Ever wanted to watch a rocket launch while you camp? 🚀

SpaceX launched Starship's 14th test flight and first attempt to go to orbit from Starbase Texas a few weeks ago, and it was a sight to behold from South Padre Island KOA Holiday. SPI offers a unique experience to campers where they can enjoy the coastal breeze, Texas beaches, and the occasional rocket lift off!

Happy , campers!

Hand dipped ice cream? Check. DJ dance parties? Check. Baby goats? Check. This week's KOA checks all the boxes - even ones you didn't know existed! Tucked into the beautiful Susquehanna River Valley, this is family camping at its finest in the heart of the Keystone State. There's always something going on at camp - from strawberry shortcake socials to themed weekends. A crowd favorite amenity is the campground's petting zoo, where you can help feed goats, donkeys, and more.
With its variety of campsites, you really can bring the whole crew to camp here.

From forested tent sites to RV sites with KOA Patios to Deluxe Cabins that sleep up to 8 people, there's room for every camper here. Plus, this campground is just over 3 hours from Philly, Pittsburgh, and NYC - so whether you make this a stopover spot or you're escaping into nature from the city, it's an easy day's drive.

The question is - what campground is this? Comment your best guess below! We'll reveal the answer in tomorrow's comments - good luck!

🍂🏕️ FAREWELL WEEKEND IS HERE… & we’re not crying, you’re crying. 🥹

Somehow another camping season has flown by. One minute we were opening the campground, the next we’re getting ready for our final karaoke songs, our last campfire stories, & one more weekend of fun together.

Before we wrap things up, we just want to say one thing:

THANK YOU! 🥰

Thank you for every campfire, every laugh, every game of bingo, every craft, every tie-dye shirt, every karaoke performance, every s’more, & every memory made here at Strafford KOA.

Thank you to the kids who filled our campground with energy, imagination, & endless questions like, “What activity is next?”

Thank you to the parents, grandparents, & families who joined the fun, cheered everyone on, & made this campground feel like a community instead of just a place to camp.

This weekend is all about celebrating a summer we’ll never forget. We’ll have one last touchdown in flag football, one last home run derby, one last scavenger hunt, one last karaoke party, & even a chance to write a note to your future camper self in our time capsule activity.

But you know of course we’ll gather one last time for a Karaoke & Potluck Farewell, sharing good food, good songs, campfire memories, & maybe a few “I can’t believe the season is over” moments.

TJ & Ella are ready to say goodbye the only way we know how:

With crafts, games, music, laughter, & a whole lot of fun.

Thank you for letting us be part of your summer. Thank you for your smiles, your support, & the memories we’ll carry long after the last campfire fades.

Because at Strafford KOA, this isn’t really goodbye. It’s see you next season. ❤️🏕️

Once a camper, always a camper. 🌲🔥
💜💜💜
