Great KOA

This is a great place to stay when in the Galena area. It is about 40 minutes away, but is nice to be away from the traffic. The KOA store is well stocked and has some pretty cool souvenirs!

Very family friendly

This is the second KOA I’ve stayed at and is by far the better one of the two, the staff was super friendly and there was a lot of activities for the kids to do. My family and I will definitely be back here!
