The Details
Westfield KOA ranks up as one of the nicest KOA’s we’ve stayed at. Most KOAs are decent but come with a somewhat high price. Westfield has the price, but it is in a pretty nice location near the shore of Lake Erie and goes the distance on a few extra amenities that most KOA’s don’t offer which made for a very pleasant stay. Westfield actually has everything I think is required to call itself a resort: pool, spa, food service, and a rec hall/game room as well as some kind of scenic attraction. The only think mitigating that is that each is pretty small in scale. The pool is more a place to cool off than to swim and the food service has a limited selection of Pizza, Wings, and deep fried Smelt from the lake.
The private showers were nice, but they are pretty small and I had to do some gymnastics to get my socks on without getting them wet after my shower. That said, the hot water was delightfully hot. There is a nice public park right across from the Westfield and a marina and beach just a block or two up the road. Westfield is no tourist mecca, but it is a sweet little roadside town with a long history and some spiffy local eateries. If you don’t mind a one to two hour drive, you can get to Niagra Falls from here.
I thought this was a nice lake side touch to add to the playground.
Like many KOA’s the site itself is very pretty with the perfect combination of large trees for shade, well-maintained lawns, and smooth gravel pads and roads. They really know how to make a park feel like a park. There is a bit of road noise from Route 5, just on the edge of the park. It’s not enough to make it through a closed up camper, but if you have the windows open it is a constant whine of engines going by. The wifi is free, but we found it didn’t reach very far into the park with much of a signal, something they could stand to improve.
Like every KOA, I wish it was cheaper. Even with our membership discount, I consider the price to be high. It is the only reason I can’t quite give Westfield a perfect score. Well, there might be one other reason…
Um, I may have embellished this photo a bit. The footsteps are really there and lead to the game room under the office. The glowing eyes and “Free Ice-cream” seemed appropriate additions somehow.
