My car battery died and we were able to flag down one of the employees. He called his boss, who came right away to give us a jump start. While waiting, we were discussing our plans to go kayaking in Missouri and he offered some other recommendations for kayaking or tubing nearby. Although this was such a minor and quick interaction, it spoke volumes to me that someone came right away to assist us. Otherwise, the area was beautiful, clean, and well shaded. We enjoyed our stay here and will be rebooking for our return journey! They also offer camping with hookups, RV camping, and cabins. Amenities included a pool (which was clean and looked well maintained), a playground, and a very clean bathroom and laundry facility. They also had a museum of RV Art, which we may check out on the way back. All together, I recommend this campground for a short overnight stay or longer, extended trip.

​As a loyal customer of the KOA brand, I am writing to formally report a series of severe safety,…read moresanitation, and management failures during my recent stay. This location is currently operating in a manner that severely damages the KOA reputation and, more importantly, poses a direct threat to guest safety. ​1. Employee Misconduct & Guest Safety Violations (Critical) ​The most alarming issue was the behavior of a female groundskeeper who lived in the site directly adjacent to mine. On multiple occasions, this employee returned to the campground visibly intoxicated or under the influence of illicit substances (exhibiting erratic behavior, "tweaking," talking to herself, and pacing). Having an employee in this state managing the grounds and living next to guests created a hostile and entirely unsafe environment. My group did not feel secure sleeping at this location. ​2. Severe Sanitation & Health Hazards ​The Pool: The pool had reportedly just reopened on Tuesday due to prior sanitation issues, but by Wednesday, it had turned completely green again. Operating a public pool with stagnant, contaminated water is a massive health code violation. ​Grounds Maintenance: The grass at our site was knee-high upon arrival and went unmowed for days. This is not just an aesthetic issue; it is a breeding ground for ticks, snakes, and pests, posing a health risk to guests and pets. ​3. Gross Mismanagement of Group Reservations ​We arrived with a coordinated group of approximately 8 campers. Despite booking together, our party was completely separated. We were placed at the very back of the campground surrounded by long-term residents, entirely defeating the purpose of a group KOA booking. ​Conclusion: I do not scare easily, but when paying guests are subjected to unsafe conditions caused directly by KOA staff, it crosses a line from "poor service" to "corporate liability." I expect a prompt response regarding how corporate intends to address these employee substance abuse issues and safety hazards

The campsites themselves are big, spacious, and peaceful. There is a train that rolls through twice a night, but aside from that it's quiet and relaxing.

The place was so quiet most of the time, I thought we might be the only people actually staying in our RV. There are several other RVs out there, but we saw only a couple people at one of them while we were there. Dogs are not required to be on a leash here. We only found this to be a problem when one pitbull was especially friendly and jumping on us. We have no idea what the 3-4 dog's names were, or who they belonged to. Dogs poop where they want, and no one is picking it up....however, with that said, I never saw one poop near a campsite. They always did their business further out. There are no concrete pads, no picnic tables, no grills, etc here. This wasn't an issue for us, but you might want to know. It was very cold during our stay from January 3-7, 2022. We had no issues with our water, sewer, or electricity. It was a tight fit for our 42' fifth wheel at the first site they were going to put us, so we needed to move down a bit to a larger area. Luckily, there were many open sites, so this wasn't an issue. There are kayak rentals on the property, and lots to do in the area. There is some fracking going on closeby. A generator (or something that makes a lot of noise) ran a lot of the time we were there. Thankfully, we can sleep through just about anything, so this wasn't a big issue for us. It did detract from the quiet during the day, when we would've preferred to hear nature instead. This fracking is not taking place on the RV park property. They have no control over when this noise is going to come and go. I can see that this would be a big problem for some people. It was loud. But, it didn't bother us a lot because we were gone a lot of the time. My husband would probably say his favorite thing on this trip was the Measurement and Time Museum in Jefferson. He spent over 2 hours touring and talking to the owner. I enjoyed the shopping and talking to all the shopkeepers. There were some cute plus size clothes at Yesteryear and also The Front Porch. I'm hard to fit, and picky about the length of my shirts, and found exactly what I needed. We enjoyed the BBQ at Riverport, and the French Dip sandwiches at McGarity's. Service was good everywhere we went. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The Kroger and Walmart in Marshall are nuts! I've never seen a busier grocery store than the Kroger, and I've lived in heavily-populated Arlington, TX most of my life. It was hard to find a parking spot. We were disappointed to find out the local steamboat/paddleboat recently sank and is no longer available for tours. Also, because it was the week after New Year's, many shops, restaurants, and museums were closed for an extended period of time - some all the way to Feb. 1st. I highly recommend calling first before going somewhere, if you're coming in January.
