Agree fully about KOA and Jellystone. We've found a couple of KOA's that are reasonable (more or less) and not bad parks but by and large they pack you in and stick it to you on the price.

However, to be near two of our children and two of our granddaughters for the winter holidays we decided to stay at a KOA that I would call "OK" but nothing special. AFTER we made our reservation they became a Jellystone Park. No change in price, though. The monthly rate is actually decent but still not cheap. We arrived a couple of days ago. The power is excellent. The water pressure and quality are excellent. The water connection is in a hole in the ground with a cover. Easy to connect my heat taped hose to. And we filled a couple of trash bags with leaves and dropped them in the hole for additional insulation. We're in a pullthru long enough for our rig, our truck, and our car, and maybe one visiting car. And our neighbors, while not a long ways a way, are not right on top of us.

Again, we generally avoid KOA and Jellystone but this one is ok. The best part is we no longer have to drive clear across Kansas City and its traffic to reach our children and grandchildren. And the 100 lb. propane bottle cost is $30 less than what we paid in the park we stayed in last year at this time.
