Kingman KOA Journey

This was at least a better choice than the terrible 2 RV parks we looked at BEFORE coming here. Kingman has pretty slim choices.
Everything at this KOA is old school , like it's been here since the 1960's, with no upgrades...The pool area was sad with old broken pots and planters with dead plants and weeds.
The one GOOD thing it had going for it is mature Oleander bushes between sites for privacy. It's strangely located in a residential area, but quiet at night thank goodness. Half the park are long termers but everyone seemed nice. I'd stay here again only if we had to.

An established park, nothing fancy. Level dirt sites that are dusty and turn to a soupy mess if it rains or snows. Luckily, it probably doesn’t rain or snow too often. Watch the route to the campground, there are some tight turns into residential areas, come in from the north on Gordon road. Sites are close, but most people are overnight stays.

We would stay here again. We had been boondocking for several days and was in desperate need of electric to charge electronics. The laundry room was nice, plenty of working machines and it was affordable.
the only downside was that the electric post was at the front of the site, glad we had an extension. The traffic noise was a bit heavier between 5-9, but didn't bother us. We boosted our Verizon MiFi to get 3 bars, enough for me to finish my workday.

The park was easy to find. It is located on the outskirts of town not far from I 40. There is pavement all the way to the park. Interior roads are paved as well. Signage is adequate. Check in was efficient and friendly. The rules are fairly basic. We were escorted to our site.

Our site,83, was a pull through that was just long enough for our Coach and Towed. Services (30 amp, water and sewer) were to the left side. Distancing is very close but typical for an urban park but our site was extremely narrow. We could not use the full length of the picnic table. Most was squeezed between shrubs so we could walk by it. Most sites had a vegetation barrier. Each site has a table but NO fire pit. Our site was flat and even. Overall the park was pretty well manicured.

The included wifi internet worked reasonably well with a log in password. We did find a few OTA channels and the included cable worked fine. TV. Satellite might be difficult because of the trees if you don’t have a portable dish. We did not use the washrooms or showers but we checked and found them clean. The pool was closed for an unknown reason. The Hot Tub was available though.
There is a pathway that runs along the property and is popular for walking dogs.

There are no restaurants or services with in walking distance but a short drive will get you to a Walmart Super Center., Smiths Groceries, Safeway and almost anything else you may want. If you happen to be there on a Friday, I must recommend Hooch’s for their “All you can eat” Fish. The place looks pretty rough but the food and service was excellent! We found this park to be a well run urban RV park. We paid $50.00 per night and we feel we received fair value. We will be back if in the area again.

Our neighbors picnic table was literally 6” from the side of our coach & more or less had to be due to the narrow configuration. The row we were in did not have people parked with doors facing each other like mentioned in a previous review. This KOA shares a patch of ground with full-timers & is in an old housing area with nothing nearby.

Over $50 for 30-amp dirt site with neighbor on top of us isn’t something we’d gravitate to again. Best thing is it’s not near any train tracks as so many parks are along these I-40 towns.

Cable TV worked good & about 40 channels. Pool closed for winter but hot tub was in use.

Clean facility & friendly staff. Gave us a sheets with rules recommending to wear face mask while in store ( which we did) but the store staff did not wear mask!
The grounds are kept clean, nice pool and rec room. FYI they only clean the showers once a day in the morning so you’ll need to wipe down the shower before using.
No shade under picnic table for smaller trailers or RV’s, the big rigs got all the shady spaces.
