SANTA CRUZ, Calif., June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With the global glamping market projected to reach over $7 billion by 2033, the category's appeal is undeniable, and so is its pricing challenge. Kampgrounds of America is closing that gap by bringing the most affordable glamping experiences in California within reach.
With an extensive network across North America, KOA delivers the elevated stay families are searching for, at prices that make it possible. With a long history of serving families, it has earned its reputation for quality, reflected in consistently positive online reviews.
What Makes KOA a Top Choice for Affordable Glamping in Santa Cruz?
Families should not have to choose between a comfortable night's sleep and an affordable one. Each of its locations comes with laundry facilities, playgrounds, clean bathrooms with hot water and accredited stores for on-site convenience.
For example, at the KOA Holiday Campground, guests can access Glamping Cabins with a personal patio and deluxe cabin options. Each one puts a proper bed, a hot shower and a private fire experience within reach, without the resort price to match.
According to KOA, "There's plenty to do, with amenities and services to make your stay memorable. Plus, you'll enjoy the outdoor experience with upgraded RV Sites with KOA Patio® and Deluxe Cabins with full baths for camping in comfort." KOA Campgrounds across the network are built around that same standard.
