    met all my expectations

    Nice quiet night for me. This is very convenient and easy to find. The staff was spectacular and extremely helpful.
    Sep 10, 2018
    The tent area was far separated from the RVs and the main office, but not so remote. As a result there wasn't any stray headlights or other illumination that might have made sleeping difficult. I had a very good time at Kennebec.

    A wonderful stay - Thanks!!!

    Just stayed for one night while traveling through the town. KOA campgrounds are always so very clean.
    Sep 04, 2018
    Aside from the mosquitoes, it was very enjoyable.
    Sep 02, 2018
    The people were very nice and helpful. The store/office had very limited hours and the grounds, while well maintained, were a bit aged. It's not quite as nice as other KOA campgrounds I've stayed at but still very good.

    Some help was gone. No chuck wagon like advertised.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    We publish that the chuck wagon is open until mid-August. This year it was closed on the 14th of August due to our staff leaving us and returning to school. I am sorry you missed out but we absolutely did what we advertised and kept it open until mid-August.

    Stayed many times! Very nice people and a nice camping area!
    Aug 12, 2018
    Great
    Aug 12, 2018
    Great people to deal with. Showers and bathroom were clean. Enjoyed the pool. Only downside were the mosquitoes!!

    Very friendly folks, good tent spot.
    Aug 01, 2018
    Clean restrooms friendly staff. Good halfway stop in the state
    Jul 23, 2018
    Van was not running properly and stayed at the Koa for awhile while we figured out our plans. Very nice people and place. Thank you
    Jul 19, 2018
    Nice facility. Good. Clean bathrooms, warm shower. Site was nice with trees and listening to the river at night was awesome, would stay again!
    Jul 09, 2018
    It was a very pleasant experience. The tent sites were ideal and were quite spacious. Staff was pleasant and friendly. It was an overall quality camping experience for me.
    Jul 03, 2018
    Quiet and pleasant small park
    Jun 25, 2018
    Arrived late, right at closing time and host graciously did the paperwork and we were able to buy firewood. Large tent sights, quiet for having the road nearby. Set up, had a fire, cooked supper and relaxed. Very clean. Would stay again.
    Jun 14, 2018
    Check in was easy after hours. Bathrooms were clean. A bit of a noisy area but not loud from the interstate.
    Jun 03, 2018
    Very friendly managers!! The campsite we were given was very windy, they let us move to a new site to set up our tent. The only bad thing about our stay was the park had sharp plants throughout the gravel. All three of my kids had a thorn in their feet through their sandals.

    CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

    Thorny plants are a part of the natural flora of our area. We are aware of them and we do spray for a wide variety of noxious plants. Unfortunately this has been a very wet year and that has rendered our spraying efforts less effective than we would like. We continue to do battle with the stickers and pray for more conducive weather.

    Very clean
    Oct 15, 2017
    The guy who checked me in was really nice. The location had a lot of space. My only complaint was that there are hard, painful stickers all over the grass. My little dog had one stuck in his foot and I had them in my shoes. Not the KOA's fault--can't control the plants! Just make sure your kiddos don't run around barefoot. Otherwise, it was nice and quiet!

    Very nice hosts, clean quiet campground. Would stay here again if passing through.
    Aug 27, 2017
    siting plan a little close to industrial towers and interstate. washrooms need work, updating, repairing. Tent area near creek, lots of mosquitos.
    Aug 25, 2017
    Nice hosts/owners, onsite convince store. Bathroom was clean. Layout made it comfortable for us tent users to share with the RVs and the site was relatively quiet.
    Aug 24, 2017
    The lady at the front desk was great. It was quiet the day we stayed there which was a nice change for my family. My only issue with this location was that the entire place needs updating. The staff is taking excellent care of everything, but it looks like it hasn't been updated since it was built and things are starting to wear out. If it was renovated I would give it 5 stars in a heart beat!
    Aug 23, 2017
    Loved the billboards
    Aug 22, 2017
    Stayed there before, nice people, but campground is just ok, not great!

    Clean, quiet. Staff very friendly and helpful. The chuck wagon had some good chow.
    Jul 22, 2017
    Easy to find late at night, clean and friendly place to stay for a nights sleep on the way home.
    Jul 21, 2017
    In by 9 pm out at 6 am. Perfect low cost for short stay. Poor WiFi only signal sitting in laundry. Store/office smelled funny.
    Jul 07, 2017
    This was a very clean and pretty campground. There were not a lot of people, which was nice. We had a huge grass area for our tents. The playground was close by. The bathrooms were clean. The food that Teri cooked was good. We had a very nice time here.
    Jul 04, 2017
    The staff was friendly, however, the facility is quite run down.
    Jul 03, 2017
    Such lovely people, gave great advice about the surrounding area. Nice campsites, clean and quiet. Would stay again!
    Jun 26, 2017
    This was the perfect stop for our road trip across the country (from PA to MT). I always enjoy KOAs because of their safe feeling, cleanliness, and friendly staff... and this had all 3 of those traits as well! Very nice owners.
    Jun 18, 2017
    Excellent KOA super clean. Love that they offer food. We had cheeseburgers very good
    May 30, 2017
    Friendly owners, clean bathrooms, nice campsite!
    May 16, 2017
    some utilities still closed from winter. Nice place stayed there twice now..
    Oct 17, 2016
    First time to stay at a KOA. The reservation process was very easy & user-friendly.
    Sep 28, 2016
    This was perhaps the nicest KOA we've ever stayed at. The tent site was nice & grassy, great staff & facilities, individal gazabos, flowers, ...very nice place.

    my favorite of the three koas I stayed at. If not for the burning ban it would have been perfect.
    Sep 12, 2016
    Loved this campground. Everything was clean and I liked how there was a radio in the bathroom -- made having to go in the middle of the night less scary! Very quiet and peaceful.
    Sep 06, 2016
    nice campsite- trees!!!!
    Aug 12, 2016
    This KOA is very nice and clean. Lovely grass for tenters; great access from I-90. I would recommend that campers stock up on food before arriving, unless you plan to buy food from the chuck wagon, as the local market closes early.
