Campground Reviews

We have been coming to this KOA for 25 years. We were disappointed this time with the cleanliness of the Cabin. We walked in and it smelt like a dead animal. Opened the windows and they were full of dead bugs. The floor felt like it was going to cave in by the door. Clock, no batteries. AC cover kept falling off, not used. Cabins aren't cheap, have always had cleaner cabins in the past.

This is a wonderful place to stay and enjoy all the activities and the beautiful scenery! The staff is friendly, helpful and welcoming! We are going to go back and we live in California.

Memorial Day weekend and they were not fully open and short staffed but was still charged in season prices. Kids couldn’t use the water slide. Pool is kind of gross and dirty Beautiful views and friendly staff. Campsites are tucked in a little too tight. We couldn’t use our fire pit as it was about 3-4 feet from our neighbors slide out.

I was so impressed with the campground. It's hard to even call it a campground. It felt more like it was a resort. The amenities were fantastic. The staff was awesome and the location of course was just beyond. Absolutely loved it

The horse staff was great. Laundry super awesome but the sign for the amount per load not super visible and therefore I was short when I chose a wash that cost more. I wish someone would bring wood around and offer it for sale not just at the front. Also the showers could use more mops to clean up the floors and maybe an attendant every two hours to check those. Loved my stay. Lenny was great

Overall a great stay! Great facilities, great location and great views! Only downside is the spots are too close together and when mentioning on our reservation that we were 36ft and towing I would have thought we would have gotten a larger pad. This will not deter us from staying again we will just ask for a spot that better accommodates us. Thank you for everything!

Amazing for grade school aged kids. So much for them To do. Peaceful you are not. Just know what you’re getting into. Not stop cars, atv’s, campers, golf carts, bikes. All That is great until it’s not!

Overall the stay was amazing. We enjoyed the pancake breakfast, we absolutely loved our campsite in the 400s. We loved staying in the trees. We did have some water issues the last night we were there. There was no pressure and our water was brown with a filter. But overall we had such a great time and will be back in the future.

had car trouble and had to switch from a tent site to a cabin and they wouldn't refund our deposit for the tent site. We also stayed at the devils tower koa and switched from a tent site to a cabin and they refunded our deposit on the tent site unlike the koa at palmers gulch which didn't refund our deposit for the tent ,so we will not be staying at the palmers gulch koa. we will find another koa

Bathrooms were very very dirty. I do not think they were cleaned all weekend. We were in a camping cabin which was pleasant but it was very dirty as well.

We camped in a 38 ft class A motorhome pulling a car trailer. Our site was perfect with plenty of room. The park was beautiful and kept up very well. The staff were all very nice and accommodating

Beautiful campground, convenient location. We rented a deluxe cabin & had 4 people for 4 days. Only a couple of complaints-we did not have potable water in our cabin. It was early in the season & the lines needed to be flushed. But nevertheless we shouldn't have to buy water to drink & to brush teeth. The other complaint is the office needs to be open longer hours.

We were at the park before all the amenities were fully open, but that was no issue. The park is so beautiful and well maintained. There are so many staff who are constantly active throughout maintaining, guiding and helping. Always with a smile. Must single out one guide who made our stay even better. Lenny is very personable and gave us great suggestions and help. Really enjoyed meeting him.

This campground was beautiful and in the middle of all your desired tourist sites. The staff was amazing and so friendly. I can’t say enough good thing about this place, they have everything to keep your family busy. If we ever get to come back to this area this will be where we go. Thank you to all the wonderful staff that made our trip so enjoyable.

Very friendly staff, right there to help with whatever needs.

Beautiful place! My family and I really enjoyed ourselves! However it would’ve been beneficial to put on the website or app that your amenities aren’t open (hot tub, bounce, etc.) I understand it goes by weather but we thought our kid would get to enjoy these things but they were all closed. Besides that we still had a great time. Workers were wonderful!

We really enjoyed the deluxe cabin and all of its amenities.

Matress in camping cabin needs to be replaced, the mattress has certainly extended its lifespan. The cabin was not well maintained- it was dirty on arrival - and clear the cleaning crew do not clean under the mattresses. Better training for staff- anytime we asked a question none of the staff knew the answer ( said they were new). Water from spicket was awful- you could see the particles.

There are two things that we would urge you to consider: the laundry facilities are inadequate based on the number of units you have. There was one washer out of commission and one dryer would not heat (not detected until our money was already put in). Open your fun facilities a week or two ahead of Memorial Day for us early birds wanting to beat the crowds.

A great family stay! We loved our cabin - clean, comfortable, and perfect with kids. So many activities, food options, and amenities that we spent a lot of time enjoying the resort. Also a great location to access so many other attractions in the area.
