Me and my 3 cavalier Spaniels enjoyed our stay. Very dog friendly. We had a 2 room cabin no bathroom in our cabin but so easy to visit with my dogs a 2 minutes walk was fine.

Visited this KOA campground Labor Day weekend. It is a small campground, spacious spots, mature trees and nice quiet location in Visalia. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Swapping out a damaged picnic table for a nicer one and giving us a late check out time for a small additional fee. The pool was big even though we didn’t use it. The bathrooms and shower areas were a little out dated but clean and functional. I recommend this KOA campground if you are in Visalia or visiting Sequoia National Park.

After a long drive, settling into my site was so much easier because Louis, the maintenance person, helped with my hook ups. He must of overheard me tell the camp host what a long day it had been. Truckers on my tail. Honking. Pot holed Roads that bounced my Google mapping out of cup holder. Etc. He helped plug Electrical in. Helped attach hose, topping off my fresh water. And patiently directed me the showers. Twice After a HOT shower, the world was A-Okay again. KOA is the best for a lone traveler. Always feel safe camping solo

We had a great stay here. Our cabin was clean and comfortable, the bathrooms were kept clean, and our kids really enjoyed themselves. The staff was just incredible. Every interaction they were really kind, and helpful to any questions we had. Would definitely come back!

We stopped over on our long drive home. Easy to get into with an RV with decent sized spots. Walked by the pool and it looked nice, didn’t swim but lots of people were enjoying the pool. Nice off leash dog area. Great staff in the office. It was a quick stop but would stay here again. Saw a few cute cats running around.

We recently stayed at the Visalia/Sequoia KOA RV Park as our home base for visiting Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. The campground itself was clean and offered convenient amenities, including reliable access to shopping like Costco and other larger city comforts. Visalia is a pleasant town, small enough to explore in a day but big enough to have everything we needed. That said, there are a few things worth noting. The park is located in a heavily farmed area of the valley, which made it quite dusty during our stay. Water pressure was generally fine, but inconsistent at times. On our last morning, our hot water heater didn’t receive enough pressure to ignite, which delayed our showers. One of our main considerations when booking was proximity to the national parks, but we learned that the drive actually takes about an hour or more to reach either Sequoia or Kings Canyon. While this KOA worked well for city access, those planning multiple trips into the parks may want to explore options a bit closer to the entrances. All in all, a decent stay with the convenience of urban access, but next time we may consider something a little closer to the wilderness.
We Are The Observers
The location isn’t particularly scenic, but it’s conveniently close to downtown and Sequoia National Park. The staff is very attentive and welcoming, which made the stay more pleasant. Bathrooms are outdated but kept clean. One of the highlights is the spacious and well-maintained dog park—perfect if you're traveling with pets. The campground is quiet and feels safe, which is a big plus. However, be aware that there’s limited shade at most sites, so it can get quite sunny and hot during the day.

Dog park and grounds have a lot of foxtail grass which is dangerous for dogs. If you have a dog, I don't recommend stopping here. They told me that they are trying to eradicate it though. It just wasn't a good stop for us as we travel with our dog.

Just no. The place is not great. Highlights are the laundry room and husband says the store is good. Why no? It's not a nice place. The biggest problem. The weird topless older white dude wandering from one side of the park to the next. Why?? And why did we have to be so close to him. Felt like a dog peeing on a hydrant to let us know he owned the place. I think he lived there in his old RV. Just no.

I had a great experience at this KOA campsite! I needed a battery for my remote control to turn on the lights in my rv, and while the office didn’t have any for sale, the gentleman working there went above and beyond. He had a spare battery personally and gave it to me, completely saving the day. It’s the little things like this that make a stay memorable. Great service and a friendly atmosphere—highly recommend!

Prices are too high. Only 4 sites available when coming in after the office was closed. But there were at least 20 plus sites open? Need to have off season pricing. Maybe the park would have more visitors. Or maybe it's better to be empty!

Recently stayed one night on our way north. Don't let the "Sequoia National Park" in the name lead you to believe that there is any natural beauty to behold in the park or surroundings. You drive through a mix of agriculture and manufacturing to reach the camp. This is one of the dustier camps we've been to. Even driving 1MPH resulted in huge clouds of dust that completely covered our newly washed rig. Not the camp's fault- they do describe the sites as gravel. However, the cloud of dust was next level. There was also a strong "cow smell" (manure) that permeated the area. Again, not the camp's fault- but something to be aware of if you are planning on staying there longer than a night. We checked in after hours and were disappointed to find that we were right next to other rigs even though the camp was pretty empty. This is not some 100 acre property that would easier to service with everyone closer together, so not sure why camps do that. Finally- be sure to be aware of KOA's cancellation policy. We were planning on staying again the following week and changed our return route. Although we called 5 days ahead of time, there is no refund on the full night stay deposit we paid. Wish the woman who took the cancellation over the phone informed us of that as we might possibly have kept the original route to save the $70. The owner did call and was apologetic- but was ultimately unable to override KOA's policy.

Great little place! It's more in townish but the area Itself seems pretty safe. Camping section is clean and organized! The koa has decent amenities but if you're coming without kid's and don't mind being in town a little its a great place to stay😁
