KOA

Wow, one night at a KOA in Sioux Falls, South Dakota was $60, guess this is the last KOA I will stay at! Stayed in a nice campground near Mt. Rushmore for $40.

KOA's have always cost an arm and a leg.

We crossed them off our list many years ago.

For the most part, this can happen anywhere. We had an ambulance and firetruck in a park right at our site in Tucson, not a KOA. They knew the location from my smart phone even though I was a babbling idiot on the cell phone.

No I didn't but I was tired and I can afford it for 1 night, I just don't like to get ripped off. That is the highest price I have ever paid in 50 years of camping! To each his own but I think it is too high when you can stay in a beautiful area like the Black hills for less with just as many amenities as this! I just want people to know what to expect here. The park is nice although the interstate is near and the noise is noticeable, the people are nice but it just seems unreasonable to me (but I am old!) :W

We've been on the road for 3 weeks and have found the KOA's we have stayed in were well worth their money. We weren't forced to stay here. The nicest one we have found yet is the KOA in Bernalillo, NM. We will stay here from now on when we are in the area. It's too bad people are always bad mouthing KOA. If it too much for you, don't stay there. We have stayed in plenty of rv parks that were cheaper and you could tell why. It's a matter of choice. That is what is so great about rving. 🙂

Depends on location. I have paid $115 (Asphalt parking lot) and there is one close by that is $225(very crammed in). Neither is KOA.

Sure KOA is a few $$ more at times... they are very full also so how can you knock them for it?
While I don't really seek out KOA I have always had a pleasant stay when I do.
