Campground is in a convenient location off the freeway. This was a stop over site for us. We dont expect to much from KOA Journeys. It had what we needed a site and full hookup. It is a nice spot with alot of sites and amenities. Looks to have more long term people here.

Overall the park is nice and clean. Bathrooms are clean. Staff are nice. The issue is the primitive tent campsites. They do say it’s uphill, however, TWD cannot make it up the hill. The rocks are unstable making it hard to carry items up and down. If you are disabled or have bad hips/knees, it’s a fall waiting to happen. My abled body family almost fell several times. We all slept in our SUV at the bottom of the hill because I couldn’t make it up. I recommend booking the tent site with electric! Again, great KOA. I would stay here again but I would not book primitive camping like we normally do at all other KOAs!

Nice peaceful camping experience close to home , cabins were clean, and the AC worked amazing even at the hottest point in the summer. My children had a blast swimming, playing in the foam pit and fishing. Would recommend for a quiet peaceful stress free family get away.

This campground was a terrible experience. It’s really a long term trailer park. We were sandwiched between a camper with barking dogs that were locked in the camper for hours and another camper with tons of feral kids (I have small kids and even I was annoyed). They also had cats that were all over our campsite trying to get in to our camper. The pool hours are 10a-8p which weren’t posted anywhere but we asked. At 1030 the pool was locked up. We called and waited for them to unlock it. This is just a poorly run, unpleasant space to spend a night. Couldn’t wait to pack up.

This was my first KOA experience and it was EXCELLENT! fantastic amenities. Very clean and everything seemed very fresh and updated. Pool was great and super clean. Staff was very helpful and addressed our needs promptly and professionally. We rented 4 cabins for a family reunion weekend and we were all pleased with the experience. I was particularly impressed with the bathroom/shower house. Very clean and plenty of hot showers. We hope to all go again next year.

I just pulled in on site 67. Neighbors are quiet. Site is level. Good water pressure. Only had to use 5’ of hard pipe to plumb in my sewer. 25’ 50amp power was enough to reach the power. 25’ water hose is way more than enough hose to reach my camper. I only needed a 6-8’ hose. Plenty of room to park my truck. Good satellite reception for my tailgater. WiFi is working good as well.

Nice campground. We only stayed 1 night sites are spacious compared to some places we have stayed. Would stay again.

Good place to stay overnight. Sites were pretty level, all pull thru's. People were friendly, although since it's off season no one was in office until 2pm. Would stay there again.

Stayed for 4 nights and the place is ok. I’m surprised it’s a KOA because it’s run down and the bath house is horrible. Out of order showers and toilets. No toilet paper ever. Not clean at all. And the people running the place put up a sign threatening to shut the bathhouse down? Pigs is spelled with 1 g not two. Definitely won’t book again!!

Cabin was clean, but heater was VERY poor — shutting off soon after starting. This left the place quit cool, regardless of the thermostat setting. (The electric baseboard heaters would simply turn off after a few minutes.) The door had a sizable gap on the underside, easily big enough for a mouse, etc. The shower was joke with a heater that supplied warm water for just a minute or two ... then came only cold water. The hot water heater was positioned immediately above the shower and did not have a properly plumbed drain line for the relief valve, making it potentially dangerous. Much of the cabin's wiring was poorly stapled on the walls. It was fairly quiet, the check-in person very friendly, and the primary campground area clean. The highest rating here would be a "3". That's the very best I can do.
