Amarillo KOA Journey Reviews

We've stayed at the Amarillo KOA several times over the years, and it appears to be under newer management because the improvements are noticeable. The bathrooms were much cleaner than we remembered, the picnic tables have been upgraded, and the mattresses in the cabins were significantly more comfortable. The store and check-in area were especially impressive, stocked with just about anything you could possibly forget on a trip. The swimming pool area was clean and inviting, and the roads throughout the campground were clearly marked and easy to navigate. One of our favorite additions was the food truck. After a long day of traveling, it was so convenient to have food available right on-site. We were very glad it was there and thought it was a great feature for campers and cabin guests alike. The cabins themselves haven't changed much, but they were clean and comfortable. The air conditioner in our cabin seemed like it might be nearing the end of its life, but it kept us cool enough during our stay. My only real disappointment was the $20 per night, per dog fee. Unfortunately, responsible pet owners often end up paying for the actions of less attentive pet owners. As someone who travels regularly with well-behaved dogs, that additional cost adds up quickly. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciate the many improvements that have been made. We will definitely return, although perhaps not as frequently because of the price increases. At the end of the day, cabin camping still means bringing your own bedding and using shared restroom facilities, so the overall value is something we'll continue to weigh. That said, the campground is cleaner, better maintained, and more welcoming than it was in the past.
