I hate KOA's. I avoid them like the plague. I prefer to boondock at city parks, county parks, and in a pinch a state or national park. Walmart has served me well, too. I try to avoid paying to park somewhere overnight, so KOA just does not suit me. They are the most expensive out there.
WOW I feel sorry for you and your negative and IMO very misinformed understanding of what appears private CGs in general.
We're not weekenders, but take "road trips" generally lasting 30 to 60 days with maybe one to three "destinations" often covering several thousand miles and find KOAs extremely convenient between destinations and reasonably priced when compared against other full service type CGs of which very few of those you stay at provide. I guess if you like always looking for water, a place to dump, and running your generator 24/7 for the A/C during the summer and enjoy "concrete camping" that's your choice, but I enjoy having the option of full hookups available. I don't often use the sewer during one night stops, but it's there when I'm ready to dump and I don't have to mess with waiting in line or messing with dump stations.
Your idea of camping would make me miserable with our "style" of RVing.
Larry- I know this may shock some of you but we sometimes go on trips without the camper..........
when we do we almost always stay in KOA cabins, motels are nasty, we took a 31 day trip with the kids in 2002 and all but 4 nights stayed in KOA cabins, as some have said they are kinda like eating at Cracker Barrel, " you know what you're gonna get before you get there " and we like knowing that, when we do go on long trips with the camper we sometimes camp at a KOA but usually never more than overnight.
to answer your question according how much you use it, like a National Park pass, it's not worth it if you are going to use it twice, but 4 times and you are saving money.
