Ok let me start by apologizing to some of the other reviewers! I honestly thought some of you might have been overreacting about the noise at this place. Let me say - They Weren’t!
Let me back up. First the staff are really nice, very helpful, and very professional. The park does look well kept. We had a big pull through sight - but let me say - watch out for the concrete curbs. They have lots of them! It is somewhat tight in the back where we parked.
Now to the noise. We can handle the train - which does run ALL NIGHT LONG. What was ridiculous was the traffic on the highway ( trucks using air breaks etc all night) and then the traffic in the park from some very inconsiderate campers starting up motorcycles and heavy duty trucks way up till after midnight. Apparently this place doesn’t have quite hours. If your coming to rest don’t stop here, if your coming to stay up late and play at the springs then you found your spot.
It’s not the park’s fault about the train and highway traffic but would definitely recommend maybe planting extra trees and shrubs on that side to deaden the noise some. Just my opinion. And again your staff was super nice!
Do Not Stay up top. We were assured that we were set back from the freeway, NOPE, Cars and Big Rigs all day and all night. Then there is the trains, they did stop at about 11pm and started again at 6am. People playing and YELLING all day and half the night at the volleyball nets and then The trash bins were emptied at 6:30am. We paid extra for a patio site and this is what we had to deal with in space 220.
The lower section looked nice but I am unable to speak to the noise level in those sites. All I can say is be sure NOT to get stuck in the top section.
We stayed in the KOA East Campground 8/10-8/13 site 212. I noticed my wedding ring was missing today, a few hours after heading home. We called and asked if the staff could check the fire pit because after draining my holding tanks, I put my blue gloves in it. We didn’t use the pit otherwise and nothing else was in it. The office said they would look and call me back, that was 6 hours ago. I called back and the girl who answered the phone was very rude, saying how busy everyone is and hanging up on me. I understand being busy, however this is a wedding ring, is it that much to ask the staff to check and see if they can find it? I am very disappointed with the customer service.
We were in the smallest cabin. It was clean and cozy, no bugs. The mattresses are pretty hard. The Highway and railroad are right behind so if noise bothers you in your sleep, book the other KOA campground (west). The bathrooms/showers are what really impressed us! Very clean, updated, and soooo refreshing.
