Enfield / Rocky Mount KOA Journey Reviews

I'd say more Pro's than Con's at this Rustic KOA campground. Extremely easy on-off route 95 highway. Just 1 mile back off highway, but, you hardly hear the highway which is great. It feels very country out here nestled between swap and cotton fields. Easy check in at office with quiet but friendly guy. The property is sandy roads and huge mature pine trees. Grass was all mowed recently and there are some interesting wild flowers and cool mushrooms growing here and there. Tent camping sites were large and in nice grassy area with covered picnic tables and fire pit. They offer propane tank fills and have a dump station right beside this. The general store is quite empty, but we didn't need any supplies, so that was no problem for us. Their guest map is very nice and well designed. It surprised us that the swimming pool was still very clean and in warmer months would be very nice to relax in. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained, however they are rustic, but I have no complaints about that. The signs for the 24 laundry room are not very prominent, it's hidden around back under a staircase and beside the ice cooler. We totally missed this the first day and took our laundry into Rocky Mount downtown (which I highly recommend against! We did not feel safe at all at the 252 LaundryMat, it's in a sketchy part of town!) we would have loved to spend our money here at the campground instead. My small suggestion is: attach a sign onto the rear staircase with arrow pointing to 24 hour laundry door for guests to easy see. We saw another camper walk with laundry basket and followed her to find the 24 laundry. There is a sign on the door, but like I said when walking around the front and both sides of the building, we just didn't even notice this door tucked under the back staircase. After finding the laundry, I did check it out and am adding images here for future guests to see. Laundry was very clean and affordable. Again, wish we would have found this and spent our money here to help the campground owner. RV sites are almost all nice long pull through. Only negative is the placement of the sewer connections. The only way to hook up, places your RV steps walking right out to next RV sewer less than 3 feet in front of your RV door. This also places your picnic table real close to neighbors sewer hook up. NOTE: the campers directly in front of us when setting up and noticed this, shockingly looked at us sitting at picnic table on our site & said, “we will just use our holding tank next 2 days while ya'll here so that's not interfering with your sitting out here.” Super nice folks from Louisiana! The dog park at this KOA is excellent! They have mowed grass, covered bench to sit at while your dog plays and dog waste station with bags and trash bin. Shocker was all the very nice dog toys they provided in a milk crate inside the dog park to borrow. Our dog loves borrowing others used toys way more than any new ones we buy for him for some reason, so he was in his zoomies glory here! The cotton fields were so beautiful and cotton ready to be harvested. It surprised us that the bugs were not bad at all here. We didn't have to use any bug spray at all. The only real negative I'd say is the lack of free usage of WiFi. The map you get at check in says: 8 hours of free WiFi included. But what they do not say is: this Clock of 8 running nonstop hours starts when you connect and runs only the next 8 consecutive hours, then that's it, you are cut off. This could be frustrating for lots of unsuspecting campers. We however travel with our own Starlink connection, and just swap to that. They do offer 2 small cabins for rent and we did see some ladies renting one during our visit. There is a nice playground and we loved that it had the old school equipment we remember from being kids in the 1980's! All the playground equipment was fresh painted and in good shape. That's my full and honest opinion of camping here.

Great well kept Journey for a good overnight - bonus - Great water pressure!
