We were in the walnut loop, spot 52 and it was awesome. Plenty of room and the site backs up to the lake so we could walk a path from our site to the lake to fish.

The KOA is clean and well maintained. There is lits of space for the pull throughs. Dog park is amazing, host are friendly and kind. They are very welcoming and the store is small, but clean with a little bit of everything for everyone! We will definitely be back!

TravelerThe Vineyards Campground & Cabins
Disappointing and unnecessarily confrontational experience.
I booked and paid for a campsite at The Vineyards in my self-contained Sprinter camper van. I checked in without issue and had already spent one night there when the park manager, Lisa, approached me while I was relaxing inside my van to inform me that my vehicle was not welcome.
She stated that the city requires RVs to have hookups and be commercially manufactured. However, the campground’s published policies explicitly allow management to approve converted camper vans (and I am fully self-contained). It also allows for truck campers, which I suppose theoretically could have sewer hookups, but I assure you my custom converted Sprinter is more aesthetic than a truck camper, if that was her concern (no offense to my truck camper friends).
I also could not find the city ordinance she was referring to.
I understand that campgrounds have rules and that management has discretion to enforce them. What I don’t understand is why my reservation was accepted, why I was allowed to stay overnight, or why the situation needed to be handled so confrontationally.
When I offered to leave if they would refund my unused second night, Lisa told me it was too late for a refund and that I might as well stay.
So apparently my van was prohibited until refunding my money became the alternative.
I wasn’t causing a disturbance, requesting special accommodations, or asking to use facilities I hadn’t paid for. I was simply enjoying a campsite I’d reserved and paid for.
The campground itself is lovely, which makes the experience even more disappointing. A straightforward, respectful conversation about their policies would have been entirely reasonable. Instead, I was made to feel unwelcome at a place where I was already a paying guest.
If you’re traveling in a self-contained converted camper van, I’d strongly recommend getting written approval before booking, regardless of whether your reservation is accepted. And given that I am now reading other complaints of the staff being rude, I might avoid this spot altogether.

Hidden Cove Park & Marina
Great for first-timers and families
I stayed at Hidden Cove Park for 1 night in February with 2 kids. Overall, this spot is really nice. The campsites are clean, spacious, and close to the lake. You can walk right down and fish from the bank, and the views are calm and peaceful. Although the wind was so strong, we didn’t get much fishing done.
The setup is convenient too. There’s a water spigot at the site, a picnic table, nearby bathrooms that were decently clean, and a trash dumpster close by.
Privacy is the biggest downside. The campsites are pretty close together, so you’re definitely gonna see and hear your neighbors. I had some loud neighbors and had to ask them to turn the music down. Then at 12:01 AM… the same folks fired up an electric saw to cut firewood, which definitely messed up my rest. Not really the park’s fault, but the layout doesn’t provide much separation, so your experience depends a lot on who’s around you.
For those wondering about cost, it’s$25/night, which is a good deal for the amenities. But parking is another$20. I don’t understand that, but OK. With fees, my total came to about$70, plus another$5–6 for firewood.
Since the parking lot is nearby, you’ll see headlights shining through at night when cars pass. Not a dealbreaker, just something to know.
On the flip side, being close to the parking lot is actually good and the 2–3 minute walk made hauling gear easier.
No bugs at all while I was there. It was too windy to fish, but the kids still had a great time. There’s also a basketball court, volleyball area, and a hiking trail.
The restaurant was closed, which wasn’t a big deal, but would’ve been nice. They do sell firewood at the front for a good price.
I also love that it’s only 15 minutes from home, but it feels like a world away. That alone makes it a great little reset spot.
This is a great place for first-time campers, families, or even solo trips when you just need to get away for a bit.

Private sites.
Stayed in the Lakeside Loop. Very private patio areas. Large park. Pay close attention to site lengths. No margin for error. Swim beach, multiple boat ramps, perch pond and lots of day sites.
