My girlfriend and I are from Georgia and we are here for work. The staff of this campground are great and extremely friendly. The atmosphere is like a small town community even for those who are only staying for a short time. They don't make you feel like a number. Thanks for the awesome experience!!

This is a great place to stay for a day or a month. It is just off the interstate but I never heard it. They have some food, such as pizza and chicken wings, and various other convenience store items. Everything was clean, grass cut, pool was busy, plenty of clean showers. They were friendly and helpful, answered all questions with smile. And there are trees to get you out of the sun (if you want that). Great place.

Super friendly folks running this KOA. Magnificent experience. Laundry is clean. Showers and bathrooms are all very clean and spacious. Dogs are welcome. Nice dog park. Traveled to over 50 KOA's throughout the USA and this is one of my favorites.

We stopped Sunday afternoon in our gray camper van without a reservation. She gave us a great site. She was very professional,friendly and caring. I was pleasantly surprised just how nice this KOA is. Clean as a whistle, all mowed up. Plenty of showers and bathrooms. The long term vehicles are all in good shape. No eye sores. The store was adequately stocked. Plenty of room to walk. Two dog parks. And by late evening I think it was sold out. Close to the interstate but no road noise. This was a GREAT STOP. Can’t beat the prices here. We would definitely stop here again.

My sons and I stopped here traveling from Minnesota to Colorado. Very convenient location just off of I-80. We got in late, but there was a nice reservation and information sheet ready for us even though the office was closed. Bathrooms were clean with plenty of hot water. Nice quiet location.
