WirelessTrips.com Campground Review: Fredericksburg / Washington DC South KOA - Fredericksburg, Virginia

Thursday, August 5th, 2004 @ 10:11 am | campground reviews, midwest/texas tour (summer 2004), virginia

Wi-Fi � yes, but very poor service
Cell Phone coverage � no

When we arrived here, we were impressed by the vast canopy of trees. We really were deep in the woods here�so deep that we didn�t have any cell coverage. Luckily, they had wi-fi, but it was very poor. We asked them to put us close to the main building, but they said the spots were all reserved for the weekend (we were there for three nights). Why they couldn�t just switch us with someone else, I don�t know.

Richard had to rig up his antenna to try to get a better connection, but we had continuous outages during the entire stay and the connection was very slow. Quite disappointing and almost more trouble than it was worth.

There�d been a fire here in one of their buildings, but they had everything available in other buildings (bathroom and game room). There was a small pool and a pond. Frank made a friend but Ali wanted to stay close to the RV during this stop.

My main complaint, other than the poor wi-fi service, was the rocks they use for gravel at the campsites here. You can�t step outside your door barefoot without getting a stone bruise. I don�t know who decided to use sharp, jagged, pointed rocks as gravel, but it wasn�t a good idea. I had to put my shoes on just to get a soda out of the cooler or to do anything at all. That was a pain. It shouldn�t hurt to walk barefoot at your campsite.

We probably won�t ever return to this place, so we�ll give it two out of five marshmallows.
