We were so excited about camping after finishing our first trip, Dennis asked me to book a spot at a close campground so that we could learn more about the rv, camping, see how Blitz reacted and of course - just have fun!
We found a KOA that was about 20 mins from our house..I was a little hesitant bc the price was higher than the state parks, but we were all so excited about camping, I sucked it up and reserved a spot for the weekend.
First - it, again, rained ALL weekend. Ugh.
Second - I have never been to a campground which didn’t drain well from rain water. Literally, little ponds throughout the whole campground. There was so much mud - the dog kept tracking it in, the kids tracked it in, we tracked it in.
The fire pits were also flooded. We pulled in different than some of the other campers to avoid the extreme amounts of mud on the one side.
the rut left behind by a camper that had to be towed out
No one from the campground ever said to turn, they saw us use the fire pit before it flooded...well a couple from Canada pulled in around 5 the afternoon of our 2nd day. Dennis was using the pit and the lady got really shitty with him, telling him it was their picnic table and pit. He said, yours is in the other side. She kept bitching and after Dennis finished cooking, he told them to take the fire he had built.
They declined and went inside.
At 8:45 that night, we were all inside, the girls and I laying in our bed watching tv, Dennis in the front watching tv and there is a knock on the door. It was one of the workers, informing us we had to remove our tabletop grill from the picnic table and not use that fire ring bc it wasn’t to our site.
We had not used the pit for 2.5 hours at that point.
So, he moves the grill to the back of the van and comes in. As he’s moving it, the lady is standing at the door and says, it’s about time.
::eye roll:: literally no one was stopping them from using the table or pit for hours AND left a fire going for them.
Anyway, the next am at 8:30, we hear them pulling out. Grrr.
Since we were unable to spend Whits bday with her bc it was during the week - we had her over for a waffle sundae bar.

After breakfast, we took Whit and the kids home and decided Since the rain has finally stopped and the sun was coming out - we were going to camp one more night! BUT not at this KOA. So, we decided to try Maumee Bay!
Best decision ever!!!!
Can’t wait to share our Maumee Bay (MB) adventures with you!
