We actually found this campground using AI to help us plan a Memorial Day motorcycle/camping weekend and it worked out excellent! We camp with a 33' ATC Toy Hauler we tow with an F-350 quad cab long bed. At check-in, we were created by a professional and friendly staff member in a clean and orderly office/camp-store. Our pull-through site was more than ideal and we had enough room to pull the Hauler in, put the garage door down to unload, and park our truck next to it. If you're a motorcyclist and concerned about their gravel drive, don't be. The gravel is well compacted and maintained. Very easy and safe to ride on. Everything at the site worked well and was well maintained. Motorcycle riding in the area is really great by Illinois standards. The campground is ideally located for this. If you need anything for your RV, Galesburg has everything, including a Wal-Mart Supercenter, and is minutes away. This came in handy when we woke up to a flat-tire on Memorial Day. Super clean bathroom here too! Definitely a nice KOA.

Cleanest place we have stayed. Amazing employees. We enjoyed the frisbee golf, trail, and pond. Pool wasn’t open yet but it looked nice. Mature trees and level spots.

This KOA RV parks was clean, we'll maintained, and had a very friendly staff. The facilities were nice. Sites were level. Definitely would stay here again. They do have rental cabins but we did not use one.

We have stayed at Galesburg KOA 3 times now on our journeys. The mature trees are spectacular. The sites are very nice, clean and level with white gravel. There are lots of great amenities for adults and children. I appreciate the well-appointed laundry room. A beautiful fishing pond and nature trails. Just check your dogs for ticks if you let them sniff the edges along the nature trail. Nature being nature! We will be back! I appreciate the customer care!
