Third time here over the years. Always has been nice. We have a motor home and our site was pleasant. Spent 5 nights. Thanks for being so helpful and the helpers running around on golf carts working there were so NICE too. Will be back again.

First and last visit. Campsites on top of each other. While the very old and tall trees may be pretty, they are also a hazard if not kept up. My experience, you guessed it. Branch came down and put a 6x12 hole in my new camper. They took the report. Their insurance even called asking for a estimate and gave me a claim #. Got them the estimate and they got back with me after prodding. “After investigation we are denying your claim, please contact your personal insurance carrier” Stay at your own risk- these old trees are NOT maintained. The employees there let me know they have a half dozen of these every year

We stayed in the Trout Stream cabin mid March. It is very comfortable and cozy. We were very warm with the space heater . The restrooms were clean. We could hear the soothing sounds of the river everywhere in the campground .

The best place I’ve ever camped so far! We rented a little cabin for the 3 day weekend, it was right by the river which made it even more peaceful and enjoyable! The cabin is very spacious, because the cabin is river front we could barely hear any cars. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a nice fenced area for dogs to run around which I loved since I have a pup that comes with me camping. I can’t wait to stay at this KOA again! Such an amazing experience
