Campground Reviews

Oct 07, 2023
It was a nice, quiet stay.areas very clearly marked. Right next to the river. Close to local services and groceries. Morning service was great, trash service and propane tank refill when needed. The only thing I will do different next time is grab a full hookup so I can catch better Wi-Fi for my work video calls. But I had reception in all corners of the property

Great location with some sites on the Yakima River. Close proximity to Ellensburg. Friendly and helpful hosts.

Second stay. Great customer service. Large pull-through site which was private and peaceful. Cable TV didn’t work and over the air reception was poor.

We don't offer cable tv, we offer digital antenna connection with is at the mercy of the air waves.

Especially appreciate the large dog run. Biggest one of all the KOA Campgrounds I stayed at.

Very pretty site, but could not receive TV and the Wifi was spotty. Spoke to staff and the TV issue has been a known problem for a few years. Staff was very nice and helpful.

Why would you put water and sewer on one side of the site and power on the other side makes it very hard to hook everything up

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We do have a few sites where it was necessary to have the electric pole separated from the water and sewer. Since all 3 are hooked up with different lines, it's not very hard to hook each up separately.

This was our third stay at at your KOA , I would highly recommend the ellensburg KOA to anyone looking for a great place to camp, or just overnight like we did, the new managers are going above and beyond with customer service, we had a issue with our 50 amp service not working and John was very helpful getting us going, we will definitely stay again on our way through next year!!

I stayed in a cozy cabin. I arrived after hours and easily found my keys at check in. The cabin heat was on sit was warm and cozy! Cabin was really nice and well maintained . I checked out early by dropping keys in drop box. I told several family members how well is was maintained and sent them pics so they could see how cute the decorations were.

An adequate run of the mill place in a noisy, just off the freeway location. Fine for in transit, but definitely not a destination in itself.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are branded as a KOA Journey, which is meant to be easily accessible to travelers. If someone is looking for a destination park, then a KOA Holiday or Resort would be a better fit for them.

Very friendly and helpful. Even waived goodbye as we were leaving.

Stayed there several times and always enjoy.

We stayed twice - once on our way to Montana, and once on the way home. The park is clean and neat. The staff is friendly and helpful. Location right on the Yakima River is nice. We had a huge cottonwood tree in our site the second night. It was beautiful! Traffic noise is an unavoidable price to pay for easy freeway access, but didn't deter from our enjoyment.

Great large site with lots of amenities. Convenient location at the crossroads of 2 highways but still remote.

Very friendly, courteous staff. Very clean bathrooms & showers, however shower stalls are very small. Can barely turn around in shower without touching sides & curtains. Showers & bathrooms are quite a long distance from camping area. All in all, experience was great, quiet & peaceful.

Lots of road noise from I90

Camp site access to hookups was very inconvenient and grass at site non existent due to lack of water. Campground is next to a river, so there is no shortage of water. Campsite charge was considered excessive considering the above factors.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Our hookups are conveniently located near the front or rear of each site. Our location is in a dry, desert climate region so despite being along a river, rain is required to water the sites that are consistently booked. Our common lawn area is well watered and well maintained.

I showed up after hours , my envelope was ready but Someone else was in my spot. I tried to call the after hours number 3 x and no one answered and there was not a message. So I ended up just taking another spot, hoping it wasn’t going to be someone else’s. The person in my spot was gone in the morning . I was going to get a picture.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We have an after hours registration box where we leave information on available sites should someone come in after hours without a reservation and want a site for the night. Unfortunately, there are times when people don't check what sites are available and inconsiderately pull into any empty site.

We enjoyed our stay at the Ellensburg KOA. Beautiful location on the Yakima River. The staff was very friendly, and helpful. The only downside was the proximity to the highway.
Sep 26, 2023
The staff was fun and always asking if we need anything.this was my first time at a koa and I would stay again very comfortable. Very easy to park and very clean.thank you

We were disappointed that in our pull thru site we shared the picnic table area with the RV beside us. There was no privacy at all. The dog park was good.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Many of our sites are "buddy sites" that allow groups to camp together, sharing a bit of common space. Requests can be made to move sites or not be assigned a buddy site. If we are not made aware of preferences, we can't accommodate them.

Nice Friendly staff. Couldn't ask for a better staff. Made our family get together a big success.

Very friendly staff(10+). Very noisy freeway traffic no sleep.

The staff was friendly, but the bathrooms where not kept clean enough. The women's room looked like it hadn't been mopped in a long time. The floor seemed too dirty to risk a shower. A toilet in the men's campground bathroom had overflowed all over the floor, and was left unattended for at least a whole day. The other mens toilet, by the office, was also dirty and out of toilet paper.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We check/stock our bathrooms several times a day and appreciate campers who are considerate when using public restrooms, though not all are, and who report issues such as overflowing toilets when they happen.

Maybe it was just the time of year, but we were swarmed by flying gnats and they got inside and were everywhere. The traffic from the nearby Interstate highway 90 was also constant and fairly loud.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

People love to go camping and connect with nature but sometimes nature connects with us more than we'd like. As a KOA Journey we are conveniently located off I-90 yet far enough away that the highway is not even in sight allowing guests to focus on the flowing Yakima River.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Clean grounds, campsites and restrooms. Generally pretty atmosphere. The only reason I didn’t give the very highest marks is that it is right on a road where you can hear the traffic easily and it’s overall setting of the area around the campground is not as spectacular as some. (Not that it was unsafe feeling, just not the great views and such that some may h

Comfortable and peaceful! I was in tipi 2, right on the river. I surprised to have so many amenities included…even bedding! I couldn’t get any channels on the TV, but remembered I was supposed to be on vacation anyway! Staff was courteous and the park was clean.
Sep 21, 2023
Wifi was awful and due to the location of the park my Verizon cellular data was not good. Please improve the wifi for the park. Otherwise, we had a good stay.
Sep 20, 2023
Price was outrageous compared to other KOA sites.

We wish the Wi-Fi was stronger

On Saturday 16 September my wife and I checked into site #54. The sewer system at #54 cover could not be screwed on because someone had broken off the end on there sewer connection in the drain pipe. The sewer gas smell was terrible when I ask for the staff to fix it they stated it could not be removed as it was wedged in tight. After two days we left early. Worst KOA we have ever stayed in.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

When we are made aware of a problem we fix it or find a solution such as moving to another site. Sometimes we do both. Sometimes people would rather complain, lie, and leave bad reviews after being reminded of our no refund policy.

Always a pleasant stop over.

Our favorite place to stay. Very relaxing.
Sep 19, 2023
Loved it….. Stayed in a Teepee was so fun and comfy. Will be back again next year.

Beautiful Park right on the river. Would have stayed another day but the wind was howling.
Sep 19, 2023
This is a very clean and well-maintained campsite. The employees were efficient and friendly. We’d definitely stay again.
Sep 19, 2023
Stayed in many KOAs in Canada & USA.Elllensburg KOA by far has been the worst camping experience we’ve encountered. Campground is not maintained, dirty pet area, laundry facilities & campsites.We paid for a full hookup site(water, power and sewer)& when it was time to use the sewer we couldn’t b/c of a problem with the system and the campground knew & hid the fact, very deceitful. Not KOA stan

Owners are very nice. Park is clean and well kept. We will definitely visit again.

My family and I typically stay a a few different KOA camp grounds a year. This was probably the best as far as the bathrooms being clean and the staff being very friendly. Will come again.

Amazing campground. Have some activity planned on most days. Extremely well maintained.

I only gave 4 stars as the WI-FI did not work at all.

A good place to stop in. The laundry did not have a coin machine and it was a bit expensive for a campsite. $71. But that's kind of what you get with a KOA, and this specific campground probably doesn't have much control over that. They had a very clear area to register for the night if you came in after hours, which we did.
