Nice place. Bounce pillow for kids, inflatables in pond, small water slide, activities for kids. Dog park, movie screen, putt putt, bike/cart rentals, ice cream, pizza (some seasonal). Lots of fish to be caught. Full hookups available, clean bathrooms. Owner Jimmy is really nice, as is Ed. Friendly place. One car per site, extra parking for fee.

Very friendly koa with many activities. Sites are close together but they at least make people use the overflow parking so you can still pass through the campground. Only down side is that there is one pump out and it blocks the incoming gate. And then to leave you need to back up to get through the out gate. Then need to move the gate back to the stop sign or invest in a better pump out.

Avoid this KOA at all costs – bed bugs and dishonest management. Our stay at the Emmett KOA was a nightmare. The cabin we rented was infested with bed bugs. When we brought it up, the owner flat-out lied and told us they hadn’t had bed bugs in “over 13 years.” That was absolutely false. There are multiple reviews on here already citing bed bug issues, and staff members themselves admitted to us that it has been an ongoing problem. Even the pest control company they claimed to use confirmed they’ve been battling bed bugs here. Instead of taking responsibility, management hid behind their ridiculous 14-day cancellation policy and refused to refund our second night (which we didn’t stay for obvious reasons). Their “solution” was insulting: a 20% discount for a future stay (as if anyone would want to come back!) and a handful of quarters so we could attempt to kill the bugs in our belongings using their dryer. The dishonesty from Toni and her father is appalling. Any business that knowingly lies to its customers about a health and cleanliness issue this serious has no integrity. Bed bugs are not a minor inconvenience – they spread, they infest, and they follow you home. We left disgusted and disappointed, and I strongly recommend avoiding this campground if you value your health, honesty, or basic respect as a paying customer.

Stayed at the rustic tent sites R4 and R5. No water or electric. Easy to work with if you bring solar panels to charge phones and bottled water to drink/clean. Spacious, shaded sites with trees for hammocks. The water/electric sites right on the lake were very small. Everyone who visited us said we had the best area in the campground. The lake was so warm and comfy. Sand bottom with an occasional weed. Really cool inflatables throughout for kids and adults to play on. Catch and release fishing. Caught a big bass! Store is well stocked with things you may need. Employees escort you to the site, drop off ice and firewood, and pick up trash. All you have to do text them. They had a full weekend of activities and even fireworks right on the beach. Loved our trip so much and look forward to coming back!

We have been staying at this KOA for 3 years now. We are always pleased with the cabins. The campground is a good size when you have children or you just want everything in easy walking distance. Large enough to go for walks but not huge. The grounds are well maintained and there is just the right amount of things to do. The lake is always fun. The service in the office is always great! They even prepared a surprise gift from my husband to me for when I arrived, thanks Katie! Went above and beyond.
