I am not going to start posting pictures of bathrooms, but the KOA I’m staying at has the nicest bathrooms of any campground I have ever seen. Better even than a lot of hotels I’ve stayed at. Each bathroom is an individual room, not a stall, with good water pressure and plenty of hot water. And they’re gender neutral, which makes so much sense to me. In fact, now that I’m writing about it, I sort of want to go take another shower, just to take advantage.
If I had kids with me, I’d also want to take advantage of the pool, the water play area, the playground, the in-ground trampoline-like thing, the sandbox, the mineral mining play station, and maybe even the volleyball court.
The colorful posts in the background spray water during the day.
You buy a bag of dirt at the camp store and then filter it using the gold mining pans and water. No promise of gold, but the dirt contains colorful rocks and fossils.
Since I have no kids with me… well, if there were less expensive campground options that were equally close to my aunt and uncle’s place, I’d probably go for one of them. But this is a very nice campground, and I have a great campsite. If I had a big vehicle, I’d be annoyed by how un-level my site is — it’s got a fair amount of slope — but it works fine for Serenity. And it’s tucked into a nice, private back corner, so dark that last night while I was falling asleep, I was counting stars (lots of them) and watching fireflies.
Haha, so what did you find in your bag of dirt?
…You bought a bag of dirt, right?
I did not! But in my defense, I haven’t been there when the shop was open.
Wow, am I ever impressed with your KOA… truly one of the nicest campgrounds I’ve ever seen/heard of. I’m putting it in my Travel folder for future reference! Thanks for posting the photos and description. One of these days we’re going to have an RV again and I’ll be able to visit some of the places you’ve been. Huge thanks!!!
There’s not a lot to do in State College, PA, though, and it’s a pricey campground, $50/night for cheapest sites and up to $65, I think, for the big ones. It’s a nice campground if you just want to hang out and play, though!
That bathroom looks cleaner than mine!
Ha, I didn’t use that one today because some had tracked mud and grass all over the floor. Puddles of it. Not cool. But obviously, I caught it at a good moment!
