They include Beaver (Utah) KOA, West Entrance KOA (Montana), Richfield (Utah) KOA and Circus Circus RV Park. Once our trip to Lake Havasu this coming week is completed, a review on the RV park there will be added.

After posting my reviews of three campgrounds we used during our recent trip to Yellowstone National Park, I was invited to add my reviews to the database.

Richfield KOA

When we left West Yellowstone, Montana to head home to Los Angeles, our plan was to take a little detour to drive through Grand Tetons National Park and, the next day, Zion National Park. We got up early to make the journey.

When we started out, we had no idea where we would be by late afternoon. As we planned to drive through Zion National Park the next day, we wanted to reach a campground in the vicinity of U.S. Highway 89. We decided to "wing it" and not make any reservations for any specific campground.

As it turned out, we were in the vicinity of Richfield, Utah in the late afternoon. It just so happened that there is a KOA Kampground in Richfield. So we headed there.

We reached the KOA in the late-afternoon/early-evening. The KOA is nestled in a residential area of Richfield, away from the beaten-path.

The campground is an average sized KOA and it had well-maintained grounds, clean restrooms and showers and plenty of shade trees. It also has mini-golf, pool, bike rentals and cable tv.

The KOA is family-owned and operated by Mike and Julie.

What really impressed me with this KOA is that the showers had great water pressure and easy to operate. This was the best campground shower I ever experienced!

As we arrived in the late-afternoon/early-evening, I did not take any photographs. But it is an attractive campground with grassy sites.

For more information on the Richfield, KOA, go here.

My grade: A.

Beaver, Utah KOA

During our recent trip to Yellowstone National Park, we stayed at KOA Kampgrounds.

First, while en route to Yellowstone, we stayed at the Beaver, Utah KOA, which was about halfway to our destination from Los Angeles. Second, our base of operations while visiting Yellowstone was the West Entrance KOA in West Yellowstone, Montana. Third, and the last, was the Richfield, Utah KOA.

This blog post will be the first of three reviewing the KOA Kampgrounds we stayed at. I should mention that each KOA is franchised and privately owned.

The Beaver, Utah KOA was located in a nice area of town with plenty of shade trees. The campsites tended to be a little on the narrow side, although they can accommodate RVs up to 90' maximum length. The grounds were nicely maintained.

The campground has a playground, pool and other recreational things to keep yourselves occupied.

Additionally, the restrooms and showers were very clean, which pleased my daughter Amber very much.

The campground is owned by Michael and Stephanie Joyner and is located at 1428 Manderfield Road, Beaver, UT 84713. For more information on the Beaver KOA, go here.

The Beaver KOA is one that I would not hesitate to stay at in the future.

My grade: A.
