This KOA was the perfect place to stop and spend a night while on our Journey. The RV pads were level and clean. The Camp Hosts were friendly and the small store had a couple of items that we needed. They also sell ice cream by the scoop. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful campground with a lot of shade trees. Very helpful and friendly staff. Location right off the highway is good unless your site is on that end of the park (we weren't, and it was very quiet).There are two off-leash dog areas. One is good sized and grassy with a bit of mud. The other is very narrow and is mostly gravel, which isn't good for dog paws if they're running around or playing catch. As a dog owner, I think the park would be just perfect if the dog areas were upgraded, at least if they were both covered in grass.
They have ice cream in the store! Get two scoops.. They're huge and you know you've earned it being out on the road.
We would camp here again.

We checked in for two nights. It is a nice shady place. Especially in the heat, it’s always nice to have a shaded spot.
With that being said, the pool was green and so heavily chlorinated. The pool was all chlorine, I couldn’t even swim in it because it felt like it would burst into flames any minute. When you charge over $150 for two nights, I think you should hire someone to come in and properly manage that pool. It’s unacceptable.

When we arrived at this KOA, it appeared neat and clean. The office was neat. The person checking us in asked me how many air conditioners we had, and told me that their 50-amp sites didn't fit all plugs, as it was an older KOA. This seemed odd to me, but we have only one air conditioner, so I cooperated by just moving our reservation to a 30-amp site and settling for not using the microwave, which seemed to be what was wanted. We got to our site, and our surge protector told us there was something wrong with the electrical hookup. I got one of the hosts, and he checked the site's electrical outlet with some sort of very small meter. He said it was fine, and our surge protector was defective. My husband tried to show him what our surg protector was showing, and he became very loud and rude. Then he told us that they often have problems with surge protectors not working at their KOA. We asked if we could try another site, as we were uncomfortable with going without the surge protector due to experiences at other places. He looked briefly at his phone and said all other sites were booked, including the 50-amp site we had just given up less than 10 minutes before, and we would have to stay where we were. Since KOA sites are not specifically reserved, this made no sense. I asked politely if we could double check on the office computer, and the man raised his voice, and became very rude. We said we would have to think what to do, and the man left. i went back to the office to see if the first couple I had dealt with was back, and to see if we might check about the availability of another site, since we were tired, and would have preferred to stay where we were. The rude man was there, along with his wife. I think I was polite, but they were not. I finally asked for a refund, which they did give, though the man complained about the inconvenience I was causing him by requesting a paper copy of the refund (we keep paper copies of all of our vacation transactions in a folder, and I have never been treated as if it was an imposition to get one.) We got on our phones and found another RV place that was local. It was fine, and our surge protector worked just fine. We have used KOAs almost exclusively for the past 12 years of RVing because they are predictably clean, quiet, with good service, and are normally close to our travel routes. We will never use this one again, and in future I will look for negative reviews and take them seriously, in any KOA we consider, even if they are in the minority.

Unpleasant stay:
Our resent stay at the Little Rock Jct. I-40 KOA was very unpleasant. We only stayed for 2 nights. I will first say the check in staff was polite and friendly and got us to our site quickly. It’s called and priced as a premium site but that’s debatable. Deck boards coming up, board patches repaired shoty and now a tripping hazard! Table really dirty, no umbrella, grill and fireplace dirty and needs a good cleaning. Everything is just dirty, rundown, and messy.
As KOA members our experience there was not up to the standards we are used to from other KOAs. I realize this one is family owned and run which could be the issue. The entire camp area is just run down and shabby. The sites in the back and where the extended guest or staff stay are really messy and dirty. There is stuff laying all over the place around their RVs. It looks like an old run down trailer park and not a KOA vacation campground. Old cars, rundown and moldy RVs, potholes, messy, entire camp needs a thorough cleaning, sprucing up, and going through. It’s got a shabby rundown feel.
The few pull through sites in the front by the office are ok but not premium. A little tight on the corners to call them premium sites for big rigs but ok for an overnight stay.
Nice that they have a pool but it was dirty and tiles inside needed a good cleaning. Tried to enjoy the pool but the staff’s family or friends (8-10 of them) who were staying at the camp took over the pool. All smoking around the pool which made it impossible for us to enjoy and we had to breathe and smell the nasty second hand smoke the whole time.
They were drinking alcohol and eating at the pool right next to the signs that say no food or glass in pool area. Kids were eating while swimming.
Wi-Fi not greatest. In and out both days.
I guess this place is ok for an overnight visit but I wouldn’t stay longer. Not what we expected from a KOA and the standards we are used to. Not sure if we will return. Very important that folks read “all” the reviews. Looking back at reviews from 2021 to the present, they still have the same issues today. Nothing being done about it! It’s also important for the KOA headquarters read our reviews to isolate problems we travelers have to deal with and see to it they are corrected. KOA headquarters was notified.
It was such a disappointment and lowered our expectations of staying at a KOA and our KOA renewal.
