First off, probably one of the nicest campgrounds I have ever been to. they put us in a handicap site because it is all they had left, but it was great, right by a brand new shower/bath house that were immaculate. HUGE rooms for each shower, with an exterior door. The sites were 85' long, had a swing, charcoal grill and raised fire pit at each location. Hook ups were simple to get to and had a light for our late night arrival. The park was a bit pricey, but well worth it. Breakfast was only a couple dollars, and sure beat cooking at the site. Not a ton of stuff to do in Buckeye Lake, but we rented a pontoon boat and went out to feed ducks, etc. Pool and playground were nice and well maintained. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is a really nice campground. You can choose to be in the section with trees, but the sites are too close together. For more room, there's the deluxe section, but it's wide open, no trees and costs more money. It's a hard choice - shade or space. Sites are all gravel. Wi-Fi is strong at your site. Nice park for pets. Staff all very friendly. We would have rated this a 10, but feel the price was just too high for a campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great place for kids, I had 3 teenagers and this place was for smaller kids. Real friendly ppl. Rates are kinda high but you get a lot. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A great park. We stayed at a premium site that included sodded site stamped concrete patio with a table with umbrella and portable campfire pit. Would have given a solid 10 but they had just moved the K-9 park back into the woods that was horrible for the dogs with mosquitoes and bugs We camped here in a Motorhome.
A little steep on the price, but worth it for all the amenities. Great kids campground. Fire truck rides, loads of toys to play on, and ice cream social. The standard tight, parallel sites. Very level with easy access and good shade. Great tent area with dispersed camping in the woods. Neat dog obstacle course in fenced area. Individual showers with their own door. Far enough from the interstate to be quiet. Staff patrols frequently. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed in a lodge which was very clean. Great to have all the extras in there such as coffee pot, and other kitchen items. T.V. worked good , also had a DVD player, which the kids liked. Nice porch to sit in evening. Quiet park. Friendly staff. Clean grounds , good shade trees. Definitely a place we will come back to again. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.
Staff were incredible. Stayed in the new "super deluxe" sites. Great activities for the kids. Wonderfully maintained. All services worked. The only reason it gets dinged is that the electrical wasn't complete at our site, specifically the light had wires hanging out. Trailer hookup worked fine. Entire experience was great. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice place, but you practically have to get a bank loan to afford it. Bring plenty of money. Thats the only reason I rate it low is due to its prices. Be ready to pay for EVERYTHING. Out the ying yang. Would LOVE to come back again but cannot afford it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stopped here while passing through, and the rate was a little high for just an overnight stop, but the sites were level, and we were assigned a pull through long enough that we did not have to unhook from our tow vehicle. The staff was very friendly. The playground was large and suitable for our 2 yr old. The giant air pillow was a big hit. Interior roads were gravel but wide. Bathrooms and showers were clean, but individually accessed from outside, and the door to the bathroom I used did not latch shut. It appeared that several activities are planned both for young and old. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We had a terrific Memorial Day Weekend at this campground! The staff are very friendly and helpful - honestly the best we've ever dealt with. My kids really enjoyed the planned activities and jumping pillow and our dogs loved their "bark park". Though the sites look narrow, they have done a great job situating fire rings to make great use of the space. The place was full, but still very quiet. We will definitely go back! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
One of the best KOA's we've stayed at. Extremely helpful staff. Clean restrooms and showers. Ask the office staff about the pizza place within walking distance. It's rated one of the top 10 in the country for non chain pizza places. We had a great pizza there. Definitely would stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a great campground! The facilities were clean, as was the campground. The hosts were friendly, helpful, and gave us much information on the area. We stayed 3 nights. The only problem we had was that the well went out in the morning, and we had no water. They were trying to fix it as we left. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice clean CG with friendly staff. Staff provided a nice short generic Sunday church service on the grounds. Sites are long and narrow. Full timers are along the west side of the side of the creek are friendly. WiFi and cable TV worked fine. We will probably visit again next summer. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a very nice campground located conveniently off the interstate. The sites are long enough but pretty narrow. The people are very nice, can't do enough for you. Cable works OK and free WiFi is slow but acceptable. One of the nicest features of this park is the huge fenced dog area. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park was clean and the staff was extremely nice. All sites seemed pretty level and we had no issues with power. The water had a bad metallic smell, and had a lot of sediment coming through. I had to flush out my water lines when I got home (I also used a water filter while there). I would go back if I had the opportunity. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is an excellent KOA, with very friendly and helpful staff. Facilities were up to date and clean, and there seemed to be an ongoing facilities upgrade program. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Camped here many times in the past . It is always a great experience! Very clean facilities, friendly staff , activities for all ages. Usually an Ice Cream Social on the weekends and a ride on an antique fire truck throughout the camp if you are lucky. Pool is a bit small but always clean. Close to the highway(but not too close) , grocery shopping and Buckeye Lake. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We arrived for the holiday weekend, before the "rush" My parents were in a cabin, we were in a 26' travel trailer. My parents were on one side of the CG, we were on the other side. When we asked about being moved closer to my parents, we were told, "it's a holiday weekend, we're not going to start moving people all over the place." So, we thought we would just make the most of it, until we were escorted to our site, we hung out into the road roughly 2 feet! Our neighbors slide out hung out over our firepit, and their septic tank was next to our picnic table! We have stayed at other KOA's in the past, and never have we been that cramped for space. The gravel the CG had just put down was difficult to walk in. And, other people who did not like the site they were escorted to, were allowed to be moved to other sites!! We will not stay here again - not even for just an overnight. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Sites are narrow, young tall tree growth provides good shade, pads are covered with very large sized gravel that spills into the grass/weed/mud lawn area making it difficult to walk on or for folding chairs. We were there for 10 days and the "grass" was never mowed and hadn't been for some time. The Office Staff very helpful and there is a nice little store. Staff escort to our site and assistance in positioning RV was appreciated. We did find and reported a cracked electrical outlet but it was never fixed during our stay. The pool is small with no adult hours so if there are a lot of children camping it isn't very relaxing. There is a game room that had quite a few games to entertain all ages. There is miniature golf for the extra charge of $2/person but it need a considerable amount of repairs. The water was terrible and we had to flush our system after our stay. Add the expense of bottled drinking water if you go! We were there visiting friends and will try another park for our next visit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice clean campground. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We were only staying one night and didn't want to unhook. The first site they took us too we would have to unhook, we said we really didn't want to unhook so they moved us to a site were we could stay hooked up and were really close to the bathroom/shower. The shower house actually has music playing all the time. The only problem it is a little price for what you get. The site was long enough but was narrow. You were really close to your neighbor. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very Nice for a KOA, the lot was long enough for our trailer, and tow vehicle. The lot we had wasn't really wide, like most KOA's. We did have to pay extra for late departure, but it was nice that they delivered fire wood, and picked up trash for each spot. The dog walks were the nicest we've ever used, large enough for our greyhounds. We didn't have any problems with mosquitos, even though we were parked pretty close to the stream. The bathrooms were clean, and well maintained. We'll stay here later this year, when we go back to race in the area again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
There are both good and bad points for this campground: Good - Beautiful, well-maintained CG, the cleanest and nicest showerhouses I have ever seen in a CG (there is also a radio playing in one of the showerhouses!) Cable TV hookups, WiFi. Bad - We have never seen a worse case of mosquitoes ever! They are out in full force at all hours of the day and night! We were told by the staff that the owner has the county spray for them every Thursday. Well, we were there on a Friday, and we weren't there for 10 minutes and were already getting eaten alive by the mosquitoes! We were unable to let our dogs out of the camper, except to go to the bathroom. We were also unable to eat outside, because we would be the meal for the flying bugs! They must be there due to the small creek that runs through the middle of the CG. Due to the mosquitoes, we will not return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This place is a typical KOA. Difficult for big rigs, trees, posts, etc. , in the way, Overpriced ($42.00 for a gravel site that, at most, should go for about $22.00, and over-the-hill. Wi-fi at most campgrounds is free but, at those who charge, it is usually $3 or $4 per night. Not this place. Here it is $12.00 for one day. Ridiculous. Stay somewhere else. Will KOA never learn? Are they stuck in a time warp? We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice campground, but not much to do. Over priced relative to what you get for your stay. Unless you have a boat to use on the lake, there is not much else to do in this area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was a good KOA, featuring typically small campsites and very expensive, with extra charges for almost everything except the pool. As it was over the 4th of July weekend, the campground was quite full, and the swimming pool really wasn't usable for adults without small children (too crowded). Despite the crowds, restrooms/showers were kept clean, trash was picked up frequently and the campers were generally quiet. We were given a "buddy" site (which we were not told beforehand) which made outdoor activities a little awkward, figuring out which half of the common area each group could use. As a result, we spent most of our outdoor time on another (single) site with our other family members. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a clean, well maintained CG just a few minutes from a recreational lake about 20 miles east of Columbus. We had a pull-thru site for our popup that was plenty large along with some big rigs and travel trailers. Staff was friendly, but they had a lot of what I thought were unecessay rules for the kids. Pool and entertainment were good. Only drawback was that a small creek runs thru the middle of the CG and the mosquitoes were terrible. This was in July. The staff aminains a couple of bug zappers but they were no help. However there is a great pizza restaurant next door and also if you have kids it's about a 20 minute drive to COSI, the Columbus children's museum which was fantastic. Would stay there again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
