Stopped by to get some information. The lady at the desk wasn't the most helpful or personable, but was able to give some basic info. From the outside, seems really clean and well kept, even has a playground for children. We were able to briefly walk around and it seemed quiet and relaxing. Can't wait to get to stay here!
This location was great for access to the activities we enjoy. However, our experience upon arrival was not pleasant. The older women working the registration desk was not nice. It was disappointing that none of the club rooms were open for everyday use. The KOA book indicates that there were resevered club rooms for rent, and club rooms you do not pay for. Also, there is a game room, which is always locked. The game room, club rooms and office all close at 5:30 p.m. It does not seem friendly for short-term passing through travelers. One highlight was the interaction with the younger women at the registration desk Friday afternoon. She was very helpful with a posted weather advisory for the area.
We had an emergency repair at our apartment that we unfortunately had to vacate for the duration of the repair; and my baby is getting over a cold so spreading germs somewhere indoors isn’t cool. Plus tight budget so a hotel on such short notice would have been $$$$$. Fortunately; I discovered this place with a few minutes of googling. We were super excited and didn’t realize check-in wasn’t until 2PM, we arrived roughly before 11AM. The very friendly lady in the office was so accommodating and still allowed us access despite being 3 hours early, and assigned us to our space. Initial impression is that this place is very well maintained, clean, and quiet. We got comfortable pretty quickly and I would definitely visit here again just for fun! And the wifi was very stable and surprisingly fast, considering that it was free!
PROS: Pet friendly, Playground, Dog run, Free wi-fi, Quiet, Very clean restrooms and shower area, Grounds well maintained, Fire pits, Plenty to do and explore, Located in a good area, Pool available during summer season!
CONS: Honestly, nothing at all. We had no issue during our stay and everybody was very friendly.
