We stopped by on our way through. They were so helpful! We are first time RV owners and the guy (Leo) was so patient and helpful! He explained everything and let us borrow a few things we didn't think to bring!
We typically avoid KOAs because they are generally overpriced with sites way too close together and they charge extra for kids, making them family UN-friendly in my opinion. This KOA should give lessons to all other KOAs as to how to provide a fun, family-friendly environment at a reasonable cost. We were only passing through so we only spent 1 night, but we would definitely return if we're ever in the area again. It was a convenient stop over for the night on our way to St. Louis. Check in was friendly and quick. Our site was easy in and out. They have fantastic amenities like a pool, bounce pad and mini-golf. We were pleasantly surprised that they did not charge extra for mini-golf like most KOAs do. I'm telling you, this place is not greedy like most other KOAs; they do not live up to the "Keep On Adding" reputation that KOA has established. We very much appreciated that they did not charge extra for kids. Thank you Kansas City KOA for doing it better than other KOAs; now I just wish the others would learn from you how to do it right. Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile all worked great.

Stayed one night, paying around $60 even with our KOA membership (a bit much, in my opinion). The spaces were tight: the power pole for the site to the right of us was pretty much in our site. We were also lucky they weren't completely full, as we would have had a lot of trouble leaving with our 37-foot fifth-wheel if we hadn't been able to drive through an empty site 10. The exit road between the sites and the office was one-way and very narrow.
Cell service was decent: my Verizon hotspot device with MIMO antenna got between 40-60Mbps down and 10Mbps up (enough for streaming TV), and my AT&T smartphone had 4 bars. The campground backs up to I-70, so there is a fair amount of road noise. They have two large fenced-in dog parks with 5-foot tall fences and no dog agility equipment, which we saw as a plus. Decent little playground for kids (we have none).

We stopped here as a 1 night travel stop. Not far from I-70. It actually backs up to it which creates an awful lot of road noise. This is billed as a Holiday KOA and they do have those amenities which appeared to be in OK shape.
As for the sites themselves, not thrilled. Our pull thru site was short, a bit un-level with poor outdoor space and a long pull for the sewer hose. Most of the campground is not paved so when it rains, you have a sloppy mess. Sites on the back side are right on I-70 which is a continual roar. Other sites we observed were not much better. We witnessed several large rigs unable to full get into their site. They had to unhitch and go park their tow vehicle some place else.
For $60 a night, I expected more. Would I stay again? Maybe, but sure isn’t my first choice.

Came through traveling west. I choose KOA since I expect at a minimum a level site. This even says KOA holiday and it must be the poorest KOA I ever experienced. I could not get my Motorhomes level in the original site 32, despite using blocks under the wheels and everything. Ended up upgrading to their premium aote since it was the only one left. On this one, with the use of blocks I could finally level out the RV. This is subpar. Add to this that the sites are very small, making it even harder to position the RV since you do want to open your slides, it is not a place I ever want to come back to. Oh, and did I mention it actually backs up to to I70? Road noise is ever ongoing.

This place was easy to access; check-in was smooth; people were nice; property was clean; site was level; and a lovely smell of barbecue wafted through the air (never did figure out the source.) The only negative was the lack of wifi. My site (#17) was on one of the property borders which might be why I was never able to maintain a connection. Did have decent service on T-Mobile and AT&T.

It’s a KOA , gravel sites levelish… pool looked nice . The women’s Bathrooms smelled like sewer and one of the two mornings the campground smelled bad too ( ??) Lots of traffic noise. We Thought it was far too overpriced for this place (and if you go , don’t waste your money on the KC baby back rib place they give you a menu for when you check in . It was so overpriced and underwhelming as to make me want to complain to the KOA for supporting such a poor business to travelers !)

Too pricey for what you get. Their new premium sites were small, our 39 ft just fit. Site was gravel and level. The site included a cement patio with fire ring, grill and table w/ chairs. A good idea but no shade so too hot to sit out… need a sunshade over outside area. Chairs were very uncomfortable.
Staff was pleasant and helpful.

We pulled in late and left early. There was only one spot left when we arrived at 9:15 and although there were no sites for late check-in The camp host was kind enough to find us and find a spot
The staff was really friendly. Sight was fine. Full pull through. Bathrooms were clean. Location was close to the road. They were making breakfast on Saturday morning for the guests.
We were away early. That said, 3. Mi up the road there was a loves where you could camp at exit 31.
