What's the definition of "kid friendly"? Does that include swimming pools and play sets? I consider state parks kid friendly, it's pretty much all we camped in when our daughter was little. But state parks often do not have the built in activities that a KOA or Yogi Bear does.
I think many people associate "family friendly/kid friendly" with a park that has at least some activities for children and families. There's no defined list of activities, but things like pools, beaches, playgrounds, video games, mini-golf would be examples.
I don't think there's any reason why a state park possibly with water access and, maybe, a playground wouldn't be considered family friendly.
I agree. I'm not complaining about the parks we stayed at with great reviews -- they were great and we were spoiled when we were at less awesome parks. Just after staying at a few at the beginning of the trip and then towards the end of our trip we had a park with a simple swing set and a small sandbox, my boys were very happy. Most notably, they weren't under my feet and wrestling each other non-stop.
My post was mostly to point out that for people with kids, there is a bit more digging necessary to enjoy it. That was news to me.
