We will still stay at Lazydays from time to time. It is a great park with much to offer by being here. We just don't like the big bump in nightly rate and no weekly rate anymore.

Sounds like supply and demand to me. I'm sure there is a lesser park to fit your budget. But it won't be quite as nice as the KOA.
I also imagine someone else will come along willing to pay for the spot you vacated.

Be patient. Greed spreads....

Your post was a waste of time. I wasn’t asking for donkey dung, but rather for people to share other parks in the area that they like.

We like Sentinel Peak RV Park near downtown. It is close to a lot of things, including the trolley.

Nice thing about the Lazydays KOA is you're within walking distance of three RV dealers: Lazydays, La Mesa, Pedata. Freedom RV is down the street but it's a hike.

And Camping World is right around the corner.

It's been our experience that in general, KOA employees have no sense of humor and even less bedside manner.

I did realize that Jerry LaPlante commented on East Coast camping. 52 bucks is super cheap on the east coast. I've seen 80+ and it wasn't a Krudground either.

Actually, I draw the line at 70 because I can Super 8 it for that and park the RV in their back lot.... and have done that, many times in the past. I'm not a 'have to camp in the RV person. I'm cheap. We've been known to have dinner in the camper, parked in the motel parking lot and retire to our room to sleep and bathe. All good with me.

I prefer Quality Inn's because I'm on their bonus points program (free stays with points) but I can do anything where I can park and it costs less than an RV campground.

Aside from $100+ on the coast, I really don't remember what we have paid at campgrounds. If we just need a place to park, we will likely be at the Walmart, Flying J or BLM land.

We have stayed at some really nice KOAs - live bands, coffee houses, restaurants, dog parks, huge no-waiting laundry rooms, etc. I remember a KOA somewhere in the northeast that had an indoor heated swimming pool. Swimming in a warm, steamy pool with a light snowfall outdoors was fun beyond a small price.

For Tucson, Gilbert Ray Campground is beautiful and slightly rustic. Electricity and water, central dump station. No activities other than enjoying beauty.
