Daytona Beach KOA

Hi all, nothing to do with the 6.7 motor here but few people read the other towing forums here.

The daytona beach KOA on Nova rd, Port Orange, is pretty nice and only $25/night in the summer. I will be staying there for the next 7 days!

The summer rate at this KOA is a great deal if any of you want a last beach trip before school starts.

Get the KOA discount on top of that?
Great price. Here in New Jersey shore area CG's are $60+ a night. And for the most part they are cramped.

When I go to a KOA in Davenport, Florida for the winter I pay $575 per month and if I pay up front I get an extra 5% back when I leave. That works out to be $18.21 per day. Granted it is just off I4 just south on Orlando, but it works for me......

Wow...

$60+/night just to park your camper? At that point I'd prefer a hotel! When I was growing up we used to have a camper, and I always loved it. Unfortunately with fuel as expensive as it is, it's just too expensive for me to get into. Maybe someday when I grow that money tree.

But probably not for awhile. After 8 years of indecision I may be going back to school in a year or two.

That's one of the reasons I prefer to leave Jersey for camping.

We do the camp thing because it works out well for us with 2 Golden Retrievers and a cat. And up until last fall we also traveled with a Blue & Gold Macaw, who just loved the whole camping scene.

I have not powered up the computer in 5 days!!!!

I will post pics tonight/tomorrow.

It's nice, I've been to this one several times and it's only 400 miles from the house.

I also LOVE the fact I can load up the kids and all the beach crap and drive to our preferred spot. The locking diff and 4H work great in the sand out here, traction control helps but I like to test my feel so I turn it off now and then.

Also, my new tires (Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 2, 275/65/20) are doing a super job.
