I did not run into any of the problems recent reviews complained about. Then again, the park was sparsely occupied: maybe 30 of 120 sites. It has FHU, Wi-Fi, cable TV and a pool. We did have a problem with our dirt site. Since the low branches of the small trees brushed against the RV no matter how we positioned the RV, we asked to move over a site or two. After setting up, I discovered that I couldn't get a cable TV signal. I also tried the boxes on the sites adjacent without luck. The girl in the office insisted that she thought the system was working fine and there was no one else available to help me until the morning. I didn't feel like moving again so we went without the cable for the night. Before we left the next morning, I queried a different office girl and she admitted that they were having problems with the cable in that row. I don't appreciate it when office staff are poorly informed and the customers suffers as a result. I dropped my rating 1 point for that fiasco. There are a number of small and fairly large casinos and restaurants within walking distance of the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The gravel sites are level with small trees. The pool does look green so it would help if they repainted it. The casinos are handy and they are very nice. This is a truck stop area and there are lots of motorcycles in the campground so it can be a little noisy. Lots of stickers for your pets to step on and bring into your motorhome like most places in the west. Would be nicer if they had blacktop or cement pads and the price is high for what's here, but we would stay here again for the Casinos. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We moved here after camping at "The Bend in the Road" attending Speed Week at Bonneville Salt Flats, as we ran out of water and needed to hook up! The rate was a rip off as we were in the overflow campground with no wi-fi or cable hookup. Obviously they told us that the rate was due to it being Speed Week, and we needed facilities, so didn't have a choice. The "stickers" were so bad that our dogs couldn't step outside the RV without getting about 20 of them stuck in their paws! The dog run is tiny with no grass, just gravel and my dogs looked at me like I was insane when I took them in there. So I ended up putting them in the car and driving down the road to some waste land. The pool was an odd green color, although plenty of people were enjoying it. No shade in the area we were in and quite a few permanent residents alongside us. However, the on-site store had good supplies, with a sitting area and coffee and snacks available. The laundry area was small and VERY hot, but clean and well maintained. The showers were spacious and clean. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here one night as a stopover between Lake Tahoe and Salt Lake City. With kids, the casinos were not a priority but the pool was in the 100 degree heat! With the kids ready to hit the water, we found that the pool was filthy; it appeared that the filter had been off for a significant period of time or was broken. It was not possible to swim in it. The teenage girl at the office had no clue; said she'd leave a note for the maintenance man in the morning but didn't seem to really care (she was more interested in her boyfriend waiting in the office). The entire park was dirt and rocks. It was overpriced for what you get; we would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
After reading other reviews I was worried, but this spot turned out to be OK. The pool looks green because it is painted KOA yellow and with the blue water it looks green. I didn't use the restrooms, showers or laundry. They were still mostly out of order, but the RV spots were fine. There are trees at every spot. The park is all gravel. Big kids play area & mini golf. Staff were very helpful & the park is very close to town. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is overpriced and somewhat run down. I asked for a good place to eat and was directed to the local casino. Again, too expensive, $24.95 for the seafood buffet. Unless you like to gamble at the casinos there is really no reason to stay here. We stayed because it was late in the day, and we could not make it to Salt Lake City. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We landed at this campground passing through with no idea of the fact that it was Speed Week in Wendover. We got the last site on the lot. I would recommend calling ahead to this location for reservations especially in August! Everything was clean and nice, glad we choose it.It was close to casinos which shuttle service was provided to but we walked back on the cool August night! We camped here in a Truck Camper.
Stephanie was very nice to us when we checked in at The West Wendover KOA. There are some places that are just on the way from here to there, and most of the folks staying here are for the night only, we certainly were. Close by (9mi) is the Bonneville Salt Flats and raceway. There is also a Casino, and an air force museum (The Enola Gay team trained here.) This is a gravel campground, but the sites are very level. Wireless Internet was good from our site. P.S. During our visit - the pool really is the color shown on the web page (green). We also had many hitchhiking moths that gathered on our rig during the night. Security issue, during our stay the "Night Watchmen" booth was empty. We camped here in a Motorhome.
There is no shade at this park. It was a nice spot to stop on our travels. The laundry room was very small, the pool was ice cold. The playground was the only real kid friendly place for them to really stretch their legs. We would stay here again but only because we didn't know of anything else in between on our travel from WY to CA. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
It seems like the place is managed by remote control, but our stay was not in the busy time of the year. Yes, it's high desert gravel and stunted trees, but that's the way it is around there. There were cared-for shrubs and flowers. There are things to see in the area: Bonneville Salt Flats and the adjacent mountain drives and Wendover Airfield. We would have appreciated a little more visible security. The free WiFi is not dependable. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Lots of gravel but our site was clean and level. We had a tree at our site and that was some shade. Staff was friendly but does not live on site. Several washing machines had out-of-order signs on them. The park is right behind a casino but we did not notice any loud noise. The park was quiet at night. We would stay here again but would feel better if staff / hosts lived on site. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
There is nothing to see in Wendover so it really is just a place to spend the night. This park is old, but well maintained. Staff were friendly. There are trees but not enough to really afford much sun and it was so hot. Although they advertise WiFi, it really is not powereful enough to reach our 100 ft away as it fades in and out, so do not count on that. The one thing nice is that the Casino's provide a free shuttle service to their facilities and there are some wonderful placed to eat inside. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is the highest priced and worst KOA I have camped in. Half of the washers in the laundry room would not work. There was no trash dumpster on the campground, only a small trash can. The Recreation room was locked and empty. All sites are gravel and not very level. If you camp here use caution since the water pressure is high. I would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The front desk people were friendly and helpful. That was about the high point of the campground. Very dusty, no grass, dead trees, unlevel sites. The table was a joke and the showers were unairconditioned. When it's 104 degrees outside you can only guess what it would be like inside with no air conditioning. I will say that it's positively the best RV park in Wendover. It's the only one. It is at best someplace to park overnight and have hoopkups. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Not too impressive! No one in office when we arrived, and no answer to phone on way here! As we pulled by the office, 3 guys (workers there??) were standing behind the office drinking beer. As I pulled in to the site I picked, I saw someone unlock the office door. I went up, and it appeared high school kids were in charge. The older girl put her books down & checked me in. All I got at check-in was my receipt. Ditto the other folks comments, however with the partying going on by the office, we did not use their facilities. I would not stop again unless it was the only thing available!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Basically a gravel parking lot with a few trees and lots of dust. No grass to speak of. Have a store stocked with basics. Casino within walking distance. In April the wind was very gusty. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice friendly check in. The sites are pretty dusty and dirty but are a reasonable distance from each other given the norm for an RV Park. We camped here in a camper.
