Campground Reviews

Jul 04, 2026
We had a cabin and a camp site. Camp site was fine. Cabin was filthy when we arrived. Tooth paste all over sink and mirror. Coffee dried on counter by coffee pot. Dish washer did not work. Walls were filled with finger prints. Fridge was so large you could hardly get into hallway. Could also leave some household items since we pay so much to use the cabin. Should be more like airbnb.

This park has gone downhill since new owners and management took over. After 20 plus years of staying here we will not be returning. It’s sad that Travis cannot be trusted and has ruined what was once our favorite campground. We were lied to about tubing. Other amenities were either non existent or not up to past standards. Travis doesn’t care about guests or maintaining the standards of KOA.

We had a great time & will be back as always!!

We have been camping at Hayward for years and years and nothing has been updated. I know it’s not a five star hotel but more attention to the small details would be appreciated !

Waterside is down, red pine Cafe is closed monday and Tuesday, almost half the bathrooms are broken and not clean. Why have amenities if they wont open them to paying customers(the red pine) and invest some money into the place to make it look nice again. Been the same for almost 30 years.

Firewood was not brought to site, had to request. No coin change for laundry, had to go to town to get change. Showers were untidy.

Our stay was fine. Disappointing, of course, that the big slide is closing. Also disappointing that the Red Pine Grill and Ice Cream was not open on Sunday OR Monday. What did we actually do? Played on the playground, went swimming, bounced on the bouncy pillow, and did some mini-golf. Good enough for a 6 and 7 year old but I don’t know for how much longer those things will keep their interest.

We have stayed at this campground for the last five years. This year it was very rundown. I don’t think that it was at KOA standards. The pool was very dirty and the pool deck needed a real good sweep, and needed the weeds pulled. The bathrooms needed to be cleaned, the waterslide was not open and did not have water in the basin. The shelves in the store where empty and food place was Closed.

Nice little cabin with hot water & good AC! However, it looks like things are winding down there a little too much for us. No arcade. No waterslide. No tubing. 3 big activities that we always looked forward to. It was some great memories but the bounce pillow is the only real draw now.

Was promised 3 campsites near each other 3 months in advance but when we arrived that was not the case. The assistant manager didn’t apologize nor offer any solution. The big water slide was closed due to disrepair. Many tent sites had more than 1 tent but I had to pay for 1 site per tent. Called to resolve issue after our stay but manager never called back, hence this bad review.

There does not seem to be the KOA pride at this location. The bathrooms were dirty and muddy, so showering was a very unpleasant experience. The grounds were all dirt, not ground cover, flowers, grass, etc. Of course, this contributes to the mud problem, but also the huge dust problem. Too many people with too many campfires, had to leave early as I was having respiratory issues.

Very disappointed. Our family campout has been with you for years and now we’ve decided to move. No slide, no tubing, no game room. In general, the park is not clean and in disrepair.
Jun 30, 2026
We found the water slide closed, arcade removed, as well as pool table/air hockey removed from the pavilion. We hope next year the new splash pad will be up replacing the water slide, as well as some other additions to replace what is no longer. Also, only one shower in the whole campground was working.

Things have changed since our stay last year. The showers by the main lodge do not work, the bathrooms are not cleaned daily (sinks/floors) the red pine was barely open and when it was the coffee was very watery and the chicken strips were cold, the water slide is no longer open (closed permanently) the arcade is gone and so are the games under the pavilion. Pool and pavilion generally dirty

The staff was very friendly and helpful! There were a lot of amenities but the pool and area were not well maintained. The sites are incredibly close together-and people did not abide by the quiet times.
Jun 30, 2026
Like that you provide a number of sleeping cabins at a reasonable price. We will be back!
Jun 30, 2026
We had an excellent time, the staff was fantastic!

No waterslide or game room. And wasn’t informed about it until I checked in
Jun 30, 2026
The employees on golf carts drive way too fast through the campground. The showers are disgusting. They were not cleaned or sanitized at all during our stay. The sites are too close to one another, and the parking is terrible. We couldn’t get pizza on Saturday, as we were told that hot food wasn’t available that day.

Was disappointed to book 2 campsites on the same booking and we were spread out and then the cabin was across the campground. Makes things difficult with kids. Spaces are tiny if you have a camper. Luckily the surrounding spaces were open when we arrived so we could back in using other sites and had to wait for the camper in front of us to leave before we could leave. Booked for location to trails

Great time but site 34 only has 50 amp on the wrong side of the site so had to share picnic area with next site the water slide was broken no access to canoe and tubing and we were not told until arrived

Clean bathrooms friendly staff. Nice sites

We came for the Musky Fest and enjoyed the KOA. I would have liked better WiFi but we weren’t there for the internet. You may have to look into cutting a few of the pine trees since several of us had a hard time with longer campers getting out of our site. I don’t like to see the big pines cut but I will have to think twice about staying here unless the sites are made wider and easier to exit

10 pm dance party is way to loud and that is too late for music while tent camping
Jun 28, 2026
Everything seemed a little less taken care of than the last time we had been there two years ago. Bathrooms were always dirty, weeds were everywhere instead of flowers, slide is closed, no arcade games. We would look at other campsites before rebooking at the KOA for the price.
Jun 27, 2026
Honestly it could have been better. The paid premium WiFi was terrible. The showers were filthy. The employees were hostile and entertaining themselves by driving around fast in carts. It was muddy: most KOAs we’ve stayed at have some kind of ground cover. The campsites are too close together compared to other KOAs, so on a busy weekend it’s not really camping; it’s just a smoky parking lot.

Very cramped spaces with no grass. Was not a great outdoor experience
Jun 25, 2026
Here is the great - Heated Pool, Bouncing Pillow, and availability of units. Here are a couple of things to consider: absolutely packed on the weekend, and the sites are very close to each other; very empty on weekdays, though some amenities are closed. The general store is not what it once was, but you can get some things.

Great place for no more than three days. Almost too many trees navigate around with larger rigs. Need more grassy areas for small dogs, too much sand.
Jun 24, 2026
We started staying at this campground several years ago. The owners back then took pride in their campground by having friendly convenient service and they maintained the grounds at the highest standards. Now it is rundown after several different owners. It is sad. We will be looking for a different campground next year.

We've been coming for 5 years. This year there was a broken waterside, no arcade, no river tubing option, and the restroom cleanliness and quality have decreased.
Jun 23, 2026
Miss tubing, miss the arcade, miss the water slides, lost a lot of fun this last weekend.
Jun 23, 2026
Really disappointed that there no longer is a water slide, arcade or tubing. The bathrooms were very dirty and unstocked with TP. The landscaping was very sad this year as the canoes usually are planted with flowers and this year it was all weeds. Unimpressed with the amount of ice cream you get for the money you pay for it at the store. Overall, it seems like they are going downhill!
Jun 23, 2026
Beautiful setting. Lots for the kids to do and a short drive to Hayward.
Jun 23, 2026
The campsites are very tight for large campers and the vehicle needed to pull them. The neighbors fire is literally outside your window. The pool gets disgusting with all the dirt, and people. Maintenance doesn't seem to happen throughout the day. Bathrooms and showers were clean and acceptable. Close to town, which was nice.

Enjoyed the stay. Kids liked the pool, jump pad, and playground area…bathrooms were meh and needed some TLC. The mini golf course was a joke and not worth $3 each to play. The small cabin was perfect for the stay and very clean, minus the very musty smell.

Great for kids. Pretty quiet considering how close the sites are together. Pool is always packed. Shower house and bathrooms pretty clean. Definitely “city camping” or glamping.
Jun 22, 2026
Our only concern is the music played from 8-10 pm. It was so loud, I couldn't think straight. Please consider playing it a little softer.
Jun 20, 2026
Place is a mud hole during and after rain. All roads and sites are in desperate need of fill and grading. Puddles (small ponds) on the roads and sites two days after rain.

Awesome people! Had problems with our RV and they helped us immensely. Very friendly and professional! Willing to help travelers in need. 10+ stars!!
Jun 19, 2026
Not the quality or sites we have come to expect from KOA. Premium site was tight and flooded when checking in. Fire pit was awkward and so deep it was hard to build a fire. Waterside advertised looked broken down and not open. I will look elsewhere when in the area in the future unfortunately.

Very friendly staff and fun activities for kids. Our cabin was very dirty unfortunately. Bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a couple stays, windowsills were dirty filled with dead bugs and it had a strange smell to it.

Group around us partied til I ended it at 445 am Sat. Morning! All the campers were packed together instead of spread out throughout the park. Sites are tiny. Nope would never recommend it!
Jun 16, 2026
We had a great time. We loved that there is so much to do for the kids. The new management team was very nice. We will be back. Thanks for giving us a great weekend.

Check in was fabulous, cabin already had the a/c on, it was super hot outside, unpacked and then sat on the porch swing... it had an enormous creek, I love a porch swing. Asked the office to send some WD40, and noone came either of my 2 day stay so i wentvto walmart and bought my own and fixd it myself. Pool area was amazing, there were lots of other activities for all ages. Bathrooms were midern and clean! Would definitely return some day.

We enjoyed our time at the KOA. The campground was very quiet, although we were on the back row and not near a lot of the activities. The bathrooms were pretty clean. The showers were hot and had good water pressure. We did rent tubes, they took us to the beginning and picked us up at the end. Being a holiday weekend it was an overall nice stay.

This is one of our favorite KOA's. They are in the works to do some upgrades with plans to put in a splash pad. You can go tubing down the river (highly recommend). There is a pool, which does tend to get a little over packed. On site pizza and ice cream which is yummy. Always clean & family friendly. Lots to do on the area.
