Great staff, extremely clean campsites, relatively quiet in the early winter, and fall. I'm probably quite busy in the summer. Good pull through spots propane, wood, etc for sale. The cabins look fantastic, and the restrooms are cleaned and sanitized regularly. Some of the fixtures are dated but everything works quite well, overall an absolutely fantastic KOA.

Adequate or a bit more. 3.5 stars would be more accurate --a B-

This KOA exceeded our expectations! We had a grassy site for our tents, and the grass was soft so we didn’t need our sleeping pads. We were looking forward to the pool, but it was closed due to electrical issues - it happens, no big deal. We loved the ice cream social ($1 a scoop, they offered 6 flavor options, chocolate syrup and sprinkles). There’s a nice shaded seating area, laundry room, and food services. We only ordered fries but they were delicious and they deliver right to your site. Waffles in the morning were very good!! Bathrooms were clean - 3 toilet stalls, 3 shower stalls, and 4 sinks. We would stay here again and highly recommend. The owners and all the staff we came in contact with were very sweet.

Not one of the best KOA we've ever been to but good enough to stay for a night or so when in this part of Arco. The sites do not have privacy fence or hedges but it does have a picnic table. There is a cafe on site where you can call your order and get delivered to your site. This park has laundry, small convenience store, pet wash, pet playground and they sell firewood and propane. They have 50 amp full hook up, 30 amp full hook up, water and electric sites water only site, tent sites and camping cabins.
