I really debated posting a review because the youth staff is extremely pleasant and kind but as a family who camps quite a bit, we rely heavily on reviews to make our decisions in where we stay.
This booking was primarily made because it was last minute on a holiday weekend and they happened to have an opening. Upon arrival our check in process was easy, but when we arrived to our tent site, the area had not been mowed and the site had heavy sticks. There truly wasn’t an actual pad for our tent like others we have been to prior. We cleared the area and setup camp.
They advertise pedal bikes, air hockey, and game room, but they didn’t have any of this. The facilities are pretty run down and it definitely needs an overall update. The putt putt course shouldn’t even be advertised because it’s so ran down and the pond is more of a marsh. A staff member mentioned it was on their list of renovations to do but in reading reviews, someone posted 3 years ago it was run down. The pool is heated but it is very small and doesn’t seem the cleanest. We did the walking trails and there were quite a bit of large trees down over the main trail that we couldn’t just climb over and had to find a way around.
The restrooms were eh with cleanliness and they really didn’t have any water pressure.
They had a cornhole tournament and put a sign on the door that said “staff is at cornhole” which would seem okay to then go to the tournament and EASILY find the staff. I didn’t see a single staff shirt and the only reason I knew to go to the person I did is because I had seen her cleaning the pool earlier that day. They were just hanging out at the tournament watching. Just seemed as if priorities were not in the right place.
Quiet times are not honored as two nights in a row, regulars thought it would be a great idea at 10:20pm to do a golf cart parade with bright lights and honking horns throughout the entire campground. Then having neighbors blasting music not just through the entire day with profanities but also into the night not ending until 10:30pm
They do offer wifi which is nice, but we have Verizon and even with the wifi we really didn’t have any service. It wasn’t a huge deal to us as we were all together as a family, but for anyone staying who may have things back at home that they need to keep up on, consider a backup plan.
One thing we thought was a great service that the offered was having wood delivered to your site after paying for it. They also have a little keurig coffee bar that was a nice tough Dr a quick coffee grab.
We have stayed at KOAs prior and have had overall great experiences. We were glad this wasn’t our first KOA experience or we probably wouldn’t stay at one again. Overall you pay extra for the stay at KOA campgrounds for amenities and to be above other campgrounds. Not this one.
This is the most beautiful, peaceful campground I've ever been to. They always help me back my camper into the site. The hiking trails are wonderful and well maintained. And the mini golf is lots of fun. The dog park is small, but clean and well managed. Our site (#80) has enough space to put up my dog fence which is enormous.
This campground is very run down and the landlord is definitely absentee. The sites are very unlevel. We were next to a campsite that their dog was extremely territorial if you walked through the campsite you would definitely get bit. Camp staff is no where to be found and their is a note on the door to call for assistance. The pool is only five feet deep and spiders everywhere. The put put is completely run down and should be replaced. I would say if you were going to stay here it is not for kids or families at all probably older retired adults not looking to do anything but sit outside your camper. Very disappointed in our stay we won't be back
This is a really nice, small, and quiet KOA. The staff were very friendly (Looks like kids run the show, didn't see any adults) but, they ran it great. Our check-in and check-out was very quick and smooth. Their shop is one of the most affordable ones I've been in and it's kept very clean. We went for Father's day and they had activities, but I wish the posted more about them when we checked in so we knew more about what was going on that weekend. They're fishing pond was very nice and we caught a decent amount of fish. The campsites seem to be well kept and clean. The bathrooms were clean but, I wish they had better water pressure and it would have been helpful to have a family bathroom since we have little ones. Trying to shower the little ones in the normal bath house was very cramped. All in all, very nice and friendly campground.
A pathetic ‘campground’ honestly. We have been a seasonal camper for 3 years and this summer has been absolute juvenile Facebook stalker drama from the owner. Camping is supposed to be a get-away to relax and enjoy nature. Our experience has been just the opposite. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone.
