[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3673300, member: 7900"] You would be surprised at the number of KOA campgrounds that are run by mom and pop's. When we traveled in early April from Colorado to Oregon, we had booked a reservation at Rock Springs, WY. There was a snow storm approaching and we figured that we could make it to Rock Springs the first day and then on out of Wyoming the next. However, after fueling near Casper and getting onto I-80, my F450 had fuel filter issues and we went up over Sherman Hill at 30 mpg. (Sherman Hill is the highest point along all of I-80. Making it over the pass, we stopped in Laramie and did a self-checkin at the KOA there. Next morning, the wife called the Rock Springs KOA and they said that they would not bill us for the missed night. She even booked us for the next night, just in case we needed a space. The Ford dealer in Laramie really got on the ball and fixed the filters and a couple of other issues that next day by 1:00 pm. So, we hooked up and headed on out of Laramie with the intent to get out of Wyoming that day ahead of the storm. We went on to a KOA in Brigham City, UT and did another self-checkin. The wife again called the Rock Springs campground and told them what we had done and why and said that they could bill us for the missed reservation. The lady told us that there was no charges and that it was good we moved on. They had gotten about 5 inches of snow in less than 3 hours that night. [/QUOTE]
