We arrived there to stay for one night in October in our 32ft RV. We managed to get a full hook up (the site was not very booked at this time of year), but found the site pretty basic in terms of what it offers. We managed to find one 'snowy' tv channel (if you have this option available), had... More

What really stands out about this property is that it has some very nice tent camping sites, most of which offer a degree of privacy and avoid the parking-lot effect that many KOAs tend to have. Also, it is a 15-20 minute drive from the nearest major highway or populated area, so no road noise. On the negative side, the... More

You can bring a tent, RV/trailer, or rent a cabin. The only problem was that we were bothered in the middle of the night by guest setting up their area. They have several bathrooms and showers. Also they have a pool and general store.

This is not a hotel, it's a campground. The facilities are much, much better than most campgrounds. The owners are super nice. We had a great time!

We went there for our family vacation because we were looking for a get away with not a huge price tag. The lodge we rented was nice and clean. The area smelt of sewage and there was a pin of goats that belong to a employee just down the hill from our lodge. They like to make noise all night.... More

Was kept awake until 3:30am by a party (lights, music, lots of alcohol, profanity). The partiers had a great time but my wife, two young daughters and i did not. There was no security guard / watchperson so i repeatedly asked for quiet without success. Also had to ask 10 teenagers who were smoking pot 20 yards from our tent... More

We stayed here one night in our motorhome. Campsites are scattered around the hills though some of the RV sites are fairly close together. The staff was very helpful in getting us checked in and locating our site. If you need wood for a campfire, you buy it at the store there and they deliver it to your site. Lots... More

This is a clean KOA set in the midst of beautiful hills and countryside, near a lake. If you want to see and hear wildlife, this is the place to be. We even saw a bear paw print on our car the next day after our first night's stay! The campground is hilly, so traveling to and from the bath... More
