Best KOA we’ve seen 11/10/2020

Everything was spotlessly clean and we enjoyed walking around the lake. The only thing that could be improved is that the employees in the camp store/gas station weren't wearing masks to help stop the spread of COVID-19. This made me a little uncomfortable... 11/10/2020

Ive stayed at many KOA's in the past and this by far was my favorite locations so far. The cabin was absolutly beautiful and I really enjoyed my time fishing. Everyone was extreamly kind and helpful and wasn exactly what I needed. It was an extremely nicle place to stay. 11/10/2020
