We pulled into our site around midnight and found our site to be small and full of ruts from water run off with no barrier to stop us from going over the edge. The back of our camper hung over a 30foot drop. We started auto leveling and site was so soft and un level our jack slipped off blocks and bent. We asked at the office the next day to switch sites but were told none were available, even though the campground was not even close to full. Our next trip was a level paved site; same thing happened with the jack. We had our camper looked at and found the entire frame was bent, no doubt from the initial bending of the jack. We’re having insurance investigate our options so we will be advised on how to proceed with this. So disappointed that an unkept site caused this. Road noise was excessive. On a positive note, bathrooms were the cleanest and nicest I’ve ever been in.

We went in after a long day of traveling, nice park, polite people. My only problem was the Wi-Fi was unsecured and would not connect to the Internet on any of my devices. After a long day of travel, you would like to sit down, relax and catch up on things on TV. Unfortunately, this didn’t happen because the Wi-Fi is unsecured. This is the only KOA we have ever been in. That has Wi-Fi set up like this. I think this needs to be looked at!

Great for a one night stay, I 65 is very loud. Great dealing with the women who worked there. Went to do laundry and 2 out of 4 washers and 1 out of 2 dryers not working. Waited for a man to start his laundry and time it out mine would be ready to go in the dryer when he was done. The man came back and told me that it takes at least 1.5 hrs to dry. My laundry was out of the washer waiting on him. He put another 30 mins on the dryer. Went into the office and asked for the closest laundromat and the yound man states it was on the backside. I told him he had only 1 barely working dryer and ive got wet clothes that needed dried. He asked me what he should do about it and told him maybe fix your equipment or put up notices that your dryer will take 1.5hr to dry. Didn't ask to compensate me in any way and had to go to one of the nasties laundromat I've been too.

My family had a great time. My kids loved the jumping pillow and the fishing pond. But the view from the covered wagons and the bunkhouse are spectacular. We loved sitting by the fire pit watching the sun go down. The bathrooms were so nice. I'm glad we were on the back side, the front side had a lot of freeway sounds

The campsites were nice sized with RV hookups accessible. Our site was at the farthest end of the park without restrooms nearby. They offer a golf cart to rent for $50.00 per day, which was a life saver for us. The pool was nice and the park offered lots of activities for the kids. The restrooms were private, nice, and clean. The site also didn't have much shade which made it hot during the day.
