Reviews

I loved my time here! The beautiful camp grounds offered plenty of activities through the day and evening. And the nights were very quiet. Only the sounds of wildlife as we sat by the campfire. I rented a deluxe cabin. The set up was similar to a hotel room. 2 beds, small countertop with a couple stools, a counter with a microwave and coffee maker on top and a small fridge below. It was bigger than I expected and it had a beautiful location along a creek. The porch on the front with a picnic table was an added bonus in my eyes. There also appeared to be a grill at each site. Fair warning...There was a notice in the bathroom area explaining the hot water is limited. I discovered this to be truer than I expected. Lol I recommend a quick warm shower vs a hot shower. 10/10 I would go back!

We where driving through and needed a place to stay. We came in at almost midnight and the young adult was very nice. Great location and very big Cam ground a nice pond and what I saw was two dog park areas and a dog wash area. The fire pit was extremely nice we didn’t use it but you can tell they put effort in everything there.

Our stay at this campground was frustrating from the moment we arrived. The front office staff was incredibly rude during check-in—no greeting, no welcome—just asked for our name with an attitude. We weren’t even given the option to choose our campsite in advance, just a general section. When we arrived at our site, a massive tree was blocking our access, making setup unnecessarily difficult. Things only got worse. At one point, the staff tried to deny us re-entry because the yellow slip that’s supposed to hang from the mirror had fallen to the floor of our car. As someone who is 37 weeks pregnant, I physically couldn’t reach it. Even after explaining that, the staff was dismissive and insisted we wouldn’t be allowed back in. This was especially ridiculous considering we had paid an additional $20 for two fobs to ensure smooth access, and all of our belongings were still inside the site. The worst part of our stay was the repeated power outages—on the hottest day, no less. The entire campground lost electricity, and based on what others were saying, this is apparently a regular issue here. It’s no surprise, considering how overcrowded the place is. Our picnic table was practically touching our neighbor’s site—there’s zero privacy or breathing room. With no power, people couldn’t keep their pets cool inside their RVs (which we paid for), and the pools were all shut down due to lack of power. You couldn’t go in the lake or creek due to overcrowding. When you could use a pool, they both were packed and there was no moving around. Not a single update or communication from the campground about when power would be restored. To top it all off, the power continued to go out every single hour starting at 11:30 PM and well into the next morning—on and off, completely disrupting any chance at sleep. Between the unprofessional staff, poor communication, constant power issues, extreme overcrowding, and sky-high prices, this place is a hard pass. There are far better campgrounds out there with more space, better amenities, and actual customer service. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Buckle up for a ride. We have been staying at this KOA in the same cabin (by the creek in the back - KT3) with multiple families for the past 6 years. After our first night in the cabin, at about 5pm the next day, I noticed about 10 bites on my left elbow. Didn’t think much of it, we’re camping after all. Went to bed the 2nd night pretty covered up because it was cold and woke up to 20+ bites all over my arms. Immediately searched the mattress and discovered it was pristine so I thought phew! No worries there. But then I checked the box spring and much to my dismay it was infested with bed bugs. I went to the office at 9am when they opened and was greeted by a very unpleasant young lady who was under the impression that I was required to be cheery and pleasant to her considering the circumstances I have found myself in due to their negligence. The owner’s son arrived and confirmed it was bed bugs and we were offered a refund for the cabin and the golf cart and were shockingly offered to move all our now potentially contaminated items to a new cabin. It was at that moment that I knew these people had no idea how to deal with and treat a bed bug infestation and we immediately checked out and went home with all our belongings in plastic bags. Over the next 24 hours at home I developed 60+ bites all over my arms, hands, face and neck which are now blistering and oozing. I called the office and requested to speak to a manager and was put on with a very nice young lady whose hands were tied behind her back. The owners tasked her with offering me 50% off a week in a cabin (not by the creek though) and a free golf cart rental as if I would ever be returning there in this lifetime. Foolish of me to think that an establishment solely responsible for what is now turning out to be an approximately $3000 loss (items thrown away, exterminator costs, laundry costs, mattress and pillow protectors, etc) would take any responsibility or ownership of their negligence. This has destroyed my peace of mind, I can’t sleep because I feel like bugs are crawling on me, my children missed out on their week of camping and I am absolutely beside myself because this has the potential to become very bad, very quick. KOA on the other hand… apparently not their problem. What is perhaps the most disturbing is that there are likely multiple families who have stayed in that cabin all summer and are unfortunate to not have had such a severe reaction to the bites and will likely realize what happened several weeks or months from now at which time KOA can absolve themselves of all responsibility. How convenient. Do not stay here. They don’t know how to handle bed bugs. They’ve likely spread to other cabins. I highly doubt they will effectively treat the infestation in KT3. It is my assumption they knew there was an issue in there, changed the mattress and thought they solved the problem and left the infested box spring which is why the mattress was so clean. Please, please, please, do not stay here

We rented a cabin They were alright. Liked the pools. Bounce pillow. Added on volleyball and basketball hoops. Lots of improvement have been made in the last to years. Grounds look nice and maintained. Love the beach/pond, where people can fish and use boats.
