Campground Reviews

Jul 20, 2025
Bathrooms were filthy. Campground was below KOA standard and was not well maintained. Campsites were on top of each other, no room in between.

This KOA is clean and the staff is friendly. The location is minutes to lake access and the Kern River.

The staff were polite and friendly. The other campers were sometimes an issue but the location was fantastic.

Honestly did not have a great experience except for karaoke night! We asked 3 times if we can have a different site since the site we were given had no shade and plenty of others were available when we first arrived! They couldn’t accommodate and being that I am high risk in my pregnancy it would have been nice to have way better communication rather than being ignored! Definitely won’t go bac

We had a great stay at this KOA location. All of the staff was very helpful and friendly. The staff keeps this campground very well kept and maintained. Our kids had fun swimming in the very clean pool, the playground, volleyball court, and the RC car track. Thanks again for a great weekend!!!

I have been rving for 25 years and this KOA is one of worst I've stayed at. The pancake breakfast was terrible, the lady that was cooking was rude making sure I understood that she was closing at 9 Sharpe when she closed at 844 half of my crew didn't make it. The limit was two 4 inch pancakes, what a joke. The entire park was ran down half the equipment not working like the splash pad.

The campground was nice. However the splash pad was not open and the pancake breakfast was supposed to last until 9am, but the stopped at 8:50. And it was not because they ran out. They limited it to 2 pancakes per person.

We only stayed one night. But it was a very nice KOA, very clean and well maintained. Allison was terrific and friendly. We enjoyed a hot breakfast sandwich and biscuits and gravy in the pub on the property

Considering this is a large corporation the lake Isabella KOA is largely neglected. The kitchen area was dirty, the AC in the cabins did not work, which is something included in the rate, the bathrooms were dirty. The splash zone was not functioning and overall everything was old and run down. Some extra attention and updating would greatly improve the experience!!

Check in was great. The lady at the front desk was incredibly nice. Set up my tent and went back to the little saloon where she made me some wings and beer on tap. Again very nice and sweet. Bathroom weren’t the best. But I’m usually spoiled in my own rv. First time tent camping in a while. Lots of shade for the tent sites and made my solo motorcycle trip perfect. Will definitely come back.

This campground is similar to other KOA’s. Reliable. The only one issue I found is that walking the grounds, where the 3 small cabins are several flees jumó on me. Got bitten while getting out of the area.

Pros: lots of shade from very mature trees, very quiet campground, respectful and kind staff. Cons: facilities need updates and better upkeep. Women’s bathroom overrun with bugs, without any clean space to set things down. Both men’s and women’s bathrooms did not get refreshed very often and many stalls did not have toilet paper. For the price it is to stay at a KOA campground, you expec

It was awesome, the bathrooms and showers were clean and stocked, the staff was friendly and nice, the campground was clean. Over all a great location! (Campsites were very close together- but thats ok)

Charged a $25 early check in fee for arriving at 11:30am. I have been a KOA member for years and have stayed at many locations and never once been charged a fee for arriving early. What bothered me is this campground was not even close to being at full capacity my entire stay, not to mention, the splash pad was out of order and not working which was why I chose this campground to begin with. LAME!

Not up to usual standard for a KOA journey. I have stayed at many. Sites are level with fine silt which turns to mud when wet. WiFi onward connection was inoperative. T-Mobile LTE very weak signal. Verizon useable. I selected a backin site with electric and water intending to dum next morning. But the dump station was closed. $15 charge for using a full service pull thru!

Lake Isabella KOA was a great last minute spot we found. Needs a little facelift but otherwise very comfortable with all the amenities one can ask for.

There was a lot of drug use and an incident involving one of the workers chasing someone around with a gun and police activity.

We really enjoyed our time there. The no bathroom cabin was perfect for our family. Clean, offered shade, and working air conditioner. The weekday front desk woman was very helpful in answering all my questions and giving suggestions of places to visit and places to eat when I inquired. Pool was clean and well kept. The attached kiddy pool was perfect for my toddler.

Wonderful & excellent stay. Very Friendly, accommodating & service oriented staff, extremely clean cabins and beautifully kept grounds. Loved that the pool was very nice too!

It was mid June. I expected summer crowds but no. Our site with full hookups had no one on either side. It was level, partially shaded from a tree and very peaceful. Our site was furthest from Hwy 178 so there was no road noise. The bathrooms had working showers. The Wifi was very weak (maybe stronger closer to the office but didn’t run any tests to see.) The pool was clean and very inviting.

Enjoyed the KOA, only thing we did not enjoy was red ants popped up all over our site the 2 day there. Our site also hard hardly any shade glad we had a easy up with us.

Everything was nice but they need to update there beds. The beds are hard as a rock idk how people sleep on these things.

Everyone there was very helpful things that would be even more helpful is more accessibility to bathroom for disability The Walker rolling on gravel is very difficult for the bare Bones cabin a little more air but all in all very good for the 2 hours we stayed very friendly very clean went out of their way to assist with my client it was a really really hot day thank you again.

The people at this KOA is why I would come back. Mona was so nice, Kevin and Jeff kept the campground so clean and always willing to help. Kimberly went above and beyond for my 50th birthday group. While we were white water rafting, she helped my daughter who is about seven months pregnant. Decorate the pavilion and she painted me a picture so my friends could put their thumbprints on it.

Kimberly and staff were amazing. So helpful and kind. They beyond exceeded expectations.

It was very disappointing to be put directly next to another group of people, only to have them leave and another loud party showed up and pitched tents directly next to us. There were at least 15 other empty tent sites at the time. Ice cream social and pancake breakfast were nice.

Our AC window unit was so old it could not cool our tiny cabin, making it very uncomfortable. The staff did bring in the GIANT swamp cooler from the office which helped with the temp but it was like trying to sleep in a wind tunnel. One of the showers was out of order. The camp kitchen water was out of order. All in all I was very disappointed with this KOA and cannot recommend it.

We came with a large group that had various camping needs so the facility was perfect because of the variety of choices. Ramona check d us all in easily and quickly. She also made everything clear. The maintenance team of Jeff and Kevin did an excellent job of cleaning the facility and taking care of any concerns. Allison was always super friendly and even helped us get our party set up.

Rhonda has a spectacular team. They were all kind to us and very accommodating. Kimberly, Allison, Kevin, Pancake Chef, Pool Clearner (sorry I don't remember their names), all did special things through our stay to make it extra special. Kimberly even brought over paints our last night for the grandkids to paint more rocks. It was a great time with some of us in a cabin and some in a trailer.

Air conditioning did not work called Maintenance and Management after hours and NO answer. There was no compensation for the inconvenience. The trash cans were always full or overflowing.

This place is beautiful to camp at. We woke up right next to the mountains. Everyone respects the noise level and showers are hot. They have a shop there for most camping needs, and the lake is super close !
