Galesburg / Knoxville KOA

Highly recommend this KOA! Autumn was driving by in her golf cart and I asked her if the store had an adapter I’d been looking for. She said “I’ll check and get back to you.” Within a few minutes she drove the adapter back to our campsite and then took the payment right there. Talk about great service!! This was after she checked us in and escorted us to our site. This KOA is top notch because of employees like Autumn!!

The tent site was very nice - flat, with enough parking space, a nice picnic table, and electricity available. One (very minor) quibble was that it's butted right up against the children's play area and kind of out in the open - I'd have preferred a little more privacy. But it was easy to get to, and for a quick overnight, served what I needed. The camp store had some things I needed, and seemed well-stocked; I was even able to buy a nice breakfast and coffee before getting back on the road. I should have bought firewood while checking in at the office before closing - there was no self-service firewood available, which might have made my stay even better. The restroom was very clean and accessible.

I was worried that my late arrival would be an issue, but the young lady that checked me in right before the office closed was very kind, patient, and helpful. In the morning, staff were busy keeping things clean, and were very friendly.

Location was very easy to find, right down the road from the interstate, with easy access to get back on in the morning.

Overall, I was very happy with my stay here, and would stay again.

Our stay overall was great! The view of the lake was great and my kids loved all of the amenities.

There was one major safety issue that I brought forward and the person in the office acted like maintenance wasn't doing their job. It is leadership's responsibility to ensure it's customers are safe!

The outlet for the pound pump was pulled out of the outlet box where people are fishing. This is a wet location...water and electricity equal easy path for electrocution. I will add pictures.

This seems to be a little out-of-the-way KOA. However, it’s the best one I’ve ever stayed. Price was more reasonable than others. We were just passing through and needed a place to stay for the night. Enjoyed a nice, clean shower and relaxing dip in the pool. (We didn’t have any small children with us, but if we did….They would’ve been happy with the extra activities.) Most of the sites had a decent amount of shade, and weren’t overly crowded.

My family and I stayed at this KOA over the weekend. We really enjoyed ourselves. There are so many activities and things to do for the kiddos. Our toddler loved the bounce pillow, tire climb, playground, and games. My husband and I loved going to the fishing pond and nature trail for walks. We saw some beautiful sunsets over the field. The grounds are well maintained and the bathrooms were so clean. Definitely recommend this campground for families.
