Question:
Sat May 21 2022What does upgrading to KOA Standards actually mean. I wouldn't think they could move a freeway to one side of the park and a busy rail line to the other side. Maybe it includes spreading fine dust onto the roadways so every vehicle driving by can send up a cloud. Seriously, in my opinion, KOA's are usually the road hard and put up wet campgrounds, aka, the bottom of the barrel, and usually charge the highest rates in an area. And yes, there are a few nice ones, very few, the one just up the road from the Grand Ole Opry was very nice, but $150 a night. And the one in Petaluma is pretty nice too. But of the other 50 or so we stayed in were very dusty, extreme road & train noise and overpriced places....

Good question and I should have phrased it better without reference to general "KOA standards". I could see the place was poorly maintained in the past, and the new owner was still busy with repairs and upgrades. Even then the campground stood out positively compared to many others we visited this spring (KOA or otherwise). I recommend it. Jacob, Leiden, Netherlands....

We've travelled cross country multiple times and feel that we can always rely on KOA. We have never seen one that was "rode hard and put away wet"! Some are more basic, like the KOA Journey in Kingman and Visalia, some are very upscale like Nashville, Petaluma, and Pigeon Forge. Being part of the KOA chain ensures basic standards and a concern for your satisfaction. Most likely this one in time will live up to the KOA standards, especially since they're rating it at a "Holiday" level....
