I've been to a lot of koas and I have to say this is probably the nicest and cleanest KOA I've been…read moreto. The cabins are very clean with a lot of amenities you normally would not find in a cabin. It really felt more like a a hotel but smaller spaces. Internet is not the greatest, but that's not the kind of stuff I'm looking for when I'm with family in this kind of a setting. If you're about your devices then make sure you bring your own hotspot. The grounds were also kept really nice and they have plenty of things to do including a bar which was very lively around the new year. The only cons are that you have a lot of kids on e-bikes. Be careful out there.

This is an expensive KOA and the entrance makes you think you are coming into a beautiful resort…read more Then you drive in. And the scenery changes quickly. I am very unhappy with this resort. We booked the KOA online. Gave them the specs of our big rig- 42 feet with 5 slides. Check in- they put us in a back site- not an issue that does not accommodate 42 feet. We would have had to pull through both sites to have us fit. Site 143 is also extremely unlevel as is most of the sites in the Oaks area. And ALL DIRT! Not even decent dirt- just blowing sand. Every site is un-level! And in full sun- no shade trees unless you are in a premium site. So we went back up to the office- parked in front of the office to show them what 42 feet looks like- they reassigned us a new spot- again a back in and a corner lot. Again, very unlevel, all dirt and in blazing hot sun directly on the passenger side of the rig- no shade. The sewer pipe is a 3 inch hole- not the standard 4 inch as most other campgrounds are. You pay for the amenities since they have three pools. You surely are not paying for good campsites. They have other areas of the park with unlevel but somewhat decent sites but they assign you your spot. You don't get to pick. If i did not need to be close to Warner Springs with family, I WOULD NOT STAY HERE. The picnic table is wooden and warped so bad you cannot sit a drink on top. Total crap. The fire pit is large- there is a plus, but the grill is so rusted and nasty I would never use it. Walking around our site there is also trash from previous campers. So if check out is at 11 and check in is at 2- you pay staff to clean the sites. Again, I camp quite a bit. If i pay good money I expect a decent campground. If nothing else somewhat level. If i was on BLM land or dispersed camping that is a whole different ballgame but this is a KOA RESORT. Clean it up- fix the picnic table so families do not get splinters. There are just a bunch of kids working at the front and driving around on carts who do not know the campsites well enough to be knowledgable. We are staying here for 8 days- longer than just a weekend. They could have TRIED to place us in a more decent spot and not around the family camping crowd. I am not here with kids, I have a dog. Also, the dog park, is just dirt and leaves. They want you to scoop your poop but the poop bag holder is empty. So basically- you are paying for the pools. My advice unless you enjoying camping on just dirt and uneven RV sites- spend your money somewhere else. They have lots of grass and lush everywhere except where you want it to be. So save yourself time and money. Find a level spot with less amenities and pay way less. Especially if you are in a big rig of our size. Lastly, in the oaks area the cell reception is horrible- for T-Mobile. SOS or 1 bar of LTE. Wifi does work.

With small children running around this is a serious safety issue. The lady at the front laughed in my face and insulted me asking where I was from. On top of that they decided to start cutting trees at our campsite while we were camping. Couldn't even access my children after coming back from the bathroom. The workers are now harassing us parking in front of our site to intimidate us. BEWARE. CAMP at your own RISK this place does not care about their guests and will do nothing to ensure safety. UPDATE: Shortly after posting my honest review, campground management informed us that we were no longer welcome because of the review we left. Instead of addressing the serious concerns we raised, they chose to retaliate against paying guests for sharing their honest experience. I would like to add that the front desk lady informed me this was an ongoing problem and it was not just our site that was having aggressive raccoons, in the midst of insulting me. Therefore, the problem couldn't be fixed by moving sites, which would have been a half a day task, at minimum for me being alone with 5 children even if moving could solve the problem. It clearly was not a solution either way with it being a widespread issue. This tells me everything I need to know about how this campground operates. When confronted with legitimate criticism, management's response was not to fix the problems. Their response was to remove the customer. We reported ongoing safety concerns, including persistent raccoons repeatedly entering campsites and approaching campers. Rather than taking meaningful action to address those issues, management decided the problem was the guests who spoke up. If this is how they treat customers who leave an honest review, imagine how they handle complaints that are not made public. I stand by every word of my original review. This update is based on what management told us directly. Other campers deserve to know that leaving an honest, unfavorable review may result in being told they are no longer welcome. Businesses build trust by addressing legitimate concerns, not by punishing customers for speaking honestly. You can decide for yourself whether that is the type of business you want to support.

I don't know if that is how it works all the time because there was a little booth at the entrance, but no one was there at the time. I don't know if they use that during the busy season. They have cabins, shaded structures, and RV spots available. Friends and I had trailers, tent and car camping. We had electric and water available at our sites. I expected to see more trees at the sites. They had trees, but it was more to divide the cabin section from the RV sites. It did provide shade but that was after noonish, and it got hot early in the morning. Thankfully we had our canopy. We also had heavy winds during different times of the day so keep that in mind and make sure your tents and canopy is secure. There are occasional squirrel's so secure your food if you are not going to be around. They have plenty of amenities. My friends used the pool and spa. Great to use when the evenings are warm and for star gazing! I was able to use the showers which were kept very clean (code is needed to enter restrooms and showers). They had a laundry room adjacent to the restrooms, they are coin operated. We did not take advantage of some of the activities that took place in the community room the two nights we were there. We actually stayed at the KOA because it wasn't too far from the venue we were going to see a musician. There is a pickleball court too which we could see from one of our sites. During our visit the park was not busy at all but it is off season. It was very quiet at the campground and it was very clean. Staff was seen often driving around. The convenience store have cute chachi's, but also carry necessities. That includes ice. I wouldn't mind reserving the same sites again. If I return I hope to use the other amenities that are available.

Pros- Camp site is near the everything. Can walk to the fair. The site and bathroom is very clean…read more Swimming pool is clean, but small. Resident are friendly. Staff in check in friendly. They did change my camp site without asking, which was annoying. You can also bike around the camp site. They have two full plug-in's and waste on each site (which was a big plus), I could choose which way I want to put my camper. I assume this camp site would be extremely fun, during the fair and other events. They have a lot of picnic tables. Streets are clean and they have a lot of beautify trees, the shade made the warm weather very nice. Target is 1.7 miles away if you need anything. Cons- The site has a lot of permanent residents. Some have laundry hanging on a wire, which I found tacky. Sites are extremely small approximately 5 feet of grass in between each camper, unless you have a premium stall. We rented on Memorial day weekend. it was extremely noisy. The campsite 166 is by a major street, which was noisy all night with cars racing up and down the street. No camp fires, although I did see people using the propane ones. They have a dog park with lots of barking dog in the morning and night. The price is $75/night nicer parks in the area, but during the pandemic there was not much of a choice.

We experienced dirty, scuzzy pools, ongoing closed laundry sites, dirty campgrounds, little to no activities provided, no access to WiFi at all through entire park.... Then we arrived at Wilderness Lakes and everything turned around. Clean campgrounds, clean bathrooms, big clean pools, and wow an actual activity calendar. The staff communicated every day about a new activity that was offered, sometimes multiple a day for all ages. They scheduled food trucks to come out and offer the campers food, not once or twice but often! The staff was present and friendly. The Ranger was always available for help if needed. The park is in townish, close to food, groceries, gas etc. so very convenient. I'm telling you guys, skip the other parks and visit Wilderness Lakes. It's an obvious choice if you like to be around other campers enjoying your time rather than sitting alone in your camper.

Not worthy of a return. Rude staff at check in. We had pull through sites (traveled with friends)…read morethey could put us together? We were there two days and we had empty sites next to each other the entire time. Very poor navigation while inside Park. ( No exit signs at all so we were constantly going in circles. ) More full time OLD rigs with lots of garbage around thir rigs. Almost like hoarders collections. Probably the biggest problem was geese and duck population. Poop everywhere and the noice level starting at 5:30 am through dusk. Trash pickup finally did come.... someone finally weekwhacked weeds (no grass whatsoever) Trash, cigarettes butts, glass everywhere. Sorry Thousand Trails, I know you can do so much better!!

When I can afford it, I want to pay to stay for an extended amount of time. For the quality and what you get for what you pay daily, it's the best. I used to pay $90/day to keep my rv somewhere else and it's almost half as much here. Well it's a little more if you add the waste/ sewage but it's still not nearly close to $90. The level of comfort and home vibe I felt while staying says a lot because this new full time rv way of life has been a tough adjustment for me but woods valley made me feel like "yeah I could for sure do this." I could only afford to pay for one day at a time but if you pay for weekly or monthly, you get a discount. So that's my eventual goal.

Good things: We thought the bathrooms and showers were very clean. The food at Moes was good as were the drinks. The store was well-stocked with toys, food, and clothing. The pool and jacuzzi were great, and the kids loved them. Kids' activities and games were plentiful, and they also enjoyed the playground. Staff was helpful in the office. Security was present and doing lots of rounds the first two nights (did not see them the busy Friday night). The camp was VERY, impressively, quiet at night. Middling things (mind you, the campground is not in control of these!): the sand is not soft sand like at the coastal beaches. Kids will probably need shoes for the shells and rocks, and it's packed super hard. The campground is under the flight path of John Wayne airport, so expect to know when it's 7 am each day since that's when the planes begin roaring overhead. Not-so-great things: the sites are super close together. Yes, you will be packed in like sardines, especially in the "standard" back row sites, which were completely filled when we visited. It is hard to back in when trucks are parked along the road, in front of the tiny sites- there is VERY little room for error. The sites are ALL DIRT, which I did not think would be so bad until I lived it. (Never again, unless I buy some turf at some point.) When campers dump their waste, expect to get some whiffs. (Many reviews note something about the angle of the dump/hose- we don't have a bathroom in our trailer so I can't attest to that issue.) Finally, the single biggest deal breaker for us was the allowed use of wood burning fire pits at sites. Since everyone is crammed in there, people burning wood on Friday night resulted in the paths and trailers and even the bathrooms being filled with smoke. They should only allow gas burning fire pits! So yeah- if we return it will only ever be mid week and preferably in the off-season.

The trails are what really attracted me to this area; the campsite is right next to the Agua Tibia wildnerness and protects several endangered species (the creek was closed due to Arroyo Toad spawning time).
