I thought I'd post our experiences at the KOAs we stayed at on our trip West. All were adequate and clean, though the one in Tucumcari, NM was no what I would expect from one. It wasn't so much a single thing, but cumulative little things, that caused me to be displeased with it. First, and I think they were within their right to do so though I didn't like it, they wanted to charge us for another campsite if we wanted to plug in the B van so the fridge didn't run the house battery dead overnight. So we didn't plug it in, and sure enough, the battery was dead the next morning. Good thing I removed the perishables from it before we turned in the night before. Then, the manager didn't seem to know what sites he had that would handle the length of our rig (just the truck and Bertha), and insisted on dragging me all over the campground on a golf cart before I firmly informed him the very first one was fine, and please return me to my truck, or I would get out and walk. They also wanted to charge extra for Sophie (our 20 # dog), but (I think) they decided not to. At least, I didn't see the extra charge on our bill, though there was an additional "hotel/motel tax" on it.
The one in Arkansas was clean and well-run, and relatively wuiet, even though I could throw a rock and hit passing trucks on the Interstate.
The one in Flagstaff was clean and pleasant, though cramped. It seems to be one of the very first KOAs built, and the spaces were small, and the electric was marginal, with a dump station (no sewer on the site).
The one in Victorville is no longer a KOA, so I don't know if I should count it, but it was a typical KOA, near the Interstate, etc. It was not bad, but was also kind of tight-feeling.
