Very nice campground. I was afraid it was going to be too close to the highway and then be noisy but it was very quiet. They had a great breakfast in the morning for only $8, highly recommend.

The hosts at the campground were very nice and helpful when needed. Nice clean campground. Doing lots to keep improving it. Hikes all around campground. I kept filling my fresh water take because my water pump has better pressure. The owner said he is going to fix the pressure. There is disc golf, playground for kids and in summer a pool. The laundry room has 4 washers and 3 dryers. I would surely stay again.

We've stayed here a couple of times. It's a very convenient location off of the 25 when traveling through. It's a little noisy next to the interstate, but the campground is clean. They have a little dog run for the pups, which is great. The bathrooms were very clean and nice. They also serve breakfast at a pretty reasonable price, if you make reservations. Also they've put in a small swimming pool that looks nice, but we visited in December so it was closed.

We stopped at this KOA for one night. GPS took us in no problem. First note though, the road leading to the KOA is terribly rough. We drove very slowly and it still was jarring. Entry to the campground is well marked and very open. The gentleman at the counter at check in was very friendly and efficient. Our site was clean and level. We travel with a 21 foot pickup and 35 foot fifth wheel. We had no problems negotiating ourselves into our site. The 50-amp power at the pole was “clean”. We did not use any other connections at the site. This campground was very quiet. Of note at this KOA is they offer for a fee, a hot breakfast in the morning. I think it was $7.99 a person but I don’t remember for sure. We did not partake as they don’t start serving until I think it was 7 or 8AM, but this is a nice touch for a KOA Journey! My only complaint and the only reason I did not give this KOA 5 stars is the signage for departure. We departed in the dark. There are signs for “Big Rig Exit” but they are very difficult to read in the dark with just headlights on. We got confused and basically got lost in the campground. In the dark. It took us awhile to figure it out but new exit signage would have made this KOA an outstanding place to stop for the night!

We stayed here a couple years ago in a tent site and had a great time. The staff were awesome and the home cooked hot breakfast was very good. It is a little run down looking, some paint and general maintenance would help.
