Rented a cabin for few nights in February. Not crowded and great location in town. Nice staff and tidy pull through spaces for RV and trailer that we had. Nice playground and pool we have used the last time we came through in warmer weather

Good water pressure. Wi-Fi slows down as check ins trickle in. Some sites were better than others, size and level wise. I’ve stayed at worse KOAs definitely. Definitely book a little in advance.

Thank goodness this is not the first KOA we have stayed at, otherwise we would never have tried KOA again. We have stayed at KOA’s in Albuquerque (our favorite), New Orleans, Mitchell, SD, Sandusky, Ohio, Alamosa, CO & several others and have loved our stays, the staff and their amenities. This one is getting a poor rating for the following: 1) We never received a confirmation for our reservation. 2) They don’t answer their phone past 4:00 pm. The following morning when they finally returned our phone call (at 10:00 am), the woman had no clue what was going on, and didn’t even think we had a reservation, even tho we had a campsite assigned.😳 3) There was loose trash at our site when we arrived. Found a Taco Bell cup, straws, and used napkins. 4) The lighting outside the women’s bathroom was poor. 5) The gravel lots were uneven. 6) Our dogs found multiple discarded meat bones near their bbq tent site. 7) Not in a great part of town, locals hanging out & smoking at the laundromat which was only one block away, and No Secured Entry. Definitely do not recommend this one. 👎🏻👎🏻

Cabin beds weren't great but weren't horrible. Cabin did have an AC unit. The pool was the best pool I've been in in a long time. The water was a great temp. A hot tub was available. Bathrooms were clean. Not a lot of items in the store. Overall good visit and would recommend.

As with most KOAs that I have stayed at, this was a very nice campground as well. Neat, organized, and with a friendly staff. Traveling on motorcycle, we opted to rent one of the cabins with a bathroom and kitchen in it. Everything worked as it should, and was in decent shape. I won't say it was perfect - it definitely showed its age, with fraying carpets, loose molding, and kitchen cabinets that just appeared old, generally speaking. But for a good comfortable place to stay, it definitely fit the bill. Towels were noted to have some hair strands almost "infused" in them, but overall I would recommend this KOA to anyone else looking for a good night's rest, especially if you have your own camper or tent. This was our first time staying in one of the cabins, and I would book it again. Cabin was quite large, larger than I expected, with plenty of room for gear and / or kids to play on the floor, etc.

We stayed here just passing through, it wasn't up to the standard we've experienced at other KOAs. There was no one in the office when we arrived due to a power cut so we self registered. When we went to collect our change from payment the next morning we were told we had to wait until 10am for someone else to give it to us which was confusing. The pool was closed but hot tub was open but it was dirty so we didn't use it. The bathrooms were ok and had hot water but the showers were rusty/dirty. The ground staff were as helpful as they could be during our stay but where was everyone else? Strange experience.

Staff is friendly and have helped us w any questions we've had so far. We are staying here long term ATM. Quiet and clean campground and can't wait to go swimming and do other campground things w other travel trailer enthusiasts and meet other ppl. Our first time living in a travel trailer so let's see how this goes!! We've met many great ppl here so far!!

The park itself was nice enough. The camp looked nice and clean. The bathrooms looked recently renovated and we're very clean and accessible. There were a few minor annoyances while here. Our greeting at the office was unlike any other KOA we've stayed at. We were told where our spot was, settled up our remaining balance and that was that. We drove to our site unguided which seemed to be almost outside of the park and our site was chained off with no access unless we went though another site two spots down. Our site was also directly next to a house where there were children riding ATVs and dirt bikes within 6 feet of our site for hours as well as a backhoe digging a ditch for the majority of the day. There was no change machine for the laundry room. My biggest complaint and reasoning for giving 2 stars is I did not feel safe at this location. It appears to be in a questionable part of town. Other guests were looking into our campervan and we were uncomfortable enough that we shut our rig completely at night and locked all doors. Given that fact and the location of our site seemingly being open and not a part of the camp I can't recommend staying here.
