BRDof3...Rob 40 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 In line with my topic about non-Disney camping, where do you like to go? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I voted COE. My favorite spot is a COE campground in TN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Gosh, I can't vote because I'm evenly tied with state park and private non-KOA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4Brians.....Todd 103 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 If we're travelling and not familiar with any campgrounds in the area, we prefer KOA's. We have never found a "bad" one. Some local mom-and-pop campgrounds have told us they would have a site for our big 5er to fit in, but we have arrived to find that to be less than accurate.We have also found some that are almost impossible to maneuver in, and, shall we say, less than clean.I just feel safer making "blind" reservations at a KOA. They are always clean, friendly, and easy to navigate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ok Grumpy AKA Cindy~~ 9 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'm a big state park fan! I like the fact that you make a reservation for a site so you know what size your getting before you get there. Since I have a difficult time backing up I book a pull through close to the bath house. I like the price as well. We have some really nice State Parks in Florida! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 KOA's are usually reliable, sight unseen, and we get a discount from them. We used to use COE campgrounds when I worked for them, but our rig is pretty big for a lot of parks and smaller campgrounds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 As soon as we really go camping, I will be sure to vote. :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Yes, I will say that you can trust KOAs. That's great when going somewhere new. It's just that some of my favorite private parks aren't KOAs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 almost a year on the road and we have never stayed in a national parkthe one BLM we looked into was a scary scary placestate parks are oknon disney themed ones are okcity parks are sometimes ok but it depends on the city and location of parkwe usually spend most of our time in regular private parkswe usually stay in a campsite that has a good rating, in a safe area, with reliable aircard access, and full hookups.. so it's kinda hard to vote on one.

Grumpy and Grandma 740 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm with Kelly, can't vote. It all depends on where, as we travel we use an assortment of KOA's as well as private parks. There is such a wide variety of "quality" destination parks all across the country that we use just about all categories except FED and COE. We avoid the FED and COE since they normally have very limited facilities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kampfirekim 260 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 One of our fave's is a COE... but it was a close call between that one and a State Park we have at the beach. It was a virtual tie! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
