Again, I know why I hate KOA. We try to avoid KOA because they are overpriced. We stopped today at the KOA in Holbrook, AZ because it fit our schedule heading north.
First the positive. The work camper in the office was polite and informative. The site accommodated our 55' rig and trailer plus the truck. Site was close to level. It has a grass dog run. Easy in and out.
Now for the downside. No concrete pad. Low water pressure. Wifi was a total joke. Nothing but a gravel parking lot. For $47 it should be much better.
I completely understand complaining about a bad experience at a particular RV park. If you feel that strongly about all KOAs, why keep going back?
The answer to why you pay more is a combination of convenience, location, and a consistently good, sometimes excellent product. In addition, the owners of KOA franchises will have higher operating costs.
No concrete pad? :S
