Of the dozen or so campgrounds we have stayed in since owning our RV, I can say that the hosts here are the most accomodating we have encountered. Very friendly, and will go out of their way to please... 9/6/2023

The host at this KOA are great, very helpful and friendly. The kampgrounds are very nicely wooded and private. It is a good stop off of the highway in your journeys. 9/18/2023

We were there just one night. It is the cleanest, most well cared for KOA we have been to, and we have been to a lot of them. Despite being in the hills, the sites were level, shaded and easy to access. 9/16/2023

Found you guys last minute on our way back from Florida to Iowa. Enjoyed the clean showers/bathrooms after a long 9 hours in the car! Thanks 9/15/2023

Very personable and very helpful manager If I ever get back in the area, that will be the place I would stop 9/14/2023

The attendant on duty was extra nice and so helpful - great guy! 9/14/2023

Nice KOA, well-maintained, but NOT great for big rigs! We have a 45' fifth wheel and were given one of the longer sites but still couldn't stay hooked up for our overnight stay or park our truck on the site... 9/13/2023

Hidden gem, "private" sites due to topography with rolling hills, mature trees and some sites higher than others. Clean laundry and restrooms, sparkling pool with lounge chairs and tables, gazebo, enclosed dog park, small playground, fire pits, trash cans at each site. Kind... 9/12/2023

You can tell they take pride in their Campground. It seems more of an overnight stay versus a weekend or week stay. We would stay again. 9/12/2023

Staff very pleasant and accommodating. nice grounds. clean restrooms. 9/12/2023

tent camper - just stayed one night. It was very quiet and clean with great service - we are keeping it on our radar to stay again. 9/11/2023

Very clean, nice shade, pretty pond, the road noise can be annoying when sitting outside. Nice grass area for tent folks. Nothing close so need a way to travel to the local attractions. 9/10/2023

The one thing I did not like about this KOA is only one bathroom and it did not have a secure bathroom door. My husband had to wait outside while I took a shower that evening around 8:30 pm... 9/10/2023

Nice little campground. Drive thru sites with plenty of space. Far enough of the road where it is quiet. The owners are on site and working with a great, friendly staff. Easy access off I-24, with a good Mexican restaurant across the street. Grounds are kept nice... 9/9/2023

We stayed in deluxe patio site which was very nice . Staff was very helpful and nice. Would stay again. 9/8/2023

Excellent KOA. Nice setting. Lots of shade in lower section. 9/7/2023
