Placerville KOA

It’s a KOA, enough said. We came out from the Bay Area on a last minute long weekend (for us) and couldn’t find much anywhere plus wanted to avoid a super long drive for only a few days. I can understand some of the complaints about gravel/dirt but it’s not like it’s rained in awhile so things were fine. We needed to level the trailer ... more

There’s nothing special about this place, other than its location. It costs too much when there are other options. I feel robbed. You can get a few decent hotels for this price (or, less) “near” the area and many will let you park RV free. Hard pass, unless really just a night that’s directly off main highway. Would suggest boondocking... more

If you like the shuttle option you might like it here. But it is crowded (even for a KOA), large, and for $80/night, I would like a cement pad. Constant highway noise. I needed to stop for the night--what can I say. Would not stay here again, I would rather be in a Wal Mart parking lot. On the positive side, the staff was very fri... more

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. They don't allow wood fires but you can loan a fire pit from the office and burn DuraFlame logs. As for the heat we were able to handle it ... more

It's a KOA, so you are mostly jammed in with the rest of the RVs. They do have tent sites. That is what I was in. Wifi is bad. It is noisy so close to the freeway (Highway 50). You can get a discount for many different types of things you already have, but it still is pricey for what you are getting. Showers and facilities are cl... more

We stopped here for one night, as we were having dinner with friends in the area. It is your basic KOA. Enough said. It was off season, so we weren't crowded. We didn't do much other than park, visit our friends, come back, sleep, and leave. Cable TV worked well. Verizon was excellent. Didn't try OTA TV. The office staff wa... more

So, having been on the road since January, we had so far avoided KOAs. I had a preconceived notion that they were overpriced and usually can find a better option. 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
