If you’ve always wanted to stay in a classic Airstream, now you can. KOA has partnered with Airstream to put the high-end trailers in Las Vegas, Nevada, Santa Cruz/Monterey Bay, California, Bar Harbor, Maine, and in Sugarloaf Key, Florida to allow travelers a “trial” luxury RV experience.

You had a great RV vacation this summer, and the photos are loaded onto your computer or CD. Now what? Not everyone has the time or inclination to make scrapbooks (and I say that from a personal point of view!), but there are other options out there that allow you to make an album of […]

With Labor Day upon us, I know I’m not the only one saying “where did the summer go?” Personally, a significant portion of my summer was spent making preparations for my daughter’s wedding, but regardless what YOUR reason was for letting the summer slip by, be assured it’s not too late to get out and […]
The groundbreaking occurred in May of 2008, with continuous construction since – not an easy thing since in winter the area is not only 30 below zero, but accessible only by snow machine. This 26,000 square foot building is more than a visitor center – it is an education center, complete with a 4,500 […]
