At night the trains interrupted my sleep

This KOA is absolutely the nicest people! They accommodated our every need. Could not recommend a more peaceful and nice campground off of the highway to stay at. Highly recommend staying there. Pool was very clean and bathrooms.

It was a nice campground to stay the night for a rest before continuing our trip to Myrtle Beach’. We will be back next year for sure. Only thing that we could suggest os grads for the doggy play yard. Our pups loved being in their but could not really run and play fetch because of the rocks hurting their paws. Otherwise everything was great

The train whistle and lack of TV reception are the only downside. All in all, it is a great spot to stop over and rest.

Site was not level at all and poorly laid out….site #4 Electric on one end and sewer almost out in the road on the other end. Tight spot, no picnic table or any amenity. Train goes by every couple of hours so didn’t get much sleep.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

this particular site is described as a basic site and does state in the description that it has no picnic table or fire ring, which is why this site is sold at a discount. You did book online and this was mentioned. The train is also mentioned on our website, as well as in all site descriptions.

Nicest KOA ever! Friendly staff, beautifully maintained, immaculately clean bathrooms. The only downside is the train horns.

Young lady at the counter very unfriendly, couldn't wait to rush us out so she could leave. Not the usual welcome i have received from Koa locations all over the east coast.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Sorry you felt our staff was unfriendly and trying to rush you're check-in. We will look into ways to better improve the check-in process as this is not our normal.

We arrived in the area three hours early .. we called ahead to ask if we could check in early .. we were advised that they were replacing gravel at the site so we could not check in more than two hours early .. we got there an hour and a half early and they charged me $10 fee for early check in. And by the way they did not replace any gravel at the site .. The fee should have been waved.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Our check-in hours are 2pm, this is posted on website, as well as notice of early check-in fees. we planned on gravel that day, but an emergency on the campground took priority. Check-out is not until 12pm, and staff need time to clean up sites to get it ready for the next guest.

I really liked this KOA. We were only passing through for one night, so we reserved a pull-thru with Paw Pen, so we wouldn’t have to set up our own dog fence. The site was really nice. It included a fire pit with chairs around it, and chairs around a table with umbrella. It faced the woods, so it felt private. The campground has lots of places for kids to play. My daughter enjoyed the playground

Helpful staff.. easy to get to from the north but tuff u turn on main highway to get into from the south.. ok for a nights stay.. train came buy couple times a day and night but really no problem.. but all in all an ok experience..

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us and for the kind words, we enjoyed having you and can't wait to see you again during your travels! If traveling back, please ensure you take exit 17 (north or south on 95) this will avoid the u-turn.

The staff is wonderful and the campground is easy to access off 95. Just know for an overnight stay it is perfect, but for longer stays there is a freight train that blows it horn behind the campground.

This place is awesome! Right off I-95, tons of amenities, well laid out! It also has an awesome, huge pool, bouncepad for the kids, a dog park, laundry, and a bunch of other stuff! Overall, we'll absolutely be back here soon, and would highly recommend it. It is close to a train track! It didn't bother me at all, but it may bother some. 100% we'll be back! Thank you!

Very nice pool and facilities! We were impressed with the AC for the bathhouse. Staff wS very friendly. Some of the sites are a little tight but ok for 1-2 day stay.

Easy access from I95. Pretty bummed everything closed at 7pm. Great pull thru sites. Very small. Not much to do there for kids. That’s why we normally select KOA’s. IMO only good for overnight stays.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us, we are a small campground, we do have a playground, jump pad, game room, outdoor games to borrow in the campstore, and a pool.

Very disappointed with the lack of interest for the 4th of July holiday. No effort made to display flags or holiday decor. Minimal interactive activities for campers. Campsite and facilities were clean and well maintained. This was not a good representation of a KOA holiday.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us, sorry you feel we didn't represent; we did have some decorations up and the week prior, heavy storms destroyed many of them. We had several activities both Friday and Sat., we are a small campground and did not have many kids, so we have turned to self-guided activitie

There is really nothing there to do other than swim in a small pool. The train makes a large about of noise at all hours of my stay. The site is run down most of the games in the game room are broken and out of order. The staff at the site are rude and pounded on the restroom door I was only in there 2 min. I was also asked to leave after asking for ride to store from fellow KOA guest.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We do have a large pool, we knock on restroom doors prior to cleaning to ensure nobody is inside before entering. We do not allow solicitation on campground, knocking on camper doors asking for rides is a form of solicitation.

Very friendly staff. Our kids loved the playground, courts, arcade, pool, and the bounce pad! The dogs enjoyed the dog park. Amenities were well maintained and clean. Highly recommend this park to families with kids of all ages and pets.

The Emporia KOA is located close to I-95 which make the campground a nice place for a stop over. Note that this park is open year round. The pool was not open yet as it was early April. Overall the park is clean and we'll maintained. The single drawback is the close proximity to a frequently used railroad. This should not stop anyone from enjoying this KOA though.

Great KOA tucked away in Emporia, VA. Big camping spaces, nice bath houses, and great amenities. Staff was friendly and facilities were cleaned.
