After our adventures throughout southern Utah's red rock/orange sand country (BTW Jim had had enough rocks); McTraveler made it's way north to Salt Lake City. What a nice change to see green, white, and blue. Real trees! Lush greenery and flowers everywhere, white snow capped mountains, and beautiful blue sky views of downtown SLC.

The SLC KOA is the closest RV park to downtown and right off North Temple Street where you will find a light rail system for your tourist adventures. It's also located on the western side of the city; which is where we wanted be to for an overnight. Tomorrow McTraveler will be going westbound on I-80 towards Elko, NV then onto Reno, NV to see friends. Note: To and from the interstate there will be some city street driving.
The location is not your typical campground in the woods (let's go hiking and fishing) but a really beautiful urban campground for taking in the sights of a big city; or an overnight that's convenient to get back on the interstate. We thought they did a really good job with the grounds to make it a natural setting as possible. Again, we had been green (forest) deprived the last several weeks.

The staff was very courteous, professional, and helpful with giving us tips of things to do while you're here. It was nice to feel welcomed. They appreciated our business and wanted us to have a good experience in their campground. After weeks of spotty phone and internet service and no cable TV, we were all over the electronics here.

We enjoyed our overnight stay and would stay again if in the area. Our overall rating for the Salt Lake City KOA is a solid B+. We hope you found our review helpful. If you've stayed here, we'd love to hear your view. We welcome all comments.
Now, we thank you for visiting our virtual campsite and hope you liked the s'mores. We eagerly anticipate that you'll be back soon to read more of McTravelers RV Adventures.
Until then, wishing you safe travels,
Pam, Jim, Maxx and Mollie
