This is an amazing place to stay. The staff are so knowledgeable, friendly, engaging, and kind. You can hear the highway from the site. But that is overlooked when hot fresh pizza and wings get delivered to your site. Nothing better after an 8 hour drive. Delicious!! We will always stay here on our way north and south!!!

We stopped here on a trip home from Florida and it was such a nice little campground! Super cute with lots of trees and vegetation and the staff were all very kind and helpful. The pizza and wings were quite good (we did the thin crust) and the coffee in the morning was spectacular! Saved us from dishes on our quick overnight stop. The wine bar also looked very cute and inviting, though we didn't... We stopped here on a trip home from Florida and it was such a nice little campground!

The phone booth give a book, take a book library was adorable! We were also visited at our campfire by one of the local rodent control, Cooper! We'll definitely be back the next time we are in the area.

I booked a last minute camp site so I could cut my long drive in half. The weather had taken a drop into a colder than normal temperatures so I was dreading setting up my tent in the cold, dark evening. When I walked in to check in for the evening I was greeted with warm smiling faces. The staff soon informed me that due to the less than ideal camping conditions in they had upgraded me to a small...

Great experience. Stopped in for coffee on our road trip, and we were a little skeptical at first since we didn't have much experience with KOAs. That said we had a great stop, good coffee and pizza, and are now considering looking into other KOA locations for future trips. The ladies here were super helpful and you could tell they were big promoters of the area.

The people are super nice and accommodating from the office staff to the escorts who helped us back into our sight after dark. The pizza and wings were great and a nice change from going out or cooking after a long day driving. The bathhouse was modern and very clean. Will definitely stay again on our travels through as it’s right off 95 and very friendly.
