Campground Reviews

We always enjoy staying here with family or just Dean and I. We noticed that the Cafe no longer serves breakfast. Only lunch and dinner. We always enjoyed having breakfast. Especially day we are leaving campground.

Very disappointed, choose to stay here due to all the amenities only to find out they closed everything. You should really keep things open especially on a holiday weekend when you charge a premium for the stay. Campground looked great and sites nice, just disappointed in the experience.

Overcrowded - small campsites - expensive activities Beautiful landscape - close to adventures - friendly staff

Beautiful campground with amazing and friendly staff! We will definitely be coming back!

I would give this zero stars if possible. Amenities that should have been open were not (water slide, hot tub, etc), which was the only reason we stayed there. So many golf carts speeding around, driving insanely. So crowded, absolutely awful.

Our stay was everything we hoped it would be! Our children had a blast!

Unexpectedly incredible. I had no idea places like these even existed until we wanted to stop at a tent site on a whim. We will definitely seek out more KOA experiences in the future. The only bummer was that the horse stables were only open until Labor Day.

Big! There was something for everyone. (on a personal note...we were having trouble with our RV fuses...and within minutes, a KOA employee was at our site, helping to solve the problem. Thank you, Irv!)

A great stay as usual. Ay least 4 years in a row

Cabin was dirty and beds were very hard. The bathrooms by the pool were disgusting. I expected more for the kind of money we paid for the resort. Cleanliness was not a priority for staff and it showed.

Great location and beautiful campground. Was a little disappointed when my son’s phone was stolen from the basketball court and the staff really didn’t seem to care. We searched and searched and asked repeatedly. It was showing as in the fun zone on tracking but they claimed not to have it. WiFi is terrible throughout the campground so that really didn’t help the situation.

Was my 1st time at this KOA. LOVED it. Will be making this a yearly trip on Labor Day weekend!!!

The only complaint I have is super low water pressure at the camp sites at certain times ( I'm sure when a lot of people are showering in their campers). Other than that super friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful grounds ( love all the flowers) and activities for younger kids. Perhaps adding some activities for older kids ( high school) such as a zip line, etc. Overall great stay!

My son's favorite place to camp.

The hot tub was filthy. On the last day they were open for the season, they drained the hot tub and refilled it, so it couldn’t be used. Big disappointment. Eggs at breakfast were awful. Also, workers leaning over the credit card machine to watch what you tip is poor practice .

Beautiful resort with an amazing view! It had everything we needed to keep our family entertained/ was quiet enough to get some relaxing family time in! Every staff member we came in contact with was very nice and the facilities were very well maintained!

Great location! Beautiful. Clean and well maintained property with plenty of fun things to do.

I would have rated this higher but when I went to use the hot tubs at the lower pool, they were both green and nasty looking. One was closed but the other should have been too, needed cleaned. Have a 38ft rig w toad, they gave me a site hardly big enough + a tree interfered w my slide. They moved me to the next. They should have given me one of the better bigger sites. Plenty of them were open.

Awesome place. The only issue was with the hot tub at the old pool. Needs a stronger filter

Very disappointed in our stay. I had made my reservations 10 months in advance and specifically asked to not be next to a playground. We were placed directly next to the children’s activity area. It was chaos. Unsupervised children and even KOA employees ignoring the fact these children were driving golfcarts and motor scooters at excess speed. Our site was too small to accommodate our tow vehic

We stayed in a deluxe cabin with 2 adults, 2 teen boys and 2 tween girls & it was even better than expected. We've stayed at property (tent) before & knew we loved it but it was somehow even better than we remembered. The cabin was more like a small house, while bathroom/kitchen seating was tight, there was plenty of space and fun things to do! Wished we'd stayed an extra day to spend just at KOA!

We were only there for one night but found the resort beautiful. It has everything one could possibly need at a campground. This campground has been taken care of very well and a lot of thought has gone into providing a wonderful stay for all. the only reason I gave it a 4, is that it was sooooo busy....full of active ATV's which made it a bit noisy so if you are looking for quiet, this is not it.

Short stay with friends and family. Very accommodating! Great end of year sales. Great place for families.

Overall it’s a great place to stay. The camping spots are a bit crowded, but still decent. We weren’t at camp very much so it was fine. Nobody bothers anything, and this we loved! I wish the office was easier to reach with immediate access to security. We had some hellraisers in camp and I had to drive to the office because there isn’t a direct line to security. Not a problem, just inconveni

Koa as always a great place to stay and have a good time with the family when you’re camping.

It was only an overnight stay, but we had a great time and will definitely return.

The cabin was great but just a little smaller than what I thought the picture showed. The mattress on the futon was terrible. The employees were very helpful and friendly. The service at the restaurant was OK but not the greatest. However it is a great place to stay so that a person could do a lot of attractions.

We loved the well maintained camp ground, activities for kids and adults.

The spots are very tight for bigger rv's. Our spot was close to the main so it was very noisy. The campground was full of loud side by sides that would parade around most of the day until around 10 at night. The last couple of days we were there, there was a young girl on a side by side that just rode around the loops all day. It could be a great campground if you aren't looking for quiet time.

The staff at Palmer Gulch are friendly and helpful, especially the coffee/gift shop girl, very sweet. Found lots of great “gifts” in the well-appointed gift shop! The meatloaf special was really yummy in the restaurant at the top of the stairs. You couldn’t ask for a more beautifully scenic location! Overall, a very well organized facility and handsomely attended grounds. Love all the flower

We were given campsite 19 it was very wet and muddy also after crossing walk bridge we had to walk through other peoples campsites to get to the shower house

Everything was awesome, great escape. Only thing was the K9 camp (dog park) was in disrepair. Gates and fencing were broken. Disappointing as we use them quite often.

There’s a good reason we’ve been going back to Palmer Gulch KOA for years now. It’s a fantastic place, peaceful, lots of things for kids to do, and well-kept facilities. We already reserved for 2026!!

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.
