pits. Bike, golf cart, and dune buggy rentals are available. On weekends in season, the campground adds activities including nature talks and a bar cart. A short walk reaches the ocean, and the surrounding area has hiking and biking trails. Staff-led hikes to the coast have been noted by multiple visitors as a highlight.
Rates run $100 to $200 per night, and reservations are available. Note that as of early 2025, the property is no longer operating under the KOA brand, though the infrastructure and general setup remain the same. The campground tends to work best for families and RV travelers comfortable with a social, resort-style environment rather than a remote or low-density setting. Campers wanting a quieter, more dispersed experience might consider Butano State Park a few miles north.
