Tars Tarkas - Our goal is to also use National Park campgrounds but want to start with using some of the hook ups and get used to camping before going off grid (so my husband and I don't strangle each other on our 1st try LOL). We like the quiet too and love hiking and kayaking.

Thanks Leo B.  We are so new to this that I never even heard of a KOA campground!  That is why I'm glad I found this forum.  They sound like great places to stop on your way to a destination.  Is that what you use them for?

I completely agree with Furpod. My likes may not be your likes. We tend to prefer National Park campgrounds. No hookups generally, but they are usually a little less cramped and quieter. Two of our faves are Smokemont in the Smokies and Frisco on the Outer Banks. If I was going to be in one place for a month though, full hookups would be very nice.

Everyone has different needs and expectations. You will just need to try a few and see what you like.

We usually hit KOA's camping, we really like the standards they keep and the locations and staff. Our favorite is the KOA on Cape Hatteras where we spend our Octobers.
We will stay at Flying J truck stops and Pilots, on the way to our destinations. Seems to work well so far.

We will be picking up our 2016 R-Pod 180 next week and can't wait to go camping! It is a little overwhelming trying to navigate through all the websites and deciding where to go, what spot to pick, do we want water/electric/septic etc. but also if we should stay in a private or public campground.  Just wondering but R-Poders prefer and why?
