Nicest family owned campground I’ve ever been too-super kid oriented with Easter egg hunt/foam cannon/etc. Super clean facility with breathtaking views of the Ohio River-can’t wait to come back!

We had a site right on the Ohio River which was great sitting by the fire watching the tug boats go by. This is a great location if you are looking to visit Serpent Mound. Very clean and great staff.

Directions don't match up with Google. No pull through sites as converted to backup only. They're only 6 sites taken. Yet it's a Journey. Standing water everywhere. And dog dropping. No garbage area. Bathhouse in another area. No signs in park for way finding. Really need to examine this!!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We offered you a pull trough, but you booked a River view, we had rain for 2 days the grounds were wet, our signs are reflective and they are marked on every road. Our garbage station its marked with signs , we have 5 doggy stations around the campground and 24hr camping host at your service.

Very nice KOA, hope to be back when the weather is warmer and the KOA is fully operational. We stayed there end of November and most activities were closed for the season.

Beautiful campground right along the Ohio River. We had reserved a site that our back yard was the Ohio River and it was beautiful. All of the staff was extremely friendly and would definitely book at this campground again!!

Campground was very clean camp employees were very helpful and friendly the only down fall was the road construction at the entrance to campground

We loved it there and we had our grandkids they love it to and want to go back. The only bad thing I can say is that there was the speed bumps
Nov 04, 2024
We appreciated the KOA staff person who helped us find a way out of the campground during the maintenance of the railroad, which blocked the normal entrance to your campground.

Beautiful. Clean. But as I was checking in, I asked the manager about the frequency of trains since the site is right next to train tracks. He said, Maybe a few per day. My definition of a few is 3. not a dozen plus in the short 10 hour stay. The layout for the dump station. Its not located properly. On a side hill at the entrance and only accessable on one side. Water was not working.

Thank you for your review, Our closest site from the train is 600 feet away and your camping site is 700 feet away, sorry for the inconvenience of the train the only access to the river is over the railroad tracks. All of our camping spots are full hook ups. We are on flat ground. Water is always av

Had an amazing time and the staff was so helpful and friendly.

A very new campground with a bright future. Easy in, easy out near main roads. We had a site with beautiful views of the Ohio River. We will put this park on our list of KOA favorites and include it in future travel plans when we can. Airstream owners will likely find sewer connections a bit too tall considering “our” low to the ground connections. State law I suspect, not park’s fault.

Love this campground, close to home, nice large lots. Newer campground so not much shade but trees have been planted. The trick or treat for the kids during my stay was awesome. Grandkids had a wonderful. Will be back again.

Had river view and the view was amazing. Quiet and peaceful. The train added to the ambiance. Watched numerous barges navigate the locks. We realize the campground is relatively new and an honest attempt is apparent….keep up the good work.

I really enjoyed the river view lot I was in. The lots were well separated with plenty of room to get into. I was really happy the office had ice because I forgot!!! I'll try to visit again next summer when I can stay for a few days. Sunset over the river was very nice.
Oct 08, 2024
The sites were very clean and plenty of space between other sites. Lots of activities for all ages! And I love that they celebrate Halloween EVERY weekend in October!!

Was great!

Our campsite was right on top of another campsite and we were facing them. It was very awkward. The worst part is that we paid extra for this site. The description online of the site is very inaccurate.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, this are buddy sites and they are very popular, with friends and family camping together, plus you are very close to the playground.

I would like to see black too or concrete made it brought for toddlers to ride their bikes.

This is our second time camping at Riverview KOA and it was as wonderful as the first time. The views are beautiful, the staff is friendly, and the facilities are well kept and modern. We enjoyed fishing in the pond, walking the grounds, and our little boy loved the large playground. We had a wonderful and relaxing weekend. We'll definitely be back!

Franklin Furnace KOA is a great hidden gem! Right off the Ohio River! We loved our River site, close to river access, great view, and loved watching all the large boats! Quiet camp ground, however you can somewhat hear the high way and constant trains. You can see many trains go by the campground. There is a lock that you can also see from the campground. The campground had a really large playground. We had a pretty level site. The road to the KOA is a little odd, but very well marked with signs. Only minutes for Kentucky and West Virginia. We used this campground as a base to see Hocking Hills and New River Gorge National Park. Great place and would recommend!
