For those who appreciate convenience though, we present Karen's Cafe. Enjoy a hot meal without ever leaving the Benton KOA.
Endless opportunities to relax and enjoy nature wait for you at the Benton KOA. Many people don't notice the huge fishing pond located across the street alongside dozens of unique plants and flowers.
