Placerville KOA

We spent 2 nights here in August. It did get toasty here during the daytime. The high temperature was around 95 and in the evening it went down to lower sixties, perfect temperature for a campfire.

We, however, didn't take into consideration the 4th of July weekend. Everywhere was packed, and we searched most of the day Saturday. So when we came across the Placervil... more
