Campground Reviews

Sep 18, 2020
We stayed 2 nights at KOA near Rochester MN. We had an appointment at Mayo Clinic. It was quite easy to drive from KOA to Mayo Clinic. The campground was kept up nicely. It was probably a little on the pricey side but I thought it was worth it for the convenient location.

We only stayed 1 night on our way west, but the campground was very nice and very easy to get to off I-90. Very friendly staff.

Barb and Rogers KOA just off I90 near Rochester Mn is more than just a campground Sure it has all the amenities 1 expects from a KOA ;safe, clean,fun ,convenient environment What makes this place special is that they host not only weary travelers but they have the responsibility to make extended stay campers (as I was for 17 days )who are patients at nearby Mayo Clinic feel like a home Wow!

Owners are very nice. They are very thoughtful and flexible. I lost my keys and they are going to mail them to me. They go above and beyond for their campers. Definitely will visit again.

We had a cabin for the weekend and we had a wonderful time! No issues! Calm, quiet, clean and relaxing! Thank you to Roger and Bard for the great hospitality!

Drove up for appointment at Mayo. Owners were friendly and helpful. Sites were flat. Utilities were handy. Location was great. Fifteen minutes from downtown Rochester. Thanks

Many dead trees, fire pits too small & over priced wood was lumber. neighbors all Chain smoked. I would have Moved (clearly irritating owners), but then I realized it was the owners family or friends staying. Employee thought it was ok to drink beer while delivering wood to the same neighbors. Eventually someone brought a thank you bag of goodies w/ leaking packs of benadyl that expired in 1997.

Great hospitality! The sites are not too close to each other & offer plenty of room for privacy. A nice place to stay for a day trip to 4 Daughters Winery.

Great space, well maintained, and super nice owners

We called ahead to say we would be checking in late. When we arrived we found the bathrooms were closed. If that were due a plumbing problem, why weren't we told when I called ahead to say we'd be arriving late? We're traveling in a very small camper with no toilet. That's the primary reason that we keep stopping at KOA, for the known quality of the facilities. Very disappointed.

Love this KOA! Will for sure be back!!

Clean bathrooms site had big holes that could have caused injury if you were not careful where you walked. Not bad campground but it was like camping in a city park in the middle of a small town.

Clean, well cared-for, friendly staff. Just far enough away from I-90 to not be overly bothered by that traffic noise. Hwy 52 (right next to campgound) is busy during the day, but not bad at night. With Covid-19 regulations, only those with no facilities in their unit get the code for the bathroom door lock. We pull a pop-up, so had the bathroom mostly to ourselves.

The pool was filthy and we were not told that we would not have access to the showers/bathrooms during our stay. We were driving back from SD and only wanted to stay overnight so we had a shower and a place for our 2 kids to swim. The only upside of this KOA is that the other people staying there were very friendly.

We enjoy this campground & they have been working hard to clean up trees & keep the park up. Our only complaint was 2 groups of campers that 1 was beside us & the other across from us partying & the kids running & jumping in the camper when we were trying to sleep. Usually this is a pretty quiet campground. Camphostess & daughter are great & helpful. Good wifi.

Staff was friendly and helpful, restrooms and shop was clean. Was kind of annoying to listen to chain sawing and stick grinding all day. It seems like that kind of project could be saved for off season. Pool was SUPER cold (to the point that we couldn't even stand to swim in it) and dirty so that was a bummer. Playground was in serious need of updating and repair.

The campground was clean and well kept. We were told on arrival that bathrooms were closed. I felt the park was run by gestapo. Seemed like they were patrolling to see if we were doing something wrong. Also seemed they were money hungry. Also , the saying the customer is always right” does not apply at this park

Quiet, clean, wonderful for staying to go to Mayo clinic. A short 10 minute drive to hospitals. The owners are very friendly, a real bonus is having propane refill ability. I will continue to return when going to Mayo for treatment.

We loved our stay. Will be back next year!!

It was a quiet campground. We just needed a place to park really. Our site had some remaining trash but the site itself was flat and shaded.

Many different people in my family have stayed at this campground over the last 35 years and it is always a great campsite and the staff is extremely welcoming and friendly. Thanks for having us!

Staff was great, brought us to our site helped guide us in. The campground was clean and close to downtown Rochester would definitely recommend this KOA

Too many restrictions for guests, limited shade, pool was not filtering and the garden hose running cold water during open hours. Barb was not pleasant to deal with. Would not stay again.

We were very concerned that staff were not wearing masks indoors. MN mask mandate requires this and even if you don't agree with it, it is your responsibility to keep your customers safe so please wear masks. We were told visitors should register in the office but weren't informed there was a fee. When my son came to visit, he was charged $5 even though he wasn't staying. Hidden fee we felt.

Nice place but you are not welcomed here. Next time I will stop to another KOA some miles before or after. Never felt that way in any KOA before.

We had a nice time there.

We were there briefly overnight and all went smoothly. It is convenient just off I-90 but the road noise is minimal.
Aug 12, 2020
The conditions were nice but the managers were not very personable or friendly

We stayed on campsite number 10, enjoyable and quiet. Which is our preference vs. Being next to the pool. Nice owners.

Fantastic, We had a great time. Staff was really friendly and helpful

Cold, rude, condescending. Politically & socially inappropriate framed religious figure illustration AND large political candidate sign hung IN THE LOBBY. Very unwelcoming and off putting. KOA should not push religion & politics on the customers. I was terrified of religious or political persecution and despite paying, left immediately without staying even 1 minute. Very scary.

Stayed 1 night on our travels-campground was clean, site was as expected.

Great place, clean well taken care of and very quiet. Hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Good stay as usual, except for that AWFULL tornado siren! It lasts way to long and way to LOUD. Once a month seems acceptable but not every Wednesday.

We arrived late on a stopover while driving cross country. The site was easy to find and late check in was very easy. Bathrooms were immaculate and appreciated after a long drive.

We camped in a tent, the site was spacious and clear. The dog park was close and clean. The showers were clean and safe. Very nice!
