There were a couple of things that caught my eye while staying there. One the pool was just dirty, all the walls on the lining were just down right dirty (not good impression). Second was the interesting amount of what seemed to be poison ivy growing through the chain linked fence at the pool. Third was the amount of foul language being used by certain folks towards their own children while in ear shot of other small children. Fourth was the rule of no drinks, food or smoking while in the pool area and these certain folks had their children eating and leaving chicken bones, bags of empty chips and plates throughout the pool area. I have stayed at other KOA campgrounds and they were very nice and so were the folks at Harpers Ferry. Will I ever go back.....dont think so unless certain things change. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice park close to the National Park. You pay an additional $4.00/Day resort fee to cover park amenities, including WiFi. Manager and staff are very friendly and helpful. Stayed on a 3 day internet special at a W/E site only - then had to pay $5.00 to dump when we left. The feeling of being nickeled and dimed was present. Great park for family/kids and not sure where else to stay if just visiting the NP. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here Memorial Day Weekend. We had a great time. They have one of the cleanest rest rooms we have ever seen at a campground, and this was even on a holiday weekend when they were packed to the hilt with campers. The site we had was fairly level. My only complaint was that the site given was way to small for a 32' Travel trailer with a slide. We had a hard time positioning in between the trees and had to wait for the travel trailer accross the road left so that we could get out. We couldn't even fit our truck on the same site and had to park it up front at the main office.The pool was warm and the kids had a great time swimming all weekend. They are doing a lot of improvements, and so far we are happy with what they have done. They have a great game room with a full size basketball court. We did see some huge sites just up from us that had small pop-ups or travel trailers on them. They really should be reserved for the larger units. We will definitely go back and have already made our reservations for next year. We also picked out our sites to make sure we have plenty of room to come and go. Also, even though you put a deposit down on a site, this does not guarantee a certain site. If you pay the extra $20 and for VIP, you are guaranteed your site. Has a group, only one has to pay for VIP and the rest get to enjoy the benefits of a guaranteed site. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Our site was way out of level (5"), behind the bunkhouse, by the bathrooms. There were three of us, all had made internet reservations for the KOA Care weekend & requested to be close together, we were spread all over. I called days ahead to check on our proximity & requested a relocation, but nothing was done. Thank goodness I arrived at check-in early & the friendly young ladies at front desk were able to relocate all of us within a few sites. One also explained that you really need to call to guarantee sites close together. Did have to request picnic tables for two of our sites, they were delivered quickly by friendly folks. Heated pool was nice & the kids really enjoyed the new jumping pillow. Pancake breakfast was good. We will return in July to go river tubing or rafting & picked our sites on this trip. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a big KOA right next to the National Historic District of Harpers Ferry. It has full hookups, a lot of activities, There are 280 sites some open and others in the woods with shade, 42 Kabins, 300 person conference center, indoor basketball court, game room, movie theater, pizzeria, large heated pool, wading pool. It is near the Appalachian Trail and the C&O canal and the Harpers Ferry Historic Park. Everyone was very friendly when we checked in. It is a KOA so we found it expensive but you have to know that before you check in. Nice stay just before Memorial Weekend so very quiet. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Full hookup/pull-through site is $46 plus $1.50 for a daily rate. We have a KOA Value Kard membership, so with discount plus tax = 45.42. We have a lovely pull-through site near the showers, pavilion, and office which we asked for when making the reservations. Looking back though it would have been nice to have had a little privacy with a back-in site. If we come back, we will know what the park layout is and can ask for that. The staff did an excellent job in giving us a site per our requests. Pancake breakfast is nice; you can add sausages, and coffee to rate for pancakes and have a nice breakfast. Despite the rain, the grounds are nice today. Some sites are wider than others, and ours was a nice size for the two of us. We are staying 5 nights. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was the first time we have ever RV'd or camped. The folks at KOA were very helpful, even strolled by later to make sure we were okay. The bathrooms were clean, the camp store had everything you could need. We did have issues leveling our unit because one side of our "level" site was about one foot lower then the other (a rut had formed on the downhill side of the pull-through). The waste hookup was uphill on our site, you needed a support for the waste hose in order to use it properly, so we used the restrooms on this trip. We would go back, had a great time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I stayed here for 10 days. Check in was easy and everybody was very friendly. I don't think the check in people were to familiar with site requirements for a 40' class A. I told them i need wifi and open sky for sat tv. They put me on a uneven site that was hard to get into and they had to come and cut branches off trees to get me in. When i got in it was not level and trees blocked sat signal. I went back to office and after some checking came up with a great site. As usual they had lots to do for in season stuff but being there in October things were slowing down on activities which was fine with me as I am a single rver. Even though i am a koa member I will only use koa when no other choice is available as they are always on the higher end of the price scale. Being someone that wants wifi, a patio, pool and a level site then I am happy. I can't justify the high priced parks. I gave it a six as it is a nice park but could use a little work to make it easier for big rigs. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here to tour Harper's Ferry and enjoy the Mountain Heritage Arts & Crafts Festival. The park was very busy this weekend but our stay was a pleasant one. Nice pool, game room, playground, and movie theater for the family. The site we stayed in was a bit rough and not level, so bring plenty of leveling blocks. Has a nice store, and friendly staff. We will return again next year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Visited 9/20/2008-9/21/2008. Greeter Betty was friendly and helpful. Check in was easy. Directions to site #31 was difficult to follow. Ended up on the wrong path. A guide ended up taking us to the site. I don't know what they mean by level sites but I needed 5 lego blocks and everyone in our section had large stacks of wood to level out their rigs(behind the laundry building). The campers across from us (#45?) had an unfriendly pit bull. I only have a 27' TT and a shortbed F150 and was challenged getting out of a pull-through. Someone took out a stake marking a culvert drain pipe. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Would rate a 9, but difficult to maneuver our 35-foot fifth wheel along narrow lanes with some sharp corners and pull into and out of site between trees, sign posts, and immovable trash barrels. Clean park with friendly staff. Showers and toilets clean, but not many people in the park because we were there as Tropical Storm Hanna was passing through (only rain occurred at the park). The park has many sites, a lot of things for kids to do, and planned family activies on weekends, so I suspect toilets and showers may suffer during peak occupancy. Electrical and water hookups are at front of RV and sewer connection at center (I'm not sure this applies to all sections of the park). Trees make park atractive and there's plenty of space between sites. Once we were parked, we liked being there, so we would recommend it. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

They do not have big rig sites here as advertised, when and if you can get into the site it will accommodate a big rig with 4 slides but getting into the site is a problem. All the paved roads are too narrow and there is not enough room to negotiate into the sites. We did finally maneuver into a site after trying 3 different sites. We have air leveling for our rig, although it still took much time to get level. All the sites seem to require many leveling blocks. There were cigarette butts all over our site. The management was not friendly, although we were there the day after Labor Day - maybe they were wiped out. $52/day is ridiculous even for a KOA. We will not stay here again.

Nice park but needs some improvements: 1. The WiFi signal was very weak at our spot #189. We told the KOA folks several times and other than "we'll reset it" they didn't seem to care. I asked one fellow to stop by after he reset the router to see if it helped - he never showed up. Even at a picnic table in plain view of the KOA-2 antenna the signal was weak. The KOA-1 network worked great over by the "Pancake Pavillion." 2. We were told that there was a marked trail from the campground to the Shenandoah River. It's even shown on the campground map but we found no marking whatsoever. 3. There was a tent camper near our spot who did not have electric. So he plugged his boom box into an electric outlet next to ours and turned up the volume. We were thankful for the 10 pm - 8 am quiet hours. After a few days we learned our way around Harpers Ferry. But there is very little printed information on trails and how to get around. Could use some improvement here too. We paid $6 to enter the National Historic Park (good for 3 days). The Visitor's Center is next to the KOA entrance road. You can park a big rig at the Visitor's Center and take a free bus to downtown. There is also a trail from the Visitors Center to Murphy's Farm (great view of the river) and another trail to downtown. But again, don't expect to find a map! We camped here in a Motorhome.

I think the rate was around $40 per night. This is an excellent place to stay to sightsee. The RV park is right next to the entrance to the Harper's Ferry National Battlefield with shuttle buses to the historic village, and not far from Antietam which we also toured, and Shepardstown with its shops and restaurants. Nice pool although the water was a bit murky. Our pull through spot was one that we should have unhooked before pulling through, and would ask for a shaded spot next time as we baked in the sun. Had requested one of the deluxe spots that was not worth the extra money. The patio was just stamped concrete and not very large. Extensive camp store and snackbar for lunch and pool snacks. The gal who checked us in was not very helpful, and was surprised there were not brochures on Harper's Ferry for other historical areas available at store. Laundry was large and spotless. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is nice with plenty of activities and amenities. However the sites are small and there was an issue with the sewer while we were there. It backed up into our yard and then the rest of the weekend was spent with maintenance digging in front of our RV to fix the problem. Fortunately we RV with others and used their yards the whole weekend. This won't stop us from returning though. It really was a nice, fun campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is the place to be if you are going to visit Harpers Ferry, the C.& O. Canal, or Charlestown Race Track. I selected a “Pull-Thru” site, I was escorted to my site, the first site wasn't "Big Rig" friendly and my guide promptly and nicely got me another site and led me to it and helped me park. The campground is very family friendly with movies and crafts all day long. This is the site of an actual Civil War battle and there is a museum on the premises. Now for the rough spots. The un-level gravel sites.... please for the money that we are paying I expect paved level parking pads, I also thought the sites were small. This is a very good campground. We have stayed here before and we will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have camped here several times in a pop-up, tent, and now a travel trailer. Even stayed in a cabin one night after a terrible wind storm. Staff has always been "super" helpful and very nice. Dale, the new manager, goes out of his way to be extremely accommodating to all campers. Although campground is very large, with the right placement it can be a pleasant experience.

This park is next to the Harpers Ferry Historic district. Our site was a 50 amp full hookup. It was narrow to get into, and dropped off the road, so the rear dragged. The rear wheels ran on the grass and sunk into the mud leaving deep tracks. The wifi worked only one day out of three, and that day was very slow. We were able to get satellite reception at this site but not all sites will because of the trees. For the price the sites were not in good condition and the wifi should have worked better. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I did not have a feeling of being welcome at this campground on arrival, it was all business. The brochure does not tell you about the abutting property with the kid with the motocross bike that he or she practices with when he or she gets home from school until dark. It also does not mention the permanent residents party that starts at 4:00 PM and last until whenever most every night. They finally figured out how to cut the grass on my third day there. The campsites all could use some gravel to help the mud problems. As advertised they do have 5 improved sites with cement patios at premium price. I may be a bit unfair because it had rain prior to my arrival but I feel it should have been in tip-top shape for the price, $36.00/ night, and the time of year,mid April, which is off season as far as I am concerned.

I acknowledge the difficulties for larger rigs in this place, but I can't possibly understand the 1 ratings. We visited on one of the Halloween weekends here and we enjoyed it immensely. We stayed at site 106, which I would recommend for only a popup. The rate reflects a KOA Kard discount. Our young children really enjoyed the trick or treating -- everyone really gets into the spirit! So much so that we avoided some areas, including the Haunted House, because they're just too scary. The pool is heated and still in use! The other activities for families were well attended and much enjoyed by us. But this is the kind of place that sells beer and wine in the camp store, and if that sort of atmosphere doesn't suit you, you will be offended here . . . It was quiet after 10, however, and we found everyone to be quite kind. There's even a movie theater with lots of shows for kids. We'll be back and we'll be sure to book early for another Halloween weekend! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We thought the rate was very high for just water and electric. We chose this site because of the advertising (and we verified by phone) availability of WIFI at the sites. Any campground that charges these rates and especially a KOA must have decent accommodations to be acceptable. It seemed the management had a don't care attitude. Seems people flock there anyway. No pool this time of year. Activities??? We just stayed over night. Should have found a Wal-Mart. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Right next to the National Park. Big Campground. Sites are "hammered" worn and dusty. Roads are not well marked and traffic conflicts are frequent. Big rigs have difficulty maneuvering into the sites. Lots of Staff mostly sitting around the office. Decided against staying over another night even though there are a lot of activities recognizing the anniversary of John Browns raid this weekend. Campers are discourteous, and leave trash in the fireplaces which has not been collected by the staff. Can't imagine what this place must be like during the height of the summer season.

As mentioned by previous reviewers, the roads and sites in this campground are very narrow. The design and placement of the roads with respect to the sites and the trees wasn't done with a great deal of thought. As a result, RV'ers with rigs greater than 35 feet or so must use extreme caution when driving to and from their site, as they will be forced to navigate sharp turns while avoiding the toads of other RV'ers which have been (by necessity) parked very close to the roadway. After arriving at your site, you will most likely find it to be unlevel in addition to being narrow. Moreover, many of the sewer connections are slightly uphill from the site (more poor planning) and the sewer access pipe is not threaded (requiring the use of a donut). On the positive side, the staff is very nice and helpful, the facilities are clean, the WiFi is free (if you can get on), and the pool area is very nice. For the price, however, we expected more (i.e., wider roads, level sites, etc.). Our rate ($46) reflects the more expensive pull-through sites, which are the only sites in this campground with 50 amp service. If we're in this area again, we would stay here again only if there were no other options available to us. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We arrived after the office staff had gone (they left at six pm, we arrived at 7:30pm). They had left a list of sites available for those of us without reservations. Unfortunately they left no maps and we were left wandering very narrow roads trying to read number markers which were only on the BACK of the poles. No signs unless you had already started down a road, no signs visible from the parking/registration area. Very narrow roads with drop offs of several inches, very tight turns, difficult to navigate with a large MH. Sites decent sized, lots of trees. Literature given at registration (next morning) still had no maps and I found out after returning to my MH that it was also a Good Sam park and they did not ask if I were a member to get the discount. Free, reliable WIFI, nice sized pool. Would return for a longer visit. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Just needed an overnight stop. The park was really crowded, so we felt fortunate to get any site at all since other parks on our route couldn't take us. Very friendly staff and decently stocked camp store. WiFi couldn't be accessed since so many others were online already by the time I tried. No cable on our back in site near the cabins, also these sites were really crowded. Pull through sites looked pretty decent though. Lots of activities going on for the weekend. The pancake breakfast gets a "thumbs up" from our group. We'd probably stay here again, but would definitely try for another site. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had a great weekend in Harpers Ferry. We love this area and as far as we know, this is the best campground in the area. We were not happy with the site sizes. Many of the sites are too narrow and most of the RV sites in our area could not accommodate the RV and the tow vehicles. Tow vehicles were squeezed in so tight, it was hard to drive around in my Tahoe, much less get an RV through. The WiFi was completely unavailable all weekend which caused major concerns for me and my needs for that particular weekend. When I asked about it at the camp store, I was told it's was a hit or miss kind of thing. Please don't advertise Internet access unless it is reliable! The staff was very friendly and other than the site size and WiFi...we love this camp ground. We will camp here again (although not in the smaller sites!) We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We had a very nice weekend. The facilities are in good repair. Restrooms/showers adjacent to the office/store were remodeled since our last visit. Pool was very nice. Many of the W-E-S sites behind the office are very close together. We saw several that could not put out their awnings due to close proximity of neighbor's trailers. Looks like greed on the owners part to fit as many as they can into limited space. Watch for the tight turns. We witnessed a set of big bus wheels come within a few inches of a tent on the corner. Scary! Shirtless drunk guys, carrying open Bud Light cans in the office at 9:30AM..no one said a word. Very busy weekend. We will return in off season We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I stay here often, despite the $49 charge. Huge swimming pool. Great location. Mostly shady sites. Easy access to Frederick MD, Metro Station (Red Line) in Gaithersburg, Charles Town racetrack & gambling. The BEST dining is in nearby Shepardstown WV, the Bavarian Inn & the Yellow Brick Bank, both gourmet 5 star restaurants. Beer is sold in the KOA store, but how can that offend anyone?

We love this campground, particularly when the pool is open. They always have plenty of activities. We stayed here for Father's day weekend and were unaware of the music festival. While we enjoyed the experience, the crowd became rowdy later in the afternoon. I would suggest additional security for this event. As I have written before, there are few sites that can accommodate large rigs and maneuvering through the narrow roads can be a challenge. Most of the sites are not level. On this visit we had a nicely shaded site. Despite the negatives, the staff is always friendly and helpful and we enjoy Harper's Ferry. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for 2 nights and had a terrific time. Our site was #168 and was one of the larger sites. The pool was clean and large. My only complaint would be they do not have a lifeguard on duty. They have a giant bounce pillow, that my 3 kids loved. It cost $2 or $7.50 for the day. The game room was huge with many games and pool tables, they have an indoor basketball court which was nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Their was a lady Diana who was specifically assigned to kids and activities and she was wonderful. Quiet hours were 10pm-8am and it was quiet.

This was our second visit to this campground. It is less than 30 minutes from home and provides a quick weekend get away. We camped during Mother's Day weekend and received the second night free as part of the KOA package. I booked a premium pull-through site in January. When we arrived at our site it was not what I had reserved and it was extremely unlevel and small for our 40 ft motorhome. I called the office and spoke with the manager, who advised there were no other sites available that could accommodate our motorhome. The manager and his wife were most gracious in trying to resolve the matter and provided a partial refund. We really do love this camp ground. It is clean and the weekend is packed with with wonderful activities. The only complaint I have is that they do not have enough sites to accommodate larger rigs. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The site we were assigned in the 50 amp area was fine, however, we had to make a turn on an inside street where people had to move their vehicles for us and it was so tight a woman was wringing her hands in fear we would hit an RV. I had to get out of our motorhome and guide my husband foot by foot to make sure we did not hit any other RVs or cars. When registering we asked at the office if we should unhook our car but they said we didn't need to. In our stays at RV parks, this was the most difficult turn we have ever had to make. Simply for this reason, we would not stay at this campground again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were in a 38 ft motor home in the 50 amp/cable sites area, and all the sites are very un-level. We had a very difficult time getting level, I asked for help from the RV park and they did send someone who helped, but we were surprised they would put large RV's in such un-level sites. Since they were full we were stuck, stay with wheels in the air or go to another park. If you have a big rig and you want 50 amp and cable this is not the place to go. They also did not give us any maps or cable channel info. We would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a nice enough site for visiting the area. The spaces were rather close together and the facilities seemed a little dated from the outside. We would stay again, but might want to avoid the warmer months where it could be much more crowded. The roads leading into the sites were very narrow and somewhat difficult to maneuver. The staff was okay, not particularly friendly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped here in a travel trailer and were very excited about our site (50). The site had all amenities including a concrete patio which came in very handy as it rained non-stop during our three night stay. Close proximity to historic landmarks as well as the Charlestown attractions. The campground store was very nice and we loved the two dollar all you can eat pancakes on Saturday and Sunday mornings, the hosts even gave our dog a free pancake and sausage link each morning. Overall, the rain was a damper but we had all the amenities of being at home so we made the best of it and would return again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Overall a nice park. Many cabin rentals and amenities for children, so you have to understand there will be the more then usual noise that comes with them. Some sites can be tight or a bit unlevel, although there are many which appear superb. All sites could use either more gravel or grass to prevent so much mud around camp though. My only complaint was the security vehicle which travels through the camp roads consistently after quite hours with it's lights on well past midnight. It did become annoying to hear the war-wagon with its lights on go by every 15 minutes or so. We'd probably camp here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here over the 4th of July weekend. They had many activities throughout our stay, including crafts and a live band. The Activities Director did a great job. We had a premium pull-thru site. It wasn't as level as we would have liked, but it had a concrete patio that was very nice. It also lacked some much needed shade. There was a very large pool where we spent most of our time. It could have been cleaner, but given the amount of campers that weekend I can understand how difficult it was to maintain. Overall it was a pleasant experience and we would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had a great time at this campground. We were here on a holiday weekend, so it was a little crowded. The sites are somewhat close together, but they are shaded. Our site was backed up against a trench that was from the Civil War. They actually have a little trail you can follow with signs posted along the way. We thought that was neat plus it gave us more privacy. We would definitely go back to this campground. Plus there is so much to do in the general area. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Nice gift store and conference center. Excellent access to HF National Park. Most sites are somewhat level with some gravel. Roads are very narrow with very tight turns. Most sites are very short and do not provide adequate room to park tow vehicle after setting up a trailer or fifth wheel. Trash cans are provided throughout the park with frequent trash pick-ups. Dumpsters are almost impossible to drive to with a trailer attached. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great location if you want to see Harpers Ferry. New big rig sites are not level and the roads are very tight . I was told the park is under new management so there is potential for improvement . Park employees were very nice and helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Other than being in a historic place, this campround is not all that special if your camping in an RV. If you are tent camping, I could see you might have a better time. The RV sites are level but muddy when it rains, not to mention they are close to each other. You can hear traffic from route 340 all night long. The bathrooms and showers were clean. The staff members were kind of nasty with us, and if you forget something I would recommend that you go a few miles into the Charles Town Walmart cause the campstore is VERY high prices. We also stayed in their lodges and we not impressed for the $135 a night we paid for them. Not to mention they are located right near the septic field. We will not be staying at this campground anymore. We will find a state park before going to another KOA. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was our third time camping here. It is one of our favorite campgrounds to visit because it has all one could ask for in a campground. History, amenities, beauty, and spaciousness. The staff is friendly and helpful, the campstore is adequately supplied (even in November), and there's the historical town of Harpers Ferry, just minutes away from the CG. The reason I didn't give it a 10 was the fact that it did not have cable or WiFi, other then that this CG is one of our favorite places to camp. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Overall, a very nice campground. Kids will really like all the activities and games, adults will like the surrounding area which is very scenic and historic. If you like, you could walk (15-20 minutes) to the nearby Harpers Ferry National Park and hop on the shuttle to Harpers Ferry. I had a really strong WiFi signal while there...the campground does not advertise WiFi so I suspect someone who lives nearby has an open router...a nice bonus. Pros: location of the park, lots of activities for the kids, friendly staff, quaint Civil War museum on the CG, lots of big rig parking in front of the park office, really nice camp store. Cons: most sites are quite small and the park is NOT very big-rig friendly. We drive a 40 foot DP and it was TIGHT...there was a 43 and a 45 footer there also, so you can get in and out but be careful! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We picked this site due to its proximity to several historical landmarks and we were not disappointed. The campground becomes quite busy after 4 PM so get there early. This park is a short haul for the DC metro area. The sites are not gravel or paved so when it rains it gets muddy. Overall a good site on the fringe of Washington DC.

We found this to be a nice campground and we would definitely stay here again. I requested a pull through, wooded, level site and got everything requested. Sites are very tight and very packed together. If you have a big rig you'd have a hard time getting in and out. I would highly suggest requesting a site away from the septic processing facility. It's loud, ugly and smells bad. They had a nice pool, camp store, rec room, indoor basketball court, and mini civil war museum to name a few. They have a family movie in an indoor air conditioned theater once a day. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great location, all the right facilities, but very tight manuevering for long rigs. Some sites VERY un-level, especially at entrance (woops! there goes everything in the fridge!). Evidence of heavy water flow through some sites. Quiet hours NOT enforced, especially near cabin sites. Facilities clean, activiely working on grounds. Lovely overlook of sewer plant if site near registration. Expensive for what you get. (2 adults/2 kids/2 dogs EWS) We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great area for a campground. To bad my site was waterfront property. Did I mention it wasn't supposed to be. It didn't rain before or during my stay but my site was nothing but mud. Sites not level, staff could be freindlier. Will not go again unless major changes to the condo drainage happen. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I really love this park but a new policy really has my back up. If you bring your dogs, be prepared! They have instituted a fee of $3 per dog per day! Also, your children are $3.50 per child per day. So, for a weekend the cost rises another $26 for my children and my dogs. We are planning on visiting this park in July 05 and that may be the last time! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The campground was expensive for the area and was not accesable for larger rigs without
problems. The roads are narrow and hard to navigate. The extra charges are excessive, $3 per pet no matter what kind and extra charges for children. The quiet hours were not enforced. The museum onsite and the state park right next door were the only redeeming qualities. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The staff seems very confused and unorganized. The sites are very close together. A few wooded sites and may open sites with little shade. Requested a wooded site, but told there were none. However 4 - 10 sites open the whole week I was there. Little to no gravel on the sites. On the week I was there we had a lot of rain. Due to lack of gravel, most of the non-wooded sites were 6 - 10 inches deep in mud or became ponds. Many of the units were stuck in the mud and required to be towed or pulled out with 4 wheel drives. Roads to the sites very narrow and hard to negoatite with larger units. Bathrooms were clean. Nice gym and game room. $3.50 per night per child. For a KOA, I felt that the sites were below par. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park needs some work. The sites are very small, right on top of each other and in poor condition. They are very rough and rutted. The activities are next to none. The staff were very unfriendly, both on the phone and in person. The fees are 39.95 a night and an additional 3.50 per child after that. That means my family of four cost 46.95, and there was nothing provided for the large fee. We went in May of 2003, and the only thing that I really enjoyed was the location. This could be a nice stay with some work........ We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
