Route 66 KOA – Springfield, Missouri

After driving through Oklahoma (and a number of toll roads – thank you family for a great supply of quarters), we settled into Missouri and on to Springfield.

Oklahoma – Welcome to the state of toll roads (one of the many)

Quarters, quarters, quarters – for those toll roads that are cash only!!

Welcome To Missouri

For an RV park this ranks up there at the top for the KOA’s we have stayed at. It is a lovely setting with tall trees on the west side of Springfield on old route 66.
