Thank you, Jonathan! We loved it here so much and can’t wait to come back. This is definitely one of our all-time favorite spots in the US! Lauren + Daniel
The vast majority of KOAs are locally owned and operated small businesses. We're just here to help as much as we can! Thanks for choosing KOA and we hop to see you again soon!
@kampgrounds of America Inc - Thank you so much for leaving a comment! We've become huge fans of KOAs, and as full-timers tackling all 50-states we stay at them regularly. Maybe we should collaborate? If you're interested, reach out to us at hello@wanderlocal.com. 🙌
Thanks, Andy! Hope you're having a wonderful week. This was another fun one to shoot. Especially, the craziness with the white water rafting adventure. L+D
Hi, Shion and Matthew! We hope you both are having a lovely week. Aren't sticker maps fun? The more you add, the more quickly you want to finish the entire map. We've run across a few people that have all 50-states filled. #RVGoals
You two are so amazing. I’m always entertained watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing. This KOA is simply amazing. This one looks so unique.
🥰Smalls RV Adventures- Thank you, thank you! 🙏 We absolutely loved this KOA. While there, we had a chance to talk at great lengths with the family that runs the place. Such great people. That’s always an added bonus! L+D
Hi, Fletcher! Isn't this place wonderful?! We especially loved the super wide spaces. Also, the pizza they were making on site was pretty darn good too. This area of the country is always so beautiful, and we can't wait to come back soon. L+D
We just spent last weekend at the Charlottesville koa. It was ok. Had a bad storm and damaged our camper. Had to leave early. Next one we want to go to is Luray. We live in VA and are still new to this. In September, hopefully we can get time to go. Just watching hurricane weather. Not for there for where we live on the coast.
Glad to know that KOAs can still be local. That is something we have to remember, it might be a National name, but it could be locally owned and operated. Thank you for sharing and have a great day!
Hi, Augie! This was an important video for us to shoot. We were so wrong about they all being corporate and had to admit it open and honestly so people didn't make the same mistake as us. There are lots of locally owned KOA's around the country. We're excited to visit more of them along the way. L+D
Cesar!!! How are you friend?! We are doing well this week. We're visiting family, then headed back on the road very soon again to shoot even more videos. We hope you are doing well and staying safe this week. Lauren + Daniel
Okay, watched from the beginning… wow! The whole raft of folks fell out and flipped over! Never seen that. Another KOA that I loved was Bismarck North Dakota. Nice wide sites with privacy on both sides. We then went over to Casper which was a gravel lot that was not level. Sorta like best to not so good. Nice ending shot guys! 👍
Thanks, Bill! The video didn’t do these rapids justice. It was a hella wild ride. We lost 12 people in the rapids that day (one was bleeding from his nose) and the others were scrambling to make it to shore after being trapped under the raft. It was a crazy day for sure! The guides all agreed that it was one of the craziest rides they had all season. I know one or two of them will end up popping on here in a comment. They were looking forward to this episode!!! Also, we’ll have to add Bismarck to our list! ND is one of the states we have yet to visit. 🙌 Daniel
Oh, gosh. That’s a hard question. It was definitely the white water rafting. The rapids were challenging, but knowing we were able to keep the boat top side was a huge win. We passed several boats that flipped along the way. Luckily, everyone was ok, but it added a lot more adventure than we were ready for that day! L+D
Franchised isn’t the same as locally-owned. They still send gobs and buckets of money to KOA each year just like McDonalds or Taco Bell. Your video is great and I can tell you had good fun.
At least you weren't sent flying off the raft! Love white water rafting.KOA's come in 3 levels:least expensive- some former private RVparks. Mid-level much better parks. High end parks. I've stayed at 1 and toured 2 others. Stay safe.
Kurt, we were fortunate to be on a raft with a good team of people and came out of that situation without flipping. Whew. Thanks for the KOA insights. If you run into any that you think are absolutely incredible, be sure to let us know. There's a few listed here in the comments now that we're going to have to check out next. This is all good info! We hope you're having a wonderful week. L+D
Oh, John, this spot is absolutely lovely! The sunsets here were stunning. We’ll definitely be coming back to this place soon. There’s so much to do locally that we just couldn’t fit it into this one trip. L+D
Hi, Sukie! Great question. We travel with the bed and table in the upright position. No one ever told us to lower them while in transit. Luckily, we've travelled 25k miles with no issues. L+D
Hi, James! How are you doing this week? We were so glad to make this video and tell the world that we were wrong about them all being corporate. Now that we know that, we're going to be more like you and look for some KOA's along our journeys to stay at! L+D
Hi, Evo! We haven't been to the KOA in Davie, but we'll take your word for it. We're definitely not drinking the KOA kool-aid. Some are absolutely fantastic, but, like you said, some are...not so great! 🤣L+D
@@Wanderlocal that’s where I saw you guys! I kept wanting to go say hi but either you were not home or I was working 🥲 this was a while ago, when you had your old Airstream. I think you said you were gonna go pick up your new one after.
Ahh, that’s right!! We 💯 remember seeing your camper at that campground. We were down that way for a business meeting, so didn’t spent too much time at the camper that trip. The next time we’re out your way, we’ll have to grab lunch! 🙌
James, the water was a little cold! 🥶That being said, because of all of the craziness with the crashed rafts and rescue mission we had plenty of adrenaline to keep us warm! Like you said, we'll have to come back in the spring again. L+D
🤣 David, great question! We’re planning on renting a Class B (#vanlife) for that trip…OR maybe Airstream will ship one over for us to use! That would be amazing!!! 🤔 L+D
I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit to our community!
Thank you, Jonathan! We loved it here so much and can’t wait to come back. This is definitely one of our all-time favorite spots in the US! Lauren + Daniel

You guys are a blast to watch. Fun, adventure. Thank you 🙏

You guy’s are the best. We really enjoy your video’s! Good night, going to bed now.
Hi, Rob! Night, night. Thanks for checking out this video. This was a fun one. 😃L+D
Awesome. Sounds like so much fun… thank you for sharing
Hi, David! Thank you for watching. 🙏 We always appreciate it. Lauren + Daniel
We have been to a few KOAs and the Philadelphia/West Chester KOA is really beautiful. The road to get there is twisty windy but worth it!
Thanks for another awesome video! It’s a nice escape from a long weekend to watch you guys. Can’t wait for you next video! Safe travels!
Hello, sir! Thank you so much. 🥰We hope you and the family are doing well this week. Lauren + Daniel
This looks like a pretty good KOA! Congratulations on visiting 20 states! We have a sticker map too! ~ Shion and Matthew

We stayed there in July (on our maiden airstream voyage). We loved it. Our son lives in Denver and came up to visit.

I love KOA it is the only place we stay -always dependable, reliable and each one is very friendly helpful-their app is awesome-🎉🚌🇺🇸
We're so excited to share this fun video with y'all of our adventures in Central City, Colorado! ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing. Safe travels you two.
Thank you so much for watching! L+D
If you get to Virginia the Luray KOA is stunning!
Hi, Jessica! We just added this to our travel spreadsheet and will DEFINITELY check it out. Thank you so much for the recommendation. 🙏 L+D

KOA West Glacier is terrific if you get to that area! Definitely recommend
Hi, Candace! Thanks so much for the recommendation. 🙏 We haven’t been to Montana yet and will definitely add this spot to our list. Lauren + Daniel
Hola chicos I hope doing well your super nice thank you for travel with you G bless you

Wow looks like you guys had a really fun day! What was your favorite part from the day?
Oh, gosh. That’s a hard question. It was definitely the white water rafting. The rapids were challenging, but knowing we were able to keep the boat top side was a huge win.

Really looks like a great spot!
Oh, John, this spot is absolutely lovely! The sunsets here were stunning. We’ll definitely be coming back to this place soon. There’s so much to do locally that we just couldn’t fit it into this one trip. L+D
@@Wanderlocal hey guys, I think you typed my name wrong……..John, not Jill 😂
Crap, sorry about that John! Dang auto-correct gets us every time!!!! 🤦🏻♂️
Do you travel with the dinette table lowered as well as the bed? We were told to travel with both in the flattest position.
Hi, Sukie! Great question. We travel with the bed and table in the upright position. No one ever told us to lower them while in transit. Luckily, we've travelled 25k miles with no issues. L+D
We were told to travel with the table down so I just took upon myself to lower the bed too.
Sukie, it may be that we have a different table top too. Ours is on an electric hydraulic lift, so maybe that’s the difference? Not too sure. Hmm…
Ours is like that too. I was just curious. Thank you so much Lauren.
You’re welcome!!
when I go camping I look for KOA camp grounds
Hi, James! How are you doing this week? We were so glad to make this video and tell the world that we were wrong about them all being corporate. Now that we know that, we're going to be more like you and look for some KOA's along our journeys to stay at! L+D
This KOA looks awesome! The Davie KOA in Florida is probs the worst one 🤭😂😅
Hi, Evo! We haven't been to the KOA in Davie, but we'll take your word for it. We're definitely not drinking the KOA kool-aid. Some are absolutely fantastic, but, like you said, some are...not so great! 🤣L+D

Need to raft the Arkansas just west of canon city.
Oh, very cool! We'll have to add this to our list when we come back to Arkansas. Thanks for the recommendation. L+D
Where did you get your sticker map?
Pamela, we got it on Amazon. You can find it on our Amazon store at Amazon.com/shop/Wanderlocal ❤️
how was the water on the raft trip you should try it in the spring
James, the water was a little cold! 🥶That being said, because of all of the craziness with the crashed rafts and rescue mission we had plenty of adrenaline to keep us warm! Like you said, we'll have to come back in the spring again. L+D
hey central city!
Hey, Vitalupa! 🙌
Question; how y'all gonna get that airstream to Hawaii???🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣 David, great question! We’re planning on renting a Class B (#vanlife) for that trip…OR maybe Airstream will ship one over for us to use! That would be amazing!!! 🤔 L+D
