Absolutly the most rude front desk lady of any KOA weve ever stayed. We will never be going back here. Been a KOA card member for decades, and never have I been treated so poorly. This place should not even qualify as as KOA and Corporate should take notice of how they are treating people. Just Awful

We have now stayed here on 6 different occasions and everyone here is so nice and helpful!! On two occasions, I had to change our reservations with very little notice and they worked very hard to fit us in and make us comfortable. We have a 45’ class A diesel, towing a 25 Ft trailer. It’s not always easy for us to get around and they always go above and beyond to make it a great experience. The campground is also very pretty and everything is so clean and well taken care of!! Wonderful place to stay!🌼

Review written for RV peeps. This campsite is a hidden gem! Located about 1 mile off the highway you will find a beautiful shaded campsite right on the lake! As this site is 1 mile from the highway you can sleep easy at night and barely hear the sound of the highway during the day. Driving in you will pull into gravel that is grated, compact and not too dusty. It is even with the road so there isn't a dip and no potholes that were noticeable. The trees here are amazing! Huge trees for shade that are cut really high so even the biggest rigs with tow behinds have no worries about scraping anything or not being able to turn. The pads are compact gravel that appear to have good drainage and was the most level site I have ever been at (including some of the concrete pads 🀣). There are several pull thrus and fantastic access to sewer, water and electric. The hook up area is well lit and maintained beautifully! The fire rings are pretty cool (see pictures). The rings for the pull thrus seem to all be basic firepits and they all have wooden picnic tables. There is a dish washing area if you need it, located behind the office. This KOA has bike rentals, a kid's playground, dog park and oh yea did I mention the lake with a small boat ramp! Wow! It was beautiful! At the time of this review, the boat ramp was rough so be careful and check it out before you decide to back down it. Leaving the campsite the gravel road was level with the street and had a sign posted for easy access back to the highway. This facility was quiet and well kept. I highly recommend stopping here for a night/day of rest!

Nice KOA to stay at for our travels. Nothing crazy to write home about but nice size sites with some trees and great sunrise views over the farmland.

I'm sure it is the same as RV sites. 3 pm. The odd thing is the only place it says they can charge you is the map I recieved AFTER I checked in.

Pretty good. We caught several off the bank. Very large fish compared to what we're accustom to catching. We rented paddle boats and fished from them as well.
