Retha's Campsite Reviews

Niagara Falls/Grand Island KOA Journey - Grand Island, New York

PFR *****

Campground *****

This is a really nice RV resort, but a bit pricey. Even with our group rate, with our New England tour friends, it was almost $100/night. We ended up with a really nice site, with a large concrete patio and furniture. If we had gotten one of the sites the rest of our group got, just grass, no patio, I probably would have given the campground a **** rating. The parking pad is level gravel. We used all 7 xpens to make a nice large yard.

Homerville KOA - Homerville, Ohio

PFR ****

Campground ***

We stopped at this park at the beginning of our New England tour. The sites were supposed to be pull-thru, but they were only pull-thru if someone else wasn't already in 1/2 of the site. We lucked out and were able to pull through to the front half of the site, and not have to unhook. But, the people in the back half of this site had to back in. We had planned to have happy hour at the pavilion, but there was bird poop all over the tables. The roads were good, and our gravel site was pretty level. There was only room for a few xpens. We set up 2, since we were here for just one night.

Site #HT28

$45/per night

Length of stay - 1 night

Indianapolis KOA - Greenfield, Indiana

PFR *****
Campground ****

We first stayed in this park September 17, 2018. That review with photos is below.

We had a better site this time. A very large patio and very large yard area. The roads in front and behind our long pull thru site are in good condition. So, I have raised the rating for the campground from a ***+ to a **** .

Site #D8

Length of stay - 3 nights

$80.73/night

This is a nice campground, with gravel roads & parking pads. Our site was pretty level, long, and wide, with good grass in the yard area. We could have put out all 7 pens, but we were there for just one night and only put out 2. There are concrete patios and picnic tables.

They have a REALLY nice pool, but we didn't go swimming. The office has hand-dipped ice cream.

Our site was a pull-thru, but we backed out to leave. The road in front of us had ruts full of water, and a deep muddy area on the far side of the road, where the previous occupants had squished into the mud when they left. There was also a large tree on the right side of our site, and posts on the left site, which would have made it difficult to make the turn without hitting one or the other.

Site #DX43

Casey KOA - Casey, Illinois

PFR ***

Campground ***

This is the first KOA we have ever been to that does not allow pet fencing, which is the reason for the 3 stars. They don't have a limit.

The sites and roadways are pretty tight. Our pull-thru is just barely long enough for our 41' rig and toad. The front of the rig is pulled all the way to the edge of the road, and can just barely get the car pulled in, out of the road. A neighbor 2 sites down had to ask the people across the street to move their car, and still had to pull across the front part of their site to get out.

Site #1

$49.46/night with KOA discount

Length of stay - 2 nights

Had to use the portable satellite, and finally got all 3 satellites.

RV Self Park - Sullivan, Missouri

PFR ***

Campground ***

This is an unusual park. There are no attendants, and no office onsite. You make your reservations online, and tell them what time you will arrive. When you arrive, an electric eye lets them know you are there, and the electricity and water are turned on, and you are allowed access to the sewer connection. The sites and parking pads are very narrow. The grass strip between sites is only about 5' wide. We set up just 2 xpens. It is ok for just an overnight.

You can reserve the site for 14, 18, or 24 hours. Or multiple days. We reserved for 24 hrs.

Site #12

$44 for 24 hours

Length of stay: 1 night

Maumelle Park COE - Little Rock, Arkansas

PFR ****

Campground ***

This is a very nice park, with nice shade and large, grassy sites. There is a large crushed rock patio area, with a concrete picnic table. Our site was fairly level, but did have to use the portable step.

There are several campers in our loop that are draining their grey water on the ground. Can't find anything in the rules about it.

Site #E-21

$12/night

Length of stay - 8 nights

Water & Electric only
