It's time for , campers!

Combine prehistoric finds with all the benefits of modern camping at this week's KOA. Strategically located near Route 191, this campground is the perfect pit stop for Western road trippers.

The campground's variety of RV sites accommodates everyone, from the van lifers to the motorhome enthusiasts. Choose from pull-thru, back-in, or KOA Patio sites and spend less time setting up and more time relaxing. No RV? No problem. Stay in a ultra-comfy Deluxe Cabin or a classic tent site.

The area is known for its abundance of dino finds. Under 20 miles away is Dinosaur National Monument, where you can see over 1,500 fossils on exposed cliff face. Other state parks in the area provide boating and fishing with views of dinosaur tracks along the way. After you've channeled your inner paleontologist, camp is a welcome respite. Challenge your fellow campers to a game of horseshoes or giant jenga, cool off in the pool, or take in a movie under the stars.

The question is - what KOA are we talking about? Comment your best guess below! The answer will be revealed in tomorrow's comments.

It's time for , campers!

Perched atop towering bluffs overlooking a Great Lake, it's hard to find a campground with better views than this week's KOA. A tranquil country retreat nestled in the Empire State, this is the laid-back camping getaway you've been looking for.

Bring the RV and enjoying a waterfront view at the back-in sites or get cozy at one of the shaded tent sites. With one cabin onsite, it's easy to see why it's always in demand - this meticulously updated 1940s cabin is quaint and comfy all in one. Join your fellow campers around the community firepit, challenge your camp mates to a game of co****le, or simply enjoy the stunning sunsets over the lake.

Let the campground's knowledgable staff give you the inside scoop on local delights, from the best farm stands, apple and w**e trails, and fishing spots the area has to offer. Camp is located just a mile from the area's historic lighthouse and beach park. And the local town is a charming waterfront village that's so small, it doesn't even have a traffic light!
