RV Reviews

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.

Hard to rate the campground. It rained for all but one day. Sites were very level and large. Roads were wide and easy to back up with. Staff was friendly. Bathrooms were clean and fresh. Loved the view of the river.

River view sites are the only sites i would Stay at. Speed bumps going into the campground are a little much bounces you really bad. If you want to have a campground to just sit and relax this is the campground for you. If you like to go out and visit local attractions. There aren’t too many activities close by. Especially on rainy days.

Many good things but many areas of needed work. The gravel in the sites was much too big; hurt to walk on even with shoes. A lot of things unattended (bathrooms). Needs improvements. I would probably pick a different campground next time.

DISTRUCTIVE SPEEDBUMPS HARD ON EQUIPMENT. SITES UN-LEVEL, SEWER DROPS TOO HIGH, WAY OVERPRICED. CAMPGROUND HAD A MUCH BETTER CHANCE TO BECOME A VERY GOOD CAMPGROUND WHEN IT WAS A PRIVATE CAMPGROUND..

It was very scenic and the ohio river overlook was beautiful. I did wish that there was a chair in the laundry room to sit down while you did laundry. Also having more showers in the shower house would be a big plus. Other than that we really had a nice time. This was the first time we have stayed in a koa campground. My husband said that the gravel was big and hard to walk on and be smaller

Thank you very much for your review. As a new campground we continue to do improvements, the sites have been spread with smaller gravel for the comfort of our campers. We have a total of 4 private showers 2 in the front of the shower house and 2 in the back.

They need to relevel their site pads and cover the big gravel with smaller gravel so elderly people and handicap people can walk on the easier with walkers and wheelchairs . But it’s a nice campground with friendly employees. Other then the big gravel at least put smaller gravel in the picnic table area and walking areas would be great

The speed bumps are a little extreme and is not good for the trailers has they traverse them.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you very much for your review. The speed bumps are for the safety of the kids and all the families camping with us. We want them to enjoy their bicycle rides and a nice walk at the campground.

It was great a lot of things for the grandsons to do that people who run the campground with the most friendly. I think that I’ve ever met

Weekend getaway. Loved the river views. Saw 3 eagles on Friday and a variety of other birds. Facilities are really nice and so we're the folks running the campground.

Nice park and very convenient to bridge connecting Wheelersburg OH to Greenup KY. Large spots, several right along OH River. Nice play ground for children. Only issue is lack of shade. Trees are planted, but small.
Aug 07, 2024
We chose this campground due to its Ohio River front location. Owners are very personable and the site they suggested was perfect for watching the river traffic and sunsets. There's really no shade as it's a new park with few trees. This is a pretty remote location so a vehicle would be needed to travel to area attractions such as downtown Portsmouth which is pretty unique. Clean swimming lake!

i am not a member. i had no ideal they changed until i got there. ithank there grounds are laid out a little backwards. as the pound should be out were the beach is. there is no hard surface for handycap camping. this made it hard for my mother to get in and out of my rig. at this point in time over night camping is all i would rate it at.

Great spot along the Ohio river. The place was very clean and sites were level with plenty of room. Cleanest bathrooms and shower house I've ever seen in a campground,.Plenty of on-site recreational activities for adults and kids. The owners were very friendly and helpful. I'll be back.

Sites need a little finesse work on the leveling and some of the picnic tables need work. Overall I am pleased with campground and will continue using!
Jul 29, 2024
Nice campground with lots of activities for families The sites by the river are super nice and flat. Our site was more centrally located and unfortunately it was not very flat… that did not detract from an enjoyable stay

They need to level their site pads and cover the large gravel with smaller gravel or concrete or blacktop pads other than that it’s a nice place . They are friendly and helpful

We have been to several KOA locations and yes most are great and help to the KOA standard but this location was exceptional. While it’s new and I’m sure how lots of growth to go it truly was our favorite! The owners and staff felt like family. The amenities end love shown for the kids was amazing as well. We can’t wait to be back! Very soon.

Good stay, wish could pick spot like before they became KOA.

We loved our stay at the Franklin Furnace KOA! It was well kept and had good access to the river. The playground was also safe and well kept. At night the lighting is good and it was fun to swim in the swimming pond. I have a 3 year old and 1 year old and they had a great trip!

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!
