Redman Central Oregon KOA in Culver, OR

We are on our way to Crater Lake National Park, which is a 360 mile drive from Pendleton. We decided to stay at this KOA since it was right on our route and just a few miles away from Smith Rock State Park. Like many RVers, we watched a lot of Youtube videos at first…

Pendleton KOA

Driving into cities and towns in our RV is a bit easier in the western part of the US. Traffic tends to be lighter, street parking spaces are often longer, and parking lots are usually surface lots (parking garages are hostile to vehicles over 8 feet high). In addition, there may even be RV-designated parking…

Eagle Creek Campground, Cascade Locks, OR

This campground, a few miles west of Cascade Locks and run by the US Forest Service, opened in 1916. It was originally intended for car camping so the sites are small and there are no services except for water, trash dumpster and a vault toilet. (Warning: Never take anything into a vault toilet that can…

As you can see from the feature image above the title, the campsite is immediately adjacent to Interstate 90. Road noise from the highway is noticeable.…

Missoula KOA

The Missoula KOA is a terrific campground within easy walking distance to shopping and services (REI, Great Clips, etc.). On a scale of one-to-10, with 10 being the highest, we gave this KOA a 9.5. Sites are full-service and pull-through with a gravel pad and are long enough to accommodate large rigs. The staff are…

Billings KOA Holiday in Billings, MT

We had just spent seven days in locations (Eastend, Antelope Creek and the Harvest Host Beargulch Pictographs) without access to laundry facilities which is why we chose to stay at the Billings KOA for three nights. We needed clean clothes. When we arrived at the KOA, we knew this campground was special. It had all…

Town of Eastend Campground

Eastend provides a good sized campground for visitors. As you can see from the map below it is located adjacent to the municipal baseball fields and a golf course. We selected a water – electric site number 5 because it looked like it would have a nice view of the Frenchman River. It did not.…
