Campground Reviews

Sep 26, 2022
We had issues with power/lights in our cabin during our stay. I also was not impressed with the upkeep of the campground, plants were dead, bathrooms were not as clean as they've been in the past. My main complaint was the continous smoking/smoke smell in the bathrooms. The smell was horrible. We most likely will not be back.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We hope you were able to enjoy our Halloween festivities. Unfortuantly, we did experience power issues for a day. We had an electrician on site and discounted camper stays. Many of our flowers lost their bloom due to the temperature drop. Our staff does their best to keep up with our facilities.

Our stay at the Emmett KOA was outstanding. Receiving texts messages prior to our arrival & during our stay was appreciated & very helpful. We checked in with Katelyn & she was amazing. Katelyn was so pleasant, answered all of our questions & really went the extra mile making us feel welcomed. The activities ran smoothly & everyone in our group had a great time. We will definitely be back!!

we only had time to stay 2 days but it was enjoyable but we were way in back by a fence and it kinda worried me. since we were all alone and we werent close to other campers

When we first arrived we were told no pets in the cabin when we entered the cabin we do as we normally would and clean if from top to bottom moving the furniture sweeping underneath things that don't move and etc we found dog treats in there and it was filthy I suggest telling your "house keeping" to put away the phone and actually clean. And 10 dollars for new towels! Ridiculous.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback. We do not allow pets in our deluxe cabins. Our rustic cabins are pet friendly. Our staff does work hard to ensure cleanliness of our cabins, we appreciate this information to better check cleans. We are new to providing linens and working out these policies.

We had a great stay, until Sunday when we received a text from the owners stating that people leaving could use the pull through sites to dump there tanks. We had 2 people pull up on our camp side to dump there tanks and 1 on our off camp side, when they dumped there tanks it made the inside of ours smell really bad. I've talk to the Manger Tony and she didn't really seem to care.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are glad you enjoyed your stay. After talking with you earlier this week, we did remove the auto text immediately to avoid this situation from happening to another camper. We did appreciate your feedback as we try to find ways around the location of the dump station.

We like everything, but electrical pedestal did not work and the smoke from the fires by the road was more than annoying.

No complaints at all. Very clean, organized and friendly

Very well maintained and nicely manicured grounds. We had a issue with the power feed at our site, which promptly got fixed that day. Excellent customer service. Will be back for sure !!!

This is normally our favorite place to go. We booked our stay in January because it was chili cook-off weekend. When we arrived, we were told they did it the weekend before despite the calendar on the outside board. No updated in emails or social media posts to update us on the changes. Stay said corporate changes the calendar. I'm becoming concerned of the new ownership practices and changes.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are very sorry for this confusion. As we step into KOA corporation, we are learning their deals and dates and had a miscommunication on corporate deals. We did honor VKR 2 weekends for our campers. The calendar posted outdoors is 2023 calendar. We hope you will give us another try.

Cabin full of ants, including the bed. Mice destroyed all the food we placed in your cupboard. Lost about $75 in food. Love the campground and personnel, but the rodent and insect invasion was very disconcerting to all. The reason for a cabin, was to avoid such issues. Thank you.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We appreciate your feedback. We do our best to handle mice and ants. Unfortuantly, this is the time of year for rodents and insects looking for warmth and food. We do suggest to everyone to take precaution with their food as one would in a camper.

Been Emmett KOA many times & all experiences have been great except this last one. I booked what was called a "deluxe patio site". It was represented this way online during reservation & on the map that was given to us upon check in. Once we got to the site we saw there was no patio at all. Went up to the office & was told they know it is a mistake but couldn't do anything for us. UNBELIEVABLE!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are sorry to hear about your experience. We did ensure charges were accurate for the site selected and refund the select my site option. We did offer a full refund to leave within the hour of arrival. We hope you will give us a second opportunity to help you better enjoy our amenities.

Had a wonderful weekend at Emmett! Kids enjoyed all the activities and we love how close the playground is! Bummed that the glow in the dark dance party didn’t happen this year- but otherwise a great trip!

Awesome, pleasant, quiet, lots to do . Great stuff.

I was disappointed that my Tv didn’t work for 3 nights in my cabin..I inquired but nothing could be done.. other than that my visit was ok..

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are glad to hear you were able to enjoy majority of your stay. Unfortuantly, we are struggling to have someone come out and fix a cable line that was burnt through after a camper moved their fire ring. We hope you will come back and enjoy your next stay to the fullest.

We had a couple problems with lights going in and out in the water side cabins and one with no air conditioning

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback. We did report this to DTE and found there was an issue with their services. The issue has since been resolved by DTE. Hope to see you back soon.

Another great visit to Emmet KOA. We've been coming for years, and love love the staff, the lake, and the small size of the campground. Already planning to return in 2023 once sites open for booking.

The mattress was in need of replacement other than that it was great!

It was just wonderful! I celebrated my 70 th birthday on September 9 with you! My husband and I had never camped before, EVER! So many campers who surrounded us were all so helpful and so kind! I met Jim and Tony! Wonderful people. Everything was clean and groomed beautifully! We can't wait to come back! Had a blast ����� say thanks to Ed who helped us out so much!! What a great place to
Sep 12, 2022
Very nice family and kid friendly! Absolutely love that there is a pond with a activity slide and wall.
Sep 12, 2022
My fave KOA. Clean. Lots of friendly staff. Lots of activities for the kids!
Sep 12, 2022
Very friendly staff. The campground had a lot to do and appreciated the communication on the activity times and being able to grab pizza and ice cream.

Rules are only enforced for certain people. Children are allowed to cause excessive noise hours after their supposed to be at their sites. One night security guard can’t be everywhere and if you need help with unsupervised children with negligent parents that don’t care, you’re on your own. This is not the camping I remember or do. The parents let the kids run free till midnight or later!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your stay. We do have night security out throughout the night to ensure everyone meets the quiet hours. We do our best to ask all campers to respect our standard rules.

Always enjoyable time. Staff are very nice and helpful. Lots of fun activities. Only thing that needs improvement is the bathroom near the office needs a ramp at the entry and where the toilet stalls and showers are as it was difficult to get a wheelchair in.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback. We do have a family bathhouse that is equipped with wheel chair access supporting a ramp, large full bathroom and handicap chair in the shower.

I loved everything besides the obstacle course needed to be supervised there were bigger children pushing each other in the water so my children could not enjoy it they had to get off of it.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. We did try to have staff watch the water more this year but faced changes with hiring a full staff. Hope to see you back soon.

Great Staff!! Excellent in Campground.

This Koa is by far my favorite. The people are always happy and friendly. They keep the place very clean. The pond is great for swimming and fishing. There is so much to do there and the kids love it.
Sep 07, 2022
The good- fun activities for the kids! Trees were blocking access to my site without backing through the site across from me. I had a power problem at one point. Went and checked the pole, and I had low voltage on one leg out of the 50a plug. One side was 115v other was 100v. This is the first time I’ve experienced voltage drop at a campground. Was expecting better when paying KoA rates!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback. We are in the process of remeasuring campsites and clearing some trees to ensure slide outs and awnings have room for extension. Thank you for letting us know about your electrical issue we will have maintenance check on this campsite.

It’s really a great campground . Some of the sites are pretty tight but overall very nice and friendly staff and a great family place
Sep 06, 2022
Loved all the activities except the magic act was boring. Our group is so disappointed that you changed our ability to reserve. We lost our ability to be all together for our yearly gatherings. We were all loyal to your KOA but feel your not appreciating our years of loyal returns.

Never coming back. Not alone as many other sites said the same thing. I could provide examples, but they will be ignored. We are not alone in moving elsewhere.

This was my first time having a cabin ever and it exceeded my expectations. It was very clean and perfect for my daughter and I! We are hoping to plan more trips next summer!
Sep 06, 2022
On the first day we arrived on Friday , the bathrooms were clean . Then as the weekend progressed, less workers and poor bathroom conditions. cabin #2 noted two screws on the top bunk of our child's bed , the top bunk has no true railing to keep you due to the mattress being so thick, so we told him to roll towards the wall and we noted the rusted screws. great park store and water bounce area.

We had the most amazing stay. The Staff was Super friendly and very helpful. We loved all the activities for the little ones. The beach was so much fun Just few suggestions…. A nice kitchen and restroom in the rustic area would be nice We will be back for Halloween Great Job Emmett KOA 5 STARS
