Well 400 characters is far from the space needed to even attempt expressing all the ways this KOA exceeded my expectations, and in every possible aspect. This KOA location has set the bar so high from the immaculately clean showers, restrooms, & other facilities to the level of professionalism yet warm and welcoming personality of the owners. Just go check them out!! THEY’RE SIMPLY THE BEST!!!

Great place to stay, has everything you need. River view is awesome and watching barges lock through the dam is my favorite thing to do! There is an Eagle pair that usually makes an appearance too!

Office was closed when I arrived at 530, and there was a form to sign and return, despite being a rewards member with a reservation. I don't understand why some offices are open til 8 or 9. Host came around later and was nice, but also mentioned a copy of picture ID now being required. No office hours posted or overnight drop box. The bathroom and shower were immaculate and worked well.

Happy to hosted you, Our host is dedicated to serving our guests. We are off camping season and our office hours are different from our peak season from 9 am to 9 pm. The overnight drop box is there next to your welcome envelope. We are happy that worked well for you.

It's a beautiful setting. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets on the river. Watching the majestic bald eagles soaring over the river is aweinspiring. Everyone is kind and helpful reaching out to one another in times of need, especially now with subzero temps, every source of warmth is welcome!

Very clean and well maintained. The camp hosts were very helpful, responsive and friendly. The WiFi service was excellent with very good speeds. Access to the beach was a nice bonus. The dog park was small but very well done and fun for the dogs to play on the equipment. The playground was extensive and nice. They were able to accommodate our 40' diesel pusher motorhome, plus dolly and car.

We were very happy with this new campground right on the Ohio River! Looks like they are going to put in a lot of new features in the future. Good Luck Franklin Furnace KOA. We would give you an A.

We have travelled the YS and this park and staff were one of our favorites. We arrived after the office was closed without a reservation and’ the camp hosts and staff got us right in, plus allowed us to move sites, to back up to the beautiful serine Ohio River. Truly a great experience, thank you!!

What a beautiful location beside the Ohio River. We watched barges go through the Greenup Locks with a campfire in the early morning. Thank you for a great campground.

A great time had camping at this location. A pool would probably make us Camp more due to the fact that my wife and grandkids love the pool. Thank you.

This place was awesome. We had river view, when we realized our grandkids would be with us they moved us closer to the playground when we asked. The camp store was well stocked. The lots are easy to get into and level. Very quiet area. We will be back soon. Train rides, foam party, wagon rides, putt putt, swimming lake,
