This KOA leaves a lot to be desired. The tent camping spots really only have room for one tent, and the rest of the spot is gravel. So if you have multiple tents, you will need to get creative. The bathrooms are disgusting. The showers are rarely cleaned, and it shows. Most of them only have a curtain, which is not comforting in a public restroom. On the weekend, all of the bathroom stalls were out of toilet paper, and nothing was done about it. The mini golf course is unusable. The turf is pulled up in multiple spots. Really, this place needs much better maintenance, and if you are camping in St. George you’ll be better off going somewhere else.
It’s an older KOA, decent. The people that work there are awesome!! They use the cashless laundry machines with the app or card that you purchase. The app wouldn’t turn the machine on until you had at least $25 in the account! $10 just to purchase the card if you go that route. The lower area where the bigger rigs are parked has a pronounced slope. You will need just about all the leveling blocks you have with you. On top of that the sewer connection is on the uphill side. In then end it was an almost level run from my waste valve to the in ground sewer connection. Better campgrounds out there? Sure, but we stayed 8 days here visiting Zion, Bryce, North Rim and others. Again the people here are VERT nice and VERY accommodating!
We arrived on 10/19 promising our child that we could use the pool since it did not close until 10/31 according to the website. When we checked in for the day, we were told that they had just shut the pool down for the year. All other entertainment amenities were so worn out as to be unusable except the new looking pickleball court. The bathrooms and showers were not clean and ran out of toilet paper. The first day we were there the water heater was broken, so it was cold showers only. They got it fixed and I was so excited for a hot shower the next day, only to discover that the water moved from comfortable to burning to freezing with no rhyme or reason. Really had to keep on my toes to avoid scalds. I would recommend staying elsewhere.
Not very good customer service. The lots aren't set up very well, unless your rig is from 1990. The pool does not apparently stay open to their hours advertised hours. Stopped here mostly for the pool. The pool closed an hour and a half before it was supposed to. Very unhappy...
The dog park is tiny and has no lights.
And again the lot setups are awful. We have a slide-out and our slide-out goes over the sewer hookup which is supposed to be our sewer and the neighbor's sewer.
I was very worried after the bad reviews. I found the KOA to be great! Stayed a week. Clean, friendly, and well kept. The campground is remodeling the game area during our stay. I just think the bad reviews must be a fluke. The bathrooms do need updating but for camping they were workable. Wish they had locks on shower stalls that’s our only complaint. Got walked in on a few times. But we will stay here again.
