ScoutAvoid this KOA at all costs– bed bugs and dishonest management. Our stay at the Emmett KOA was a nightmare. The cabin we rented was infested with bed bugs. When we brought it up, the owner flat-out lied and told us they hadn’t had bed bugs in“over 13 years.” That was absolutely false. There are multiple reviews on here already citing bed bug issues, and staff members themselves admitted to us that it has been an ongoing problem. Even the pest control company they claimed to use confirmed they’ve been battling bed bugs here. Instead of taking responsibility, management hid behind their ridiculous 14-day cancellation policy and refused to refund our second night(which we didn’t stay for obvious reasons). Their“solution” was insulting: a 20% discount for a future stay(as if anyone would want to come back!) and a handful of quarters so we could attempt to kill the bugs in our belongings using their dryer. The dishonesty from Toni and her father is appalling. Any business that knowingly lies to its customers about a health and cleanliness issue this serious has no integrity. Bed bugs are not a minor inconvenience– they spread, they infest, and they follow you home. We left disgusted and disappointed, and I strongly recommend avoiding this campground if you value your health, honesty, or basic respect as a paying customer.

GuideVery pretty park. Sites and facilities are well maintained.
Sites tend to slope towards Sand Lake so have leveling blocks if that's important to you.
ScoutWe really enjoyed our cabin. The people were very nice. I like the putt putt course and the bouncing pillow
TravelerRight off the highway. Clean. $69/night for a pad with power. We have a pop up tent and a utility trailer. Nice pool. Showers and sitewide wifi. Would have rated a 5 but the price seems high for a tent.
TravelerA nice, small, rustic campground with a lake access
TravelerYou need to know that this place is so so clean! The grounds, the sites, the bathrooms and the showers are all impeccable. It is true we were there in the middle of the week, but I’ve stayed at plenty of places during the week where things have been less than desirable. Everyone was most pleasant and helpful and the view of the lake was beautiful. If the campground had been full we probably would not have been able to see the lake from our site.
ScoutThe store staff and lifeguards were great! My disappointments:
* 5:30 PM We were in our screened in porch when a golf car blaring rap music was cleaning out all the fire pits. Maintenance crew did not treat guests with respect.
* Grounds teams were cleaning up sites, again loud work due to closing down.
* Internet was completely down due to"an electrician accidentally cut the wires". They were not planning on fixing this for the season.
* Slides were closed or not working (due to wind, though there was VERY little wind), even the lifeguards were hard pressed to give us that answer. It was obvious they did not want to run them the last week they were open.
* Pool heater was broken and they were not going to fix it, it was too cold to swim. The pool stayed empty.
* The mini gold course was torn up in several places. The ponds and water areas were not working. Entire course has been neglected. Golf clubs are beaten up. My two 10 year old grandchildren were bored, we played board games. I was so disappointed!
The campground was closing the water sports, it was the last week open. Earlier season may be better, though the gold course was real bad.
ScoutThis is such a nice park and we really do love it, however due to quiet time not being followed, we are going to find a new one next year. Two years in a row we have not been able to sleep more than a couple of hours. This year a large group next to us had flood lights shining on our tent until 3 in the morning both nights along with loud music. No one was available to enforce the quiet hours and the lack of sleep ruined our trip. We love everything else about this place and they keep it very clean.
