    To the dumb drunks who hit my car ( a single mother who saved to take her kid and his best friend…read morehere) at the KOA at lake of Egypt, I know you drive a black SUV and rented a pontoon from the vender at the KOA! They aren't helping me find you guys but know I hope your clothes are always damp coming out of the dryer, you step on each individual Lego you come around barefoot, I home your sock always turns funny after getting your shoes on, I hope your mom stops calling you, I hope your tires are all flat by time you get home! It's the fact you threw out a handle of vodka while driving off! Now as for the KOA saying it isn't their problem! Fine I'll take it to social media! It is your parking lot! There for it is your problem! Don't blame ONLY the vendor You let them have their company there. The vendor in the picture below is responsible because he is okay with them drunk driving his pontoons! I called him and he said it wasn't his problem! He also stated it wasn't illegal to drink and drive a boat!!!! How do you own a business that rents boats and not know that yes it is illegal to drive a boat while drunk!!!! YOU CAN KILL PEOPLE!! I will blow this up until I get an apology or until they come forward or until the KOA Gets cameras! Don't recommend going there and parking in their lot just for some drunks to wreck your car and drive off and them not care!! THIS IS A FAMILY PLACE!!!!!! Or maybe make it 21+ if this is the people you have out there!!!! My 9 and 10 year old were highly upset!

    Service was so friendly, everything was very clean. Great food and amazing drink options,…read moreWith a Cute little store. All the sites were so well kept and the cabin we stayed in was wonderful and so clean. The water park was a huge hit!
