yeah the camping in AR sucked... and not getting a good nights rest then riding 900 miles was fuck'n torture.

plus all the shit strapped to my bike just unnerved me. I'd rather just have the bags... nothing on the outside...

the other nice thing with the hotels are most have laundry facilities... so that means less packing as you can wash shit. and I know I feel better when I get to shower daily

KOA's have laundry and showers... From what I saw, and understand about other KOA's, the facilites are always nice and clean. However, there's something to be said about unloading your bike and hitting a bed rather than unloading your bike, setting up your tent, and sleeping on the ground.

that and change'n in a tent when it rains sucks. as with packing up or setting up in the rain.

and KOA's aren't everywhere... but yeah... every KOA i've been at has been nice.

KOA does have lodges at some locations...

but I did have trouble when looking at camp grounds... was they didn't alow motorcycles because of the exhaust being too loud...
