Thunder Bay KOA advertised
that they have cable sites, and they did, however only 36 sites out
of their 155 sites actually had cable on this date. The site that the
two RV Gypsies were on did NOT have cable, and they only got 3 channels
on their TV, plus one French station. The Wi-Fi would not connect at
the site of the two RV Gypsies, so they had to go to the office to use
the internet.
 Some trains blowing their horns could be heard during the night. Karen Duquette hates that.
This KOA won the 2011 Campground of the Year award. (Karen Duquette
hates spelling campground with a K - because in her opinion when businesses
spell their names wrong, it contributes to children not knowing how
to spell correctly - at least in Karen's opinion.)
Anyway, this KOA was nicely decorated and kept, but the two RV Gypsies
will not give it any awards (because the most important thing to the
two RV Gypsies are: full hook-ups with 50 amp service, cable TV with
lots of channels, secured Wi-Fi at the sites, roads in the campground
must be easy for big rigs to maneuver and be wide enough for two RVs
to pass each other (which is seldom the case), and trees trimmed so
they don't scratch the RV as it drives in and out of the park. The two
RV Gypsies do not use campground pools, laundromats, playgrounds, campground
showers or restrooms, game rooms etc. - although most people probably
do use those things. (The two RV Gypsies are not "camping",
they just park their RV (their only home) and then they hop in their
toad to tour the area and are gone most of the day, every day, just
like most people on vacation).
KOA's are probably not judged on the same criteria the two RV Gypsies judge campgrounds on, because the two RV Gypsies are not the typical camper who spends time in the campground. Oh well- this is just the opinion of the two RV Gypsies. None of these statements are intended to make the campground good or bad in general, they are only the comments of the experience of the two RV Gypsies on a certain date. Mostly campground notes are written on this website so the two RV Gypsies can determine if they want to stay at any one campground the next time they are in the area. |
