"The events and
activities are winding down at Meadville KOA (Kampgrounds of America) by the
time the month of October arrives," according to campground owner,
Tim Chilson, “but there is still great camping weekends remaining this camping
season and some of them include big savings!"
"We're nearing
the end of the season and October 10-12th is our last event weekend
of the camping season," Chilson said, "but we've discounted the
camping prices, which makes it even more affordable for people to get out and
enjoy the wonderful fall festivals like the Franklin Applefest on Oct. 4
Weekend, and the the Pioneer Steam Show in Saegertown and Conneaut Lake Area Pumpkinfest
on Oct. 11. If you’re into haunted
attractions, they run now through the end of October. Not only can you enjoy those wonderful autumn
festivals, haunted attractions, and the fall foliage, but the cool evenings
provide wonderful opportunities to enjoy an autumn evening campfire and some
warmed apple cider and s'mores! And, we
offer some great savings! If you invite
another family to come with you, we have buy one night get one night free as a
thank you for introducing Meadville KOA to a new family. Or, you can get a great discount just by
calling and reserving a site! Our prices
with the discount are below State park’s rates and you get free Wi-Fi, Cable
TV, and catch and release fishing, not to mention our events and activities!"
Chilson went on to add, “There are also autumn driving tours in the area that
maximize your fall foliage viewing as well.
They are provided on the Crawford County Visitor’s Bureau website.”
Many RVers, according
to Chilson, use October as a perfect time to travel and enjoy the foliage.
"With gas prices lowered, fall festivals, and fall foliage at its’ prime, it's
a perfect time to get outside, enjoy the beautiful autumn weather remaining,
and do some camping," Chilson added.
“October is also a
great month to visit campgrounds if you’re looking for a seasonal camping site,”
according to Chilson. “Campers can look
at the availability and pick a site for the following season. And because our sites include free onsite
winter storage, they can leave the RV in onsite storage here for the winter,
come open up in the spring, and start camping!
They save money by not having to pay for storage, and the convenience is
great, and it allows our seasonal campers to maximize the use of their RV for
the whole 2015 summer season!”
Meadville KOA is located
on Route 27 and hosts 160 camp sites, 4 camping cabins (which includes two,
lake-front deluxe lodges), seven fishing ponds for catch and release fishing
(no license required), a swimming pool, a creek for wading, a hiking trail,
volleyball, basketball, soccer & ball field, horseshoe pits, themed weekend
events with planned activities, and much more!
