Very crowded at check-in. Spots tight for big rigs 6/14/2021

It is a great campground, well kept up, and with great amenities. The two lakes and the river running through it are wonderful. The staff was also extemely helpful 6/14/2021

I had a great time, the bath house was clean and overall the place was great. We were out beside people in a tent that are living there. They were loud and dirty. Other than that it was a great time and I will be back 6/14/2021

only one night, but very nice 6/14/2021

We loved the campground but it could use gravel in the spots. When it rains it’s really muddy. Bathroom we used at the bottom were great. Just needs some upkeep on the spots. 6/13/2021

Have been staying at this KOA for over 20 years. The campground is very nice and the staff has been great to work with. New owners now but I think they will be the same great hosts as the previous owners. Looking forward to many more visits to this KOA. 6/12/2021

Second time to visit and love it. Would be nice to have some updates to bathhouses, pool and 50 amps to more sites. 6/12/2021

The campground is beautiful and very well maintained. The staff is exceptional! The only reason we would not return is the sites are too small for our liking. During our 4 night stay, we could only enjoy our outdoor area once because neighbors were way too close... 6/12/2021

Campground had everything we wanted. We wish we were on the lake but liked our location fine. Thanks for helping us make memories. 6/12/2021

Clean, very well maintained. Lots to do at the campground and nearby. 6/12/2021

We Love this campground!!! But this stay there were so many spider web’s and eggs you could tell no one has sprayed or tried to remove them. There is no way that could been from over night. Pretty sure one was a black window. Was given a broom ... 6/12/2021
