I arrived at 145 pm to check in and was told I couldn’t check in until 2pm. That’s 15 minutes….. the spot was empty….. ????? WTF

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Hey campers! An empty site is part of our ability to check folks in. Our little team has 120 minutes every day to do the things we can't do while checking in guests or helping them get on their way in the morning. Tidying up, doing projects, grading roads, and projects fit into this short window. :)

Very clean and well run!

Tidy is our middle name! Well..technically it's "Toomsuba", but who is counting!? ;)

Meridian East/Toomsuba KOA has become my 2nd favorite KOA of all time! We have stayed here several times over the last couple of years and every time it’s a very quiet, pleasant and friendly experience, especially Charlie.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Shouts out to Charlie for giving out free smiles every morning! We kep aiming to be the best KOA, but the folks up in Glacier are a hard bunch to best! ;)

A hidden gem.

It was wonderful to get the chance to host y'all! All the best for a safe trip back to the Old Dominion!!

We love this place. The staff is friendly and efficient, the grounds are immaculate. It's a beautiful, quiet campground convenient to the interstate.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We're glad you had an AWESOME stay with us! Clean, quiet, and friendly are our goals every day. :) Safe travels!!

The owners were awesome! We had problems with our slide not coming in, so we were unable to leave. The owner worked with us every day, so we always knew we had a site! Very friendly and beautiful park

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Y'all were the first folks we were glad to see leave! ;) We're glad we were able to help in any way we could to get y'all back on the road and onto your next Journey (little KOA pun!). May your slides, jacks, and awnings always retract each morning on trip days. Safe travels!!

Nice clean and well kept campground. Nice pool and play area for Kids, my grandkids loved it. Quiet and easy on and off highway. Our visit was to see our grandkids and son and daughter. Nice area and close to meridian if you need to shop.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We don't often get kids rolling through Meridian East / Toomsuba. It was WONDERFUL to catch a few glimpses of families enjoying time at the playground! :)

Overnight stay, beautiful campground.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We call that the Meridian East special! We’d love to host folks for more than a night to be able to show off all the cool stuff Mississippi’s Pines has to offer. But…we’re more than willing to be an easy stop for folks heading out on their adventures!

Freindly and helpfull staff, clean, quiet and nice atmosphere.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Chill vibes are what we do around here! :)

Beautifully kept, quiet Campground and great customer service!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We're glad you had a great night with us! Lookoing forward to seeing y'all roll back in next trip!!

Our site was accessible and level. No issues keeping towed attached. (Together about 65'). The manager at the camp was really friendly and very helpful. NOTE: On the approach to enter off the main road STAY ON THE PAVED ROAD. It is a little sharper turn to the right. We would stay there again, if we were in the area!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Totally on the mark with staying on the paved road at the intersection of KOA Campground Road and Will Garrett Road. SUPER hard to navigate the dirt road in anything bigger than a Jeep! :) Safe travels out there!!

Friendly staff. It was a great overnight stop for us.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We'd love to have you stay with us for a few days! Mississippi's Pines region has so much to explore, and Meridian East is an easy jumping-off point for all kinds of cool experiences. Or just relax under our pines. :)
Oct 24, 2026
Been going there for 10 years. The new owners sure have improved the quality of this campground.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We LOVE knocking out projects around the campground! Our team is the behind-the-scenes magic that keeps the campground sparkling every day. :)
Oct 23, 2026
The campground is very clean and well maintained. The staff is super friendly and helpful.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Cabel here. I can't brag enough about Meridian East's little team! While we are FAR from being the biggest or newest KOA, our team firmly believes we can be the best campground around. :)

Everyone was awesome amd the campground was immaculate!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Two things make for a tidy campground. Our AWESOME guests who believe in the principle of leaving no trace are the big part. The other part is gravity. It makes it easy to find the little bits that escape from our guests' watchful eyes! :)
Oct 23, 2026
The the Meridian East / Toomsuba KOA are well kept, clean and accessible, and the staff are polite and professional. I couldn't have asked for a better site to stay for the evening.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

You stayed in our favorite spot at the campground! Which site? We'll never tell! ;)
Oct 21, 2026
Beautiful property. I loved the string lights and the host was nice and hospitable. I highly recommend this location

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

No one on the team loves heights..the install spectacle was something to behold!! We grin a little each time someone mentions the lighting, knowing our time shaking on ladders was worth it!
Oct 21, 2026
We visit twice a year, heading South for the winter and North for the summer. The continuous improvements in the park are amazing: the owner is doing a marvelous job. This park has seen huge improvements over the 10 years to the sites and infrastructure. AND, there are new amenities that I would not have expected: fenced private dog parks by some sites. The park common areas are welcoming.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We really, really appreciate the feedback! You were one of our very first check-ins when we started rebuilding Meridian East last year. :) A year and a half in, we're finally at the point where we can walk the campground and be proud. Shout-outs to Mr. Chris and Ms. Kathy for keeping it sparkling!!
Oct 20, 2026
This is my go to overnight spot … always clean and quiet. Staff is always friendly.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Returning guests warm our hearts! While first-time guests to the campground rely on the KOA name, returning folks rely on great experiences with us under the Loblolly Pines! :) Safe travels, and we'll see you on your next visit!

Level site, we arrived just before dark. Easy check in. We received a phone call to zone in on our needs. Top shelf customer service!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We firmly believe we are not in the customer service business. :) As outdoor hospitality folks, we welcome guests into our backyard the same way we'd want to be welcomed when we load up the camper and hit the road. We are proud to host our guests in a tidy campground with plenty to do (or not do!).

Lots of upgrades since our last visit. Great, friendly staff. Very clean park.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We CAN'T wait to show off our next idea. Hint: it'll take more than a little time on the tractor. :)
Oct 19, 2026
Very friendly staff! Clean and safe campground.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

It was great getting to know y'all at check-in! Safe trip back to the Lone Star State!!!
Oct 18, 2026
Great spot and the owner was great!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Marie (Head of Campground Shenanigans) here. I jump in when Cabel gets feedback. He is AWESOME! We are lucky to have him come up with the next big campground project over and over, keep the place tidy, and keep the campground atmosphere light. Cool enough that I married him! Keep having safe miles!!
Oct 18, 2026
We were arriving late so we really didn’t know what to expect. What a nice surprise to pull into a well lit beautiful campground!! We loved it!!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We always recommend the Rule of 3's..but usually don't follow them ourselves! :) We know that sometimes you just need to get miles behind you, have limited days off, or had a surprise on the road. Our super-easy night registration process combines what we've seen on our trips plus chill lighting. :)
Oct 16, 2026
Staff was very helpful and courteous .

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Cabel here (the dude who checked you in & the owner). My little team ROCKS! Shouts out to Mr. Chris and Ms. Kathy for rocking at what they do. We couldn't do it without them!!
Oct 16, 2026
Wonderful staff, great atmosphere, lots of new investment raising the bar.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We really appreciate this feedback! We LOVE taking our "field trips" to other KOAs to see the latest and greatest cool ideas. Add that to our travels over the years as campers and we get to squish all the things we love as compers into our little campground under the pines. Safe travels!!
Oct 15, 2026
So much TLC - loved the lights at night, the flower boxes, the well kept grounds. This is one of the best KOA’s we have ever visited. Thanks for all of your attention to detail. We will be back

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We truly appreciate these kind words from the Lone Star State! We couldn't have an awesome campground without our AWESOME guests! Folks who respect each other and leave no trace for the next camper give us the time and focus to make the campground sparkle. :) Safe travels!!
Oct 15, 2026
The host was rude, not friendly at all, the sites are very tight. Close to the road which is very noisy. WiFi was horrible. Overall not a good experience we won't be back.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Odd review. The only guest note we have on this reservation was a mundane check-in. We reviewed the Wi-Fi logs and found nothing unusual during this stay. Pretty friendly folks over here. Wrong campground?
Oct 15, 2026
Great place to stay if you’re traveling with any type of camper. They staff is great and will go above and beyond for you.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

It was WONDERFUL having y'all join the Meridian East family for a stay that felt too short. :) We LOVED the chance to host y'all and hope for all the best in your travels!!
Oct 15, 2026
Everything was great . Only concern was right before we turned in a 18 wheeler can flying over hill and almost hit us. They do drive very fast for a back road.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Glad to have hosted y'all!! We're working with our Board of Supervisors to make the road a bit more friendly. More to follow! :)
Oct 13, 2026
The only complaint i have is their check in is at 2; most are at 1. Has quite a few rules - sounds strict too � unlike others. Pool looked nice, outside of some leaves (you are in the woods) but still got satellite service. Nice dog park if you use it. While you are there, search for the post that has an owl carved on it �. Clue. It's at one of the sites �! The owner also has cute welco

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We haven't found the phantom KOA that allows ripping tires through grass, 24/7 dog barking, or loud music at night. We keep hearing, "The other KOA lets us do it." We know it's not here. We firmly believe each of our guests deserves a peaceful evening under the pines after a long day on the road. :)
Oct 13, 2026
Flawless extremely well kept and the friendliest person Cable

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

You got us blushing over here! Thank you for these kind words. We welcome about a dozen guests every day, and we LOVE getting feedback that we are hitting the mark! Safe travels out there!!
Oct 12, 2026
Friendly staff, clean grounds.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Cabel here. The little team here at Meridian East is AWESOME!! This cozy campground under the pines wouldn't be what it is without Mr. Chris and Ms. Kathy's rockstar work! I'm so glad to have them in Yellow, and I appreciate their dedication to a great guest experience. Woo!
Oct 12, 2026
We only stayed one night but it was such a cozy & clean campground. The owner/manager was so nice. Would go back!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We relish every chance we get to host AWESOME campers! We're super fortunate to have the responsibility of keeping these twenty acres sparkling and ready for our daily flow of guests. HUGE thanks to each of our campers who let us escape corporate life!!
Oct 11, 2026
We stayed here twice on a trip up and back from Texas to Georgia. Cabel was absolutely amazing. The park is clean, and they are adding upgrades. We would definitely stay here again. Convenient location to I20.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Marie, Head of Campground Shenanigans, here! I jump in on the replies mentioning our Chief Fun Officer. :) We're incredibly proud of Cabel's work transforming Meridian East into the type of place we like to camp!! We're glad our family got another chance to host part of your trip. Be safe out there!

We stopped for an overnight stay in our 5th wheel on our way back home. Campground was nicely kept had a ton of amenities and easy access to and from the interstate.
Oct 10, 2026
Was a beautiful place with a lot of amenities including free air compressor. That was a really nice touch. The whole park was in great shape, nice lighting at night. Staff VERY friendly. I booked to stay here on my way home from a trip after we stayed here on our way to Tennessee from Texas.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

While only available to a small portion of our guests due to its size and lack of a sewer connection, Site 19 is our favorite! :) We're glad y'all enjoyed it and the activities around the campground. See you on your next trip from the Lone Star State!
Oct 10, 2026
Due to the hurricane approaching we called to cstay a day earlier than planned. We were accommodated and given a wonderful site for the night! We were warmly greeted in after a very long travel day. Although we didn’t get a chance to utilize the whole campground we enjoyed a quiet evening in a wonderful spot. Site 49 is the beat! Thank you for having us in so we could get home to Florida safely!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We LOVE every chance we get to solve problems for our guests! From handling schedule changes to tracking down a repair tech to offering dinner ideas, we believe our role is to ensure the only thing you need to worry about is the next set of miles on your trip!

Great staff. Clean well managed campground.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Shhh. Don’t tell anyone. We are campers. We’ve been a few places (check out Noelle’s Junior Ranger wall in the office). 100’s of campgrounds in our journeys. We know what campers need. We took all those experiences and baked them into our campground. Clean, functional, smooth. Three g

Boo!!! On your Hurricane policy calling a forecast hurricane “Weather discomfort". A hurricane is a lot more severe than rain or cold which is understandable because those don’t trigger official emergency/extenuating circumstance policies, meaning no refunds, even if the trip is ruined. But a hurricane???? Very poor policy KOA!!! KOA and Meridian Toomsuba should feel ashamed!!!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Uh.. this reservation was on the 1st. It's the 9th and landfall hasn't happened yet. So.. we're not sure how this cancellation was related to a hurricane? Oh well..
