Very nice, quiet RV park. We typically avoid KOA but this is one of the very best KOAs we have visited. Long pull thru sites and end sites have a very nice patio. Clean facilities... 10/25/2021

PROS: Easy check in check out, great location, loved the cabin. Staff so helpful, even brought a charcoal grill to our site. Beautiful view, fun hiking trails. Will definitely be back.. Cons: No storage space with shelves (closet had some but no hangers... 12/2/2021

Very friendly & helpful staff, well kept grounds, 10-20 feet between trailers, very well laid out so your neighbors utility connections are not in your front door. This was our 3rd stay here and we will be back. 11/30/2021

Knowledgeable and helpful staff, clean facilities. Always a pleasant experience. 11/30/2021

I would like to give a shout out to the Best Managers and staff at any KOA we have stayed at. The campground was quiet, very clean, nice amenities, so relaxing…and the Thanksgiving Dinner for the campers and staff was very much appreciated, I had never seen so many smiles... 11/30/2021

Nice grounds with lots for the littles to do. Very friendly staff that went above and beyond! 11/29/2021

Just loved how kid friendly the place is. The employees are so sweet. The yellow pinecone search is such a great idea. The kids and adults loved looking for them. The Sat breakfast was amazing as well 11/22/2021

Site was roomy, fairly level. Owners/Managers were friendly and helpful. Utilities worked fine, other campers were very friendly and welcoming. 11/21/2021

The Rusk KOA Campground is a nice spot surrounded by trees. I think the trees and seclusion are the best features. We also thought the tipis and cabins were attractive and well sited. 11/21/2021

Surprise at the terrain you were able to use, nicely done. Came in at 5:30, left at 0700 there was no shower house code available or way to get code which is the primary reason I choose KOA. They always have clean nice facilities. I didn't leave my cc # on registration... 11/20/2021

Not on major routes, but a really nice campground. 11/19/2021

Very enjoyable!. Pleasant professional staff. Very clean property. Excellent facilities. 11/15/2021

Great staff and very helpful 11/13/2021

Outstanding, never stayed at a KOA that was far enough away from major populations, yet close enough to go to locations in order to see the Texas attractions we came there to see. Very relaxing. 11/9/2021

Enjoyed, everyone was very helpful. 11/8/2021

Awesome hilltop site, really cool trail throught the woods. Very nice and friendly staff. Mr. Rick was a life saver when he helped me fill up my 5th wheel tires! Thanks to all at Rusk KOA!!! 11/8/2021
