Hagan-Stone Park near Greensboro, NC: Campground Review

December 22, 2016 by kokotg 2 Comments

It’s finally here: the very last post about our big summer trip! I mean, except I would like to do a kind of overview of our first long RV trip–lessons learned, things we’d do differently, things that worked well, and all that kind of thing. But Greensboro, NC was our last stop of the trip, […]

Gettysburg Campground: Campground Review

November 2, 2016 by kokotg 2 Comments

Travel dates: June 14-16, 2016 Sometimes when we’re researching a destination and reading campground reviews, there’s a pretty clear favorite that stands out above all the others in the area and makes for an easy decision. Gettysburg, though, has an abundance of close, well reviewed campgrounds, and we had a little trouble making up our […]

Travelers Rest/N Greenville KOA Campground Review

October 18, 2016 by kokotg Leave a Comment

I came away from our Labor Day trip to the Greenville/Travelers Rest, SC area feeling like we’d really mastered the weekend trip. And a big part of that was choosing an awesome and perfectly situated campground. We’d had the Travelers Rest/N Greenville KOA on our list of campgrounds to try since before we even got […]

One Night in Saugerties, NY: Saugerties Lighthouse and Saugerties KOA

September 28, 2016 by kokotg Leave a Comment

Travel dates: June 13-14, 2016 My grandfather grew up in Saugerties. When I told my mom we were going to be stopping there, she said I should go by and see the house he lived in. But she didn’t know the address, so it would have required some research and/or calls to extended family, and […]

Boston Minuteman Campground and Minute Man National Historical Park

September 24, 2016 by kokotg 2 Comments

travel dates: June 11-13, 2016 Let’s take a moment to reflect on my title up there and on the fact that the campground spells minuteman as all one word, whereas the NPS site splits it into two. Is there some deep significance to this? Is it like how the Wallace Stevens poem is called “The […]

Imagination Mountain in Cosby, TN Campground Review

August 30, 2016 by kokotg 4 Comments

I’m once again interrupting the posts about our long early summer trip to talk about our late summer trip to the Great Smoky Mountains. Choosing a campground near the Great Smoky Mountains is a daunting task. First you have to decide what area you want to stay in in or near a huge park that […]

Atlantic Oaks in Eastham, MA: Campground Review

August 11, 2016 by kokotg Leave a Comment

We’ve spent a lot of time on the Cape over the years, but somehow Eastham had never been on our radar before. Now that we’ve been there, I’m not sure how we kept missing it; it really is an ideal location for exploring the Cape. It’s farther out from Boston, so the crowds are lower […]

A Few Days in Vogel State Park, Blairsville, GA: Campground Review

July 26, 2016 by kokotg 4 Comments

Not to get too political, but I love it when Big Government sends hundreds of thousands of unemployed young men off to build state parks for me and my family to enjoy eighty years later. Vogel State Park, on the southern end of the Appalachian Mountains and about two hours north of Atlanta, is the […]

Mystic KOA Campground Review

July 8, 2016 by kokotg 1 Comment

After the RVFTA rally and our stay at Lake-in-Wood, we had a long day of driving around NYC (which mostly went well, but we did hit the only significant traffic of our whole trip on this stretch).  We pulled into the Mystic KOA Sunday evening to find thick fog and a nearly empty campground. Which, […]

Lake-in-Wood Campground in Narvon, PA: RVFTA Rally and a Day in Philadelphia

July 3, 2016 by kokotg 6 Comments

I’m not sure you’d really call us rally people. If you were going to call us something. Other things would probably come to mind first. But when the dates and location for the RV Family Travel Atlas spring rally were announced last year right around the same time we were deciding that we really and […]
