Angola / Hogback Lake KOA Holiday Reviews

Where to Start.  The kampground is gorgeous!   Yes lots of seasonal, but also nightly sites and cabins.  We stayed in a cabin.  Immediately reminded me of our home in Alaska.  Our cabin had a full size freezer and fridge, stove top,  and 2 basin sink along with dishes, towel and rag and dish soap.  The small sofa was pretty comfortable too.  Our patio area had a fire pit, patio table and chairs along with what appeared to be a propane grill (no propane bottles out, obviously for safety of kampers, staff, and the premises.  I am positive if i wanted to grill, the staff would have the propane available).  The beds were nice too.  I truly enjoyed the floor radiator heaters AND a ceiling fan, there was a "window unit" AC as well.  Had plenty of room to set up the pack n play for my infant.  Granted, it blocked off the far side of the bed, but it didn't bother me.  If anything, I felt it was specifically designed for that purpose.  TVs had remotes and they worked.  Everything was in proper working order and had absolutely zero issues.   The squeaky doors...is good if you're sleeping with a toddler who tries to be sneaky, built in toddler snitch system if you will.  Was the squeaky door a deal breaker...absolutely not!  In fact, I'd book that cabin again! Whomever in housekeeping that cleaned, prepared, and flipped it to get the cabin ready for us...you did an outstanding job!   The towels were clean and fresh.  And I thoroughly enjoy their trying to do their part for the environment.  I will reuse a towel, as you're literally drying yourself off after a shower or bath.  And if the front desk was closed, I could always wash/dry them myself.  Maybe I'm just a little self sufficient with a few brain cells that give off a spark. The staff, especially the front desk lead.  She's amazing!   Super friendly, positive, and eager to help.   She made sure everything was ready to go and ensured that we knew contact information should we need it after hours.   Had no reason to talk to the GM this time, but I did see him making his rounds through the kampground this morning well before 0900.  That requires a great work ethic, dedication to the premises/kampers/and staff.  Leading by example, being visible to everyone. I didn't need maintenance for anything, as everything was already in prime working order; however, I'm sure if I needed them, they would have been on it! I know the amount of hard work and long hours that goes into running a campground, handling employees, campers, ensuring activities, and much more.  It's exhausting and I wish more people would act more human towards the HUMANS running this kampground.  They have to prioritize things and sometimes, waiting 5 minutes for the pool to open is not the highest priority for say a water main leak (think, my friends!).  As a medic, if I had multiple patients...I did quick triage first....if you were breathing sufficiently on your own and not bleeding out and not trying to be a smurf,  I labeled you least priority and would come back around.  It's nothing personal, but it helps things move fast. I want to thank the staff for their hard work.  I may just have to look into a seasonal site and bring my own rig!!!!
