Before you book
Plan your stay
Everything that decides whether the KOA fits your rig, your dates and your budget, in one place.
Our take: a classic, full-amenity KOA in the hills five minutes from the 76 Strip: pool and slide for the kids, patio sites for the grown-ups and pull-thrus for big rigs. It’s busy in summer and prices aren’t published, so check the booking page for your dates.
