This place is absolutely filthy! Not sure when or if the shower, sinks, toilets have ever been cleaned, garbage overflowing. Laundry room stinks and is overflowing with dirty laundry piled up in corner. Site was nasty, filthy, dirty dirt with remnants of previous use. Not gravel as described and definitely not groomed. Can't believe this is a KOA! There's no way the review rating is real! Total rip off!! Soo disappointed!!!

I haven’t tried the rooms but used the RV space. The campsite is clean enough and the camp hosts are very helpful and thoughtful. They put on different entertainment events for the kids (like rock painting and an ice cream social) and the adults alike. There’s plenty of shade but also plenty of mosquitos.

We went here while they were doing some renovations, but it did not detract at all! We brought a camper and were easily able to locate and park. The staff were amazing and so helpful checking us in too. The campsite is well shaded and has lots of amenities. They had a camp store, pub, a pool( which we got a lot of use out of), a ghost town themed playground with swings, camp kitchen(with a microwave), games(like horseshoe and giant tetris) plus a sluice. We bought two giant bags of rocks and had so much fun. They also have planned activities during the weekend like icecream social, pancake breakfast, popcorn, and rock painting. The only downside is mosquitos so be sure to bring bug spray and citronella.

The campground was very adequate and camping lots spacious. Women’s bathrooms and showers were closed for repair and plumber turned off water the next morning. The staff was as helpful as could be and I sure the rating would be 5 stars after start up and the season gets rolling.

We were traveling over the winter in our truck camper and required water and laundry so of course we found a KOA on our route. We arrived at 3 in the afternoon and we were a bit concerned to see the office closed, but a manager promptly arrived to get us settled into a site. We were informed they were going through some major renovations leaving the park at minimal maintainance. The facilities needed some care and upon informing them they quickly took care of it. That evening while doing laundry we returned to find staff had kindly restarted our dryers because the clothing hadn't quite gotten dried. The park was not in perfect order, but the care the staff took to make us comfortable went above and beyond. We hope to return someday to see the amazing changes to their facilities. Personal touches like this make for great experience. Thank you for our lovely stay.
