I just saw the fantastic banner ad for KOA camping on TT. Anyone ready to KOA camp? Now, doesn't that sound fun?

Sure, but it's cheaper just to go camp in the Wal-Mart Parking lot.

CBS Sunday morning actually had a guy RV across the country and he stayed in Wal-Mart parking lots. The whole segment was pretty funny.

Little did those big corporate types at KOA know that the audience here would be so nonaccepting to car camping...

Hey wait a minute, did I just say "big corporate types" and "KOA" in the same sentence?

Yah, even down here in Alabammy it's getting expensive at the state parks. I think it was $15/night for a water and electric site the last time I went. Primitive sites are $10/night I think.

KOAs are pretty coold when you have been out on the trail for a week and you need a plce to sit back and relax....they usually have top-notch sites (well manitained) and excellent restrooms. Also they usually tend to prime real-estate in great locations. Its a great way to unwind at the end of a big trip before flying back home or whatever...

I stayed in many KOA campsites around the country as a kid. It was a reliable and inexpensive way for my parents to show 6 kids a large part of this country.

Pennsylvania has so many lovely state parks, there is no reason to even consider KOA. Maybe a private campground near Knoebbel's Grove, but the rest of the state is pretty well covered.
Scorchy, have you checked out Gifford Pinchot? (nice cabins, truly)

LOL....
Don't knock the KOAs too much!!!

Thinkbubelz and I have camped at many a KOA when travelling by car-- In most places, they are a great alternative to a cheap hotel--especially when passing through a town on our way to our "final destinations" (usually one of the National Parks).

Plus, sometimes, they even cook up a great hot breakfast-- you can wash in clean facilities, yet still experience the outdoors (to a small degree), Their "Kamping Kabins" work well, too--especially if travelling with non-campers.... ;-)
