  • Awesome campground. Beautifully located next to the national forest, in the pines, near hiking trails, yet also near downtown Flagstaff. All the amenities and wifi never skipped a beat. The nicest campground I've ever stayed at!

  • All of the facilities at the St. Louis West KOA were first class but what is special is how friendly the people are and the extra care they take to ensure the guests are happy.

  • The best hotel for families in San Diego isn't a hotel...It's the San Diego KOA!

  • Professional staff, it was like calling a friend to stay at their home and being treated like family. Can't wait to come back again to the Grand Canyon KOA.
