We stayed here for fall break and enjoyed every moment. The campground is very well maintained, quiet, and the sites located on the river are perfect. My husband enjoyed wade fishing while I read a book. The staff does a wonderful job keeping the campground clean and clutter free. I would say the best part was quietness and peacefulness of the entire area. Another plus is the 2 dog areas. There is a large running area especially if you need to exercise a high energy dog and a smaller area for little dogs. Lastly, Murphy has tasty delicious restaurants as well.

Stayed here from April till Mid October. Staff is exceptional and like family. Great location close to everything. The park is inviting,clean and goes above expectations for guests. Always friendly and courteous staff is a plus. A hidden gem. Worth the stay. Nice clean restrooms and new laundry facilities. My family and I will definitely be back.

Our weekend glamping trip at KOA was unforgettable! The staff—Dee, Lisa, Connie, and Bill—were incredibly kind and helpful. When our chihuahua Rosie locked herself in the car, Dee and Lisa saved the day with a hanger and heroic teamwork. The campground was spotless, showers immaculate, and the peaceful setting made us feel instantly connected to nature. Seeing a bald eagle soar over the river just 25 feet from our tent was breathtaking. We can’t wait to return!

We stayed in our fifth wheel here for three weeks in September. The staff were super helpful and kept the sites clean and tidy. Also the bathhouse and laundry room were clean and easily accessible. Our dogs loved the two dog parks and the river access for them to get their toes wet. Since it was right in the river you could go wading or fishing easily as well. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful people. The staff was amazing and so friendly and helpful. The campground is very clean. The manager is on sight and takes pride in her work. It is very safe there when you are traveling with family, very family oriented. We just really enjoyed our stay and are so grateful to the staff that made us feel like family. Everything is well kept. The store is very clean and nice. The staff is so helpful. We will always stay here every time we're up. That way just had an excellent time. It's conveniently close to everything. And with the family, friendly atmosphere, it makes it so worth it.
