The KOA in Littleton / Lisbon . NH is really nice and the KOA in Cape Hatteras is our favorite!]]> Fri, 05 Aug 2016 21:07:57 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8497&PID=80094#80094 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8497&PID=80092#80092 Author: JHoffman

I do have to say that the Twin Mountain KOA in the White Mountains of NH is a very nice KOA.  I think it's mainly the KOA "Resorts" that have. Kinda lost sight of what camping is all about.]]> Fri, 05 Aug 2016 20:56:59 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8497&PID=80092#80092 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8497&PID=79956#79956 Author: Podster

Our experience with KOAs is that some are really good and some are really bad. The good ones seem to to have active owners on site taking care of things.  ]]> Wed, 03 Aug 2016 07:01:19 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8497&PID=79956#79956 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8497&PID=79954#79954 Author: coopercdrkey

I can neither commend nor criticize KOA, never having stayed at one, but our exclusive preference is the State Parks system in Florida.  We have never had a site too small for the R-Dome, for example, and services are excellent including well maintained, clean bath houses.

We've been in state parks and commercial campgrounds all over and we've experienced cramped and trashy and golf-cart hell (KOA Seattle, Jellystone western MD), cramped and trashy state parks (stay away during the "big 3" holidays), and the best of all worlds as well (Rice Creek Chain of Lakes State Park in MN, Lake Mead NP in NV, Tucamacari KOA was decent).  We prefer state and national parks most of the time but schedule in KOAs for laundry on long trips.]]> Mon, 01 Aug 2016 22:13:22 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8497&PID=79875#79875 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8497&PID=79874#79874 Author: JHoffman

I think the key with KOA's is to stay away from KOA Resorts.  Both camps were KOA Resorts and they were both awful. Before we got the pod we stayed in their cabins and really liked it.  We have stayed in many between Wichita Ks and St. Johnsberry Vt over the years and only stayed in a couple we didn't care for but both of the ones we stayed in this trip were awful!  The only good things I can say about them is the staff was friendly and the facilities were clean.  This trip was the first time we stayed at a KOA that had permenitlly parked RV's with storage sheds and golf carts. It was like staying at a mobile home park. ]]> Mon, 01 Aug 2016 22:11:55 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8497&PID=79874#79874 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8497&PID=79865#79865 Author: Leo B

That is sad to hear  We go to a lot of KOA's and really love them!]]> Mon, 01 Aug 2016 21:39:04 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8497&PID=79865#79865 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8497&PID=79863#79863 Author: JHoffman

So before we bought our pod we were KOA kampers.  Not anymore!  We just got back from an 8 day trip to Niagra Falls and Watkins Glen, NY.  The first KOA was about 70% permanently parked campers and they all had golf carts.  It was very noisy and dusty from all the carts buzzing around all over the place.  The second KOA was right next to a busy road and a railroad track!  The camp sites were small and right on top of each other.  Again it was very noisy.  We used up all our points and won't be staying in another KOA ever again.  From now on its State Parks!  They are much cheaper and quiter.  The Watkins Glen State Park looked like heaven compared to the Watkins Glen KOA.  We stayed at Bear Creek State Park in NH a few weeks ago and it was the same way.  Lots of room between camp sites and very quiet.  we aren't into all the crazy extra activities that the KOA's offer, at least not enough to sacrifice the quiet peaceful atmosphere you find in State Parks.]]> Mon, 01 Aug 2016 21:24:25 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8497&PID=79863#79863
