We enjoyed the indoor pool and our kids enjoyed playing Gaga ball. Campground is getting worn out and needs a lot of upgrades. They should put in an outdoor pool and other modern campground amenities. Other than the bathrooms, It seems like there has been no upgrades or updates for several decades. It is a convenient location to our house, so we stay there for a quick weekend get-away.

We have a very nice stay, staff was very helpful and nice! Pool was just a touch on the cool side but we have a very good stay overall.

Our only suggestion would be if you charge for bike rental to make sure they know how hard they are to bike and have them maintained a little better. Got 2 bikes and only used one and that was very hard for even an adult to peddle.

Friendly staff and well kept campground. My only small complaint is that the deluxe cabins could use sone umbrellas at the tables for sone shade as the sites are out in the hot sun almost all day.

We have been going here every Mother’s Day for decades and it’s always been great! Current ownership really keeps the place up well and are super friendly and helpful.

Honestly, it seems like the quality of the camp has slipped. Staff was awesome however.

Campsites are very close together, thankfully neighbors were quiet and respectful. Sites and facilities were clean and maintained. One frustration I have is when I booked they were advertising buy 1 night get second free for mothers day weekend, however there is new ownership and this was not honored when I checked it. Morally the right thing to do would to honor how the reservation was booked.

We stayed at this campground last year over Mother's day weekend also. This year we were very pleased with the improvements. There is new management and they have made some very much needed improvements. The gravel roads have new gravel and are much easier to drive on and even walk on. The hay wagon ride on Saturday night was very fun. The indoor pool is always a high point for the kids.

Small sites in an industrial area by a busy highway. This should be a Journey, not a holiday. Jim was awesome to deal with we left 4 days early. Too many big truck, beeping from landscape loader and other annoying noises. Junk yard. Location not appealing and description very misleading. Convenient to nowhere.

Gravel pads but they’ve got concrete patios. Very pretty campground. Thank you.

Very helpful check in. Nice level site. Good amenities. Next time I will bring a swim suit!

Very expensive and rude staff. ESP JillAnn. Two of my neighbors there went back to their sites in tears after dealing with her.

It's spring and the ground was still wet. The roads and picnic table pads could use some additional gravel to keep the amount of mud to a minimum.

The stay was OK with the older owners… Know what the new prices no one can afford that I’m Social Security so I found a better campground for 2023

For the most part it was good. Need to clarify trick or treating to a specific time we were at a bday party and had to leave early cause kids started going around before 3PM.

Everything was well-maintained. The satellite bathroom near the kabins could use a little attention, but otherwise everything was in excellent condition. Good location; only about 30 minutes away from the city.

Awesome. Workers great. Nice pool. Fun hayride.

Another great Halloween weekend! Great turnout!

This is our 4th year staying at the Southwest KOA's Halloween weekend. We enjoy it & the facilities are nice. This 2022 weekend was a bit different with what I heard to be new ownership of the KOA. Not as many activities for the kids & just overall less excitement. The KOA staff is friendly & helpful so overall would recommend staying here as we're booked again for next year.

Always been a nice place to camp. Close to everything a person would need. Staff very pleasant, facilities clean.

The early Halloween weekend party was fun for our grandsons, and for us too. All of the staff were friendly and went above and beyond, especially because of the understaffing issues they were having. We have stayed there many times in the past and plan to again in the future.

Had a great time with our grandchildren and really enjoyed the activities over the Halloween celebration weekend. Staff was super friendly and helpful and environment was great!

Quiet and comfortable!

If you want a quick camping getaway with kids, this is the perfect place! I love that it's close to home. The amenities are nice. Bathrooms are clean. Showers are hot. Lots to do with the kids. Love the halloween theme, kids dressing up in costumes, hayrides and halloween decorations. Outside of the frigid weather on Friday night, I have no complaints. Thanks.

We have stayed here for the last 6 years in August and September and love it. It is quiet and well maintained (although a bit old fashioned). The staff are friendly, helpful and very responsive. As usual we are coming back next year.

Our site was roomy and nice, with a flat, grassy area for our tent and a picnic table. The employees we met were very friendly and helpful, and the facilities were all clean and nice. The restrooms were clean with many stalls; the showers were roomy and had good pressure and hot water. Even though it looked like the camp was just about completely booked up, we had plenty of space and privacy.

Stayed in one of their cabins for two nights in September while visiting family in the Twin Cities. It's located quite a ways outside the metro area, in a locale with businesses and a four lane highway not far away. The KOA property is okay, with trees. The proprietress was very accommodating and cordial. Our cabin was clean and well maintained. The restroom and showers facilities, and the laundry room, were also clean and well maintained. It took about a minute to walk to the restroom/shower/laundry facilities from our cabin. Most of the time, the wifi was very slow, but one morning at 6:30 it was pretty fast (perhaps someone had been streaming videos previously?)
