Ever wanted to watch a rocket launch while you camp? 🚀

SpaceX launched Starship's 14th test flight and first attempt to go to orbit from Starbase Texas a few weeks ago, and it was a sight to behold from South Padre Island KOA Holiday. SPI offers a unique experience to campers where they can enjoy the coastal breeze, Texas beaches, and the occasional rocket lift off!

Happy , campers!

Hand dipped ice cream? Check. DJ dance parties? Check. Baby goats? Check. This week's KOA checks all the boxes - even ones you didn't know existed! Tucked into the beautiful Susquehanna River Valley, this is family camping at its finest in the heart of the Keystone State. There's always something going on at camp - from strawberry shortcake socials to themed weekends. A crowd favorite amenity is the campground's petting zoo, where you can help feed goats, donkeys, and more.
With its variety of campsites, you really can bring the whole crew to camp here.

From forested tent sites to RV sites with KOA Patios to Deluxe Cabins that sleep up to 8 people, there's room for every camper here. Plus, this campground is just over 3 hours from Philly, Pittsburgh, and NYC - so whether you make this a stopover spot or you're escaping into nature from the city, it's an easy day's drive.

The question is - what campground is this? Comment your best guess below! We'll reveal the answer in tomorrow's comments - good luck!
