    Lots are easy to park. Cable great. You think you're in the middle of woods. No expressway noise. Lots for children to do. Friendly. Clean! Clean! New owners since last year. They have done wonderful improvements already. Will visit again (hopefully not in rain).

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Glad you enjoyed all our upgrades including our new cable system that was installed this spring. The perfect option to relax while "glamping" on a rainy day. We look forward to seeing you again soon, hopefully with the sun shining.

    This is my second stay at this campground. Clean, quiet and wooded area. MANY improvements have been made in the last year to this campground! Don't judge this campground from reviews prior to 2017. The new owners are making this campground into a KOA hidden gem!

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    With reviews like yours, may we be "hidden" no more! We are glad you enjoyed our upgrades and appreciate your positive feedback!

    Fun relaxing, the staff was great. Very tempted to get some pizza. Will stay again. Very convenient for the wine trail.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Glad you had a great time. We also hope rather than being tempted by our Hunt Brothers Pizza, you just gave in. Afterall, nothing says "glamping" like a specialty pizza made to order and delivered right to your site!

    It was too short. I only came up Saturday morning went to the festival, Bluegrass in St. Joseph. And left Sunday morning. The campground ground was really nice staff was friendly and accommodating. My only concern was the bathrooms were not real clean. Hope to see you next year!… Or maybe sooner

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thanks for being with us, and we apologize that the bathrooms were not as clean as both you, and we would desire. The recent rain we had during your stay always makes that a challenge, but please know we do strive to maintain clean and comfortable facilities for our guests.
    May 23, 2018
    Best staff ever. Went out of there way to make sure all was well.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Serving our guests is hardly "out of our way," it's what our entire staff is committed to! We're glad you enjoyed our hospitality.

    it was raining but the staff was very nice to us to make sure our stay was pleasant
    May 22, 2018
    We loved the size of the sites and the hosts were all very friendly. The location is very easy to get to and it was close to all the things we went up to Michigan to do. We will definately be back!

    good location easy on and easy off

    New owners have made a lot of progress. They are very friendly and welcoming. Need to solve the water problems by installing drains. Also big rocks along the roads to keep drivers off the new grass.
    May 22, 2018
    Friendly and helpful staff! Lots of stuff for kids to do. Unfortunately NOT BIG RIG FRIENDLY! Roads too skinny and clogged with camper/fifth wheel pickups. Turns too tight. Bushes too close to turns. Tree branches allowed to be too low endangering big rigs accommodations. New owners are doing a lot of work. Hopefully making it big rig friendly is on their to do list!

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We appreciate your constructive feedback. Please know that throughout the season, and especially each fall, we are very intentional about our tree maintenance. Our goal is the provide guests with a park-like setting that offers plenty of shade and beauty, while reducing challenges guests may experience driving throughout our park. We will do our best as we conduct additional pruning/trimming.
    May 22, 2018
    Everything was wonderful, except the park is not as big-rig friendly as we would have expected. Backing in required several back and forths to position to the spot. The roads in the newer area need gravel on the sides or more pavement. Also trees need trimming for taller roofs.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry that you found our park challenging for your big-rig. Like many campgrounds, ours was built in the 1970s when trailers and rigs were not quite as large as they are today, so we recognize there are some limitations here. However, with a little skill, caution and patience, most of our guests with larger units are able to successfully navigate their way.
    May 22, 2018
    Ever try to take a shower where the water pressure was barely a dribble? That was our experience! This campground cannot provide the basics! Also, if you say you provide canle, I expect a good cable signal. The best we ever had was 50% snow!

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We are sorry that you had trouble during your stay. We are also sorry that your online review was the first time anything was brought to our attention. We are deeply committed to meeting and exceeding our guests expectations and could have easily assisted you had you had let us know while you were here.
    May 21, 2018
    They had a lot of rain the weekend before we came but they were doing the best they could to accommodate everyone the new owners were great to talk with and for sure be back
    May 21, 2018
    May 21, 2018
    Very fun and family friendly!
    May 21, 2018
    This is a neat well established campground. The new owners have begun making significant improvements and that is good to see. Hopefully drainage is on the list as in heavy rain some of the sites are a bit soggy.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thanks for noticing all the upgrades we've been making. While we would love to eliminate all our water issues, mother nature has been dealing us a blow. On the heels of a winter with significant snow, our spring has seen cooler temperatures and historical levels of rain. Unfortunately, the ground is simply over saturated. We'll keep praying to the One that is charge of the weather.
    May 21, 2018
    Electrical and water not at every site on the correct side. Need extra water hose and extension cords to reach.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    As we discussed, we recognize that some of the older infrastructure in our park does not meet today's expectations. However, because you did not have an extra chord nor wanted to purchase one, we were happy to resolve the issue by providing you with an extra chord to borrow during your stay. As we continue to make upgrades, please know that we have plans to relocate these pedestals.

    Our family loves coming to the Coloma/St.Joseph KOA. The setting is just what we like - beautiful grounds with large trees, flowers, woods, etc. It definitely is NOT a campground where you feel like you are camping in a parking lot or a field. In fact, they even have a nature trail where my husband found some morel mushrooms! This plus the very friendly and helpful staff keeps us coming back!

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We are so glad you enjoyed your time with us. Although it can be overwhelming at times, our entire staff takes pride in "tending to our Garden of Eden" in effort to maintain an atmosphere that supports our guests in their quest to connect with the outdoors, relax, and enjoy time with their family and friends. We look forward to having you stay with us again!
    May 19, 2018
    The staff was friendly and very helpful. The camp grounds and facilities was always neat and clean. It was peaceful camp ground and we found plenty to do in the neighboring communities.

    Nice hosts, very friendly and accommodating.
    May 19, 2018
    We have stayed here for the past 6 years. The new owners, Mark & Carla, are wonderful. The improvements they’ve made in the short less than 2 years time are amazing. It’s clean & the facelift truly makes the stay more enjoyable. Thank you. We feel like we have new friends.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We are so glad you are enjoying the improvements and are honored to be considered as friends by many of our guests. The feeling we have towards them is mutual and genuine.
    May 19, 2018
    The new deluxe patio sites are great and the staff was very friendly and accommodating.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    As one of our first guests that have been able to reserve our new Deluxe Patio sites, we are so glad you found the higher-end experience matches the hospitality of our staff.

    Beautiful wooded park, very clean with a super friendly staff. Well located with easy on and off the highway, near Lake Michigan, the quaint city of Saint Joseph on the bluff above Lake Michigan and the cute little town of Coloma. Pet friendly and lots of entertainment for kids! We are coming back next month!

    This last stay they had a record amount of rain so alot ot sites got flooded but our site was good. Host are very nice and came around to talk to people camping. This was our 3rd time there and definitely not our last. Our #1 stop in Michigan.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thanks for making us your #1 campground in Michigan! We love talking to our guests and enjoying time with each other, even if the weather is less than ideal.
    May 16, 2018
    The camp was very nice, the people very friendly. It stormed our entire stay and we were sitting on a pond the whole time. If the weather was nicer, we probably could have enjoyed more of the park.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We are glad you enjoyed yourself, despite the weather. We have had historical amounts of rain this spring, but fortunately, it only takes a short time after the rains stop for water to evaporate or drain into the ground. We hope you will indeed come back during the summer and enjoy some Pure Michigan!
    May 15, 2018
    Was only there for the night, but wish I could have stayed longer. Beautiful campground with a LOT of activities for families to enjoy.

    We had a great stay, despite the weather. The owners and staff were fantastic!! Courtney (Director of Fun) had many activities for kids and their moms, including a craft and a movie in the newly renovated Club House. This is absolutely our favorite KOA and we can't wait to return soon!

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We are so glad you enjoyed your time with us and will be sure to pass along your encouraging feedback to our "Director of Fun!"

    Nice campground. Friendly owners. Very helpful.
    May 15, 2018
    I was really impressed on how clean and well maintained this campground was. We have stayed at many privately owne campgrounds and this one definetly has to be at the top of our list. We will coming back once the weather gets better.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thanks for your feedback. We work hard to provide a clean, organized, relaxing environment for our guests. After all, you work hard and shouldn't have to settle for anything less during your time camping! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
    May 15, 2018
    Loved the pet-friendly cabins! Exactly what we needed to spend a cool, rainy night with our dog! We were warm and cozy inside and made a nice breakfast over the campfire in the morning! Thanks for a great stay!

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We are glad we could accommodate you and your four-legged friend. We are pleased the experience was exactly what you needed. If a return trip is in your future, check out the Events tab on our website for info on our "Dog Days of Summer" themed weekend coming August 24-26.

    Campground clean. Friendly welcome. We have stayed at this KOA in the past. Hope to return again later this year. Great place to stay.
    May 14, 2018
    They have done a ton of upgrades with more on the way. So good to go back to where we started camping.
    May 14, 2018
    Very nice clean and friendly campground.

    May 14, 2018
    This was our first stay at a KOA and we will stay again! The location and size of campground was nice. It is just the two of us so we can't rate the kids activities but other campers as well as the owners and staff were all very friendly!
    May 14, 2018
    Beautiful campground, wonderful hosts. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

    This was our first time at KOA and I must say the personal were very polite and professional. The campground was very clean and my wife and I intend to come back later this summer.

    We enjoyed our stay there. Can't blame the campground for the rain

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We are glad you enjoyed our stay, and appreciate your understanding with the weather. We agree the rain was less than ideal, but unfortunately is not within our control.
