Visiting family.
Gorgeous site; highly recommended.
Stayed two days to wait out very high winds. Very bare campground, all rocks. One interesting campground tenant: a 30+ foot boat on a trailer.
1001 Lochland Court, Fort Collins, Colorado, United States
Visiting family and friends.
Bare bones, but good for an overnight stay.
Nice campground.
Only 30 mi from downtown Chicago. This is actually a Cook County park with 5 RV sites, a few tent sites, and some cabins. RV-only during the week. If you can get a reservation, this is as close to Chicago as you can get, and it's really quite reasonable price-wise. Very pretty site. Back-in only; no pull-thru.
Perfectly adequate, otherwise nondescript.
144 Hunters Lane, Buffalo, New York, United States
Visiting family.
Only reason we stayed here is that we left Buffalo a day earlier than planned and couldn't get into the Washington PA campsite for the night. This campground is a bit of a pain to get to.
Up on a ridge, inconveniently close to two major interstates, and yet access from both highways involve harrowing 3-mile drives on twisty, narrow roads. Do not arrive after dark; you will not enjoy the drive in.
Surprisingly busy, very large, with a very tight entry through an inconvenient access-control gate.
Very close to Six Flags Saint Louis, which might be nice in a post-covid world.
The most uneven campsite of the entire trip. 80 foot site; the first fifty feet was a gentle downward 2 degree slope, with the last 30 feet being a solid 5% downgrade. All the easy-in-easy-out large pullthru sites were like that. Bizarre.
Our campsite was 60 feet away from the BNSF Transcon main rail line, so 10,000-foot trains came through every 10-15 minutes for the entirety of our stay.
Wasn't a planned stop. The local Freightliner shop does good work; 26 hours from check-in to ready-to-drive. (We spent two nights at the KOA because the repair was done too late in the day to leave immediately.)
Minuses: Railroad to the north; airport (private, commercial, and military) to the south. Plus - there's a Fuddruckers in town, so we got to-go for dinner both nights.
Flat, flat, and empty. Midway between Grants and Cibola Sands; there's no "nothing" there that the KOA has a patio with full bar service. In a non-covid world I'm sure it's where the locals go so they don't have to drive ten miles east or west.
