We were only here for two nights. There were a lot of activities for the kids. They had a small pool. The sites were large enough but NO shade.

Loved our weekend and grandkids have asked to make it an annual event. Two or three times a year!
Jun 24, 2025
We loved it! Lots for families and kids to do! We would definitely stay again!

We were first yelled at when we got there for not stopping at the stop signs to register, but there was no signs saying to do this! We were yelled at for dropping off kids at the pool bc we were in the way but there was no signs on where to park. I tried asking the time of the activities for the evening and I was just told they’re over. Would not stay here again!

Really enjoyed our stay. My only recommendation is actual mattresses in the cabins, the beds were really uncomfortable. Also, there were a lot of ants. I would recommend some ant traps in the cabins.

One Night traveling. Good office staff and clean organized campground. Site was clean. Unfortunately the sewer stack was higher than our trailer drain outlet and had to lift line for drainage of holding tanks. It was a very good place for us to stop for the night. The park was much cleaner and maintained better then most KOA parks.

Need dust control on campground roads. The camper escorts drive to fast bringing in new campers and the golf carts of campers need to obey the speed limit, ( just to much dust ). Over all the park is a solid 8.5 out of 10, but the dust just turns me off from returning.

Very narrow sites where we were placed. Across from us were wide spots that were empty. They were probably an up charge and would have been nice to have someone tell us about them and let us decide to pay more or not.

The cabins are nice and we love that they allow our dogs!!

I really enjoyed the Glamping! I wanted to camp a couple of days but didn’t have the desire to load my vehicle. This was a great option as I took minimal stuff yet enjoyed AC and stayed dry through two night time storms.

Lovely campground with decent amenities. We enjoyed our stay overall. BUT, the tent sites are advertised as grass pads. They aren’t. They are several inches of gravel. Which makes a big difference when staking down tents in 40mph wind with no trees. Luckily we were able to buy huge stakes at Walmart. We watched all the other campers lose their tents. Staff was unsympathetic and unhelpful.

The campground and staff are very helpful. The campgrounds look new and a lot of construction is going on which is ok. My only issue was the ground was very muddy after some heavy rains and even with the gravel that was put down, I had sticky mud on my shoes which then picked up the loose gravel. I tracked all that into my camper. It's not their fault and campsites with cement pads can be rent

Initial impression was that it was a nice park. We were in site #11. Whiile setting up it became clear that people were using this site as a short cut. First an SUV drove right down the side of us luckily before I put our slide out. Then a family with 5-6 children also paraded through. We complained to staff and asked if we could move or at least get it blocked off but were told no. Won’t retu

Nice friendly people and they make a great pizza that is delivered to your door! Just what you need after a rough day of traveling. This was our second stay and I’m sure we will be back again.

Bathroom was great! Disappointed with lawn mowing early in the morning. I was in a tent and would have liked more time to sleep.

Stayed here several times traveling back and forth to the East coast. It is clean and easy access off the highway.

It was pleasant to not hear the interstate traffic. I wish our site had been level.

Staff friendly. Stayed in a cabin overnight and can't imagine a family staying. Cabins are overpriced for what you get.

The staff went above and beyond and was sooo friendly and helpful.

Great place to stay, very clean and beautiful area. The roads and sites are gravel so there is some dust and the mosquitos were very bad when we stayed however that is kind of to be expected. I will say the wifi was the best with great speeds. They are off of the highway so it is nice and quiet place. Will stay again!

Our previous stay was a year ago. It’s amazing the amount of upgrades since then to now. The service at this KOA is top notch and all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back on our next trip through the area!

Just an overnite for us. Typical KOA that is great for overniters. Good level site that didn't require unhooking. Clean restrooms and nice dog areas. Not our 1st time here. We've stayed before on trips out west.

This campground is immaculate, both the grounds and the restrooms and showers. The staff is friendly and helpful also. The pool is crystal clear but can sometimes be a tad crowded. There are a myriad of for the kids to keep them busy. The sites are level and easy to maneuver. We camped in a 32’ trailer with our two grandchildren (ages 8 & 6) and had a great time!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Easy access to campground

Very nice, quite park with lots of amenities, including store, food, recreation. Sites are level and many have shade. Great water pressure too. Checking very friendly and helpful. Only downside is they need to spray the white chat (gravel) roadways daily if not more frequently which were VERY dusty.

Definitely worth the price! Lots of fun activities and the restrooms and showers are top notch. Very little tree coverage so no ticks but bring your own shade! The staff is amazing and food/supply delivery to your site is free! Lifetime lasting memories were made!
