This is a great stop over. Only thing around the area and the staff is wonderful. Laundry was easy to use. I would recommend this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We went into this park with reservations....and left loving it! I am so glad we stayed here. Several things made our stay enjoyable. The first is the people...both the staff running the place and the year-round residents. The staff was helpful, professional, and competent. The residents were friendly and welcoming to us. The park itself is spotless, with beautiful flowers everywhere. There is a nice, air conditioned, recreation room, open to overnight guests. And a great pool, with sun and shade and lounge chairs. We will stay here again when we are in the area....and Sequoia and Kings Canyon is very do-able from here. A good place. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Clean. Quiet. Friendly. Pool (unheated). Wide paved streets. One pet rule. Park appears to be in transition. Many original older double and single wide mobiles. Looks like as original owner sites open up they are either sold or rented to RVers. Good location for jumping off to lots of other actvities including Giant Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Good restaurants. Historic downtown. Golf. Bark Park nearby. Stayed 10 days. Didn't like unheated pool and a few permanent resident don't keep up their sites and trailers. Would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a quiet, well-maintained park. It used to be entirely a MH park, but as MH lefts, they opened it up to RV's. Since we were only staying overnight, we were put in an area designed just for overnighters since although there were sites with concrete patios and grass, we were on asphalt squeezed in right next to one another. There was no cable (not working at the time in our area), but we got several channels on the antenna. We would stay here again if we need a site for the night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were reluctant to come here with the words "mobile home" in the name, but were pleasantly surprised. It's an older park with mostly permanent mobile homes, but some spaces for travelers like us (127 total, 38 available to travelers). Very neat and well maintained facility, with level cement sites. Well landscaped grounds, with nice pool. Quiet park near shopping and downtown. About an hour drive from Sequoia National Park. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We arrived about 4PM on Christmas day, understandably the office was closed. We used the "late check-in" option and filled out the registration. We had a 50 amp pull-through, the rate was $51.40. If we had not had a long hard day of driving we would have continued on to somewhere else. The cable TV did not work well, very snowy picture; as no one in the office we were not able to get the password for the wifi; there was a bad smell around our site. Not sure if the smell is sewer or wet leaves but it is not pleasant. The price is much too high for this park, it should be about $35 if the cable worked and you could use the wifi. We will not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park was just OK. I didn't think the area was dumpy as some previous posters did. However, the sites are dirt/gravel and tend to get muddy from the inground sprinklers. Do not bother getting a site with cable, as only three channels come in good. We used our antenna and got more channels with better reception. The office closes from noon to three every day. Not a bad base camp to see the national parks, but next time we might try somewhere else as they are all pretty much priced the same. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Stayed at this campground last minute. Close to Visalia and the 99 freeway. The grass was a little dead but it was the end of summer, There were long term RV'ers and overnighters. Nice pool and they had a store too. Nice hosts and not a bad place for a weekend. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very clean, very well tended park. We enjoyed our stay of 2 months in a large site with lots of grass. The management was very friendly and helpful. We will certianly stay here again when we are in the area. I recommend this park very highly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Previous review was right on. It's a fine place for a night or two, if you have a reason to be in the area, but there's nothing to do here outside of relaxing in your own rig. (You can drive to Sequoia National Park, of course, but there are RV parks in Three Rivers which is 33 miles closer.) This is a standard KOA: well-run, nice little store, playground for the kids and all. WiFi is good and strong but make sure you tell them at checkin you want to use it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great spot for an overnight. (It's easy to miss the turn...watch for it.) Shady level spots, clean showers, strong and reliable wifi. The staff was friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Couple of issues here. I booked this KOA after reading how it's labeled "Fresno South." Shame on me, I thought that meant it was near Fresno. The park is actually in a dumpy area of Visalia, which is about 47 miles south of Fresno. After checking in, unhooking, then driving to Fresno and Clovis, I realized it was too far away from the tournment we were involved in. I made it back to the KOA, hooked back up and boondocked in Fresno because there was NOTHING in Fresno worth even looking at. With that said, the staff was very pleasant and understanding. Although they did not refund that first night (I left at about 9pm after "staying" there two-three hours, they did cancel and refund the second night I had reserved. Additionally, I got a nice hand-written letter in the mail at home from the Managers offering a 20% discount on a future stay. For the little time we were there, the park itself was clean and quiet. Not really busy, but the playground did appear to be under repair. Everything worked as far as we could tell. Bottom line: Do not stay here if you have business in Fresno as it's too far away. Staff is fine and park would be good if you're staying in the Visalia area. Neighborhood is a dump. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Not the greatest neighborhood but generally a sufficient CG. Access was easy for a 40'; quiet; cat loved to watch the groundhogs. Easy access to Sequoia, etc. Would certainly select this one again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
If only. I've said this to my wife on several occasions. If you could pick this park up and move it someplace else. If only this park were in a different location. The neighborhood is pretty sketchy. But as far the park goes, the spaces are very spacious and are nicely shaded with very mature oak trees. The staff was very friendly. The WiFi was probably the strongest/fastest connection we've ever encountered in a campground. The cable selection left a lot to be desired. This is in a convenient spot for traveling up/down CA99 or to visit nearby Sequoia. This is just the kind of park that you feel bad giving a lower rating. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not a bad place to camp to see the National Parks. The price is a bit on the high side. Only 14 channels on the cable tv. Staff was nice and the place was clean. Industrial Visalia is expanding close to the campground but I didn't find it a deal breaker. We would probably stay here again when revisiting the parks. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were there one night on our way from the Northwest back to Texas. It's conveniently located for that trip, but a bit hard to find in Visalia. Staff was pleasant, there's a nice store and it had shade (a very big deal in drought-ridden California). Didn't use restrooms or showers, but the park itself is well-kept. A bit pricey, but they have a monopoly out there in the middle of nowhere. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Decent KOA, typical, friendly check-in. My main problem with the 5 rating is the neighborhood feels like a ghetto. Probably would not stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park. Everything was clean and neat, and it looked like they were adding on. We had a nice shade tree to keep the sun at bay, which was nice since it seemed rather warm for June. Great place to stay if your heading to the great Sequoia National Park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice park. Gravel sites with some shade. Pool is clean, but can fill up quickly if the park is full. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very friendly staff members - and a clean park with nice facilities. Near a cattle yard but not an issue although the breeze did bring in a few whiffs. The pool was nice for the kids. The only detractor is the neighborhood you drive through is a bit trashy but the campground itself is nice and clean and feels safe. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We full time, so we stay at a lot of parks. This is one of the better ones. It is obvious that the management cares about the park and keeps it in good shape. The water is drinkable, the wi-fi is great most of the time and the sites have a lot of room for slide outs and awnings. Nice grass at the sites and big shade trees. The pool looks nice, thought it is closed until the weather warms up. We would definately stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
As hard as the owners try, and they do, this facility is just not up to the average standards of a quality RV Park. In addition, when the wind blew from the wrong direction, we had to close all windows, and doors because of the foul smell from the pens near by that housed cattle waiting to be slaughtered. It was totally over whelming. Sadly, this park was the only place we found in the Fresno area that was not a converted mobile park, but next time we will look much harder to find a better one somewhere in the area.. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice family oriented campground. It has improved over the last couple of years due to the new owners. Trains can be heard, but are 1/2 mile away. The staff is friendly and the park is pet friendly with an off-the-leash dog run. There are lots of shade trees and grass. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Campground was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The laundry room was clean and had new machines. Our motorhome site was wide and we had lots of room for slide outs and for our pets. This campground is pet friendly and well as family oriented. Location was convenient for going to the Sequoia National Park. We would camp there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The campground was in need of repair. 2 out of 3 showers in the woman's restroom were out of order. Trains traveled by the campground all night long, blowing their whistles, making it difficult to sleep. When making my reservation the woman on the telephone was very polite. I would not stay here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This KOA campground is a great "base-camp" for the Central Valley. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and we would definitely stay at this park again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Nice base for checking out Sequoia, Kings Canyon and Yosemite. Power was rock solid even though they were in the middle of a heat wave of record proportions and every AC in the place ran about 16 hours per day. Park was clean but dusty due to the heat/drought. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very friendly and attentive staff. Some areas of campground in process of being developed/upgraded. Sparkling pool. Plan to camp there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a pretty good KOA. They cater a lot to families, and there seemed to be a lot of things for children to do. The main thing that we liked is that it is well-located to stay overnight on that long trek up or down the San Joaquin Valley. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
