I am amazed - and, quite honestly, pleased.
I thought this would turn into yet another KOA bashing thread but almost to the opposite. I think people made their points well and, surprisingly, most people were positive of KOA.
We have stayed in exactly 175 different RV parks in our 17 years part time RVing. What we have found is that it is location, season and amenities - KOA or other (and KOA tends to have more than the average place I think).
We were thinking of perhaps heading back up to Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Glacier, etc in 2016. All places in those areas we have stayed and all the prices have gone up considerably in the last few years. And only one is a KOA.
We used to live in Estes Park, CO and the prime season rates have skyrocketed and the places have, in our mind, gone downhill considerably over the last few years for the summer. Location, location, location and timing, timing, timing.
We won't stay there anymore - we stay down in Loveland at Riverview RV Park and love it.
So, everyone, enjoy your time and the place you stay - $20 or $150 per night is YOUR choice in most cases.
Be safe.
