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!

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!

100 years ago today, important steps were taken toward creating Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

While the Smokies weren't officially established until 1934, it was on May 22, 1926, that President Calvin Coolidge signed the bill authorizing its creation.

Whether you come to the Smokies to hike the 848 miles of trails, drive the eight scenic auto tours, discover the 22,000+ documented species, or learn about the region’s rich cultural history, thank you for being part of the Smokies story. Your love for this place helps us protect Great Smoky Mountains National Park for the next 100 years and beyond.
