The lady at the front desk is rude and goes out of her way to make rude comments. The first rude comment she made was after she explained something to me very quickly and I didn't quite catch what she said. When I asked her to reiterate something she said sarcastically "yeah, that was the second option." I served in the United States Marine Corps and lost a lot of hearing firing a lot of really big guns. Apparently my hearing loss was such an inconvenience for this person that she felt the need to make this and other rude comments to me.
I don't pay this much to get disrespected like that. I'll be staying at one of the many other campgrounds in the area from now on.
Overall, it was ok. Staff was very nice and accommodating. My only complaint is that there was a homeless lady by the bathrooms at 6:00AM.
The Joplin KOA is the best RV Campground we have seen on this 4000 mile road trip. The staff is helpful, but not intrusive. They meticulously maintain the grounds, restrooms, and laundry facilities. The spots are level, and ample in size. It's quiet, safe, and comfortable here.
Have not stayed here. A journey koa should not have gravel drives and pads. On a diesel pusher with the radiator in the rear, gravel drives are horrible. The engine throws dust over everything in site. A journey I thought meant premium. I guess I was wrong. Koa should not have a "journey" which we think of as premier, that does not have paved sites.
Sites are very plain. Few with shade. No fire pits. We were put in a 30 amp site in spite of the place being nearly empty. Not conducive to sitting outside. No concrete or asphalt area for picnic table or for chairs or grilling. Our first KOA site. Expected much higher quality.
