Mesa / Apache Junction KOA

We stayed here for 2 weeks and had no complaints until they did road work in the park. We were not told in advance that we would not be able to get our vehicles out once the oil was put down. The next day they put another coat of oil down and we couldn’t get out for 3 hours. The owner should have told the staff when this was going to happen so that they could have let us know in advance. The wifi is really bad so had to use my smart phone for Internet. All in all it is a nice, clean park with a nice staff. The owner is a jerk and rude.

The campground and bathrooms were clean but I had a problem with the following: the curtains in our cabin didn’t fit the window properly and didn’t provide full privacy, no fire pit, and their laundry room closed at 9pm and opened at 8am. Other than that, the campground is centrally located to a lot of attractions and it was very quiet.

This was a bittersweet place for us to stay, as we planned to go to the Tortilla Flats on Tonto to camp and the site was closed. As a last resort, we paid $ 30 for a small patch of ground, about as hard as concrete and maybe four metres wide next to a variety of others.
The toilets were clean and they had a laundromat on site which was very convenient, but i just cant shake that they charge $ 30 for a site like that. $ 20 would have been much more reasonable, and maybe $ 30 for a site with electricity. Debbie and Tim were very friendly.
I think if you want to camp, go into Tonto where you can get primitive sites for free or sites with amenities for $ 15 at the Lost Dutchman, its a much better atmosphere up there and it doesnt cost an arm and a leg.

The facilities are mediocre and the management is extremely rude. This is not a Family friendly KOA, and we were treated poorly by the site manager because we had young visitors. I do not recommend this camp ground to anyone.

Debbie and Tim are awesome hosts. Very freindly.
Nice and clean with pool and hot tub.
Unfortunately other lady in office was very rude and did not honor the rain check I was told I would get when I checked in. But all in all good stay.

I’ve stayed at a lot of KOA’s over the years. From the top of Washington to the East Coast KOA’s. this one is pretty average. Its basically just a big sandbox parking lot. nothing real special about it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The sites were very clean. The sound level was very nice and quiet at night. The pull through sites are nice and wide if you have a slideout, if not they offer great room for chairs and BBQ’s. Pool was clean. The only real bad thing I have to say about is the wifi, which is really nofi. its may as well not have wifi listed. it does not work most of the time, and when it does its so slow its worse than dial up (for those that remember dial up). I I think its an okay stop over, if I was traveling by and needed to stay a night or two I’d go with it. but for a destination place I’d pass it by for better RV locations.

Loved this little gem in the desert.
we have used KOA’s for years (our fave is in san diego) so have had mulitiple experiences with different style sites.
IF you are looking for an bouncing lots of activities people running all over the place campground you will probably Not like this one.
that said, IF you are looking for Relaxed, clean, friendly & no hassle campsite this one is excellent. because of our very long drive the day we checked in we came in after 5pm. No problem!
the staff were very helpful as we were pulling a brand new (to us) trailer & a bit concerned about parking or backing up in the thing– the one gentleman came out and guided my husband so that he was more confident in parking it in place. he also showed us how to use the hookups (we had only tented before this trip) everything was new to us & the help was greatly appreciated.
its a fairly sparce campground as far as greenery goes & that seems to bother some people but its the Desert & just fine. spotted a covey of quail from my window the first morning and several roadrunners — i found it just as nice as the koa near the grand canyon. (which we loved!)
as we were gone during the day i dont know if they had a restaurant or not — to us it didnt matter as there were food places easily accessed nearby. as well as gas.
the only negatives we had were minor things — we had a problem online & had to call the park to get it straightened out which they did very quickly —
and to be honest i would have wished the pool/​jacuzzi were open later than 8pm.
as i said — quite minor.
all in all an excellent visit and we will go back.

We camp often but this was the 1^st time that we stayed at a KOA campground. It was very clean and quiet. We stayed in one of four cabins. There are bathrooms and showers. Small store with limited supplies but if you drive a few miles down the road you’ll encounter plenty of shopping. Thankfully there was a heater because it was very cold. There is a heated pool and jacuzzi. Laundry facility as well. I wouldn’t really recommend it for tent camping, the sites for tents are very small and sparse. But for rvs or the cabins definitely.

I stayed at 6 different KOA’s on My recent road trip and this one was very disappointing, First the tent spaces are a joke, especially next to some of the other KOA camp grounds we stayed at. But the thing that really angered Me was that they closed the bathrooms and hour before check out, for the entire hour and refused to let anyone in. That is bad practice. People need to use the bathroom and take showers, The fact that the guy in charge was rude and nasty about that fact makes it even worse. I will not come back to this KOA.

We were driving down from Sedona and stopped at the other KOA in Black Canyon City — horrible. We weren’t given a code to the bathrooms or the wifi when we did a late check in, which was disappointing so we left 15 mins after we got there.
We ended up coming to this KOA which was 90 mins away from the first one. Wow. What a clean site. It was such a relief to come here late and see that the owners really take pride in this site. The bathrooms were really clean and air conditioned :) There is a restaurant attached in the back, but we didn’t try it (ran out of time) but it’s great to have that option! It’s also a nice and quiet area on the edge of the mountains. Would definitely come again.

Very nice campground. We love coming here on our one night trips as we are locals. I can’t back up previous statements about the staff being rude. I have never experienced that. I have never experienced the facilities not open. Late check outs? This isn’t a hotel and they have a business to run, one should never ask for a late checkout for free, that’s just ridiculous. As far as the other lady who cancelled 24 hours prior to her arrival the cancellation policy (which you agree too upon reserving) states 48 hours and it will cost you the entire nights deposit.

I recently booked a reservation with this KOA. Unfortunately, I had to cancel at the last minute and stay at another KOA due to extreme whether conditions. Fae, was very rude and refused to refunds money. Then I called corporate headquarters and talked to the sole operated who hung up in my face and told me that she has no control over the KOA’s and she will not help me. I will never stay at any KOA again!
