Very helpful and accommodating to my needs. Friendly and even hung onto to my backpack after I checked out so I wouldn't have to carry it around for 6 hours while I was waiting for my train back home. Thanks!

We were here just one night as we were traveling home. We had tons of laundry to do so they moved us to a site right nearby the laundry room, which was greatly appreciated. The laundry room was clean and comfortable. The grounds were nice and well-kept. The staff was so very friendly!

Very clean, beautiful park with friendly and informative staff. I really liked the updates by text; useful reminders and store times are very helpful. Our electric pole wasn't working when we got settled in however, the staff immediately got us electric and we didn't have to move sites! Thank you we had a great time!

Even though the park wasn’t open for the season the owners were kind enough to let us stay for the evening. They went out of their way to meet us after 9:00 pm. The park was very clean and well maintained. Our site was level and spacious. The pet area was very spacious and clean as well. Thank you for your hospitality! We will be back if in the area again.

Stayed in the campground the last month of the season for work nearby. Can’t say enough good things about this places and the excellent experience given by the owners. My wife and I travel all year for my work and stay in many places and Oakdale KOA ranks among the top of our list. Everything was well maintained and the owners are extremely helpful with any needs or concerns you may have.

Overall, a lovely place to relax for a day. Hard to navigate upon late arrival. Needed clearer map or guidelines for where to enter our pullthrough site. Another camper finally woke up and guided us in. Very helpful.
