LOL I've heard about that campground and have read the reviews! ;)

We have stayed here many times,and believe there is no more scenic or quiet CG in the area. We do obey the rules, and have camped here with two quiet dogs, a cat, and even once with a goldfish (all at the same time) with no problems. If we travel back to the area again we will definitely stay here!

Actually we looked into staying at the koa again this year. We're bringing my parents with us, but our small trailer isn't big enough for all of us to be comfortable. I inquired about a cabin for them. Granted it was not during camping season when I inquired, but the response from the koa was that my parents would have to make the reservation after they open for the season and pay with their own credit card. This was dispite my original explanation that the trip was a gift to my parents.

When I called Beacon Hill, they were very accommodating. They gave us a site near the park model we reserved for my parents, and had no problem with me making both reservations on my card.

Last year when we stayed at the koa, they charged us $12 to bring my parents onto the site for less than an hour (it was less than an hour before guests had to leave). This happened twice, so it cost me $24 to have my parents sit with us for a cup of coffee two days. It's not like it's a resort and they were using amenities.

These are the type of things that particular koa owner pulls. Is it in the rules? Yeah, but really, charging $12 to bring a couple of guests onto the site for a cup of coffee? They could have cut us a little break.

Would I return there? Perhaps, as it is in a nice location. It would be a lot more pleasant, though, with nicer owners.
