The cabin was wonderful! It was in a great location, very clean, and well stocked. I didn’t get a chance to use anything else at the campground, but it looked like it was in good working order. I would definitely stay there again!

We loved our stay! The proximity to Needles Highway was our main reason for booking. Staff were helpful and friendly. The cabins were close to the bathhouse. The bathrooms and showers were in great condition.

Beautiful and fantastic location. Extremely welcoming and knowledgeable staff throughout the camp. Lots nearby to see and do and lots to do in camp. Everything appeared new and immaculate. The addition of a food truck was a boon.

The queen “mattress” in cabin J was a shame! Ripped, duct taped, and offered no support. We didn’t sleep. Other than the mattress it is a great campground. Very scenic and clean - hot showers - and a food truck!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for the honest feedback. We’re so sorry about the condition of the mattress in Cabin J and understand how uncomfortable that must have been. New mattresses have been ordered for our cabins, but they haven’t arrived yet. We’re glad you still enjoyed the scenery, cleanliness, and ameni

I really enjoyed my stay! Such friendly hosts and my cabin had what I needed! One recommendation would be to have some healthier choices on the food truck menu. Thanks again! I plan on bringing a few friends next time!

It was a pleasant experience! The only issue I got was the Internet connection, as a freelancer I had to be connected all the time, when I booked they told me I will have connection but on Cabin J there were no internet connection

We are happy that you enjoyed your stay. Due to us being in the National Forest and having to use satellite depending on weather we do not always get the best signal. The new owner has been doing extensive upgrades on the wifi and we are still trying to make it a great experience.

What a beautiful campground! The staff was very very helpful and nice. Their knowledge of the area was extremely helpful to us.

The bed seemed very rickty. Whenever the person in the top bunk would turn over the whole bed would move. Perhaps an L bracket securing the bed to the wall would be helpful.

Really calm peaceful stay, the only downside I can think of is that the cabin we stayed in (S) had a slightly loose front door so cold air did leak in during the night and made mornings pretty chilly. Really cozy little cabin all things considered.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay and we are sorry for the inconvenience that this caused you. Thank you for letting us know and I will send someone up to look at it.

This was a great KOA. The campground was beautiful, and the bathrooms were clean. The people running everything were so nice and helpful. They knew we wanted to do some laundry but the washers and dryers were being used. They came to our cabin to let us know that one of the washers would be open in 10 minutes. That was so nice. Just good people.

I cant say enough good things in 400 characters. I am so incredibly happy with my stay here. The cabin was perfect and clean, and our campground was open with a gorgeous view. The family that worked there were the nicest people who were noticeably taking care of their park. The view from the recommendations were incredible but the look out point from the campground is a dream come true! Thank you!

This campground is tucked off the not too busy highway- with trees and some black hills. We stayed in a camping cabin- which was immaculately clean and had a nice porch and swing and picnic table and fire pit. It was so comfortable. And the location is serene but also near everything. The hosts were great guides to the area as well as super nice and super helpful. It was a wonderful experience.

Stay was good, just like the previous 8 years we have been going there. Huge complaint, please put an AC unit in every cabin. We were in cabin S and since it was 90 degrees out it was miserable in there until about 2:00 AM Also, if there are 15 kids on the jumping pad at 8:00 when it finally cooled down, please let them jump instead of unplugging it because it’s 8:00, they were having a great t

My only complains was that the ladiesbathroom and shower were not clean when I went into it at 7:00 in the morning. Recommend cleaning both at the end of the day before families get up and start using for the day. The gentleman that drove around on the golf cart to take folks to their camping spots was extremely friendly and helpful! Checkin was easy and the lady was very friendly.
