Love Gaylord KOA. Nice employees, Clean facility, and nice sites. Will be back next year! 9/20/2021

Very nice cabin with everything i needed. Great campground, with excellent employees! See you again next year! 9/20/2021

Phenomenal as usual, will be back in the spring for mushroom season. 9/20/2021

Beautiful tall trees everywhere. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Sites were a nice distance apart. 9/20/2021

Staff is amazing. Sites could be kept up better. I feel for the price you pay sites could be flat or at least cleaned up after others. Real reason I keep going back is the staff. This camp ground could use some good cleaning of equipment and some site work. 9/20/2021

Best WiFi in any campground we have ever stayed at. 9/19/2021

We stayed two nights 6 days apart, going north to the U.P. and returning to Ohio. Gaylord KOA is exactly half way and it worked out perfectly. The sites were nice, rates were great, staff was friendly and the laundry / shower house was clean. 9/19/2021
