Campground Reviews

Aug 05, 2024
Check in was flawless- we made reservations while heading that way hoping for a spot to stop overnight to our final destination. We picked a river facing spot and that was really nice. We live in landlocked Arizona, so it was great to hear and see flowing water. As per most KOA,s it was literally off a manor highway but it is nestled in trees and we did not hear a thing! Bathroom very clean.

We were in need of a 1 night stop due to the heat. Fortunately Ellensburg was able to accommodate us. Didn’t use any facilities, just grateful they had a spot for us.

Front desk folks were nice. Definitely an older campground that needs some TLC. Pull thru site had almost no grass, just dirt. My biggest issue was that our sites were group sites facing each other but online it did not say that. Awkward to sit outside and face your neighbors or have them sleep with their camper door open while you are out there. That needs to be noted online. Zero privacy.

Quick overnight stay, did not use the amenities.

•Gave short notice for booking, and was still given 2 sites together directly on the river. •Exceptional staff and facilities. •Offered military and first responder discounts. •First time at a KOA, and don’t think I’ll ever camp anywhere else!

Way too expensive for what it is. I’ve been staying at KOA’s on my recent trip. Most of them were lovely. This KOA was very rundown, dirty and by far the most expensive. If you’re going to price gouge, please put some of the money back into your facility so that people are getting a good value for their money. And if you have no plans for that, please lower your rates so that they are reaso

We were only there for a few days but will be back. We want to stay longer and explore the surrounding areas.

The campground was nice considering it was right beside the freeway which made is a bit loud but the sites were decent. The pool was refreshing i.e cool but nice. Unfortunately, there was a transformer going off right beside our campsite all night which made very loud high-pitched sound. It could be heard throughout the campground. No one looked at it until the next morning so not the best sleep.

Terrible place , run down, and dirty!

Beautiful KOA by the river. Nice and quiet camp located near the freeway. Showers could be updated.

Very poor campground conditions. Not at the least bit pleased. Reservation was a mess and nothing was done to correct it. The site we ended up on had no sewer hookup. They did do a pump out at no charge the day we left. The park is in poor condition and compared to other KOA sites we stayed at, not even on the same page. Cleanup the place!

We just needed a place to stop for one night on our journey…front desk lady was awesome, park was clean, site was level! Pool looked nice but was chilly so didn’t use. Definitely recommend to our traveling friends.

Beautiful back in river spots! Clean restroom, helpful staff.

This KOA is the least maintained of any KOA we have stayed at. Extremely overpriced for services not provided, I.e., no sewer connection for over $100 per night. Sites were crowded together/lack of privacy. Roy and Janet Tweedle

Clean, friendly, and very helpful! We appreciate all you do to provide such a hospitable stay!!

Price is double what I would expect to pay for the experience we had. There were issues with both power and water while we were there. The spots are too close together for the price as well. They gave away our friends' reservation without checking with them prior so our camping with friends trip did not work out.

We loved everything about it! The staff, things to do, the sites were perfect, the pool was great! We will definitely be back next year!

Our site on the river was amazing! The car noise from I-90 was loud at night

They were very accommodating for last-minute reservations, great customer service and clean! Busy weekend and accommodated the long line of trailers that were trying to empty before they left.

Was very crowded. There didn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason with placing of the motorhomes the The Yakima. rivers, the only thing going for it and most of the time you couldn’t see it because of the placement of motorhomes, you can not use the river so being on the river was not, a High Point .. grounds were not well cared for and the woman’s bathroom was dirty.

Wonderful stay, plenty space between RV, hookup good for motorhomes.

Gayle and Athena was extremely compassionate and friendly of my situation. The camp felt safe and all camp personal was busy keeping it clean. I highly recommend this park. The river is beautiful, my Goldens enjoyed the dog park and I noticed many families having fun.?

Very very expensive

We were put into a spot that had a big cottonwood tree. A week before we arrived. A limb that came off damaged a pickup. While we were there a second limb fell off and put a couple of holes in the roof of the RV next to us. And one of the limbs hit our Rv but fortunately our RV was not damaged. We were up late that night and tree company was there at 7. If anything went wrong we were toast, no c

Overcharged for the condition of the campground. The area around the restrooms needs a complete update.

Nice clean park!

We truly enjoyed our time here. Great amenities and staff was fantastic! This was our first time here and not our last for sure!!

Nice big campground. Trees for shade. Small enough room between sites. Had good WiFi.

Friendly staff, great site right on the beautiful river!

enjoyed the pool and river! Sure close to the freeway...but not bad because steady "noise" :) Nice feature to have outdoor movie night on Saturday! (and great feature to have the popcorn for us!!!) Very close to Carey Lake-a very fun addition for things to do.

Power went out for 12 hours. Not campground fault. Pool lining is in need of replacing or repair. Very dusty but understand that it’s very hot.
Jul 23, 2024
Questionable when there is Narcan in the bathrooms. Seemed understaffed because checkin a minimal attention to detail. Would not stay again.
Jul 23, 2024
Nice park right off the highway. We only stayed one night on our way home. It had a nice pool to cool off after a long day of driving. Very friendly and helpful staff at check in. Older but clean bathrooms and showers.

Beautiful quiet spot, very clean facilities, friendly staff, and a cute puppy too!

Very nice stay, nice community, nice employees.

We lost power and water for one of the nights which the staff worked on through the night. Other than that it was a great trip.
Jul 22, 2024
We experienced a power outage at the campsites from 8pm Sat 7/20 to Sun 7/21 in early am. Called office about 10pm and was told the power should be in around 10:30pm. It was way too hot to not have ac running. There was staff riding around on carts but nothing said to anyone. Campers were told something different when called Kittas power. I got a not our fault when mentioned Sunday at checkout

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The facility was clean and quietdo wish that there were more organized activities for the kids like at other Koas like crafts and games. The power went out and there was no communication as well as the outage was reported to pse much later than it should have. With the current temperatures this was not safe. Also the pool liner as coming loose which is a safety issue.

The pictures online do not accurately portray what the actual campsites looks like. Revive the dead grass and work on landscaping ASAP. We had wasps actively coming in and out of our campsite plus dead snag trees over a brand new camping trailer.

The staff were great. Too many sites, people were cutting thru our site quite often on Friday and rude. Should be some trails to go on to bathroom from over by the river. Enjoyed the margaritas and hot dog night.
Jul 21, 2024
Was good stay. Only thing is we were in TP site and while linens were provided which was greatly appreciated and clean it does get cold in early morning hours so maybe provide extra top blanket or recommend to bring additional for comfort. We got quit cold. Was enjoyable though. Thank you!

On my way to the Seattle Folklife Festival, I stopped by the Ellensburg KOA Journey for an overnight in one of their beautifully furnished Nomadics Glamping Tipis. Their three tipis are facing the Yakima river and are equipped with an outdoor grill, picnic table and comfortable chairs to lounge in and listen to the river and the birds. All tipis are 22ft and have a queen bed as well as up to 4 twin beds (2 beds, 2 pull out mattresses). Electricity and wifi is provided as well as a TV, fridge, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. - This KOA also offers a small pool, a store, a children's play area and is located right next to the I-90. It is a great place to stop for a night or two on your road trip throughout the Pacific Northwest.
