Concrete / Grandy Creek KOA Holiday

Not the worst place we've ever stayed but feel that $60 is overpriced for the SUPER tight small spaces, gravel drive and our site only having water & electric. Greeted by a friendly young man when we arrived, laundry room was clean and adequate and we had no issues using the dump on our way out. Nice area for walking the dog and there's a dog run, basketball court and pool. It's quiet and peaceful but not somewhere we would choose to stay again because the spaces were so close together and roadways were narrow in our section.

Stayed 10 nights. There was a septic/sewer issue at the main bathhouse on the women’s side that closed the entire bathhouse including the laundry periodically and after the first weekend part of our stay closed it all from Tuesday to Friday. This was a big inconvenience as our site was at the far end of the smaller 2nd bathhouse. Sites were good and level, and restrooms were cleaned and stocked frequently, but the bathroom situation needs fixing!!!

Had a great time and looking forward to going again. They were very accommodating and friendly. Though this is the first KOA I've been to that charges for the bouncing pillow for the kids. But otherwise, great experience.

Not bad, not great. Only a few issues during our stay. Our campsite was littered with cigarette butts when we arrived. Fought pesky little flies our entire stay. They shut off the water to the park on Thursday morning, found out when I couldn't flush after using the commode in our trailer. There was no notice of the water being shut off. Did enjoy visits to the local area, the town of Concrete, Baker Lake, Bay View on Padilla Bay.

Some may really love this place and there isn’t anything blatantly wrong here, but this type of camping is not for me. I generally prefer campgrounds with a little more space and less crowded so take this review for what it’s worth. My first time at any KOA and honestly I was a little disappointed by how greedy this company is. It seems there was an up charge for everything for example, there is an extra charge for WiFi and they wanted $15 extra to secure a specific site. I generally knew what KOAs are about before booking the site but this was the only campground available in the area on the specific dates I was looking for so I didn’t really have another choice. Way over priced in my opinion. Paid about $55 (with tax and fees) for our little patch of grass with water and electric only. I let them pick my site instead of paying extra to secure the spot i wanted. We have a 22ft class B. Luckily the showers are free and clean, and that’s really all I needed for our two-day visit to North Cascades. Some sites have really great shade but ours, site 57, did not during the heat of the day. Cell service for Verizon was good, not great, but could still stream Netflix after buffering a little while. Our neighbors were really friendly and quiet, however I caught the “dad” sneaking off into the woods directly in front of our site to dump his portable septic tank! I couldn’t believe my eyes. Not once, but twice he did this! I’d had enough at this point and said I wouldn’t be back to any KOA if I didn’t have to. My impression is that generally those who book KOAs have no idea about camping (which is fine, I know everyone starts somewhere) and don’t know campground etiquette. Again, it’s just not my cup of tea but I can see how all the amenities, such as the pool, playground, bouncy blob, etc, would be fun for families or beginners.
