Campground Reviews

Mar 23, 2023
Campground is new to KOA family, noticeable upgrades being made! Immaculate bathrooms, new concrete pads being poured, will be great when completed! Pool, pavilion, laundry, playground,all NICE!… local train,but nice wooded area. Would prefer mulch instead of stone in camp K-9….I think this campground will be wonderful after the upgrades are done, sadly nothing is cheap! Best of luck KOA!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you so much for staying with us, we're glad you enjoyed our newly renovated bathhouse, and we will look into your advise about putting mulch into Kamp K-9!! we hope to see you again soon!

Easy off/on US 95. Very nice sites and facility. Friendly staff. Pull-thru sites by the office are very level. Some train noise but we slept fine.

We pulled into the campground in the evening and out again early the next morning. The bathrooms were very clean. The noise from the train was a little bothersome but fortunately not too frequent. FYI there was an unregistered RV in our site when we pulled in but pulled out when we showed him our display tag. He was charging his RV on the electric at our site.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

So glad you enjoyed your stay with us! thank you for letting us know about the unregistered RV, we will look into it. We hope to see you again soon!

We called there after having difficulty getting other sites in the areas while traveling home from Florida. So we were lucky and happy to get a site for the night we called. Office personnel on phone were very helpful. The bathrooms look to be remodeled and very clean. The only thing that we didn’t appreciate was the proximity of a railroad that run through the night pretty frequently.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

So glad we were able to accommodate your travel needs, sorry that the trains kept you up at night, but hope to see you again soon.

We have stayed here several times and always enjoy the stay. Great office staff and clean grounds. The only negative is the entrance is bumpy and full of holes.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are glad that you came back to visit us! We currently have plans to upgrade the entrance to eliminate the potholes, tank you for the review and can't wait to see you again!

We were only there for an overnight, but people were super friendly and our site was nice and level and although it wasn’t the time of year to be there for the pool, the pool area looks very nice, I would go again

Staff member taking our reservation was courteous and efficient. She arranged for us to have 3 sites together. Bathhouse was clean, but small and did not have soap. The cemetery beside the campground was a little off-putting. Also, the train crossing nearby was somewhat loud, but didn’t interfere with our sleeping. Overall, a nice stopping off point when traveling elsewhere.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for the review and staying with us! We hope to see you again in the near future.

Arrived after office closed and found our site, it was level but carved out of a hillside. Tough for seniors to walk dogs...would have preferred site at bottom of hill but didn't know better when making reservation.

Perfect place for us to overnight. Bathrooms were brand new and our pull through spot was easy in and easy out. Would definitely stay there again.

While we read the note about "pardon our dust, while we make upgrades to our bathroom", we were not prepared for no working showers and only one working toilet and sink in each restroom. This was our first stop on a three week RV adventure. We shook it off and continued on but we were very disappointed.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Sorry about your experience during your stay, while we understand your frustration and disappointment with the bathhouse, we had some unforeseen plumbing issues that happened last minute, I am happy to say our new restrooms are open and we have closed down the old ones.
Mar 06, 2023
Emporia please consider updating the pull thru overnite sites sewer access .. They stand too high & interfere with proper drainage .. However, it is convenient for overnite stay in that area. Staff are very friendly & kind :)

Thank you for your feed back, we are working very hard on upgrading the campground during our off season and hope to see you again soon.

Liked location to 95. temp bathrooms in bathhouse were a little rough.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your stay, we are are working hard to make improvements to the bathhouse, we have opened our new bathhouse and hope to see you again soon.

The facilities were nice and well maintained but there was no level ground to set a tent on, I typically sleep on the ground and have no trouble but the entire site was full of tire ruts.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we have addressed this issue with guest driving into the sites causing the tire ruts and will be smoothing out the ground. Hope to see you again in the future.
Mar 06, 2023
Tight spaces. I wouldn’t want to have the fire and smoke right next to my rig. Bathrooms are under renovation but what was done was not appealing. Toilets were super low. Train passing all night was not great but nothing can be done about that.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback, we are working on addressing theses issues while we make improvements to the campground.

The trains run constantly all night long if you don’t mind that

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Sorry to hear that the trains behind the campground are so loud, but we still hope you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again soon.

Just okay for an overnight stay due to location to I-95. Spots are too narrow & very uneven and muddy. Trains were constant and noisy and large trucks passing through are not safe.

This campground is run down in comparison to other KOAs. The showers were under construction and we were not informed upon booking.

I like the woodsy feel of this campground. Nice pull thru 50 amp site. It rained for most of our stay, so we did not get to explore much of what there was to offer. Keep making improvements and this will be 5 star in no time!!

Thank you for staying with us! Hope to see you again soon so you can enjoy a day without it raining.

Billie Joe was great however the older lady in the office called to nag about paying rent even though it was late and lied to us about a statement Billie Jo had said. The train goes through 20 plus times a day not very relaxing at all. I would not recommend this KOA to anyone.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for bringing this to our attention as a training opportunity.
Feb 27, 2023
This is a nice campground for an overnight stay, convenient to I95 and route 58. Negatives… the train noise is quite loud, and we were notified last minute that the bathrooms were out of order.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feed back, We apologies for the last minute closure of the bath house, we had a plumbing emergency beyond our control. We hope to see you again soon.

While understanding that the campground is a work in progress, it should never have been advertised as a KOA holiday and maybe not a KOA at all. The bathrooms were a disgrace. In the ladies room the toilets were over flowing and the floor was covered with water. In the men's room the water had come under the wall. There were leaves in the corner indicating it hadn't even been swept. Lots more

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Sorry to hear you your stay wasn't pleasant. We are taking the off season to complete our renovations. We hope you'll return to see the improvements we have made once renovations have been completed.
Feb 23, 2023
Store closed at 4 pm. Near train tracks. Trains ran all night long blowing whistle. It is still under construction. Bathhouse was closed when we tried to use it. Once construction is finished and you don’t mind the sounds of trains it will be a nice campground.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feed back. During the off season office closes at 4 and during peak season closes at 7. While we are under renovations during our off season, we hope you come back and visit to see all the upgrades.

Very nice. The person I talked to reserve a site was very Olive and businesslike. I asked for a certain site our request was granted. I asked for information about food delivery, list if restaurants was included with a campground map. Our stay was enjoyable has it has been foor the past 8 years. Thank you!!

I am so happy to hear you had a wonderful experience with our staff and are glad you are a returning guest and can't wait to see you on your next travel.

Our Rig is 82’ overall (45’ bus & 36’ Stacker Trailer). Billy Jo was very accommodating by putting us in a very long site (#144) and providing Traffic Cones to prevent any accidents. We would definitely stay again!

Thank you so much for staying with us! I am glad we were able to accommodate your long RV. We look forward to you staying with us again in the future!

We felt very comfortable at your KOA. Everyone was very kind and tried to make us feel welcomed even though you are new and under construction. I like this stop on our way south and will probably stay at your facility again.

We so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and we can't wait to see you again so you can check our our updated renovations.

Train ran every hour with a whistle. No showers. Wish I had k own ahead of time. Everything else was fine communicating these issue ahead of time is a nice business practice.

The check-in was great. The staff is very nice. The actual site was a mud-pit. It had rained quite a bit and the drainage was terrible. The KOA appears to be a "work-in-progress". The office/store closes very early at 4:00 PM.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, I'm sorry to hear your site was muddy do to the heavy rain throughout the week. Hope you will come back and see us after all the renovations have been completed. safe travels.

Easy on easy off 95 new KOA. Very well maintained, and their hard work shows. Very pleasant and clean place. Friendly. Great job by the owners and staff. Bath House is immaculate and new. There was some train intermittent train noise. That did not bother us at all. The cemetery that folks were chatting about is well kept and at the edge, not in the campground. You only see that if you are in one certain area and look past the RVs. We will definitely be back! It will be our regular stop up and down 95.

Excellent campground, a bit in the middle of nowhere but services are pretty complete and if your a fan of small towns emporia itself is pretty neat in that aspect

Quick and easy to get on and off the highway. Sites are narrow, but trees in between them give a nice separation between neighbors. Bathrooms were clean. Can't speak to amenities since we just did a quick overnight, but highly recommend for a pit stop.
