Confirmed by 2 users | Last reported on July 24, 2023Very convenient on and off with choice of gas stations. We checked n and a very nice woman took us to our site. We pulled into our site and she didn’t like how far away the hook ups were in relation to our rig so she moved us to a different spot where they were much closer. Narrow spaces but most KOAs are. The only real negative is the road noise. We were in spot 32 which was right below I-80. Spots back farther might be better but not sure. It was only one night and might stay again if just for one night.

Good for an overnight stay. Very clean bathrooms and laundry room. Game room and lounge were closed due to remodel. Friendly hosts. Lost of amenities. Loud traffic noise and VERY small lots. Full hookups were nice. Plenty of pull-through sites.

We are new to travel trailer camping and this is our very first KOA. I’ve always had a negative view of KOA in the past, but this campground changed my perspective 180 degrees.
Very friendly staff, excellent grounds upkeep, and great amenities, and crazy good wifi. What more could you ask for?? A little close to the highway, but than camping near railroad tracks by a long shot, LOL.

Just a one night stay over but this park has everything you need! Friendly staff, large pull thru site, dog park and pool after a long ride. Only downside is noise from freeway but it is easy on and off…,

Our stay here was fine. Check-in was easy and courteous. We were escorted to our site. All of the staff that we interacted with was great. It seems like this park has an original section and then expansion sections tired up a hillside. The original section is the only section with any mature shade trees. Our site, and it looked like the others in the tiered hillside section, were in full sun all day. We selected an upgraded patio site. It was spacious and the patio area was made from pavers. It was equiped the same as the other sites though, just a fire pit and a picnic table (that was in rough shape). Our experience at other KOAs is that the patio sites have some better patio furniture. The fire pit wasn't functional for cooking. The cooking grate was rusted and set about 1" off the bottom of the fire pit leaving no room for charcoal. Pool looked nice but we didn't use it. The bathrooms and showers were clean but the showers could use a place to set your dry clothes.

After a sweltering night in a public city campground in Michigan that couldn't deliver the proper voltage, we decided to get a proper 50 amp hookup so we could enjoy a good night's sleep while traveling cross country. This place was the right distance from our day's start and fit the bill, easy access off the interstate, in at 5 PM and out at 8 AM. Also, we were able to get a last minute reservation on a Friday night.
It's a typical KOA that caters to families, the landscape is well maintained, the staff was helpful and friendly, but you can't cover up the fact that you are sleeping 250 feet from I-80. Good thing we were running the air conditioning all night (which was our principal reason for selecting this CG.) Also, the sites are a bit tight and short (even by KOA standards) and our site was not level (left to right) which I consider inexcusable for a gravel site in a KOA.
Being so close to the interstate, we did have excellent Verizon data coverage. Streaming HD video was most welcome.

Close to the interstate and noisy, but lots for kids! There is a nice pool, playground and jumping pad. It wasn’t crowded when we came, thank goodness since the sites are pretty narrow. Glad we stayed on our way through.

Overall decent but had some issues like all dirt roads so lots of dust, right next to major interstate so lots of noise and where we stayed the sites faced each other so you were looking right at your neighbor if you were out

Called around 5:30pm and they had one spot left. We were put in the tent camping area, but there was one spot in that area that had water and electric which is where they put us. Staff was great and guided us to the site. Everything worked as expected. Little noisy being next to the highway, but great overnight stay on the way to Oshkosh.
