Flatwoods KOA

The sites are very nice, but there is not much to do around the campground. Most people that were there during our week at the campground only stayed for one night. The laundry facilities leave you feeling lacking- two washers and two dryers, but the dryers did not work very well. It is big rig friendly with great cellphone/LTE internet. The other perk is that the KOA is owned/operated by the adjacent Hotel and the KOA guests have access to the fitness room and pools at the Hotel. We also saw deer in the park a few times too.

We were looking for a place to kill 4 days before our commitment in Pennsylvania. Check in was fast and friendly at the Days Inn lobby. We had no problem navigating the roads in our 58' total rig plus toad. Our pull through site was spacious and level. It has a picnic table, grill and fire pit.

The bath house was clean and the showers were a welcome change to our small shower in the coach. There is a cell tower within eye shot of the park and we were able to stream tv with no issue.

There is a Walmart across the highway, but that's about it for shopping in the area.

We were very happy with the park and enjoyed the quiet and the solitude.

We booked online for a quick overnight stay. I think there was 1 site left. Checked in and proceeded to site- a gravel driveway UPHILL and slanted. We called front desk to ask for another site since we were pretty sure our levelers would not work. They said no place to move - “but you can come up and scream at me in person”….. I wasn’t screaming thank you! We had to use blocks with our levelers and it took 3 times to work marginally. We did not put out all our slides, fearing they may not go back in with the slant…. The rest of the sites looked pretty level. When we woke up this am- the level site next to us was empty. The road you turn on is not clearly marked (until you have driven by) and the road says not for heavy trucks!

While not filled with a lot of standard KOA amenities, it is a nice campground. You can’t get any more peace and quiet, which I am always looking for. It is just off of Highway 79, up a steep hill. Check in is at the hotel. Before you enter the campground. The site is built on a mountain with 4 distinct sections keeping it from feeling like your standard RV parking lot. Maybe st sites are pull thru with full hook ups. Because it is associated with the hotel, campers can use the small hotel pool and restaurant. The site has laundry, showers and a small dog run (all at the bottom of the hill). The site is filled with trees but most of the rv spots are full sun. The hill coming in off the highway is steep with a tight turn but doable. You are a stones throw to Lake Sutton. Recommend if you are looking for quite and low key.

Check in is weird, you have to go into the hotel which means you block in people's parked cars. There were three of us lined up which blocked most of the entrance parking.

Site is clean from what I can see, gravel pads seam quite level but mine was quite swampy due to rain.

In the higher number pads, you can guarantee a wonderful overview of the surrounding mountains.

All hookups excluding cable and the wifi sucks... Well the signal is great but the speed is less than 350kbps. TV service is almost non existent, a couple of digital channels and that's it, so if you're thinking of streaming, you're out of luck.

Other than that I would come back...

We got to the KOA entrance gate in our motorhome with tow car and saw the sign saying not to enter until checking in at the Days Inn Hotel. Unable to back up or turn around, we did a loop through the campground and back to the hotel parking lot. There are no RV check-in lanes and the hotel parking lot was fairly crowded, so we just pulled across two parking spaces and blocked one of the aisles while checking in. Although the KOA is not far from the interstate, the road to get there is steep and has some sharp turns. Inside the campground the roads are narrow with some steep hills possible (depending on which section you're in). Our site was sloped so we could not get our motorhome level with just the jacks and had to add some blocks under our low wheels. The sites are mostly pull-throughs, with a few back-ins. Our pull-through was plenty long and wider than average for a KOA, with a gravel pad, grass lawn, picnic table, and BBQ grill. The area was pretty with lots of trees and hills. We were only there for one night but never saw any KOA staff. They did have free WiFi that was slow but worked fine for basic usage. Verizon and AT&T both had strong service. We might use this KOA again as an overnight stop but will first look into what other options are available.

The only staff we saw while we were there was a hotel clerk in the Days Inn at the entrance to the campground where we checked in. None of your usual helpful KOA staff running around in carts with yellow shirts on. they do, however have a KOA computer and check-in and the receipt are genuine KOA.

Good for overnight stop while traveling. We were not able to level in our site. The other sites in our section seemed on a similar slant.

The grounds were very well kept and the whole place was attractive if a bit mountain steep.
