Cable and Marie are absolutely wonderful people, and they run a beautiful campground thats upgrading its wonderful grounds. The store is a gem, lots of cool things including a turtle that's almost as old as I am! Pool, dog parks and walk, bathroom and laundry, tetherball, game room, and fire pits. Quiet, good spots, and friendly people, definitely recommend stopping here on the way through.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Wonderful Stay at Meridian KOA We truly enjoyed our time at the Meridian KOA. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at ease. The campground is clean, peaceful, and beautifully kept, with plenty of space and shade to relax after a long day of travel. The staff were so kind and helpful, always making sure we had what we needed. The little touches around the grounds, like the planters and inviting seating areas, made it feel cozy and cared for. The pool area was bright and cheerful, perfect for winding down on a sunny afternoon. This KOA felt more like a community than just a stop along the road, and it left us with such a positive impression. We’re grateful for the hospitality and will happily stay here again the next time we’re passing through.

We stayed in this park in late March of this year. It is absolutely delightful with a great rustic and wooded setting. Our 3 star review is because we accidentally left our Dica leveler pads on the site when we left. Yes, it was our fault for sure however they did promise they would keep them for us until we could retrieve them. Sadly, they now cannot locate them now. 😔😔😔

Giving it 5 stars due to the site we had on the end and the corner. It does slope a bit so we had to use two legos on the one side which made our steps a bit high. However an overnight we were good. Lots of trees very woodsy feeling is you are going for that. Over all decent place and nice workers. No escort which isn’t a big deal but it was a little confusing going around with all the roads. But no biggie we did fine. It did rain so we didn’t get to enjoy the whole site but it would definitely be nice for a campfire. #rvnewadventures

An excellent campground. I lived here for nearly 10 months in my camper. During this time new management has completely renovated much of the site adding a really nice pool, revamping the game room, and generally improving the buildings. My four kids loved to run around the grounds and play at the playground. If you are looking for a great spot to pull in for the night, or kick back for a few days, this is worth the look.
