I had planned to stay at the KOA near Sequoia as we had been there before.  But I didn't anticipate that we were going to be arriving on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, and waited too long to make my reservation and the KOA was full.

I started searchingi for something else close to Sequoia and found Lemon Cove.  They were charging $117 for Sunday and $107 for Monday. 

I could not find anything else available and read the good reviews, so I went ahead and made the reservation.

I have NEVER paid that much for an RV spot, and was not happy about it.  I thought it must be a really spectacular park.  It was not!

We were traveling from Bakersfield which is only about an hour and a half away.  Lemon Cove has a 3PM check in time.  I have never been to a park that has a 3PM check in time.  This is not a hotel.  The office was closed from 1-2, so we waited for it to open.

When they opened it up, she said that she was not going to charge us the $25 early check in fee.  Which I thought was absurd to begin with.  She said she was feeling generous.

The spot we had was very uneven & the sewer is pretty much on an uphill slant from the trailer, which was an issue for dumping. 

Being Memorial Day weekend the park was full.  There was a huge group there (which don't get me wrong I have no issue with families camping together and having fun) and it was very noisy and crowded.

I would not have felt bad about paying for this ridiculously overpriced park if it had been a really nice resort type park.  But it most definitely is NOT.

This was just price gouging at its best.
