Banning Stagecoach KOA Journey

This place may be great if you arrive during office hours with a normal check in. Sadly that was not our experience. They advertise late check in, which was the reason we went there. When we arrived late in the evening to the late arrival desk.. we discovered they do not provide the bathroom or shower codes after hours. Many parks we have stayed at during our RV travels have a very smooth late arrival process where everything you need is provided in an envelope or via a QR code with online payment methods and info is emailed immediately. That was not the case here. After a long day on the road we arrived tired expecting to settle in. Instead we were left without access to basic facilities and had to decide whether to keep driving or pay more than $60 simply to park the RV for a few hour

Reception Isabel has the personality of a rock. A couple walked in to check in, as I a patron, were checking my mail. They were very polite, friendly and happy to check in. Reception said “What Site” no hello, no greeting, no positive energy whatsoever.

We were going to dry camp in the mountains nearby. But when the weather report called for snow in the low elevations we cancelled and came here for a few days. We've been to a number of KOA's, they're not always great. But this one was on the low end. When I pulled in there was a sign with an arrow saying to stay to the right for check-in parking. But there are no designated parking spaces. You just have to block the road. Went to the office, all the lights were off. Store has barely any merchandise. One cooler is unplugged and the other has just some soda and water in it. Several flags, including their American flag, are torn and tattered. Everywhere you look there are things that are broken that no one fixes. I paid for a premium site, what I got was a broken concrete picnic table pad

Great KOA tucked into not the nicest looking town. We have been here twice now and would recommend for an overnighter. Really nice people and super clean bathrooms.

I suggest to the reader of this review, stay away. Some of the full time residents at this resort drive on its streets as they do on public streets. One backed into my truck, throwing up gravel while doing so, at 130 in the morning.
