The Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers

finally got their RV out of repair and drove it from San Diego to Pomona, California on May 29, 2015. The traffic was extremely heavy and slow moving. It took twice as long as the GPS said it would. Although it was a highway, there was a lot of complete stopping and barely moving for most of the trip. Karen Duquette just snapped a few photos along the way to post, plus the photos and comments about Fairplex Los Angeles KOA below.

SPECIAL COMMENTS & PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS OF THE TWO RV GYPSIES

Fairplex Los Angeles KOA campground is a large campground with 182 pull-thru sites that are all full hook-ups, some 30 amp and some 50 amp, plus 2 handicap car parking spaces, with paved roads and paved sites with a dab of grass and a picnic table. It is probably the cleanest, best maintained KOA the two RV Gypsies have stayed at.

The campground Wi-Fi was coded and worked fast. There were eight TV channels including ABC, NBC,and CBS. The campground had video surveillance, property lighting, decent water pressure, coded restrooms, laundry, a mini-market, cabins, an unheated pool, and a small hot tub which closed at 10 p.m. (but it wasn't enforced).

The brochure mentioned a clubhouse, but the two RV Gypsies did not check it out. Big vehicles came and swept the streets and empty sites. Tree trimmers trimmed trees, even on the sites that were occupied. The two RV Gypsies did not appreciate that. Then the workers asked if they could get on the roof of the RV to clean the limbs and leaves off of it. Karen found this annoying.

There were no rules about vehicle washing, and the two RV Gypsies noticed a big rig being cleaned by a professional vehicle washing company, even though this part of California is in a drought situation with water restrictions.

No check-out time was stated on the brochure. All-in-all a lovely campground, but on the expensive side compared to other KOAs.
