The Setup

Arrival at KOA office, pick a site with pull-through or back-in options; internal roads are gravel and paved; plan for hillside sites with steps or gradual grades; set up in shaded areas if possible; verify site length before parking long rigs

The Vibe

Functional basecamp near a national park. Clean, convenient, and family-friendly, but not a secluded wilderness escape.

Bath & Laundry

Bathrooms provide flush toilets with lighting and are well maintained. Showers are clean with good water pressure and plentiful hot water, though some shower floors may be dated—wear flip-flops. Potable water spigots are available; an on-site dump station serves RV waste. Bear-proof dumpsters are provided for trash, and firewood is sold at the store. The on-site store stocks essentials, local items, and fudge. Cellular service can be spotty; provider details aren’t specified.
