Jackson KOA

We go in early in the afternoon after traveling from Madison WI.  

The KOA seemed alright but I was very disappointed in the long term/ Full time RVs parked there.  Some were alright but a couple of pretty dumping ones.  

  

They were not full and I can understand the reason.  

  

The facilities seemed to be well maintained.  The pool and playground were very nice and the sites we stayed around were fine.  It was just those few trailers that gave it that run downed feeling. If they took care of those even made them clean the area around them and wash them it  would go up a star or 2.

  

The internet was iffy again and I guess we will just have to live with that though I did expect more from a KOA.

  

That night they did have live entertainment but we did not know about it until they started to play.  It was locals I think that lived there and was like a jam session.

Alright but not the best for a KOA

In the COVID-19 times we found this campground to be clean and easy to distance.  Bathrooms/showers had a fan blowing and window open and the site we had ( #9) had a male tree for afternoon/early evening shade.  We unloaded our bikes and enjoyed the bike trails that encircle and go through Jackson.  Our neighbor had a leak in his outside shower that was noticed by the maintenance man.  He turned off the water and upon the camper’s return, helped him fix his leak.  Recycling available and besides your picnic table, there’s a covered dining area by the pool with a gas grill.

We stopped here for 2 nights on our way to South Dakota. The park is small, but very well maintained, and man, literally every person there was INCREDIBLY nice! I met the previous owner of the park and his wife, and told about some cool things to do in the area including the Jeffers Petroglyphs, a fort in the town of Jackson, and the town from Little House on the Prairie. 

Our site was level, easy to get into, and had a nice tree providing some shade. Water pressure was good, no issues with electric. One thing I noticed that I thought was really cool was they had a good sewer hose at the dump station for guests to use so they didn’t have to dig theirs out. That is the kind of thought the owners put into the experience at their park. Simple, nice perks that make the experience just that little bit extra good, and there were things like that throughout the park.

There is a small grocery store about 5 mins south of the park, a Burger King right across the street, and a few gas stations. New Ulm is about an hour away and well worth the visit! Cool little downtown area with lots of history, great restaurants, and cool shops.
