Happy , campers! This week’s campground takes us to a spot in the Sunshine State, where flip-flops are basically required footwear and every day ends with a beautiful sunset.

This KOA has all the comforts you want for a camping getaway, from a 24/7 laundry facility to hot showers to Wi-Fi. When it comes to recreation, the real star of the show is this KOA's creek access. Bring your fishing gear to see what you can catch or rent a kayak and float down the creek all the way to the Gulf! Other great amenities include a pool and hot tub open 24 hours a day, plenty of games like horseshoe and shuffleboard and a KampK9 for your four-legged friends.

Outside of camp, you're perfectly positioned for beach days and Gulf Coast exploration. Spend your time taking in shoreline views, browsing local shops and restaurants, or planning a day out on the water - then come back to camp for an easy evening under the palms!

The question is - what KOA is this? Comment your best guess below!

Summer plays a trick on us every year. In May, the days look endless and your calendar looks full of possibilities. Then you blink. Labor Day is on the horizon, the kids are talking about back-to-school, and you're trying to remember where summer ...

Time for another , campers!

Tucked away on the outskirts of the second-largest city in Canada, this KOA is the perfect blend of urban convenience and rural seclusion. RVers love this campground for its 140 pull-thru RV sites nestled under large, mature trees. No need to argue about who should back in the motorhome! 😉 Want to explore the city without worrying about parking? The city’s well-connected Metro has a station just 15 minutes from the campground. Hop on and see everything the beautiful city of MTL has to offer! The campground also provides a meticulously maintained pool, mini golf, and pickleball court to relax and unwind at. Whether this KOA is a quick stopover stay or your final camping destination, you’ll love the friendly staff, abundance of campsites, and quiet setting this campground has to offer.

Think you know where this is? Comment your best guess below! We’ll reveal the answer in tomorrow’s comments – good luck!

Some amazing exploration happening at Jewel Cave National Monument! ⛰️ If you’re looking for inspiration for your Black Hills vacation, it’s only a 15-minute drive from us at Custer KOA, making it the perfect adventure for warm summer days when you can stay cool underground. 😎

As of 2026, 220.3 miles of passageway have been recorded in Jewel Cave- that's a lot of rooms! The honor of naming the rooms and passageways go to the caver who discovers them. Maybe you're already familiar with the Target Room or the Formation Room from your scenic tour, but there's a lot more cave to discover out there. Because of the volume of air moving in and out of the cave during air pressure changes on the surface, scientists estimate we may have only discovered roughly 4-5% of Jewel Cave! Recently, we asked park visitors to imagine what they might name a new room. Here are some of our favorites:

The Big Yahoo
Bag End
The Room for Improvement
Cavey McCaveface
Makin' Bacon

What would you name a newly discovered room or passageway?
