Great location for overnight stop. Wi-Fi, cable TV, Verizon card good. Long spots, fuel spots close. Easy on and off Hwy. Water collected after heavy rain between sites. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A good KOA which we have visited several times. Clean, well-laid out, well-managed. Clean bathrooms. Friendly staff. Easy-in and easy-out for any size rig. The east side of the park, which we prefer, has many mature trees, but they do not hinder maneuverability and they add atmosphere. Sites on the west side of the park have no trees and are close enough to a truck stop to hear the somewhat muted rumble of trucks 24 hours a day, even though a privacy fence provides a barricade. We recommend this campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Arrived late - after registration but an envelope with our name on it was clearly left on the office door with everything we needed inside including Wi-Fi pass codes. Sites were long enough for our coach (+towing), didn't even have to unhook. It was a gravel park but well-maintained. Laundry area was clean, nothing fancy but clean and served its purpose. Pool was warm and clean. Kids liked the playground; but they loved the fishing pond. Kids got up extra early the next morning to feed the ducks on the pond. Very easy in-easy out right off I-44. Petro and Pilot truck stops right across street to fuel plus a few restaurants, including Subway which was convenient to pick up some healthy subs to go for later on down the road. Overall a good experience. Staff very friendly and helpful. If you are passing through, don't hesitate to stay here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for one weekday night in early November. We had a a FHU, pull-through site with cable TV (40 channels). As has been happening to us a lot lately, we were unable to connect to the Wi-Fi in the evening but were able to do so the next morning. It might be that folks are hopping on the internet earlier as it gets dark earlier. It is too bad that this park got some bad reviews during the summer when the park was primarily used by people staying at the park because of the terrible tornado Joplin experienced earlier in the year. Many sites are in the trees but there are some that are satellite friendly. Most sites are pull-through and there are a variety of hook-up combinations (varying amperage, cable or not, W&E only, etc.). The park could use more laundry and bath facilities for 100 sites. The park is family oriented with a pool, a playground, a duck and fishing pond, and a basketball court. Good park for an overnight or a few days to relax or tour the area. Yes, you can hear the interstate traffic but it is not as close or bad as at some parks. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I stayed here for 1 day. Campground elevation is 1,019 feet. Maneuvering my 40 footer towing a dinghy was no problem. Roads and sites are gravel, & my patio was concrete with furniture. Site spacing is good. My upgraded site 659 offered 30/50 amp service & full hookups. WI-FI and cable were included in daily rate. I was able to receive AT&T Wireless G3 Internet & Cellular service. I received Dish Network 110/119 Satellite TV from dish on roof of motorhome. Campground is pet friendly. Staff was friendly. Walmart was 6 miles away and Dillons Grocery was 6 miles. I am unable to comment on other amenities due to not using them. Nice open campground. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have no complaints about this park and, in fact, we commend the owners for their friendly helpfulness. We had transmission trouble and they helped us locate a vehicle dealer for repairs and offered to drive us to a car rental agency. The campground was clean and well-maintained and the bathrooms and showers were clean and odor-free. We have stayed here in prior years, too, and have always been very pleased. In those prior years, the ratings were 7, 8, and 9—that’s why we started using this park. (If you read my reviews of other parks, you will see that we are picky, so if the Joplin KOA were deficient, we would say so.) The 2011 low ratings may have been because of many tornado workers camping at the park. We recommend this park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have stayed here a few times in previous years but this year the park looked especially rough. While improvements have been made to the playground, it seems most of the rest of the park has been used heavily lately. We are not sure how much of the unsightliness is the result of the spring floods of 2011, but this park looked much more like a long timer mobile home park than a family geared camping park. Fine for an overnight but would not stay any longer than necessary. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park has the worst, most disgusting bathhouse I have ever seen! It smells terrible and is filthy and has no water pressure at all. I was unable to get clean during my entire stay there. If you only use your own bathroom this may not matter. If you need the parks bathroom, BEWARE it is gross! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park has several nice features, including lighted pedestals at some sites, full cable TV, pizza made on-site, and a good selection of activities and playground equipment for kids. The sites were level and the campground easily accessible from I-44. The pool was large enough and refreshing, with up-scale wicker and iron furniture. It puzzled us that there were so many costly and lovely upgrades, while the restrooms and showers were so in such disgusting condition. How much can it cost to replace moldy vinyl shower curtains? There was also mold on the ceilings and walls, and a nasty smell. Granted, the campground was full at the time with tornado-relief workers, and that may have contributed to the unkempt state of the restrooms in general, but the moldy curtains and ceilings obviously were there regardless of the number of campers. For us, the condition of the restrooms overshadowed the rest of the campground, which is actually quite lovely - as long as you use your own RV bathroom and shower. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The park and pool at Fisher's KOA, Joplin are well kept. The cable and internet access codes did not work. We were not given a shady site as promised and the staff were rude when asked to relocate us. These folks need to learn some people skills. We will never camp there again.

My wife liked the park, but it is typical KOA (keep on adding). Sites are gravel and not really level. No trash pickup. Over night stop OK. If you use the Oklahoma turnpike remember if you take of $75.00 for fuel you will need two credit cards. Using the same card twice tells them you are using a stolen card. Joplin, would stay again.

This is much better than most KOAs: in fact, much better than most RV parks. It is a clean, well laid-out park with many mature trees, but they do not hinder maneuverability of big rigs, easy in and easy out. There is grass and plenty of space between sites. Nice landscaping around the park. The staff is friendly and helpful. The bathrooms are very clean and attractively decorated. There are even baskets with cloth hand towels on the lavatory counter (and an electric hand dryer, if you prefer). The park has a nice pool and playground and bikes to rent. WiFi and cable TV were good. There is some highway noise, but it did not bother us at our site in the rear of the park. We like this park very much and will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was a nice place to stay. The family who operates the park was extremely friendly and helpful. Our kids loved feeding the fish and turtles in the pond. You have to pay an additional $5 for a fire ring and firewood, but that seems to be a fairly typical price for a bundle of firewood. The picnic table was small, so we ate inside our RV. Overall, we liked this campground and would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The day before we arrived, they had a 12" snowfall, and it had all melted. They had a major water problem and a lot of the sites were under water. The kid that escorted us to the site, put us in one that was under water and we protested. He was unwilling to move us, so we started to move on our own. Eventually an adult allowed us to move where it was drier. Also, it was so close to interstate and a truck stop that the noise was objectionable. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We arrived at the campground immediately after a long torrential downpour that left parts of the park looking like lakes, and were pleasantly surprised with how quickly our site dried out. Access is convenient and our site was large enough for our slides and tow vehicle. The fellows in the office certainly did not go to charm school, but the young woman there was very pleasant. Reasonable value. We camped here in a Motorhome.

An older park run by a friendly family, situated across from a large truck stop and beside a semi truck repair shop. Better then average signage and direction from the interstate. Sites offer a variety of sizes and amount of shade. Utilities are all up to date and working. The pool is starting to show its age. Only passing through one night and thought $40 was on the high end.

We arrived after dark and thus didn't get a good look at the place, but from what we could see it was neat, clean and well maintained. We had intended to boondock at the nearby Flying J, but a problem with our generator caused us to look for a campground with an electrical hookup. The Joplin KOA was close by but closed. But the owner answered the phone and said he would wait up for us. $32.80 was a lot to pay for an overnight spot but we were very grateful for their hospitality. We camped here in a Motorhome.
