This KOA is what you would expect from a great campground; amenities, activities, nice lots, etc. But the best part is the people that own and run this place, from the front desk gal to the people in charge. Due to a domestic disturbance next to us when we move in, I asked those running the campground if they could move me to another site. No questions ask, they moved me to a secluded double site at no additional charge; and then promptly took care of the disturbance. My wife was having major back surgery and needed rehabilitation afterwards. I had amazon medical supplies delivered to the front office, and while I was at the hospital, the camp hosts delivered them to my motorhome because by the time I got back at night the camp store would have been closed. They also went out of their way to extend my visit and even move me to a different open site so I could stay after their season ended. Give these folks your business, they truly deserve it and will provide you with kind and caring hospitality. We camped at Thompson / Grand River Valley KOA Holiday in a Motorhome. Unfortunately there are gravel roads in all directions leading to this KOA. You WILL get your rig dusty. Not in the campground but on the roads leading here. To stay on the gravel road the least distance, I highly recommend going to the center square(oval) in Thompson and taking the southern road into the KOA. Plenty of room and clearance for your big rig on the roads.

We spent one night at this KOA. It was very nice. We didn't use any facilities other than wifi and hookups. The grounds were clean. Roads were good. Sites were a good size and the ones in our area had nice shelters and outdoor furniture. I would recommend this place to others.

Gorgeous KOA far from a busy road which is rare. We didn’t get the opportunity to stay here. We are a member and asked to pay to dump but they don’t let you do that here x not sure why. Good source of extra income and nice feature for KOA members. We tried calling at least 5 times to ask ahead of driving there but they never answered the phone .

This was our first time here and we enjoyed it. There is a large fishing pond and a smaller swimming pond. There is a heated swimming pool as well. The staff is very friendly and the sites are nice. The only minor complaint was, being a holiday weekend, we would’ve like to have the grass cut at our sites. Overall I give it 4.5 stars.

This campground was fine. I’ll do cons first: the trailer in the first picture must house a bunch of dogs as they constantly barked. The next 4 pictures are our friends site, which was like this when we arrived- they didn’t mow prior to our week stay and it was a swamp with standing water. I’m assuming there is a tile line that dumps right at that spot. We saw at least 2 water spickets that leaked. The speed limit is five, but you wouldn’t want to go any faster than that anyways because the driveways have washouts every direction you go. We really didn’t believe they owned a weedwhacker/mower until the KOA inspectors showed up. Still only heard it for 5 minutes. Part broke in the pool, which is not completely their fault. Things do break just stinks that it happened when we were here. The clubhouse/pavilion has so much potential, but it’s just an empty shell with random toys on the floor and grass growing up all around it. Pro- The pond with the inflatables was fun for the kids. The large fishing pond was well-maintained. It served the purpose of being within an hour of Cleveland. This campground has so much potential!!! It was probably wonderful at one time! All and all I feel like it is a pricey campground for what it is. $730 for 6 nights.

This is a KOA and traveling in an RV. Lots to do here. Swimming in the pool or the little lake. Hiking trails available but didn't get to use. Lots of activities for kids/families. Big plus they have a free doggie wash station. Sites were a little close but my site has a large lawn.

This campground is highly recommended! We stayed 3 nights and loved it! Big sites, lots of sites with trees or sunny depending on your preference, great swimming lake and pool, and the staff was super friendly and helpful some of the best we've had at a campground.

We stayed overnight twice during a two week trip coming from Indiana and going to Maine, September 2024. We were greeted with a very friendly staff , cookies for us and our dogs, a plastic duck, and escorted to our site . They have nice big pull through shades sites with full hookups. Their store is well stocked from food to snacks and apparel. There is a pool and pond and lots of other things to keep kids busy if you have them . We enjoyed have the nice big well kept dog run . Their bathhouse has individual doors and is well kept. We saved this on our Google maps for return visits . Although we were puzzled on our return trip home we didn’t get a duck, cookies, or biscuits . Thank you for your hospitality and well kept campground

Im not much on writing reviews, but I must. I had a wonderful experience while spending 3 weeks at KOA THOMPSON, OHIO. From the first phone call to book the site till the day I left, I was treated very well. I felt Chris the manager genuinely cared that I would enjoy my stay and I did. I noticed him always working hard around the grounds, making sure it was kept up. He answered all my questions with honesty. I am very satisfied with my stay and will return next year. Keep up the great work, Chris. See you again.

How do you destroy a beautiful campground in 6 months ? Just ask KOA Corporate . past owners had a 4 year waiting list for permanent sites … at least 45 seasonal campers left . Keep raising rates and taking away amenities Brilliant !

We really enjoyed our stay here! Had a Deluxe Cabin for 2 nights and it had many amenities included which made our packing much easier. Amenities aren't listed clearly on website. (Bedding,Towels, dishcloths,cups, plates,bowls,silverware, microwave, small fridge, coffee maker, toaster,(nostove),propane grill(they furnish propane,) dish soap, garbage bags, toilet paper, etc. Great kids park with a huge bouncing pillow. Large dog park! Swimming pool, ponds, beautiful views and landscaping. If you're into Halloween this place fills up and most everyone decorates their places! I guess it is a big deal for all ages! (We stayed Sept. 29-Oct1)

We had a little trouble checking in due to some communication breakdowns with the staff. However, the manager was amazing in dealing with that. He was apologetic, and worked to rectify the situation as soon as he became aware of it. The gentleman who was responsible for our camping area was congenial and very informative. He gave us great recommendations for local dining and beaches. The cabin is very secluded and has mature trees all around, giving a lot of shade and a wonderful atmosphere. Additionally there is raised picnic shelter just for the cabin, so even if it is raining you can enjoy the outdoors. Like any cabin, you need to bring your own bedding, but there is electricity, an AC unit, and a fridge. There is a lot to do at the campground making it very family friendly. The pool is nice and a good way to spend a few hours. Access to the campground is via an unpaved gravel road, and it is very close to several of the wineries in the area. We are looking forward to going back again!
