This property needs serious yard/lawn/grounds maintenance. Bushes are way overgrown. Our site was narrow. There is a dog park and a playground that both need attention. The views of the foothills are beautiful.

We were going to dry camp in the mountains nearby. But when the weather report called for snow in the low elevations we cancelled and came here for a few days. We've been to a number of KOA's, they're not always great. But this one was on the low end. When I pulled in there was a sign with an arrow saying to stay to the right for check-in parking. But there are no designated parking spaces. You just have to block the road. Went to the office, all the lights were off. Store has barely any merchandise. One cooler is unplugged and the other has just some soda and water in it. Several flags, including their American flag, are torn and tattered. Everywhere you look there are things that are broken that no one fixes. I paid for a premium site, what I got was a broken concrete picnic table pad and a mud-pit of a site. Hookups are all the way at the back so I parked as far back as I could to be able to hook up. There was trash in my site as well as some old metal plumbing pipes that look like they just got dumped there when they were replaced. Trash everywhere. In two days I never say any maintenance people, no one ever even walking the grounds checking on stuff, or inspecting sites when guests left. Restrooms have nice tile, but are dark and dingy, and dirty. Showers and toilets just labeled as out-of-order instead of being fixed. They use hook latches on the toilet and shower stall doors which is not ADA compliant, nor I believe is it to code. The sinks and soap dispensers are also not ADA compliant. The vent covers are dirty and rusty, and the vent fans never came on. The walls are worn, and parts of the ceiling are hanging down. My wife didn't feel comfortable because the shower in the women's didn't have a hook. In the men's room one shower has a handle that doesn't full turn off water so their solution was to add a PVC valve on the shower head to stop the water. I did use the shower and had good pressure and hot water, but it was still dirty. Went into the laundry room and my glasses immediately fogged up. Several machines were in use and one or more dryers do not vent to the outside. Filling the room with hot humid air. So, there has to be mold growing somewhere. There was trash everywhere. Pool is closed, sign says it is for the season. Nice newer playground. Dog park is ok. But maintenance everywhere is lacking. Things that are broken and never fixed. Wood rot on buildings. Painting doesn't get done. The back half of the property is fenced off and used to store about a hundred RV's under huge solar roofs. Another one of those places where they've given up. I won't be back.

This has been the single worst KOA I have experienced - ever! It is a mix of tiny homes, year round trailer park, homeless camp with a KOA sign. Piles of garbage between year round homes and property line. No security fence. Very aggressive dog on a cotton rope. Dog park has obvious differed maintenance, broken gate latch, over grown grass, excessive waste on the ground. Truly I will say, if this were my first stay at a KOA I would never visit another! My wife and I stay at KOAs because the grounds, facilities , and staff are top shelf. This location is the extreme exception. Avoid at all cost.

This is a KOA RV site. Very pleased with the pull-through site for our 30 foot TT. Room enough at the site to park our TV and a small car. The site has gravel so it's a little unlevel but easy enough to remedy. The Wi-Fi is great and has allowed us to stream our favorite TV apps. The price for a two week stay is agreeable, notably in August there aren't a lot of neighbors. The only complaint I have is the dead bush adjacent to our site that I keep scratching my leg on. Grrr. But that's probably more of a 'me' issue than a 'them' issue.

For what you pay fair amenities. There is a dog park. Swimming pool that is clean. Bathrooms are decent. Close to many shopping. Close to Oak Glen Apple farms. Looking at other reviews with lower ratings, perhaps they were tired and unable to enjoy what this place offers. Definitely stay here again with my 32 ft Class C and a GMC Acadia tow vehicle. Thank you.

We used to stay here about 10 years ago. It was clean and neat then. We recently came back to stay for 4 days. I was looking forward to it. It has changed dramatically. The place is now crowded and appears run down. There are weeds and dead grass. The grounds appear to be poorly kept. The bathroom has been remodeled and is nice. That's about it. The front desk lady was borderline rude. I dont know if that is her #culture# or her personality. She is from the UK. I doubt we will come here again..

Large park, convenient for overnight stay. Sites are not that long, our motorhome is only 35 feet long, we had to disconnect our tow vehicle on a pull through. Sites are not particularly wide nor level, either. I needed to fully extend two jacks, and even then did not get completely level front to back. We would stay again if passing through, but I would opt for something else if we wanted a longer stay.

•The location is sketchy, the only upside is the hills in the background. •The bathrooms are filthy, with hair/trash/clothing left on the ground. They were clearly not cleaned. Half the toilets in the men’s room were out of service. The bathrooms were also closed/locked before 9pm… Perhaps that was due to being located in the cuts. •Front desk woman with the UK accent was generally unpleasant •They don’t have fire pits, only grills raised fairly high off the ground so you can’t have a campfire. Though you can bring your own fire pit Definitely not a KOA worth staying at. It’s too bad this is the closest one to Los Angeles

It has a gorgeous view with lots of to do. Pool, dog park, club house and other fun stuff. It's clean with lots of friendly people.

Wanted to look at the place after the reviews but was treated terribly. Hadn’t even gotten out the car and was treated like trash. Front worker came out and watched us for 5 minutes then threatened to call the cops when we waited not even 2 minutes comes out and yells at us to leave, so we did. Do not recommend.

The lady working there that I dealt with was very pleasant. She was super accommodating and went above and beyond for me. 2 aggressive German shepherds were allowed to run free during my visit. They both began attacking my beagle in my campsite. I had to throw blocks at them to get away, and they just stood 10 feet away barking until I got us inside. I waited 5 minutes and tried to go back out again but was armed this time with a hammer, and they came back around. I grabbed my dog and went back in. I called all the koa numbers I could find for assistance and never received any before i left. I called animal control, but they weren't open. The dump station is locked, so if your hose doesn't reach the odd location of the ones on site, you're out of luck. I asked to use the dump station, and they were sending someone who never showed. Some of the families that live there aren't respectful of other's spaces. Kids were playing in the middle of MY campsite, looking inside of my RV. Very uncomfortable. Nothing is nearby, place rundown, aggressive unleashed animals, no dump facilities, inconsiderate families, nice staff.

Nice koa with really clean bathrooms/showers, full hookups, nice views of surrounding mountains. There is a pool but closed until it heats up. Laundry is really well priced. Power, cable, water and sewer are located at the back left of each campsite. There is a play ground, volleyball court, dog park and community center.

Just a quick stop along our travels. Very friendly front desk and the facilities were clean and up kept. The RV spots were a little on the small side. Our 37ft fit, but left very little room for the tow pig. The pup did enjoy the dog park. After traveling through NM & AZ the lush grass was refreshing.

Pretty good size KOA campground and just a little over a mile off of the freeway. Some of the sites are a little short so it’s tight getting a 35 foot fifth wheel and room to park your tow vehicle. Park is very well-maintained and staff is friendly. They even have smaller sites for either van or tent campers. What’s the pool or another and amenities for survey a good price to spend a week or so.

We Want to let the management know that we made last minute reservations to this park, Libby went out of her way to make sure that everything Went smoothly and we had a spot that would completely accommodate us as we triple tow and we were extremely long... she was great! She promptly returned our calls and made sure that everything went perfect. Because of her and the way we were treated we definitely will return as we pass through this area our thanks to Libby.
