Great KOA! I wish all KOAs spaced out their sites like Franklin Furnace KOA. It was nice to have some space between neighboring sites. The campground is immaculate. The KOA campground is new and still growing. We stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed our stay. We ventured to Portsmouth to see the Flood Wall Murals. Gas and groceries are close by. Office staff and host were friendly and helpful.

My surge protector noted an open ground, when requesting another site was told all pedestals show that, but not a problem. Suggested I remove the surge protector and sign a waiver.

We are sorry we didn’t meet your expectations. We offer you a new site, but didn’t want to change. We check the electric on your site and it was working fine. Another camper try to help you by letting you know your surge protector wasn’t working. We haven’t had no problems with the electric

Staff was friendly. Sites are nice and level plenty of space in between them . Nice place!! Right on the Ohio river and you get to watch the tow boats going up and down the river.

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
Nov 04, 2024
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.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

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.

Owners driving around picking up the smallest litter, well laid out, literally feet from the river. Looks like a newer facility all around. Would stay again

We absolutely love this campground! The staff is so friendly and helpful. Our boys love the playground, the peddle cars and the mining. Everything is so clean and the campground is taken very good care of. We are already planning our next camp!
