A family-focused KOA near Ivy Lea in the Thousand Islands, liked for its kids' activities, pool and friendly staff, though several recent guests say the park feels tired and sites are tight.
This KOA sits just minutes from the Ivy Lea boat cruise docks in the heart of the Thousand Islands, which makes it a handy base for touring the area. It offers RV sites along with small and deluxe cabins, and it is set up very much with families in mind.
The kids' programming gets the warmest praise. Recent guests mention a jumping pillow, a large playground, a pool with a water slide, bingo, wagon rides, a petting farm, movie nights with free popcorn and scavenger hunts. Staff come up again and again as friendly and willing to help, and a couple of families found the bathrooms and grounds clean during their stay.
It suits families who plan to spend a lot of time on site and want the kids kept busy. Dogs are welcome, and one long-time visitor singled out the dog park as well kept.
Opinions split sharply on upkeep and value. Several recent reviewers describe the park as tired, pointing to overgrown areas, a closed arcade, washers and dryers out of order, cabin repairs left undone and patchy Wi-Fi, and a few feel it costs more than other KOAs nearby. Sites are small and hard to back into, and one camper near the entrance had road dust drifting over the site all week. If you are booking a cabin, confirm the exact type before arrival, and ask for a site away from the main road.
