Great spot!

This was a great spot to hang for the night. Easy night check in, full hookups and WiFi. What more could you want?

Great place

I love this KOA campground. It’s very clean and the people that run it are very nice. I love the store here. They have souvenirs. Some grocery and they also have an ice cream machine. Their ice cream is great.

Good for a quick stay

Campsites are a little close with no privacy and there are no sewer connections at the individual sites. There are two dump sites on the backside of the store. Pretty much gravel throughout with some grass at the smaller sites. Amenities: kids playground area with grass, a small fenced dog park, horseshoes, picnic table at each site (no fire pits at the pull through sites). Inside the store: pool table, table tennis, and a foosball table. Overall a good clean campsite to hold you over for a day or two.

Journey KOA

This KOA has mature trees and gravel rv pads. The sites are mostly level, but may need one block to be completely level. All the sites seem to fill up every night. (Mid-end of May). It’s down in a slight valley so the wind does not hit the campground as hard. The dog park is fairly small, but allows your furry friend to get off of their leash and stretch their legs. The bathrooms are decent- however one of the showers does not lock, and one of the toilet stalls does not either. Campground internet has been sufficient throughout our week. Would stay here again on our way to and from destinations.

Got the job done!

We needed to stay in Pocatello for 5 nights (we are a full time family), and the other place we reserved a spot at was a bust. This KOA got us in last minute and it’s fine. Yes, it’s a bit expensive for rocks, dirt, and no sewage hookup, but there’s a great view, a nice dog run, everything is SUPER clean, the showers are hot, and the laundry facility got our clothes clean. We would stay here again if we need to be in town. And our kids love the “vintage” playground, it has equipment that you don’t find on modern playgrounds.

Overpriced and incredibly dusty

The whole ground in the campground is covered in rock and dirt. Given that you might think the site was level? Nope.

Also you have literally no space, the sites are right on topic of each other.

Shower house was clean and water was hot! Nice.

Not for tent campers

Meh. Was clean. There is a kids play ground area. Wifi was garbage. Stayed at the tent site closest to the office/road. Lots of shade, but beware of where you set things up at. Look at the ground and you will see worn or unhealthy grass. This is where apparently the trees drip a sap that isn't all that sticky compared to like pine sap, but it does drip like a faucet... it was noisy, headlights, engines, etc. etc... I wouldn't stay there again, at least not in the same spot and not in a tent.

Your normal city-slicker campground

In my opinion, this is not 'camping' but Glamping. But is okay and works for a overnighter pass through. There's a passcode to enter the bathroom which was an issue for me since we stopped here late at night just to spend the night somewhere. The office was closed, so we couldn't get the code.

Poor for a KOA

Very poor example of a KOA, very boring park but very close to town where you can find things to do.
