American History for Beginners with the Capitol KOA, Part 1

American History for Beginners with the Capitol KOA, Part 1

Since the boys started Kindergarten in September, they have developed a rather intense curiosity about the Presidents. After attending Back to School night, we were fairly sure this developing interest had something to do with the presidential posters we saw hanging in their classroom. From what we can gather, their teacher frequently discusses the presidents’ admirable character traits. So we find ourselves constantly bombarded with questions of great historical import, such as: Are the Presidents all friends? Do all the Presidents... Read More

Happy Halloween, From the Philadelphia/ West Chester KOA

Happy Halloween, From the Philadelphia/ West Chester KOA

Our friends often ask us if we really think weekend RV trips are worth the work. We tell them that getting on the road on a Friday afternoon may require some extra effort, but it is worth it every time.  Why?  Because of magical weekends like the one we just spent at the Philadelphia/West Chester KOA.  Weekends that are filled with action and adventure and relaxation.  Weekends that bring our family closer together, and leave us dreaming about our next trip. Over the last four years, the Philadelphia/West Chester KOA has become one of our... Read More

Campground Review: Bar Harbor/Oceanside KOA

Campground Review: Bar Harbor/Oceanside KOA

We were having such a great time in Belfast that we didn’t want to leave.  But when you are heading to Acadia National Park for six days of hiking, swimming, kayaking, and lobster roll eating–you dig deep and find a way to carry on.  Lucky for us, we had reservations at the Bar Harbor/Oceanside KOA, one of our favorite campgrounds that we had visited three years back in the pop up camper days, before the birth of Wesley. The fun started right away.  As we were setting up shop, the KOA Express stopped by and picked the boys up... Read More

Campground Review: Twin Mountain KOA, New Hampshire

Campground Review: Twin Mountain KOA, New Hampshire

After spending six nights at the Woodstock/Lincoln KOA in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and thoroughly exploring Franconia Notch, we were just not ready to leave the Granite State.  For every family friendly activity or outdoor adventure that we completed, we heard of three more that we wanted to try. So we did what we have done so often before.  We pulled out the KOA Catalog and looked for a suitable place to spontaneously extend our family vacation.  The Twin Mountain KOA seemed to fit the bill perfectly.  It was less than an hour...

Campground Review: Lincoln/Woodstock KOA (White Mountains, NH)

Campground Review: Lincoln/Woodstock KOA (White Mountains, NH)

Are you looking for the perfect base camp for your next White Mountains adventure?  If so, then look no further than the Lincoln/Woodstock KOA.  We recently spent six nights at this campground and were incredibly impressed by its facilities and activities, and its layout and location.  In short, we pretty much loved every inch of this near-perfect KOA.  Here are some of the highlights: I found myself wandering into the camp store every morning to either browse the shelves, restock our supplies, or pick up maps and information for our...

Celebrating Mom and Supporting KOA’s Care Camps

Celebrating Mom and Supporting KOA’s Care Camps

This article originally appeared in the Jayco Journal. When you own an RV, planning your next family adventure is always part of the fun.  But should you go somewhere new or return to a place that you love? Our family has camped in eight different states, and we hope to travel to all fifty.  So whenever we hit the road with our White Hawk, we usually prefer exploring new destinations. However, there are certain campgrounds that call us back again and again.  The Philadelphia/West Chester KOA is one of those special places.  It is the home of... Read More
