The Bristol / Kingsport KOA at 425 Rocky Branch Road in Blountville,
TN is an award winning campground. As soon as The RV Gypsies stopped
at the KOA office to register and Karen Duquette stepped out of her
RV, the first thing she noticed was a nice play area for children: a
sandbox full of toys, swings and a slide, a swinging bench for the parents,
horseshoes and a bean bag setup, plus a jumping pillow and more. Of
course, the two RV Gypsies have no reason to use any of those items.
As Karen Duquette approached the office, she bypassed the ladies and
mens restrooms and each of them had a delightful cowgirl / cowboy painting
on the outside. Going up the stairs to the office, Karen saw the large
swimming pool with a small slide, a soda machine, and of course, some
tables and chairs. (see photos below)
The pool closed at 8 p.m., on this date, which is Karen's only complaint,
even though it is a common time for pools in campgrounds to close and
she seldom, if ever, uses the pool at campgrounds.
There was a Rocky Branch Cafe at this KOA, with free delivery. The Two
RV Gypsies did order some food from there and it arrived quickly, and
was pretty good.
RV and car washing tickets were on sale at the office. There is a lot more that could be said about this particular KOA because it was nicer than most of the other KOA's the Two RV Gypsies have visited. |
