First time ‘Kamping’ at the San Diego KOA
I’ve done all kinds of camping in my day, but I’d never been “kamping” in San Diego before. The San Diego KOA (Kampgrounds of America) is located in the southern part of the county in Chula Vista. The property is quite large, with over 300 sites for RVers and tent campers, along with 35 cabins (or as KOA spells it, “kabins”), including a handful of deluxe accommodations, which is where I stayed.
The deluxe cabin can sleep six comfortably with a private bathroom, full kitchen, loft and your own private BBQ and fire ring outside. If you stay in one of the traditional log cabins, be sure to bring your own linens…those accommodations are kind of in between a tent and a motel—best part is…you can spend the afternoon relaxing on a shady porch swing.
The public restrooms have hot showers and are quite clean with private stalls. There is a central Kamping Kitchen for camp-goers to share…it includes everything you can think of in a traditional kitchen, however you get to do it in the great outdoors of sunny San Diego.
There are a ton of fun things to do at the San Diego KOA…from the heated pool & spa, to a myriad of bike rentals, game-room, basketball court, ping pong, playground, to a rock climbing wall.
Of course, outside the campgrounds, San Diego has a lot to offer, from the famous San Diego Zoo to SeaWorld, Old Town, Balboa Park, Cabrillo National Park, Gaslamp Districts, to Seaport Village and a whole lot in between.

So glad you found your way to our favorite campground get away. The grounds are beautiful and the Bell family & staff are wonderful. Summers are filled with activities for the family and they’ve even made sure our dog has plenty to keep her active there. Our family has been enjoying this KOA for 13 yrs..
Hi Mary, thanks for stopping by and sharing. Cheers, Mike
Hi, my husband and I have been coming to San Diego KOA for 8 yrs. Our kids have so much fn. We meet alot of nice people. The owners are super nice. This campground is very, very clean. Over the years our group has grown to 6 families every Memorial Weekend. Love, Love this campground.
Hi Valerie, thanks for sharing your experiences. Cheers, Mike
I have been going to this KOA for many years since it’s in my backyard. now, sadly, the prices have shot up at least 20 bux a night from last year for the kabins so it’s out of my price range. I can stay in a hotel for 100 bux a night with a bathroom! the only way we will afford to go here is when they have their specials.
Hi Melanie…thanks for stopping by and posting your thoughts. All the best, Mike
The Bells do a fantastic job with their campgrounds. I feel like family here and highly recommend everyone give it a try.
Hi Dale…thanks for stopping by and posting a comment. Cheers, Mike
Hi Mike.
Nice video of the KOA! My husband’s family has been going there for 20 plus years every June. I have only been a handful of times and had fun every time we have been there. It’s a great place to go and there is always something for everyone to do!
Hi Cami, thanks so much for stopping by and posting a comment! Cheers, Mike
Hi, which one is better to stay in tent deluxe or camping cabin… This is will be my first time… Thank you
Hi Mornin! The camping cabin is just a shell…no bathroom, no linens, etc. I just assume stay in a tent for less money. The deluxe cabin has a kitchen, private bathroom, can sleep at least 6. Has a TV, all linens, etc. Hope that answers your question. Thanks for stopping by. Have fun! Be sure to stop by after your trip and let me know how you enjoyed it. Cheers!
Just saw the piece on San Diego KOA, Great! My wife and I think the KOA’s are perfect. Good job.
Hey George…thanks so much for the kudos and for stopping by. Cheers!
Because of your article and video we decided to check this place out. We just camped here last week with our 5th Wheel and it was very nice. Thanks for the info and suggestions.
Hey George, so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by and sharing.
