KOA Americus

This is a really nice campground. The bathrooms are exceptionally clean! The tent sites have really nice raised tent platforms, with a picnic table and fire ring. The site light was bright and the electrical outlet came in handy. There was disc golf, golf, and a nice fenced dog park. Only thing that could have been better would be if the tent sites were spaced a little further apart!

This is our first stay at a KOA and we couldn't have asked for a nicer campground. We were only going to stay a couple of days and decided to extend our stay by a week. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The tent sites we're spacious and close to the bath house and it was clean and we'll maintained. We enjoyed watching the disc golfers as well as the regular golfers. Andersonville was close and an interesting national park to visit along with the beautifully maintained national cemetery.

The only issue I had was the highway noise of cars and trucks running over the rumble strips which is out of the parks control.

I grew up tent camping @ KOA’s all over, every year, so I was ecstatic to be taking my young family on our first camping trip here! The staff was absolutely wonderful, the tent sites were adequate sized and the bathrooms were very well maintained and right across the road from the tent sites. The sites were actually pretty central to everything (pond, playground, bathrooms, laundry/deep sink, check-in/shop) so that was great. We didn’t spend a ton of time here because it was a short trip and we drove out to Providence Canyon State Park for our full day adventure. But every bit of time we spent at our campsite (our friends camped at the site next to us) was totally enjoyable! My ONLY complaint would be that out of the two outlets we got on our site, one of them didn’t work. Otherwise we had a perfect stay!

We stayed here last fall during the GA fair weekend so that we could take the kids to the fair. It was an easy drive to the fair where we spend two days. Our other time was spent at the campground. The campground was probably the worst KOA we’ve stayed at. It is in dire need of an overall update. Spots was small, and close together. There were no activities for kids. There was a fishing pond about 1/2 mile walk away where we were able to pass some time catching fish. A new frisbee golf course has just been put in when we were there, but other than that- no real activities for the kids like other KOA’s.

We stayed at the Americus KOA while completing our Canyon Challenge in Georgia. Right outside Americus, GA the campground sites are an extension of the Brickyard Plantation Golf Club and surrounded by the disc golf course. 

This summer I had gotten a KOA membership to try it out. Of the KOA’s I stayed in this was by far one of the more spacious ones. I don’t know if it had any larger of an area but the openness of the golf course and surrounding area made it feel much bigger then the others ones I’ve visited. There were plenty of options to walk along the sides of the camping area and on the golf course. The dog park was a small area not really worth taking the dogs off their leads. But there were poo bags if you forgot yours;) Several water areas which I was leery of because of possible snakes. ( and yea I wondered about alligators, lol)

It was not lacking in wildlife! The cute tree frogs were everywhere. Bring your gnat repellent!!! They were horrible. Aside from the annoyance factor I guess it was better then mosquitoes. If you have a screen tent definitely pack it for this trip. In addition the coyotes came through the area , setting my dogs off at about 2 am the first night. There was “something” crying pitifully our second night there. I could not decide if it was a “cat” or possibly a baby raccoon, we did not go looking for it. 

The nearby town had the street names of Lee, Jackson and Cotton to name a few and I didn’t really find anything exceptional to bring me back.

We placed our tent on the gravelled square at our site and hung the hammock. The showerhouse and laundry were within 25 feet of our site. The office was about 100 ft away and a community building with kitchen was about 25 ft from us. Very quiet area (aside from the wildlife) other campers mostly stayed inside their RVs.
