KOA - Newton

Enjoy RV and tent sites at our KOA in an open, rolling landscape. Gravel, full hook-up, pull-through sites, and larger grassy back-in sites make your stay comfortable. Our cabins accommodate 4-6 people and are always clean, fresh, and ready for your arrival.
Relax by our refreshing pool (Memorial Day to Labor Day) or bring a lawn chair and cast a line for bluegill, bass, and channel catfish in the campground's fishing pond.
Cooler evenings are perfect for hiking the adjoining 1-mile nature trail, pitching horseshoes, or letting your children enjoy our playground, sand pit, jumping pad, and GaGa pit!  How about a game of disc golf?  Our 9-hole disc golf course gets everyone involved and out in the fresh air. We haven't forgotten your special pet - we have a fenced dog park where it can run free and off-leash while you relax on a bench.
