KOA Kingston

We grew up staying at KOAs in our family’s 19’ Citation trailer.  Camping purists sneer at them but I don’t care – they’re clean, they’re accessible, they’re convenient, and often they’re quite lovely.  And as my sisters noted, they’re now much fancier than in the 70s!  I’ve stayed here before and would stay again.

(I’m sitting typing this at 8:30 in the morning – in my line of sight there is a row of five rigs (trailers & motorhomes) and almost simultaneously, five men stepped out (one from each unit), all dressed in what must be the older-man’s camping uniform (light coloured t-shirt & dark pants or shorts), and starting hooking up and unhooking things.  It’s like a little ritual.) *30 minutes later: almost like a choreographed dance, each one pulled out of their site, one-by-one, about 3 minutes apart – I hope to achieve that level of RV-zen some day.

And, now that I think of it, yesterday afternoon at around 5pm a large pick-up truck with a company logo of some sort on the side and a back-up beep-beep alert pulled into the little parking area across from us, and four guys in work clothes and hi-viz vests got out.  At first I assumed they worked here, but then I saw them walk off towards a trailer.  Didn’t give it much more thought until this morning, when I saw them pile into the truck (still work gear & hi-viz) and drive off the campground.  Do you suppose they are a work crew, and they live in a trailer & share park expenses while they’re on a job?  More to come . . .
