Campground Reviews

Oct 18, 2023
We only stayed one night but it fit our needs. We liked that it was outside of town a little bit but still very convenient to get food and gas.

Management was friendly and helpful. Clean campground. Lovely trees and setting

When it says “free” Wi-Fi and then there is none?? Can’t send pictures, can’t stream. Office women was not friendly, said about Wi-Fi oh we have no control… what ? of course you do! Every other campground we get Wi-Fi in has control. Won’t be going back to that one….

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We do have free wifi. However, it is spotty here and all over the Kittitas Valley. Contrary to the opinion of some, managers and staff do not have control over the wifi and are not able to fix it on the spot. Wifi is braodcast over radio waves. Mountains and tall structures can obstruct the signal.

Stay was fine. We have stayed numerous times before and experience is consistent.

Excellent cabins. We stayed in what they called a basic cabin but it was so much more. Bedding, coffee machine, tv, bbq. Highly recommend! We will be back.

Very clean and accommodating! The camp hosts were very kind and friendly!!!

Cable tv not as advertised. First stayed at this park nearly fifty years ago and it would appear that not a significant upgrade has ever occurred. Consider it an OK parking spot.

We do not offer cable tv. We offer digital antenna.

Paid for an early check-in at 0930, when I arrived after 1000 someone was in my space and did not leave until 1100. KOA still charged me the early check-in fee. And the clerk was snotty about it. I get supply and demand but they are too expensive for what you get. You will have to travel a bit further but avoid this place.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Our check-in time is noon. We do offer early check-in for an additional fee for anyone who wants to check-in even an hour before noon and it is based on availability. We do not guarantee early check-ins at a specific time, especially if another guest is on site and has until 11am to check out.

Nice campground overall, but lacking in services. Micky-mouse cable set up that after spending 3-4 hours trying to get to work, asked office person and they said the owner was too cheep to get basic cable. over the air was non-existent. For a mobility limited person this sucks. Very dirty and muddy off of the rv pad.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We make it clear to all our guests that we do not offer cable TV. We have digital antenna instead which is at the mercy of the broadcasting airwaves. Our sites do not have rv pads. They are gravel sites. When in nature, it is expected there will be dirt which rain may turn into mud.

Our stay here (Oct 2023) was so pleasant we extended our stay & were loathe to leave! Very impressed with the way they positioned RVs in the sites. Utility sides together, back to back. No living spaces were next to others’ sewer hookups. Wish all RV parks did that. Yards were very spacious. Recently under new mgmt. Friendly mgr and staff are working tirelessly to improve the park. We’ll be ba

Nice park. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. Lots of things for the kids to do. Big rig accommodating.

Our site was nice by the river. The managers were not truthful about tv, we had none. They also closed the bathrooms close to us after one night without notice. We are older and it was not appreciated. Even the employees we spoke with are disgruntled and get constant complaints from the KOA guests. It just isn’t like it used to be and that’s sad. Paid too much for what we got.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Our staff always makes it a point to correct people who ask about our cable TV hook-up, and tell them we don't offer cable TV only digital antenna which is at the mercy of the broadcast airwaves. Closing one of our two bathhouses was a last minute directive to the managers at the end of busy season.

Great weekend. Thanks for having such a clean and beautiful park. We were visiting our daughter going to school there and will definitely be back
Oct 10, 2023
Other campers blocked me in. Difficult to come and go.
Oct 10, 2023
Very well maintained Campground, helpful & friendly staff. Enjoyed the walking trail that went along the river. Campground was close to town and other sites.
Oct 09, 2023
We have been coming here for 20 years.. Its always been a great place to camp. Prices are getting a bit steep. Almost 250 for just 2 nights when we used to pay half that.

This campground has always been one of my favorites. This time was no exception, the camp host were great and very helpful. I had reserved a Deluxe 50 AMP site with the patio and was offered a 50 AMP Buddy site which was not acceptable to me, so I asked for them to move me. They kept on until they got one that satisfied me which was a Patio site but only 30 AMP which was still okay.

Very nice campground. All the staff were very friendly.
Oct 07, 2023
It was a nice, quiet stay.areas very clearly marked. Right next to the river. Close to local services and groceries. Morning service was great, trash service and propane tank refill when needed. The only thing I will do different next time is grab a full hookup so I can catch better Wi-Fi for my work video calls. But I had reception in all corners of the property

Great location with some sites on the Yakima River. Close proximity to Ellensburg. Friendly and helpful hosts.
Oct 06, 2023
Staff worked hard to keep things clean, was friendly, provided good service, kept facilities up

Second stay. Great customer service. Large pull-through site which was private and peaceful. Cable TV didn’t work and over the air reception was poor.

Very pretty site, but could not receive TV and the Wifi was spotty. Spoke to staff and the TV issue has been a known problem for a few years. Staff was very nice and helpful.

Clean sites, friendly staff, lots of activities, playgrounds, dog parks. Cool Teepees! Quick, easy check in. The river was right behind our rv!

Muy recomendable, el personal es muy amable y servicial, todo esta muy limpio, es nuestra primera vez visitando este lugar y fue fantástico.

Why would you put water and sewer on one side of the site and power on the other side makes it very hard to hook everything up

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We do have a few sites where it was necessary to have the electric pole separated from the water and sewer. Since all 3 are hooked up with different lines, it's not very hard to hook each up separately.

This was our third stay at at your KOA , I would highly recommend the ellensburg KOA to anyone looking for a great place to camp, or just overnight like we did, the new managers are going above and beyond with customer service, we had a issue with our 50 amp service not working and John was very helpful getting us going, we will definitely stay again on our way through next year!!

I stayed in a cozy cabin. I arrived after hours and easily found my keys at check in. The cabin heat was on sit was warm and cozy! Cabin was really nice and well maintained . I checked out early by dropping keys in drop box. I told several family members how well is was maintained and sent them pics so they could see how cute the decorations were.

An adequate run of the mill place in a noisy, just off the freeway location. Fine for in transit, but definitely not a destination in itself.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are branded as a KOA Journey, which is meant to be easily accessible to travelers. If someone is looking for a destination park, then a KOA Holiday or Resort would be a better fit for them.

Very friendly and helpful. Even waived goodbye as we were leaving.

Stayed there several times and always enjoy.

We stayed twice - once on our way to Montana, and once on the way home. The park is clean and neat. The staff is friendly and helpful. Location right on the Yakima River is nice. We had a huge cottonwood tree in our site the second night. It was beautiful! Traffic noise is an unavoidable price to pay for easy freeway access, but didn't deter from our enjoyment.

Friendly staff, wonderful greeting, Great big clean bathrooms and showers, wifi terrible .Great location to shopping,

Great large site with lots of amenities. Convenient location at the crossroads of 2 highways but still remote.

Very friendly, courteous staff. Very clean bathrooms & showers, however shower stalls are very small. Can barely turn around in shower without touching sides & curtains. Showers & bathrooms are quite a long distance from camping area. All in all, experience was great, quiet & peaceful.

Lots of road noise from I90

Camp site access to hookups was very inconvenient and grass at site non existent due to lack of water. Campground is next to a river, so there is no shortage of water. Campsite charge was considered excessive considering the above factors.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Our hookups are conveniently located near the front or rear of each site. Our location is in a dry, desert climate region so despite being along a river, rain is required to water the sites that are consistently booked. Our common lawn area is well watered and well maintained.

I showed up after hours , my envelope was ready but Someone else was in my spot. I tried to call the after hours number 3 x and no one answered and there was not a message. So I ended up just taking another spot, hoping it wasn’t going to be someone else’s. The person in my spot was gone in the morning . I was going to get a picture.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We have an after hours registration box where we leave information on available sites should someone come in after hours without a reservation and want a site for the night. Unfortunately, there are times when people don't check what sites are available and inconsiderately pull into any empty site.
Sep 26, 2023
We enjoyed our stay at the Ellensburg KOA. Beautiful location on the Yakima River. The staff was very friendly, and helpful. The only downside was the proximity to the highway.
Sep 26, 2023
The staff was fun and always asking if we need anything.this was my first time at a koa and I would stay again very comfortable. Very easy to park and very clean.thank you

Terrible. I would avoid this fee grabbing campground: "Minimum 3 night stay--non refundable" Supposedly due to demand, but when we arrived there were less than 5 campers on site. Noisy beyond description, and way overpriced for a "Journey" ; we refused to check in, are trying to get our money back, and went on to stay at a KOA Resort with quiet setting, indoor pool, and plenty for the kids for LESS than this overpriced nightmare. Beware!
