KOA's: nice or neglected?

Hi, I just want to hear from other Airstreamers out there on their thoughts about KOAs. My experiences are: years ago they were neat, clean, fun, and easy to find and / or get to. Now forty years later the KOA owners have not spent one lousey dime to upgrade, rebuild, or even repaint these old rundown campsites. Not all of them are dumps, but too many are headed that way. In Idaho, Coar D'Arlene the KOA is great, but the KOA in Sisters, Oregon is a run down dump; Looks like nothing has been done to it since it was first built. Sisters, Oregon KOA is a dust bowl with dead trees, horrable landscapeing, and run down facilities. I made reservations for the Sisters KOA from Corvalous KOA; Corvalous was great, when we got to Sisters we were very disappointed. Later we found out that there was a really nice independent camp ground at the other end of Sisters. Wish we knew about that one instead of thinking all KOAs were great. Years ago I liked all of them, but now I think maybe one out of five is great, one out of five is alright, and three out of five are dumps. Corvalous, [Forgot how to spell it] Oregon is also a great KOA. I forgot the locations of all the crappy KOAs we stayed at, Maybe I just don't want to remember the bad ones or maybe it's just an age thing. Let me and the forum know how you feel about today's KOAs.
