Hello,
Can I ask about your trip?
My question is in regards to your route. Do you take I95 the entire route?
It scares me straight just to think about the mayhem (traffic, speeding drivers, etc.) on that major interstate. I usually try to find alternate routes, but don't see any other options when coming from the north. Any advice?]]> Mon, 18 Aug 2014 08:59:19 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4516&PID=50240#50240 KOA- Cape Hatteras 2014 : Same here this is one of the best... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4516&PID=49990#49990 Author: Leo B

KOA has a membership which saves you money each stay, I believe 10%.  We like KOAs because the amenities are standard and the quality is usually very high.  We tried a few Good Sams and didn't like them.]]> Mon, 11 Aug 2014 15:41:54 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4516&PID=49989#49989 KOA- Cape Hatteras 2014 : That is sounding better all the... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4516&PID=49983#49983 Author: Escape Pod

They are really nice, we go on their site KOA.com and pull up their site map. Pick your first 2-3 choice and go down the list they are very accommodating. Also they have after season rates kick in after Oct. 1st. We usually grab the fisherman's package which is 30 days for $700.00. Includes full hook ups, wifi,cable. They have a great pool area and hot tub. The area restaurants stay open some through mid October and others through November. They are very pet friendly]]> Mon, 11 Aug 2014 08:06:52 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4516&PID=49982#49982 KOA- Cape Hatteras 2014 : Thanks...that's great info... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4516&PID=49981#49981 Author: Escape Pod

Thanks...that's great info to have. We have never been KOA campers in the past because we have never needed full hookup with the popup we had. We had a cassette toilet in it. But with the R Pod, we plan more KOA's. Do they allow you to pick a site after you get there or do they generally assign one for you? Maybe if they are not too crowded , we can request a backin like you guys suggested. I will call them today and see if we can request one ahead of time. Thanks again.

We had a pull thru site our first year, site 315, it was right up from the boardwalk...greats site. Last year and this we took a back in site right along the back dune/boardwalk. Get great sun rises and can watch the beach too!! It is a great campground!! They have a great sunset on the sound side of rte 12.]]> Mon, 11 Aug 2014 07:12:08 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4516&PID=49980#49980 KOA- Cape Hatteras 2014 : We'll be in our new 178 On... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4516&PID=49972#49972 Author: Escape Pod

We'll be in our new 178 On Sept 6th and 7th at Hatteras KOA...We got the pull thru because the website said it was best sites there. And the prices were the same for pull thru or back in ( full hookup). Are we doing right with that choice? We are also coming from Richmond area so if a hurricane approaches, we'll be close enough to home to judge going or not. We are very excited and will go on our first trip in the 178 tomorrow...heading to Kerr Lake and a federal campground. Been there lots in the popup and love it. Highly recommend North Bend recreation area at John Kerr Resivour.

There are KOAs around -- one very close to the Grand Ole Opry, which is centrally located enough to be a great base for touring Nashville.  I know nothing about the KOAs, or any of the other campgrounds within a hundred miles though. I suppose the KOAs are mostly about the same....

Hey Fred,

We will be at Assateaque in Late September for a couple days before heading to Cape Hatteras for October. Hopefully will be chasing the red drum south. Have caught several of them over the last couple years, what a blast!!!

We're going to OBX after Labor Day.  It's like night and day before and after Memorial Day and before and after Labor Day.  We much prefer the "off" season.

We are thinking of contingencies though in case of a hurricane.  I figure early September is exactly when you'd plan to be in the OBX if you wanted to be there during a hurricane but didn't have a forecast.  Thinking about northern NM & southern CO, the Dakatos, Lake of the Woods, Ontario, or anything else...

For the OBX, and anywhere we have the choice, we like the NPS campgrounds as they seem quieter, have more room generally between campsites, and we can support the park system.  Plus they are much cheaper with our senior passes now.  We have a generator and one of those luggable sewage things, so hookups aren't much of an issue.  We are seldom in camp when we are awake anyway.  That argument works both ways though, I guess, for and against NPS campgrounds.  Of the OBX NPS campgrounds, Billy Mitchell is our favorite, then Ocracoke.  We like at least a little topography!

We'll be fishing specks and red drum @ Assateague Island around the same time. If you hear someone yell, "Fish on!!!" just look north and wave!
