Although this is an older campground, we found it acceptable and convenient to many activities and towns. Spaces were large enough for our 37' motor home with slide and our vehicle. It was quiet and the pool and spa seemed clean. Cost for unsecured internet access was more than expected at $20 a week...more than we pay per month at home. Most of the "speed bumps" mentioned in one previous review were actually huge tree roots lifting up the blacktop roads. This is a major flaw at this campground, however, if they fixed the road, they would have to remove most of the lovely trees, hence remove much of the shade that is provided. The people we met there, workers and campers, were friendly and pleasant. We would stay here again. They do give a Good Sam Club discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Poorly run, too many questionable fulltimers, run down old KOA but its the only park in town. Keep going up to Pismo area or south to Buellton. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Santa Maria Pines is nice as a home base for a night or three. It’s convenient to town, the highway and lots of nearby activities. Not much to brag or complain about except maybe the huge speed bumps in the driveway. Go Kart track next door closed at a reasonable hour so noise was not a problem. Caretaker was friendly. A couple of the seasonal neighbors were not. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This place was GREAT! We have stayed at some horrible places in the past few months. Santa Maria Pines was a nice, well kept park. Next to the freeway, there was some traffic noise and some family fun park noise. Nothing offensive. Linda was very pleasant and friendly. Thank you! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Pleasant Park, nice if you have a particular reason to be near town. The pool and jacuzzi were NOT working when we visited. Quite a few permanent residences. WIFI access was excellent, and, fairly reasonable at $20 for the week. Boomers's arcade next door could be noisy if you have the wrong spot. Near wineries, on N. side of town though. Good SAM and AAA discount brought down cost by 10% We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice little park. Convenient location. Would come back again. Next door to a miniature golf course for the kids. Could be a little cheaper, that's why it's getting an 8. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Sounds like the person making the previous entry had a bad experience. We stayed there in May of 2003 in our 31 foot MH. Although the park is fairly old, we found it was fairly well maintained, the staff was pleasant and accommoding and the noise from the next door family fun center and highway were certainly tolerable. Our site was right adjacent to the fun center. We travel with a very large English Mastiff and were initially told they did not allow large breeds due to a bad past experience. The office clerk called the owner who came to the office and after assuring her our big doggy was mellow and well behaved, she relented and allowed us to stay without an extra charge. She was very pleasant about the whole thing. We will definitely stay there again when and if we are in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The Santa Maria Pines RV Park is located right next to the Camelot Family Fun Center. As such the noise levels are borderline abusive at times. The "park" is off Highway 101 at the Broadway Exit of highway 101 and often the noise of the highway is also heard at the park. Dogs are allowed, but a three-day limit and extra charge are applied and "they" make it very clear that "they" don't like dogs. We camped here in a Motorhome.
