The couple who run this are amazing... they truly care about this place and their guests. Deluxe cabin was absolutely great. Has a lot of nice touches & everything you need & very well thought out. Very comfortable and modern. We recommend this place very highly. It is also very quiet and peaceful & in the evenings there is some traffic on the main road but it doesn't bother too much. It is very relaxing & there's also two restaurants in town and a nice little grocery store.

Overall, kinda just OK. There are some mild amenities. It’s really not one of the greatest, and definitely far from the worst of the campgrounds I’ve stayed in. The location is good though, just what we need.

This must be an older KOA. The sights are gravel, which is OK, however ours was 5" out of level. Not a big deal, just a little work to get on blocks to level. The issues I had were, 1. The neighbors sewer access was right next to our table. The power pole and the water were very far apart so bring extensions to be able to hook everything up. We did like the laundry area. It was modern and very clean and the staff were friendly. We did not use any of the other amenities since we were there to go fishing.

Monte and Tracy are such wonderful people! My husband and I, and our frenchie, were there to enjoy Flaming Gorge. We have a 43' motorhome and Monte was so helpful by guiding us to our spot in his golf cart! We also left our sewer cap back at Glacier NP, and Monte let us borrow one, no additional charge! And Tracy was such a joy and helped us find a great spot to paddleboard at Sheep Creek Bay. Wonderful hosts and we would definitely stay again! - The Payne's, Texas

Great place to camp! It's close to several of the inlets to boat on Flaming Gorge. The campground has a nice kids playground, very clean bathroom and shower area, and lots of places to camp- whether you have a tent, an RV, or want to rent a cabin. Every site has electrical hookups and water access. They also have picnic tables, fire pits and grills. It's well taken care of!

Stayed two nights for Flaming Gorge and had a great stay here. The place was quite, the bathrooms were clean including showers. The office/store crew was great. The office pet dog was very friendly and happy to have a scratch. Was even dark enough to see the moons of Jupiter and Saturns rings with a 1000mm spotting scope. Enjoyed the area and Manila as a whole. If passing though, probably stay again if able.

We happened upon this KOA tucked in a great little town after making a few wrong turns in the Flaming Gorge with our truck and travel trailer. We were deciding whether to continue driving or stay for the night when the owner came out any talked to us. His great sense of humor and customer service helped us to decide it was the perfect place for the night. We were given great advice for where to go on a scenic run and where to drive to see some wildlife. We saw a moose!!! This campground and the surrounding beauty was perfect! Our girls enjoyed the playground and our scenic dusk drive through the Flaming Gorge, exceptional customer service and would HIGHLY recommend this KOA! It was a unexpected highlight of our 16 day trip!

We just stayed at this KOA and it was awesome. Although it was close to the main highway you couldn't hear much traffic through out the night and while we were inside the RV. Monty was really nice and very friendly. The park was close to the marina that traveling back and forth daily wasn't too much of a pain. Things for us was perfect and will be back there again for sure. Thanks again for making our vacation a wonderful trip, Happy camping to all.

Very clean, great playground, wonderful campsites, dog park, and lots of shade. The owners are amazing and do a great job maintaining the campground. The bathrooms and showers are so clean and I have no complaints. We stayed at the end of May in one of the basic cabin sites. It was chilly and raining on and off the weekend we stayed there. However, the weather didn’t impact our stay/trip too greatly. We stayed warm at night with a little space heater and, with the right timing, able to cook our meals over the campfire. It was so quiet, relaxing, and enjoyable. Again, the owners are quite amazing. When we arrived Traci gave us a map and a lot of great recommendations for things to do/places to go. The first morning of our stay, my fiancé went to get a cup of coffee before the office had opened. The owner knocked on our cabin door a short while later with a cup of coffee in hand for him. Great customer service! Will definitely be choosing to stay at this KOA the next time we visit Flaming Gorge.

Manila KOA was fantastic! We stayed in the basic cabin, not the deluxe. Our cabin had twin bunk beds with good clean mattresses, and a queen bed, a small desk with a lamp, a small bench, a ceiling fan and light, no AC/heater, a nice porch with a porch swing, a picnic table, and fire pit. It was just awesome. The cabin was immaculate and had no bugs or spiders, the shared bathrooms and showers are big and always clean and the water gets hot. There is a good playground in the middle of the campground. The pool was empty and not open for use, but I didn't mind because I have very young kids and the pool didn't seem very kid-friendly and had no shallow end. I think the pool starts at 4+ feet or something. More of an older kid and adult pool so I didn't mind it being closed. The managers are great. One saw me struggling with our suitcases and my kids and he grabbed his golf cart and drove my stuff to the cabin for me so I could handle the kids. They are so friendly and helpful and everything is very well maintained. I hope we come here every few years!
