KOA

KOA generally has more amenities. Guess what, that costs them and it has to be passed on. You don't want or need them? Then go someplace else - if you find a place more meeting your wants /needs /not needs or whatever. Oh, no place near there for miles? Gee, think that has something to do with it? Or whatever - could go on and on.

I tend to agree with you for the most part but it depends on where you travel and what type of parks you stay at. I prefer the nicer parks, big wide spots that aren't crammed together, well maintained landscaping, maybe a nice clubhouse, pool, wide paved streets etc. Others prefer a campground style, dirt or gravel roads, minimal amenities, just need hookups.

I find KOA's are somewhere in the middle. I have never been to any KOA that I'd consider upscale. They're almost always cramped tight spots, more of a campground than a resort but have quite a few amenities geared mostly for families. Some are very nice, others are dumps but thats the same with any other RV park.

The San Diego KOA is very nice, tons of amenities and while expensive to other parts of the country, is a decent value compared with other parks in the area.

Spots are a bit tight but not bad. But they need to remove large trees from the corner of some sites which makes getting in and out of the spot difficult!
