Clean but Outdoorsy
We love staying in the yurts. Peaceful. Like camping with amenities. Has fire or wood! Rain doesn’t bother us here. Stay as often as we can when available.

Nice place
Trails were never nicely marked and well cleared. Good size spaces and distance between each camper.

Mountain Lake Campground and Cabins
Nice campground but….
We camped here for 3 nights the campground is very large with multiple nice playgrounds for children, hiking trails frisbee golf, miniature golf, a beach lake access and other things I’m sure I’m not aware of I did walk a hiking trail and it was nice. There are lots of trees so as fall approaches it will be a beautiful area. The cons most sites are not level at all, there is one single bath house for each level making some sites very far from a bathroom/shower, the showers are very rough we checked 2 different bath houses both the same . Bathrooms also are cleaned only once per day per a post telling the cleaning times however the men’s facility was dirty and with out paper towels up until the day we left. It is pet friendly that is a big plus for us since we have no kids with us now but 2 fur babies. However we were unaware you need their rabies certificate with you there was no mention of this when I booked the site we have stayed lots of places and have never been asked for that before thankfully they allowed me to contact the vet Monday morning to get them emailed. Overall a nice stay

It's ok. Site 44
Very unlevel spot. Not sure if they are all like this, but it's a big ugh... trash pick up is 1/day & 1 bag of trash 🤦🏼‍♀️
Wifi is non existent! Tried connecting TV to it and connected with no internet. So, hotspotted my cell phone and showed a internet connection, but very slow. Yeah yeah ...I know we're camping ,but it is 95° outside and the sun is shining all over us...hopefully after sunset?

Flatwoods KOA
Nice and convenient
We were searching for a quite place to stay. Typically we like dispersed camping but after not finding much in the area we splurged for this KOA. We were pleasantly surprised it was quite empty. Checking was a breeze. We even were able to change our site. Our 3 dogs and us had an entire row to ourself. Clean bathrooms and showers. Well maintained grounds. Very friendly campers.
