Confirmed by 1 users | Last reported on December 06, 2020Lovely campground! Walk down a wooded path to Lake Eufaula. Check out Chicken Town - it's a hoot!!! Sites are great and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We will give a 10 on the bath facilities.
We had a great time staying here. We felt like family. Miss Lyndsey , Sherri were always so friendly. The fireworks to celebrate the 4th of July was amazing. Frankie and Rocky and Mr James the maintenance were always so friendly saying good morning waving at all my family anytime they saw us. We did lose power for a bit because of a storm but it was fine we used our generators . Rocky gave us waffle maker. The kids loved the playground. The only con was the cell service we were only getting 1 bar , we gad to find AT&T hotspot which gave us some communication. Thats the only reason we gave it 4 stars.

The owners of this KOA are wonderful people. We had a plumbing issue with our coach and they gave us the parts to fix it, for which we were very grateful. However, the property is starting to show it's age. The bathrooms could use a remodel. If you are in a self contained RV, I would stay here. But if you need to use their facilities, I would go elsewhere. Verizon cell signal was strong, and my MiFi worked better than the camp WiFi. OTA television was good.

We were just looking for a place to overnight. This RV park is just off the interstate 40 but it is a bit of a circuitous route to get to it. The last mile or so is very bumpy with potholes so playing dodgeball is recommended. When we arrived, no one was in the office. We drove around and looked at a few spots before selecting one. For large rigs, the sites are very unlevel. We had to jockey several times to find a semi-sweet spot. There is nothing fancy here. You can walk down to Lake Eufaula but it is a pretty dreary place. This park just had a weird mojo for us. Maybe it's different in the summer. It is overpriced for what you get.

We visited very early spring. Trees were still without leaves and spring rains going through.
Access Road from the interstate (they have no control over) needs some work. County has let it go to pot holes. But if you go slow and take your time, it isn’t to bad.
The rv park it self, the roads are dirt. Not gravel. And thus when it rains it gets a bit muddy. This gives the park a bit of a rustic run down feel. A bit of a feel of a national forest type campground not a koa feel.
The catch an release finishing pond, the water is black/brown. Not sure I would want to fish in there. Kind of looks like a cesspool. Not good. The lake looks much better. Normal muddy water.
.
Apparently the koa is situated on sort of a working farm like zoo. This is well advertised on the koa site. There is at least one donkey and several geese and chickens and possibly other assorted farm animals I may have not seen Or heard yet. You will be treated to the sounds of those three I mentioned in the morning. Really isn’t a problem. Kind of nice to hear in the morning. They only get really loud at feeding time.
The maintenance guy runs around on a gas powered Side by side frequently. Probably tending to the zoo and other duties.
Interstate is close but not that noisy. Traffic is light out here so the noise level is down.

We stayed here 2 nights October 16-18 with friends. The gal that answered the phone when we booked was super helpful in getting us a spot near our friends. Typical KOA location next to the Interstate. Loud traffic noise. We arrived after the office closed and the directions on how to proceed were not clear. We figured it out and made it to our spot. The pull through spot was nice and long and easy to access. The park had a a really cute animal farm with chickens and birds and a donkey named Jasper. We enjoyed checking in on them each day. If you need a quick stopover right off the Interstate, this is a good one nighter.

As KOAs go, this one is relatively run of the mill. Close spots, a nice store with some staples, and WiFi that works not at all. We’ve been staying in KOA cabins this last few months as we occasionally want to shower and feel like they’re a little cleaner / less risky than public showers. As cabins go, it’s well below the norm.
But, the staff here is excellent. The aforementioned petting zoo is interesting and the short hiking trail was nice. Large ducks, I believe Muscovy ducks, and cats running around. It’s the things in this paragraph, and the staff, that inch it up from a 2 star to a 3 in my book.
We were able to use our Verizon signal for streaming and anything else we wanted to do online, the lack of usable campground WiFi was fine. Oh and though they have “cable hookups” as mentioned in another review, there is no cable TV, just a few OTA local channels and free DVDs in the office. How they have kept them in working order here in 2021 is an impressive feat. Still, if only Will Ferrell would be half as funny in Land of the Lost as he was in Elf...

Nice RV park with access off and on the I-40. The road into the park feels awesome. We stay here only night on our way home to AZ. Very quiet even though it's close to the interstate. No road noise. There is a small animal farm at the back, which needs a little help but nice. The camp host were very help and are there to make your stay comfortable. We camped at Checotah / Lake Eufaula West KOA Holiday in a Motorhome

My daughter and I spent last night at this KOA. Awesome spot. Bathrooms were the cleanest I have seen anywhere. ANYWHERE. The hosts were extra helpful and the camp store has anything you might have forgotten (ice cream!) Well manicured grass, nice playground for kids. They have pool (wasn’t open yet.) We are already planning to return to this stop on our return trip home.
The site is set up for success but when we stayed, they had rain for two straight weeks. The mosquitoes were horrible. The site was swampy, but the staff was super nice. Nothing they could of done about Mother Nature. We would probably stay again.
