My first KoA

[Montalaskan]

I've never stayed at a KOA, but their headquarters is about a block from my house.

I was a hanger when I moved to Florida & found myself violating the law several times by hanging on trees. It is against the law in Florida State Parks and in National Parks to hang anything from a tree.

When I got to Florida I packed up my camping gear and set out to outline the state on my motorcycle. Checked into Everglades National Park one evening and immediately hung my hammock and kicked back to read the park literature. I soon read, "DO NOT HANG ANYTHING FROM THE TREES!" I quickly packed my hammock and set up a tent and climbed in for the night. Later a truck's headlights hit my tent, and I heard two park rangers talking. "I'm sure I saw a hammock somewhere around here" one of the rangers said. I stayed in my tent. "Let's go look further down the road" the other ranger said.

I've been stealth hammock camping since. Actually, it has been great fun hiding out in the woods out of sight from the authorities. It has added a sense of danger to my hammock hanging.

Around the Motor Home groups KOA is known as Keep ON Adding. Everything is extra. OTOH they charge enough to expect a clean and well run facility. I'm glad they could accommodate your needs.

Interesting enough, both Clinch and Talbot island to the south have rules about hanging. At first I thought it silly but I hung on a couple pine trees last night and saw a bit of a rub on the bark.

I haven't gathered the hutzpah to stealth camp just yet but will someday to say I did.

Thanks for the info on the slings!
