Ha, ha!  That is good.  I wish that KOA's were the worst, but I think the
honor
actually belongs to the National Park Service.  A couple of the
"campgrounds" in
Death Valley are truely terrible -- huge parking lots in the desert sun with
hundreds of land yachts in a close-packing experiment.  Even the beauty of
Yosemite is slammed with some remarkably ugly parking lots passed off as
campgrounds.
