All in all it was a very nice place. We only stayed here for one night. Lots of police sirens and a very nasty tenant were the only draw backs. The tenant in site 87 came over to me as we were packing up noticed that I had a dog in tow. She took it upon herself to not so politely tell me where the dog park was and that she didn’t want to find dog poop out here. 😳🙄 I was literally out side our camper for maybe two minutes before she came up to me. There was no “good morning” no “how are you” just nastiness from the get go, then turned her back on me and walked off. Maybe she had a rough night or morning, who knows, or maybe she’s just a nasty person. To the owners that own this particular KOA ……please get her In check as she might adversely affect your business. This is making me question if we ever want to go back to this place. Like I said, very nice place, clean and well kept up! Oh and the dog park!!!!! Yes, the dog park was very nice and very large and we used it 😁 cleaning up after ourselves of course. Nasty people will definitely destroy a business and I would not so politely remind this woman that you are there for your customers and an attitude such as hers to a paying customer is not acceptable!

This is a fairly new campground. The pull through sites were level and long enough for our 45ft motorhome towing. There is a huge dog park adjacent to the rv park. My only criticism is the sign telling you where to turn is much too small! GPS will have you turning into a soccer park. I'm not sure if there is room to turn around if you turn there. The way we came in the rv park is after the soccer park. There's a water park on the other side of the turn

I echo others reviews, hard to find. Like the overly large municipal dog park on site. Hated the side by side, ATV and truck traffic on a trail overlooking the park. One even came into the campground, at night. That said, park is clean and well kept with large, level sites. The location (other than the traffic mentioned) is great and close to everything there is to see here. We enjoyed our stay.

The campground is fairly new, clean and close to attractions, but the WiFi did not work the entire time we were there (3 days). I spoke to the desk clerk on our first morning about it and she just said “sorry”. It was the main reason we chose that particular campground, so it was really frustrating. Another thing I didn’t like, is that the shower rooms were totally unsecured and open to anyone 24 hours a day. No lock or code…they left the doors propped open at all times. And the shower stalls were just like bathroom stall doors. I did not use them. Lastly, we wanted to get a bag of ice and they didn’t have any. I realize we were there at the end of the season, but the store didn’t have anything.

Very clean with large paved pull through sites. One of the cleanest and we'll maintained KOA we have stayed at. Only negative is it is very difficult to find. Right in the center of town but also in the center of a municipal park. No signs in the park to direct you and Maps was all confused. Enjoyed our stay.
