LOL! Just another "let's bash KOA" thread. You read the policy, you agreed to the policy and then you complain. If you didn't like it you should have moved along. What cracks me up is some of you think that KOA is the ONLY type of campground that has strict policies that they enforce. Many private campgrounds do so as well.
It is so easy to avoid this type of thing. If you don't like the policy, DON'T STAY THERE. None of us are "special"-we all should be expected to abide by the same rules. If you've had an emergency or unpredictable delay then ask for an exception. If they don't give it to you remember it's THEIR right to not do so. These are not charities, they are businesses.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be

Just wanted to mention that if you reserve a campsite at a KOA park, be very sure you can make it. They have a 48 hour cancellation policy!!
If you make a reservation today for a site tomorrow, and something happens and you can't make it, you pay for tomorrow night anyway.
48 hours is a ridiculous amount of time! 24 hours notice is bad enough when you never know what may happen with an RV! Most RV Parks we have dealt with have a 12 hour or less cancellation policy.
Personally, we will avoid KOA parks in the future, or at least not book them in advance.

Credit card fees run around 2.5% of the transaction amount and is charged both when a payment is taken and when a refund is issued. Then there is a separate transaction fee every time a debit or credit is processed. Plus the park is paying an employee and had taken that site out of inventory, possibly missing a reservation to replace yours. Why should the park lose money because your husband got sick?
We stayed at a certain KOA in GA, many, many times. One of our favorite spots and also used it to go to if a hurricane was headed anywhere near us in FL. I had made reservations for another stay and my late husband got sick and we couldn't make the trip. Cancelled in plenty of time and got charged a 10.00 cancellation fee. Guess I was lucky? Haven't been back there since, all because of 10.00 and being a long time customer. Since I am up for renewal, with their new policy, I will let that pass.
