Very nice KOA. We like KOAs for night stops while traveling, often close to the highway and with pull through doors for easy in and out and consistent standards... 1/4/2020

Great views and not noisy considering the convenience to the interstate. The level pull-through site made our overnight setup quick and easy. Will stay again next time we travel through. 12/2/2019
