I have never hear of rates that high at a KOA. I appreciate he let some of us know that are uninformed.
I imagine you have not been to a KOA in a tourist area.
Location Location, Location applies to KOA as well.
Sure in the boonies you can find a bargain, but if you venture to a tourist area the rates will increase.
Just called KOA in DesertHotSprings known as PalmSprings JoshuahTree KOA. Their highest nightly rate for in season Nov-March is $65 a night.
I actually stay near there in the winter and it's a nice park and it's for sure a Tourist location. I have stayed there when it was a Western Horizons park also.
I also went to their web site and there is NOTHING mentioned about rates.
KOA Rodanthe NC, $135.00 per night after Labor day (off season) and 3 night minimum. Drops to $99 come October. Not an oceanfront site.
No problem finding the rate the OP mentioned, takes seconds to get it.
How about $127.50 per night, two night minimum, along a river in PA?
Only gravel, no concrete, and the luxury of the CSX mainline directly across the river less than 100 yds away. About every 20 minutes a 200 car freight goes by, sometimes 2 at a time. Very peaceful. Not anywhere even close to a resort area, and pretty dumpy.
Looked up Joshua Tree out of curiosity, $65 spounds about right for what amounts to a paved parking lot.
