Beware of bedbugs in the cabins! We had a great trip making great memories here! Unfortunately, we made some bad memories too. We rented a cabin here for the weekend. My wife and I woke up covered in bites. We checked our clothing and bedding and found bedbugs once we got home, after realizing these were not flea bites. I've never experienced bed bugs so I was ignorant to the signs. I called to report the incident and the lady on the phone just seemed rushed and bothered by my call. No empathy, no apology, no how can we help, just I'll let management know and have a good day. Our house is now to be chemically treated, our Navigator chemically treated and I am spending the day resisting the urge to scratch my bump covered body at the laundromat. Good day indeed. I hope everyone reading this has a better result than us, just wanted to spread the word so no one else has to experience this. The activities and location are great, especially trick or treating with the kids. I just can not recommend their cabins.

Overall I would say the weekend was a positive experience. However, with so many empty sites the weekend we were there, it would have been nice to be placed in a site that wasn't purely mud (many sites with grass were empty). The staff is extremely nice and helpful with anything you may need, and there are a lot of fun things for the kids like a playground, water slide, and basketball and volleyball courts. There were also activities throughout the weekend for the kids, and I believe they change it up a bit each weekend. Pets are allowed for an additional fee, and must be kept on a leash/lead. They do, however, have a small fenced in dog park area to let them off the leash and run around a bit. There is a snack shack they has free pancakes in the morning, and have various other offerings throughout the day like hot dogs and pretzels. Lastly, the swimming area is now just a big sand area, not sure if you're even allowed in there or not.

Very nice folks and shop owners. Very accommodating. They rent out bikes for kids, row boats, paddle boats, and a few other things for 8 bucks for a half hour, which I think is a great price. With how hot it was when we were there, it was very unlikely we would have lasted longer than a half hour lol. They were also more than willing to offer refunds, trades etc for when complications arose which affected our ability to use the amenities they offer. We traded one service for a bundle of wood which was actually very nice of them. The location was also perfect for beer runs and getting food, snacks, etc. And the park was very well cared for and hazards for kids were addressed very steadfast. Overall, even though the park was a little more kid oriented than I would have preferred, it was the time I got to spend with my family that was the most cherished part of our getaway. We will definitely be revisiting in the future.

Very kid friendly place, now called KOA Holiday, it used to be called KOA Campground, no swimming for the kids or adults, they removed the swimming pond in 2023 due to swimming tragedies...but... there is a 3 story high water slide for the kids that is constantly monitored by 2 adults...and there is talk of a pool and a splash pad for 2025 from the owners. You have to be a certain height to use the water slide. There is about a 20 acre lake on the premises. Fishing is catch and release only and there is a ton of 3-5" Bluegill on the pond and a few catfish 16-20", and very small largemouth bass...not a "great" fishing lake. The best places to fish are near the paddle boats and the NE corner of the lake, which is the deepest part of the lake. No swimming signs are posted on the lake. Bike rental is available and the paddle boats on the lake rent out for 19.00 per 1/2 hour and they provide life jackets for everyone. On the weekend they had a free pancake breakfast from 8-10 am and tons of activities, see attached picture. Camping sites rent out from 45.00 (no water & no electricity) to -65.00 per night (water and electricity provided). Camping and camper sites are extremely close together. If you have a camper, those sites rent out from 70-100 per night, rustic cabins are 100 per night (no water and no electricity). The lodges and deluxe cottages include a full kitchen, AC, water, electricity, some have outside gas grills and fire pits, and microwaves and they rent out for 250-320 per night. If you cancel with a 7 day advance notice, there is only a 10.00 charge, otherwise you lose your deposit, which is your first night's rent. 3 pm check in time, 11 am checkout time. Location is right near an exit off 23. Also close to Indian Creek Zoo (adult admission is now 16.00 per person for the Zoo).

First time camping at this KOA. The cabin we rented was great. Clean, comfy. We got one with a bathroom. Had a shower and toliet. The sink was outside the bathroom like a mini kitchen with a microwave, dishes, dish soap, coffee maker. Beds were comfy. Air was nice. As far as things to do outside the cabin...it appears they filled in the water area they had other than a 3ft pool that looked dirty and a bit run down. We had a teen and were hoping to have at least the water available for swimming. They have an area for fishing. The area we were in was by the expressway but didn't bother us. Probably because the air. We were able to take our dog so that was a huge plus for us. I thin the campground could use some updates.
