    Great city park on a cute town

    Nice city park campground close to lots of covered bridges and other things to see. The sites are pretty well spaced with lots of grass and some trees in between. It was a good value for full hookup sites. The bathroom was decent, and phone service was adequate. We just spent one night here on our way home from Colorado, but will be returning in the fall to explore more and see some colors.

    Timing is everything!

    Pretty grounds with woodland coverage on all sides in addition to the lake. We visited in August and realized it was prime family vacation time before school starts up again, so a little crowded and noisy. Spots are pretty close together too. But the grounds are quite lovely and the facilities were super clean. We plan to go back when Autumn arrives, mid week. Bonus easy shore fishing access.

    Perfect

    Tented camped in late October, the weekend before closing.  I was only tent camper in the electric only sites.  If there was a tent only location, I didn't see it.  Those in campers that need water and electricity are regulated to gravel 'parking lot' sites.

    Beautiful park with playgrounds, swim beach, fisbee golf, paved trail, many fishing bars, and more.  

    Electric only sites are small and spaced out well.  Most have level drive perfect for sm camper or suv camping. Grass has slope, but I think you can find a good enough place for tent, I did.  Bathroom clean enough, I didn't use showers. I enjoyed the privacy of lake-front site J.

    Unbelievable !

    Stayed here for five nights attending a family reunion. First time staying at a koa and it was awesome. From the site service firewood and food delivery, to the location and people who stopped here in their travels. I will definitely stay at a KOA again!

    Very nice park

    Mostly level sites with options for tenting or rv. Sites are primitive, electric only or full hookup. Several back to to the lake. The lake is great for fishing, kayaking or swimming.

    Family Tradition

    We love to return here every year! 

    Recently updated two-way fresh-fill/santiary dump station. There is Ice Cube Consessions and the skating rink from Memorial Day through Labor Day every year. Great long-term hosts really make this park feel like going home.

    Park is nice energy is not

    We planned on staying there a couple nights but after pulling through the RV and getting ready to hook up we decided to leave. The energy there was so off and it did not feel safe. I don't know what it was but definitely won't be back there.

    Interstate to close

    You could literally throw a rock from the entrance and hit a passing semi. Would be a possible extended stay for construction folks. Not for any peace and quite camping. Have never stayed at the campground, only scouted. So can't comment on operators, or residents.

    Excellent!

    It was a great time to spend in this camp and I hope that I can visit it once more this summer. I was only scared that I would miss some academic assignments during time I spent in the camp, but fortunately I found the good solution because need a professor to write my essays. I can share with you information concerning the writing service that helped me with my academic trouble. This agency is essaysprofessors.com that is reliable, cost-effective, and offered quality content. With their help, I was able to successfully complete my essay and get back on track with my academic career. I took it upon myself to spread the word, so that other students could benefit from the same quality service. I really think that thanks to my initiative, many students were able to step out of academic trouble and get back to focusing on their studies.

    Starlink is hit and miss, lot of trees.

    Very nice and cheap. 8 for camping, 12 with electric and 18 full hookups. That’s a great price for the view. I will definitely be back when it’s greener. Verizon is 2 bars of 4g. And Starlink is only possible in select places, as there is a lot of trees. It’s January, so I chose my spot for the internet.

    Nice trails

    Was pleasantly surprised with how much space there was at this campground. There were plenty of pit toilets around and they were very clean. The grounds offer plenty of mowed trails to walk about which we enjoyed a lot with our dogs over the weekend.

    Nice park

    Quiet, there were only a couple other campers in the whole park. Bathroom facilities adequate. Nice lake for the kids to go fishing. Lots of nice hiking trails. Park rangers are good ppl. They had a little nature center which was closed but the nice lady opened it for my kids to go in and let them hold snakes and turtles! They were so excited!
