Over the years, whenever I go on a camping vacation, I plan ahead for where to say the night while en route to a destination. I also check for what RV parks and campgrounds are available at my destinations.

Most often, if there is a KOA Kampground, I will reserve a spot or take a chance and drive in and see if they have any available campsites. Usually they do.

Why do I pick KOA Kampgrounds? First, they are generally consistent in what facilities and amenities are available. Plus, as I have accrued bonus points from previous stays, I use them to get lower prices.

RV Travel has posted a poll asking, "How often do you stay at a KOA Kampground?" My response was "often". I would hazard a guess that it is around 70% of the time.

They begin their poll with:

Kampgrounds of America, better known as KOA, is the largest campground chain in North America with more than 500 locations. It was founded in 1962 in Billings, Montana, and has been a staple for campers for decades.

With its signature yellow signs and a wide range of amenities, KOAs are often a go-to choice for travelers seeking convenience, family-friendly activities, and dependable facilities.

KOA locations cater to every style of camper. Many of its properties also include perks like pools, dog parks, and planned activities for kids, making them an excellent choice for families on the road.

For those looking for extra comfort, KOA Holiday and KOA Resort locations often feature enhanced amenities like upgraded cabins, deluxe RV sites, and full-service cafes. But you’ll pay the price!

When you travel, how often do you stay at KOA campgrounds? Are you drawn to their consistent quality, or do you seek out independent or state park campgrounds for a different experience?
