Joplin KOA Journey

"Within walking distance of the mall (with tons of amazing stuff food, drinks, shoes, ) and McDonald’s! There are no sidewalks or crosswalks so it it inconvenient. Cute ponds, you can fish in one (mostly tiny sunfish) and the other has bigger fish but there’s no fishing allowed. Nice dog park."

"I usually love KOAs! This is the exception. It’s ludicrously expensive for having almost no amenities, surcharges for internet and a fire ring, and tons of highway noise. Many of the reviews on here complain about customer service, but my (limited) interactions were fine. The checkout time is aggressively early. Overall, the park felt like the owners were just trying to get as much money out of unsuspecting campers and aren’t investing in the camping experience or the campground. On the bright side, the sites were easy to pull into and the map was well marked. Bottom line: I’d stay here again if I was visiting someone in the nearby hospital. Otherwise I’d go elsewhere."

"Have not stayed here. A journey koa should not have gravel drives and pads. On a diesel pusher with the radiator in the rear, gravel drives are horrible. The engine throws dust over everything in site. A journey I thought meant premium. I guess I was wrong. Koa should not have a "journey" which we think of as premier, that does not have paved sites."

"The lady at the front desk is rude and goes out of her way to make rude comments. The first rude comment she made was after she explained something to me very quickly and I didn't quite catch what she said. When I asked her to reiterate something she said sarcastically "yeah, that was the second option." I served in the United States Marine Corps and lost a lot of hearing firing a lot of really big guns. Apparently my hearing loss was such an inconvenience for this person that she felt the need to make this and other rude comments to me. I don't pay this much to get disrespected like that. I'll be staying at one of the many other campgrounds in the area from now on."

"Sites are very plain. Few with shade. No fire pits. We were put in a 30 amp site in spite of the place being nearly empty. Not conducive to sitting outside. No concrete or asphalt area for picnic table or for chairs or grilling. Our first KOA site. Expected much higher quality."
