I feel like I hit the jackpot! I decided to attend Family Weekend at the last minute to see my daughter and everyone made fun of me that I wasn't going to be able to get a hotel room. I didn't need a hotel room, I stayed at the KOA for a very beyond fair price! I reserved a spot with electric, water, and a little light. Geez! The place is super close to campus, quiet, clean and very accommodating!

The koa is fairly nice but trains run all night long making it almost impossible to sleep. I do not recommend it because of that.

We appreciate your feedback. We do offer ear plugs at check in and they are also available in the yellow box in front of the store. We hope you had a safe journey throughout the rest of your traveling experience.

Conveintly called before I got there that I will be late. Very nice. I did not show up at 8 am to the office. But they did the transaction. Nice area to have a camp.

The West Lawrence KOA was a very nice facility that seemed well kept as you would expect. The reason they don’t get 5 stars has nothing to do with things they can control. During my stay there was constant train noise all through the night. Train horns sounded no less than 5 times between 10pm and 6am. I understand KOA has no control over the trains but I won’t stay here again as a result.

WAY too noisy. Nice accommodation, but the trains and highway traffic were terrible day and night. The tiny note about train enthusiasts liking the occasional train was very misleading and understated to the point of dishonest.

We had an electric camp site and the site was fine. We had plenty of space for our 18'x10' tent. While the pool wasn't available the night we stayed (recent rains messed with the pool pH), the playgrounds were great for the kids to use up some energy. The restrooms/showers were very nice, modern, and clean. We would camp here again if in the KC area.

Staff were very friendly and the location was very well kept. Highly recommend accepting the complimentary ear plugs as there is a train that runs nearby.

We came in very late and we’re planning on 10 Camping, but due to the storms, we ended up sleeping in a car. The only thing I would say is nothing was offered even via email to upgrade to a cabin or anything just because of knowing that the storms were coming in. I have stayed at this campground before and like the location and it’s cleanliness.

It was great when we got there. I have electricity. I had to unplug and grab dinner. When I came back, I had no electricity. It would have been nice to have some lighting in the tent area since it was close to the wooded river area. It didn't make me feel safe.

We reserved a sand-base electricity tent site. There was no sand.

The only complaint is that our camp site was on a slope (uneven). The bathrooms were clean. The water pressure was great, and the water temperature was nice when showering.

The park was turning tent sites into back in sites. Work was not completed. Paid for a back in space ended up on a grass site. Unfortunately no shade either.

Trains and whistles every 2 hours. Noise and light problems in tent camping area. That with only a couple of tents up. Nothing directing campers to the office at night for late check in. ( Maintenance area is where Google maps takes you). Camping spot itself was nice. Had water and electric as requested. A bit muddy, was supposed to be sand. Looked like electric was added. Bare ground there.

only complaint was the tent site was marketed as being sand but there aren't any sand sites.

We stayed at this KOA recently and were very disappointed with the site we were assigned. It was an electric tent site, but the ground was so uneven and angled that we couldn’t level our camper at all—even a tent would have been difficult to set up properly. It’s surprising that this site is still in use given how unlevel it is. Unfortunately, it made for a very uncomfortable and miserable n

The hospitality at this location is amazing! It was a very hot weekday. After I set up camp I went back to the office to make a purchase and one of the gentlemen offered me a ride back to my site on the golf cart saying it’s to hot to be out and about. I greatly enjoyed my stay!

Clean restrooms and grounds. Appreciated the pool with shaded tables when we were there during a heat wave. Quiet when we were there. A nice camp store.

I felt safe, the staff was awesome! Very peaceful time. I unfortunately experienced vertigo and had to cut my trip short. Thanks to Jennifer, Erica, and Susan. The tall guy was kind also. The bathroom/shower house was pristine! I'd refer others for sure. Thanks for the hospitality! 5 stars period!

We camped for the night as we were passing through on our trip. Registering/checking in at the office was easy. Chilly night with a low of 28 degrees. Would have been more comfortable in a cabin.

It was wonderful

Very friendly staff. Bathrooms were always very clean and the water was hot. :) VERY GRATEFUL for the dog park. The store could be vastly improved by providing basic grocery necessities like milk, tea, coffee, eggs, bread, etc. Campground was quiet, free earplugs were thoughtful; trains did not bother us at all. We come to Lawrence often and I'm sure we will stay here again.

Unfortunately as the season starts to wind down, we end up throwing more groceries away than we sell. We do carry all of the basics as mentioned during the season. We hope to see you then.

Its a good campground, the showers could be warmer and the sites are a little close together. But not bad. I really don't get the noise complaints the trains are not loud the highway is constant but not bad. Just adjust your hearing aids.

We really enjoyed this RV park! The staff was so friendly! The grounds were very clean and pretty and we enjoyed a nice walk after a long days drive. We REALLY enjoyed the super fast WiFi that allowed us to stream a movie, something so rare at RV parks! By far the BEST KOA we've ever been to. Other reviews mentioned the train noise, but we were informed of it right upon check in and offered ear plugs (which we declined), but it wasn't even that loud and with our fans and AC, we never even heard it overnight. We have added this KOA to our list of RV parks to return to when we travel across country!
