This campsite is under new management and they are really improving a lot! My kid loves the amenities, the splashpad and swimming pond. We booked our next visit in advance!

The nicest KOA we’ve stayed at thus far. So much for the kids to do! They have numerous farm animals for you to see/pet including horses, goats, chickens. A very nice pool area, gem mining, multiple playgrounds, inflatable bounce pads, zip lines, walking trails, swimming pond. Not too far off the highway, but has that nice and quiet middle-of-nowhere camping feel. Staff was super nice and made us feel so welcomed. 10/10 recommend. We will DEFINITELY be back next year.

This is a great Campgrounds, many activities for all ages. Location is great, grounds well taken care of. Went here with my son, son in-law, 2 grandsons had an awesome time. My only issue the bathrooms were not cleaned (we arrived on a Tuesday), not cleaned at anytime we were there. Overall great campgrounds with lots of activities for all ages.

The area was easy to get to. The campsite was clean and the greeter was amazingly informative. Now, our neighbors had so many vehicles parked and so many golf carts rented out it was overwhelming. They ever came in our section to manuever. They were loud and they had exterior lights, which stayed on all night. What is up with that!? My partner went to use bathhouse #2, came out disgusted. The store personnel on the other hand were super friendly and helpful. Children, there were children for days! Next time we will definitely seek out a spot where there are less little ones and more friendly neighbors. At we can only hope!

Well its a nice campground to bring the kids, I promise they will have a great time. Our site had not been cleaned or prepared prior to our arrival. The chairs and table were spread out, the fireplace hand not been cleaned and there was trash on the site. The person who escorted us to the site just drove through, never showed us any of our hookups or ask if we needed firewood. I have to say the staff I encountered were focused on other things, not friendly wave, hello really no acknowledgement of us at all. I will say again it is definitely the place to bring the kids. When im paying premium prices to stay 5 days I expect service to an equal standard.

Very well kept, clean bathrooms. Almost every site has a concrete pad, level sites, very long pull thrus! The kids loved the playground, mini zipline and petting zoo. Not too busy and great scenery with a country backdrop.

Stayed at the boathouse cabin and was looking forward to a nice getaway, however; we were extremely disappointed with our experience. We did not even stay in the cabin overnight it was so filthy . We drove home to sleep. There was dust balls mixed with hair and dead bugs. This was all around the bed and behind tables in living room.There was old cheese in one of the bunk beds and coated dried urine on the toilet. The shower had grass and dead bugs, clearly not cleaned. The outside was covered in cobwebs and dirty tables and chairs which overlooked at pond full of scum. The health department was there during our stay and had to shut the pool down. The only thing nice was the fire pit and concrete area around it… The staff constantly drive by in their golf carts at least 20 times in one hour. More effort should be applied to cleaning. We paid almost $200 a night for this. Extremely disappointed and will not recommend or come back to stay.

This KOA park is wonderful. Highly recommend this park to anyone that wants to enjoy their vacation. It has everything... swimming pond, a nice pool, bouncing pads on water and land, fishing, basketball, zip line in one of the several kids playgrounds, farm area with animals, paddle boats and so much more. Everyone at the park was very friendly and the bathrooms were clean. You can walk your animal all over.And they even have a dog park. Will definitely return when we are in this Columbus Ohio Zoo/aquarium area.

I have camped here for several years and I loved it. but this last week a cab and I've stayed in fire. had a bed that was broken. the mattress was falling onto the floor as the roda the mattress rested on. we're broken and the upper bunk bed was so shaky. I was afraid for my kid's safety. the one bathroom had no hot water. the whole stay and the shower is not one of them drained. the bathrooms were dirty. this place used to be amazing and was nothing like the last several years. I've stayed there. they have a text line for service. never once did I get a response. The filter on the air conditioner was clogged and filthy. I paid a lot of money for a week's stay and ended up leaving early. I tried to email the company regarding this and have received no response.
