For KOA Holiday Albert Lea Austin: A nice park, They are working hard to fix some issues caused by all the rain and storms. They have put in some new rock to help with some of the the soft and muddy sites. The grass needs mowed on some sites but that has not been easy with the soft grounds and new rock. Our site has new rock on it and was level . We only stayed one night but the bath house was very clean and nice and staff was wonderful. The in park WiFi was very fast and I had good cell signal on the Ver.. and AT.. networks
I would stay here again

For KOA Holiday Albert Lea Austin: From driving in on dirt roads full of very uneven surface and ruts and washes to approaching the office (opposite the building entrance), to indifferent young people at the registration, things just went downhill. Accessing this from the nearest road was about a 4" drop from the pavement to the dirt road. You drive through a dirt tunnel of trees, and large coaches must stay in the middle so as not to scrape. We were met with two carloads of bathing-suited people leaving the park. Scraped. We registered and were told where our site was, none of the four employees offered to show us. We found it OK but the interior roads are rutted, full of unevenness and a surface I can only describe as riprap, a large cheap rock used to divert water flow and prevent erosion. NOT for roads and walkways and parking areas. Walking on it is VERY difficult, twisted ankles will happen! Our bus would not level on this, the pads were sinking into the soft surface under these fist-sized rocks, so we just spent the night on the air levelers. Smoke from campfires kept us inside, so didn't explore the grounds. Water pressure was at approximately 40psi when we arrived, not excellent, but OK. The morning we experienced 4 psi, not enough to shower, laundry or fill sink for dishes. Husband went to the office and complained, but there were others there complaining they couldn't shower, etc either. Office staff said there was nothing they could do. So, when we went to leave, I noticed ruts in the neighboring site, as well as up and down the interior roads. Our bus had plowed the rocks ahead of us, and we were grateful for the power of our engine to get us out. The fist-sized rocks are simply being moved aside as people drive through them, leaving the wet ground exposed. Bad choice. Not a place we will return to.

For KOA Holiday Albert Lea Austin: Large, spacious sites with grass and a huge shade tree. We were on the backside by the soybean field, VERY quiet! Beautiful vistas! Had a large structure for the modest recreation center! Didn't use, but noted Projector & screen, popcorn machine, game tables, couches & chairs!
Level gravel sites...
Clean bathrooms, nice pool...would recommend
