The park itself is nice, good admenities but the owner was nasty and a huge jerk! At 7:30 on Friday night we were told that we were being too loud. We had 6 families who spent about $1,200 there that weekend. We were also "watched" like hawks the rest of the stay like we had been targeted as a problem. Our group will NOT be choosing to stay here again!

10th consecutive year coming on the same weekend; Halloween dance/activities are super; the classic car show is always fun. The staff - in particular Rhonda - are always so helpful and friendly. We bring our son, who has developmental/mental disabilities to celebrate his birthday, and he always looks forward to going back to the Buckeye Lake KOA, just as we do!! See you in 2018!!

We stay here as often as we can. Our favorite KOA! Great owners and manager!

Our first night there was during the Halloween Harvest celebration. We were amazed how many kids, people and dogs there were. We were not happy having a "buddy" site next to a family that had 4 adults, 4 children and three dogs that were not kept on a short leash. We had a dog also and couldn't even take her out much because those dogs were aggressive and at our front door.. Next day was good.

Great weekend, especially the car show.

Oct 18, 2017

Nice facility with helpful friendly staff

Only stayed overnight, but enjoyed the stay. Had a toddler who really liked the play area. Looked like lot of kids were enjoying the Halloween festivities on Saturday. Would have like to stay for the car show on Sunday, but had hours on the road ahead with two small kids. Maybe next year!

Very pricey especially with the pool closed. A lot of bees around. Not sure what all the hype is about,campground was nice not exceptional for the price. The host and workers were OK not not rude but not exactly out-of-there-way friendly.

Oct 17, 2017

All the sites on our area had sewer hookup except ours. Disappointing

Oct 17, 2017

We had our 3 year old granddaughter with us for the Halloween weekend. She had a blast. I love all the activities you plan for the kids. She liked the trick or treating. But absolutely lived the DJ and dancing. She danced for 2 hours. Thanks for helping make special memories with her.

We have stayed here many times. We understand that you get what you pay for and understand this place is on the expensive side. But what is frustrating is that you have to pay additional for every small thing. We will be finding other places to spend our money and our time.

Oct 17, 2017

With this being only the second koa stay in recent history for us, I have to say that we were not satisfied with our stay. We did encounter some nice employees during our stay, but the overall feeling of the koa and it's surroundings was pretty disappointing. We didn't feel very welcome and apart of the whole camping experience. I would not recommend this koa to anyone.

Oct 17, 2017

We go here at least twice a year! Always have a Great Time!

Oct 16, 2017

It was a Halloween weekend. I understand their wanting it to be by the registration building. The worst part was the fact that they did not block off traffic. The trick or treating had been going on for about 10 minutes and there were 40-45 children in full costume and the employees lead a truck and camper right through the middle of all these kids! It was the dumbest thing ever! They could wait.

Oct 16, 2017

We went for one of this campground's Halloween weekends. this was the first campground that did not do traditional trick or treating. They had everyone line up along the road around their main pavilion. Many people were upset because part of the halloween experience is campsite decorations. I felt like I was at a candy assembly line. nice campground but will not be back for halloween.

Oct 16, 2017

Great family campground! Well organized and managed. We enjoyed our short stay on our way to another destinstion, but looking forward to returning for a longer stay in the future.

Oct 16, 2017

We had some neighbors that were outside watching tv (way too loud) till almost midnight. The quiet hours are âsupposedâ to be 11pm-8am but are obviously not enforced. We made several attempts to contact management and only got a answering machine. So we left a message and never received a call back.Itâs also very overpriced for gravel and dirt spots. We will not be back to this campground.

Oct 16, 2017

The sites were great! There were plenty of activities. My kids LOVED the jump pad.

Oct 16, 2017

Great staff, worked with us to get us a spot. Every thing worked. Lots to do. Will return

Oct 15, 2017

The staff and Manager (Rhonda) are customer centric and do what needs to be done to make your stay as best as possible. I LOVE this PLACE and will return from Texas next year.

Oct 14, 2017

Great place helpful workers

Oct 13, 2017

EXTREMELY OVERPRICED! To make it worse, after we arrived, after we finished payment and check in, we received a 'by the way' - and were advised that we were required to wear wrist bands the entire weekend, branding us with a name and site number. We spent the weekend looking like we had gone to a rave. The site was tiny, what little grass was there looked like it hardened been cut in weeks.

Oct 12, 2017

I stayed in the spring and saw a lot of the work that went into getting the campground ready. Trees were coming down or being trimmed, stumps were being removed. The fire truck even got a spruce up. I went out west, but was welcomed back like family when we returned. "Aunt" Rhonda, Cooper will miss you and your office staff! (The guys too!) You all gave me a reason to get some walking in.

Oct 12, 2017

The attendant that checked us in was very unpleasant, didn't want to be there, playing on the computer. Gave us a small site for our 40' MH, when the guide called in to the office, the person contacted asked if we wanted to upgrade to a "DELUXE" site. After the guide communicated with the office of available sites, we were provided a site amongst full-timers and seasonal campers. More to come..

I've stayed in a lot of KOA cabins -- the cabin smelled like someone had thrown up in it.

Oct 10, 2017

Great/Large sites. Friendly owners/employees. Easy Access To/From I-70

The bathroom was dirty on the grates that goes over the runoff water from the showers. And, it was not day old dirt but built up dirt. I scraped some off with my shoe to make sure the cleaners saw it. They removed what I took off and left the rest!! Around the panels to the walls near the floor are filthy also.

Oct 09, 2017

Getting too expensive. The giant pillow is worn out. The fire truck ride didn't happen. It seems like we're paying for improvements to sites we are not interested in. And those sites have fire pits that are so tall that you can't see down into the fire. Why are the prices so high on a weekend when there's nothing going on and the pool is closed?

Clean and helpful

Oct 06, 2017

We enjoyed the campground as well as the owners & staff...We believe this place is a hidden gold mine... thumbs up and we will return soon

Oct 05, 2017

Everyone was so nice and the location was great! We stayed in the Deluxe Cabin and it was a little smaller than the pictures indicated, but still wonderful!

Oct 04, 2017

Very relaxing

This was the first time we've stayed at a KOA with our travel trailer. It was terrible. We were right on top of those parked next to us, no privacy at all compared to state parks. We were at full hook up and the sewer inlet was right next to our picnic table. We were vendors at the Backwoods Fest and my sisters who drove up from Cincy to help us had to pay to visit campsite and leave by 9 PM.

We stay here 2x a year on our way to and from the East Coast. We have been doing this for 7+ years and have NEVER been disappointed. Facilities are excellent, level sites and bath houses are always clean. You have to eat the the Pizza Cottage which is within walking distance of the campground. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
