Port Huron KOA

We were here from Friday night to Monday in early June.
Pros:
–Lots to do, relatively clean, staff was friendly.
Cons:
–Nearly everything closed at 2 p.m. on Sunday. We were really surprised and disappointed.
–The activities are fun but very expensive. Nothing except the pools are included in the cost of camping. For example, the water slides cost $ 10 for two hours. Mini golf is $ 6 per person. Bumper boats are $ 5 for 7 minutes.
–The pool was freezing cold. They need to heat it. Even the kids were put off by it, and kids will swim in anything.
–The mattresses on the bunk beds are about 4 in. thick, which is not good for adults to sleep on. I had to double up the mattresses to get any sleep. The mattress in the big bed in the front room is 6 in. thick, which seemed ok for my husband
I will be back, with revised expectations.

So here we are on Sunday afternoon in the middle of June and the place is shut down. Saturday was fine. Friday was shut down early. What a rip. Sure glad I am wasting a vacation day tomorrow because we stayed an extra night. Nothing in the brochure says that they close early you have to read it on the door when you are already here. Oh and the prices are the same.
All glitz no substance.

It’s a camping metropolis. They have everything here. All they need is some more pool space because it was overwhelmed on the hot days we were here. We already booked a Fall trip here for a weekend.

So, this is our 5^th or 6^th in a row coming to Port Huron KOA, which I love. It has plenty of activities for the whole family. When you check in you get a list of free activities they offer everyday and the times. They also have 2 pools, a pillow jumper (free), sports court and noticed this year they built a gym. I mean there is so much to do no one should ever get bored. For purchase, they have bikes you can rent, sawmill city, which offers bumper boats, mini golf, batting cages, water slides and go carts. Those are all activities at additional charge. Okay, now my complaints (which I usually don’t have because I love this place), 95% of the staff is teenagers that don’t give a damn about customer service. It seems as though one person got hired and they told their friend to work there and so on. You can never find any adults in charge. Second, their should be a cutoff time of when cars are allowed to drive through the camp area. At 11 pm cars were driving all around not very safe. Third, never had a problem with the bathrooms or shower area, but this year they were absolutely DISGUSTING. We walked to three different areas where showers were and omg! Eww! Hair everywhere blocking the drains, on the floor, there was even a maxi pad on the floor in one of the showers. I know this is the campers fault too, but come on, you rave about your facilities and never once saw a cleaning crew morning, day or night. When we first started going there for about the first 3 – 4 years it was awesome, but not so much now with customer service. PLEASE REVERT BACK TO YOUR OLD WAYS. If not, we might need to find a new spot for our annual camping trip. It’s so sad because we love it at Port Huron KOA.

Spent two weeks here, great RV Resort. Friendly staff and super clean. Worth the price.

Staying for a September weekend, where the weather is cool, my family members stayed at a Kozy Kabin, which had air conditioning and a few beds. I was slightly disappointed that there was no soap, but instead, there was dish soap in the bathroom. The décor was mostly military themed, nothing else. We had to borrow a grill from another cabin. The toilet may not function properly. It was okay, but it should have been a bit better.

This place is so cool! It’s like a big Disney World party except at a camp. It’s got everything you can imagine — a pool, a doggy park, a sports complex, bumper boats, stores, playgrounds, and the list goes on. There are endless options for lodging– we tented for $ 30/​night, but there are various options for RV sites as well as basic to luxury cabins. The staff is so friendly and accommodating as well. We had a great time!

Unfortunately this place did not meet my expectations.
Frankly it was a little too white trash for me.
About 50 people congregated at the single site next to ours to listen to the football game on the car stereo at about 100 decibels — which is obnoxious. Then in a haze of been and whiskey they launch into a 4 hour beanbag tournament where the language was a little too off color for my 3 year old. I am all about having fun but when an argument breaks out over who drank the last of the «Evan Wilson» whiskey… it probably not the family friendly atmosphere KOA was going for.
Plus the fact that we had to wade through about 50 beer cans littered on the site just to get to the bath house didn’t make me happy. KOA staff did nothing.
Quite hours? what quite hours? There were several parties that lasted well into the night — until 1 PM with music blaring at levels that could have easily been heard all over the camp. And nothing was done about it. Seriously if you’re going to advertise quiet hours someone should enforce them. Again the staff did nothing. We were literally at the mercy of the party. I am not sure how anyone, especially families were able to get any sleep.
After 3 hours of sleep I was too tired to demand my money back but really should have.
Still pissed.

Wow! I stopped in for a family get-​together weekend. I wish I would have showed up a day sooner.
This is a camping resort! They have plenty of activities for families. Not many tent sites, mostly trailer and RV sites, along with lodges and cabins (KOA calls them kabins). Lots to do, rental bikes (2– and 4-​seaters), golf carts galore. A frontier town area to let the kids roam and buy souvenirs, candy, etc.
Some of the KOA activities include: evening hayrides, large game room, enclosed playgrounds, horseshoes, Volleyball courts, free movies, indoor group meeting hall, general store, hand-​dipped ice cream, two swimming pools; Directed activities, such as Hula-​hoop contest, treasure hunt, make a pirate hat, hop-​scotch, scavenger hunt, finger painting, coloring contest, jump rope challenge, capture the flag.
The weekend community all-​you-​can-​eat breakfast (8:30−11:00am) is catered and at $ 5 for adults /​$ 2.50 for kids, it is a bargain.
Sawmill City recreation park is right next door and you can get discounted tickets on the KOA side of the fence. A convenient gate allows access back and forth.
I noticed many out of state license plates, and quite a few vehicles from Canada!
(Of course, if the Ontarioans were from Sarnia or Point Edward, they drove a whole 10 miles to get there)!
Don’t let my reference to a resort fool you — this KOA is family friendly and not too hard on the wallet.

without a doubt, this koa is HUGE! it’s like a small town… the campers/​trailers are all set up like a little subdivision — even all of the access roads have street names… the facilities are clean, but be prepared to wait a while for shower time in the morning because the lines started forming around 8:00am or so… they have a pancake breakfast on weekend mornings, their staff is friendly and helpful, and they are dog friendly — very important to me… but the previous reviewer was right about one thing — it’s not «backwoods» quiet… because the place is set up like a small subdivision, you feel like you’re camping in your backyard as opposed to camping in the real woods…

I have to say, this campground has everything for kids. But if your looking for that backwoods quiet this isn’t the place. All in all though, it’s clean, fun and family friendly.
