No problem with the campsite or utilities but the dust from the gravel roads was bad. Seems like some kind of dust control could be utilized.

Booked a last-minute trip with my son for the weekend. It turned out to be great. There was so much to do and the staff was friendly and helpful. I was very impressed with the facility and the way it was managed.

We had a very nice spot. We did not use any of the amenities. Only complaint I have is there was not a fire pit at my site. I do love my fire at night. They told me I could check up front and get a fire pit to take to my site but I never saw one. No marshmallows for me.

Restrooms and laundry room nice and clean, pool and jump pad cool. The water spigots need to be straightened. Fire pits way too small. Lots are small, luckily nobody was next to us. If it were fully booked it would feel like a parking lot. Seems like a lot of money for a tiny site in my opinion. Ok place for a night maybe two but wouldn’t plan my whole week here.

We have been coming to this campground for years with our family. We bring our kids and grand kids here every year. The grand kids continue to not want to leave and ask repeatedly, when are we coming back again? My husband and I give this KOA Team high KUDOS for really knowing how to make camping fun and memorable for all ages. There really is something to do for everyone.

We chose the Gaylord KOA for our family reunion as it was the 1/2 way point for Upper and Lower Peninsula family.. I have camped at KOAs for over 40 years.you can always trust the KOA to have high standards in cleanliness, fun activities for kids with themed weekends. We were lucky enough for Bigfoot! The staff in Gaylord were exceptional! Very courteous and so helpful. Will definitely come again

What a wonderful campground! So friendly, clean and quiet! This was our first time camping and we were nervous about it. Not anymore! We will definitely camp here again the Lord willing.

We enjoyed the campground. There were lots of activities for the kids. The coordinators were very friendly and seemed to enjoy being there. Only thing I can say is that the pool was very cold perhaps the heater wasn’t working during our stay this limited our use of the pool.

Wonderful staff! The amenities were great and there was plenty to do as a family. The tents items was clean and shaded as well. Thank you to the Gaylord KOA for making our stay lovely.

We had reservation at nearby state park which turned out to be unpleasant. I called KOA and was fortunate to get a site for that night. The park was pleasant, quiet, clean and friendly. Definitely I’d go again!

Friendly staff all around. We come here once/year from out of state to ride around Northern Michigan on the motorcycle. There is plenty of space between the sites. They have a nice laundry room next to the pool. We didn't use the pool but a lot of people did while we were there and they seemed to be enjoying it. It's a great place to stay for one night or fourteen nights.

Our week in Gaylord was amazing! Probably the best camping experience we’ve ever had! The staff was super friendly and helpful. The campground was immaculate and bathrooms/shower room sparkling clean. Loved the laundry room as well. Very user friendly. The pool and mini golf were a huge hit for our 12 yr old daughter. She also LOVED the wagon ride the night before we left. Absolutely no complain

Staff was friendly. Campground offers lots of activities for families. The campground is conveniently located between Gaylord and Grayling. Only suggestion would be to treat gravel roads for dust control.

Awesome owner, especially that Joe guy! He’s handsome and wicked smart.

Not a lot of amenities and the store hours posted on the door are not the hours they were open.

I noticed there is no hi-rise toilets, even in the handicapped stall. I assume that was a choice, but folks are getting taller. Other than that, the staff were great. It’s one reason we stay here.

We were put on a very small site for the size of our camper & the park was mostly empty. There were larger sites that were larger in the same row we were in. The park is being neglected. Fencing broken, cabins & picnic tables in dire need of sealing. We were very dissappointed since these are fairly new owners. Zero improvements that we could see. Even the grass & weeds were long! Very expensive!

My dog and I came for a few days as a change of pace. I'm grateful that you allow pets in cabins. This was our 3rd stay at your park. Love everything about it. I must say that cabin DK-21 might be better with a futon in the main room. The bed in there doesn't leave much room to maneuver. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. We will be back. Thank you

It’s a very nice and wooded campground with lots of great pull through sites (my favorite because I’m terrible backing up). The staff is terrific and friendly. It’s great for the kids with the pool and other areas to play in. You get that “up north” feel right a way. It was a very relaxing couples camping for my wife and I. The camp store is awesome and we love the mini golf.

2 night stay. Site was gravel but level with electrical and water hookups. not a lot of grass area. Restroom/shower facilities were clean. Did not use other areas of campground. WIFI strength was strong for streaming and getting online.

Facilities were clean. Jump pad was used by too many adults should be monitored. My grandkids were not able to enjoy due to adults using the jump pad. Campground was clean.

We love the Gaylord KOA. We have stayed at this campground every year for the last 6 years. Very clean well kept campground. The staff is so nice, friendly and helpful. We had a family emergency and they were willing and very helpful with getting our vacation rescheduled. We always look forward to our stay here.

I went up with a buddy we rode our motorcycles from Cincinnati and stayed in a deluxe cabin. I can't say enough this place is awesome

Gorgeous campgrounds that is extremely well maintained. We had a full hook up site that was level and quite large with a fire pit, picnic table and nice shading. Lovely building off of pool with very clean laundry room washroom/showers and lounging area. Staff are very friendly and can be seen throughout the day doing maintenance and available to assist campers. The store has a nice variety of items: food, beverages, clothes, games, toys... even fun items for your furry friend. Nice walking/biking trails, miniature golf, basketball hoops, bike rentals, K-9 run... Top marks for this beautiful KOA.

We have been here about three times and enjoy it every time. We always go in the fall and rent a simple cabin with our kids and dog. Bathrooms are always clean, staff is friendly and the camp store has all kinds of great things in it! They have themed weekends all year i think. We always participate in Fall-o-ween. I recommend!!
