I'm not really sure why this KOA is called a holiday KOA. Except for the fact that Buckeye lake (see photo of lake below) is about 5 minutes drive away, there really is nothing else to do around this KOA and there isn't much to do in the KOA itself. They do have a few things for the kids, a seasonal pool, jump pad, small putt putt and a basketball hoop but it's nothing extraordinary. We do enjoy the October weekend trick or treat events. We look forward to passing out candy and seeing the coatumes. As for the appearance, it is a little disheartening when you pull into the KOA because you see some kind of rough looking campsites immediately on your right. It would be nice if the KOA made those people (I assume years rounders) clean up their areas. The trailers don't look bad, but there's just something kind of seedy about those first few on the right hand side. Not associated with the KOA but directly across the street is Dockside Donuts. If staying at this KOA or if you are in the area, you really should give them a try, they're amazing!

Very nice campground. Lots of activities for kids. Nice staff, clean bathrooms which is nice because they shut them down for 3 hours every day to clean them. However, the only complaint I have is the bathrooms near site 318. In today's world its a scary place and I feel the women's bathroom should not be facing the woods. Especially since there are no campers there currently. Its very eerie, I dont know if its fenced off.. you never know whos camping around and I watch and listen to too much true crime. But other than that, great place. Definitely will be back.

We’ve been guest here since second week of May!!! We love it!!! I’ve read other less than positive reviews and I need to comment. First off, this is a CAMPGROUND!!!!! You’re not at a hotel or motel. It’s about camping!! Bugs, dirt and mud really should be expected. The complaints about the bathrooms being messy, again there is NO maid service. The responsibility falls upon the guests who use them. Remember there are plenty of people that really don’t care how they leave the restrooms. The campground is rustic, the amenities are wonderful and the staff are phenomenal!!! If you want a great CAMPING experience this is the place. If you wanted pampered and perfect, my advice, go to a hotel!!!!

The staff was exceptionally good,friendly and helpful. That's where the stars comes from. There are some small local eateries in the area that were nice. There's a ditch with stagnant water that smells like a swamp.There were so many mosquitoes that no amount of repellent, citronella etc , could stop them. At around 5 am there is a foul smell around the whole camp as if the dump stations were not working properly. It smells like sewage. It goes away through the day. The pool is nice but small and gets too full too fast. Again, the staff was amazing and that's what made our stay pleasant. We will not return though.

Stayed here for the holiday weekend and cannot say enough good things. The campground was quiet at night, everyone respected quiet hours. We had tent site 21, and it was very spacious. Pool was also nice! The staff was so accommodating and friendly. We will certainly be back!
