Where We Are Now

We landed this afternoon at Ely KOA Journey, pretty much right in the middle of Nevada, elevation, 6500 ft. This is just a stop-over for a night, but it really is a nice campground. We plan to drive around this after and check out the town.

Where to Next

From here we're heading north to Idaho. Our first stop is a place called Anderson Camp. We plan to spend a couple of days there so we can check out Shoshone Falls and what's left of Twin Falls

Huntington/Fox Fire KOA

Our Visit

    We don't usually stop at KOA campgrounds, but this was the only campground in West Virginia along our route that worked without going too far out of our way.  The campground has long pull-through sites but they were very close together.

Huntington Fox Fire KOA on the map green burned

If everyone would have parked their cars or trucks in line with their RV then it would have worked.  For some reason, they didn't.  After speaking with the camp host the prior night about two trucks that would need to be moved for me to pull forward to get out, both were still parked the next morning so we had to figure something else out.  I still had the dinghy attached and didn't want to disconnect to back out.  The large 5th-wheel a site over from me was also blocked by the same two trucks and frankly, our front in.  If I backed up some, then he could fit. (I was still on my jacks)  The folks on the other side of him parked their truck behind him half in his spot so he couldn't back out.  So I quickly got things stowed away, he backed up as far as he could so that I could pull forward in front of him and head out the wrong way up the street.  That worked, I hope that he got out as well.  

     Other than the tight sites, the campground was quite nice.  It had a sandy beach on one of the three ponds with large floating toys for kids to play on.  It had a few nice rental cabins along one of the ponds.  The tent sites were set up really nice and you could even rent sites that featured patios complete with furniture and a nice fire pit.  Overall the campground was pretty decent, better than other KOA's that we have visited.  It's a great one or two-night stop-over right off the freeway.  We would return if our travels bring us that way again.

General Information for our Campground

Huntington / Fox Fire KOA Holiday campground is open all year!  While we do close for special holidays, we are open all other days.  Our operating hours do change from season to season.  We are always open from 9 am until 6 pm during the winter, but stay open until 9 pm during the summer months. 

Check-in time is after 2 pm and check-out time is 11 am.  Our cabin registration times vary slightly to check-in after 3 pm and check out time of 11 am. 

We always encourage a campfire while staying at our park, it's just part of camping. We are restricted by the Department of Environmental Protection and the Forestry Department from the transportation of firewood across state lines, so we do ask that you not bring your own firewood from other states.  Firewood is for sale at the camp store for $5 per bundle.  There are a couple of retailers in town that sell firewood, but you have to go get it. 

Visitors of our camping guests are always welcome, however, there is a $7.50 charge for all visitors who utilize the campground facilities.  Visitors must check into the campground office and obtain a parking pass and determine where the appropriate parking is located.

Enjoyment of camping for all guests is required, please respect your neighbors by keeping any noise and volume to a minimum.   Official Quiet hours are enforced between 10 pm and 8 am.  Bicycle riding is prohibited after dark for everyone's safety!  Likewise, children must be on their respective campsite during quiet hours. 

We are proud to offer a very clean and refreshing swim lake with sandy beach.  While the beach and swim lake is a natural body of water, the fun comes with rules.  ALL swimmers, regardless of age or ability, must sign a waiver of liability.  Children must be signed in by a parent or guardian.  Once the waiver of liability is signed an armband is issued to each swimmer. Life jackets are provided in all sizes for any swimmer that goes past the shallow markers.  The large inflatable "toys" are located in the deep end of the lake and require life jackets to enjoy.  This year we will have the water trampoline again, the jungle-gym and the rocket for guest enjoyment.

Check-in, Check-out

We're excited to have you as our guest. Our check-in time is after 2 pm. Our check-out time is 11 am. This gives us a couple of hours to clean sites and pick up trash. Cabin check-in time is after 3 pm.

Ponderosa Falls RV Campground

Ponderosa Falls RV Campground, Cheney, Washington

     Ponderosa Falls is not a public campground, it is a KM resort which welcomes Coast to Coast members.

    We arrived at the campground around 9:30 am on a Saturday and had to wait until ten for the office to open.  The office assigns sites based on availability and size of rig.  They were very friendly and suggested a few sites that we either empty or going to be available by noon and welcomed us to go check them out before deciding.  We found a great site that was to be available that morning, so we opted to wait for them to pull out.  They did but without their trailer.  After a couple of hours of waiting, we picked another site, which turned out just fine. (without the grass) Most of the sites had full hookups and varied in size with plenty of both pull-throughs and back-in sites, along with a few cabins.

     The campground had a very nice lodge with some weekend meals.  It also had a very small indoor pool, a weight room, and laundry.  Outside there was a basketball and pickleball court, horseshoes, a kid’s play area, and one of the better miniature golf courses we’ve seen.  Each hole had three holes to choose from.  For little kids, there was a small paddle boat pond. 

     Just a few miles away was the Northern Quest Casino.  We checked it out and saw that it had headliners like Donny & Marie.  The gaming floor was nice as well. We also drove into Spokane to walk around.  The city has some neat history, but what I enjoyed most about the city, is that it’s the site of the 1974 World’s Fair.  I was there when I was twelve and some of the old pavilions are still standing.  Over the years the city has let the area go, but are currently rebuilding it.  I look forward to seeing it again when the construction is complete.  The Spokane River runs through the center of the city with several natural waterfalls.
