The reason KOA's charge so much is because they can. :) Like you said, all you were offered was overflow, so that means the place was full. Lots of people paying $43.
I've always assumed that the KOA's are high because of franchise fees, but never really cared enough to find out. We stay at KOA's when nothing else is available nearby, never seek them out because they tend to be crowded and overpriced. But sometimes there is little choice. And they generally are very kid friendly.
X2 We avoid KOA like the plague. Have yet to find one that wasn't on a busy highway, usually adjacent at least one set of railroad tracks. The sites tend to be small and very close together. Add in the noise of lots of kids (as that is the market they serve), combined with what ares always the highest rates in the area and staying there for us just makes no sense.
If you travel with kids, have lots of money, and like tight sites KOA is your kind of park.
:S
As always.... Opinions and YMMV.
X2 I have found this to be true also. KOA has it's apologists/supporters on this site as well as it's detractors. I find the detractors reasoning much more convincing than the others. They are high priced for whatever area they are in and are often not any better than those of similar amenities at much lower prices.
