Okay, it’s near the hiway. That’s what makes it convenient. After a long day we were guided into our site. The guide knew how far we needed to swing to get into our nice pull through. They pick up your trash if left at the end of your site, at the right times of course. Our site was a breeze to get into with our 44’ class A and tow. Office staff was friendly and they had a nice playground hiking area (short trail). I’d stay again when traveling the area.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Broken Banjo! The interstate noise did NOT bother us one bit! The bathrooms were THE CLEANEST campground bathroom I've ever been in! We had such a a great time. It's a very great campground, especially if you have children. So much stuff for them to do! A staff member even drove by our site on a golf cart and gave us extra firewood for our stay! Friendly staff, we can't wait to go back!

My sister and brother stayed in the cabins. They were cozy and cute. The one cabin had a very hard mattress and the other was perfect but the bed was too small (full size). The service was spot on, they picked up trash every morning and brought us firewood when needed. The grounds were clean, as was the pool. There was alot of expressway noise, but being in the back we could drowned that out with our laughter. Great place and very reasonably priced.

We didn't get a "room" we had our RV. My only complaint is the highway noise. They set us in spot 2 and I had trouble sleeping , my husband loved the highway noise. I know if we'd been in the back of the park it would have been 100% better. The atmosphere was nice and the park is small. We like that even though it seemed to be full there wasn't a ton of ppl. I would rebook if they could guarantee a spot in the back row but when you book it said the staff will pick your spot and you can't choose. The RV sight was really clean. It provided a fairly level gravel site and a concrete pad with a fire ring and table and chairs. The tree coverage was really nice and kept the sitting area fairly cool. The bathroom were maintained nicely. The office is open 9-5 and they will let you arrive later. They had playground with lots of little activities for kids and families along with a walking trail with benches as you go and picnic tables too for a spot to eat. The staff was super friendly and the shop has just about anything you'd need. Overall, the RV sites are very nice , the bathrooms are maintained and the staff was super friendly. We will stay again ( hopefully if I request a concrete spot we can distance ourselves from the highway noise )

This was a great little stop. Older, but nice. Great pool with a couple of water slides. Fun things for the kids. Nicely stocked camp store. Great location. Definitely would like to spend more time there next time when we're not just passing through.

This campground is a must. From the location to the staff everything was absolutely wonderful. The on-site activities and the new hunts brothers pizza are great for everyone. I highly recommend and plan to return soon. The staff truly make you feel like family. Location is perfect, right of the highway with all the stores you need within minutes away. You'll never want to leave once you get there.

One of my favorite KOA's. Love the creek and wooded area. Cabins are awesome. Friendly staff. Did not really notice the road noise. I'd definitely recommend and stay here again in the future.

Nice little campground. Everything was clean, had some nice amenities for kids, a dog run. Bath house was clean, staff was super friendly. Only reason I gave it only 4 stars is that there is a lot of road noise. It sits right next to the interstate and it's pretty loud at times. Even inside the RV I could hear it, we used a fan to block it out at night.

This was a great place to stop and take a break from our long drive to and from Florida. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Our spot was a little tight but we didn’t mind since we were only stopping for a rest. They have other sights that were much larger. And with patios.

Fun little campground! We stayed one night in the wagon tent. Very comfortable beds and pillows, very clean accommodations! Our kids loved staying the night here and playing on the playground the next morning. Only downfall is that it’s very close to the highway and there’s a lot of highway noise. But other than that, can’t say anything negative about our experience with the Manchester KOA.
