We used this park for a quick overnight on the way from Illinois to Disneyworld. We were only there from midnight to 6 am and never left the motorhome, so I can't comment on restrooms, amenities, etc. The sites were easy-in/easy-out. After hours check-in was easy and convenient. There was freeway noise, which I usually don't notice, but I guess that's the price you pay for a campground located so conveniently to the highway. We'd overnight here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were a little dubious about being so close to the freeway, but that was short-lived. Campground is very nice. The bathroom and showers were sparkling clean. There is a little house that has several pieces of exercise equipment with a TV. As other have mentioned, there is a fenced-in doggy area. The nature trail was nice also. It was a little pricey, but we had cable and pull-through and sewer at the site. That was worth it to me. The staff was very nice and we would definitely camp there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice location off freeway, but not much freeway noise. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The park has a beautiful setting, even flowers on the tables. Pool and spa was clean and open for use. Our dog had her own spot to run that was fenced in for the dogrun, very nice. We would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park condition was great and extremely clean. Staff very friendly. Getting situated in the office and to the site for our motorhome was quick. Large walking site for dogs, nicely stocked store. A little road noise but we only stayed for one night along the road. All hookups were clean and had easy access. We would stay here again, only issue is the grounds aren't close enough to either Nashville or Chattanooga. We camped here in a Motorhome.
My family loved this campground. From the moment you check in, you know that the owners really love their job. The rules and activities are "read" to you by a buck mounted on the wall that "talks." The pool is wonderful, and the hot tub was inviting. There is a large field to walk in, as well as a doggie park for those with four legs. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground was great! The staff was wonderful. The highway noise was more than other campgrounds, but not that bad and it's also not the campgrounds fault, they can't change the highway! I purchased firewood and they gave me extra without any charge. They have a great store, with free movie rental, great coffee that comes free with some of the sites. The sites were spread out really nicely and the pond was wonderful. I really have nothing negative to say about this campground! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is an excellent campground except for one thing. Freeway noise. The hosts are great, and they have about everything you could want. Wifi, movies, full hookups, swimming pool, hot tub, nature trail. The sites are fairly level. Most of the people we saw come and go didn't need much to level up. If only it didn't have all the noise. We camped here in a Motorhome.
While this park is well kept and the sites are spacious, I found the cost a tad bit high. In fact on a trip from Southwest Florida to Upper Michigan, this KOA was the most expensive. The amenities were no better or worse than the other campgrounds that we stayed at. The traffic noise from I-24 is very audible as the campground is almost on the shoulder of the Interstate. On a positive note, the campground including the rest rooms were clean. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Hotels were cheaper at this intersection. Ramada was $33. No posted hotel price was higher than this KOA. Prices are WAY out of line. Pool was good 9ft deep. There is a small hot tub. Facilities were well kept, and yes, there is substantial freeway noise. The sites are level and gravel. They are wide, but little grass. Nice little touches by the staff. If you don't NEED to stop, drive up the road or park at the Walmart across the street. A campground with higher rates than the local hotels is a problem. When I made reservations I was connected with the 13yr old running the desk and he would NOT answer any questions about availability or facilities. WIFi works but at a very low level. High rating is for the facilities and service. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Would rate higher but when we were there the leaves were falling. Owner had large blower mounted on golf car and was blowing more dust than leaves. Asked him to stop blowing all that on our motorhome. He got very indignent. Also way over priced for location. Will not stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice KOA! There is some, not much, freeway noise. The sites are large (particularly for a KOA) and there is plenty of shade. There is a good pool with a slide and a hot tub. Wi-fi is free and phone hook-up are available. We would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Easy on-off I-24 and into sites. Layout is excellent and well maintained with flowers set out, etc. Excellent shade tree coverage and a well supplied store with gifts. KOA should use them as an example for other owners of how to do it right. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I was uncertain about the interstate noise, but after getting there it was not really much concern. The owners were very friendly and we enjoyed our long weekend stay. We would definitely stay there again. My only complaint would be the high price that KOA's charge, I think they should reconsider their rates. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Middle of the ground campground. Big trees and shady, but close enough to I-24 to hear traffic all of the time. Nice pool, but apparently they sell access to locals, so the pool is packed all afternoon, and the locals park their cars along the drive making it tough to drive in and out in a coach. Expensive to stay in a place like Manchester. Who in the world wants to visit Manchester, TN, it's a very nowhere place, but they charge big city prices. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A nice park, easy access. Add $3 for instant phone. Very friendly owners/staff. Nice stop-over park with a Wally World Supercenter nearby. We camped here in a camper.
The campground was well shaded and quiet. The rangers were nice and helpful. There some walking trails. Beware of the Stone Fort trail, it has a lot of bluffs, very dangerous for children. The museum was very interesting and there are a few demonstrations. We did have electrical problems which was isolated to the first loop of the campground. The breaker was overloading and we were without electricity half of the time we were there. From what we understand it was a problem last year too. Good place to camp for a couple of nights, but not really a whole lot to do. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
