Lodging in California

As a stay at home mom, I need to keep costs down, even when on vacation. Trying to find affordable lodging in California is tough. Spending the night at a KOA campground is very cost effective for my family of 4. Most have pools, game rooms, activities and much more for little or no extra charge. Best of all they seem to be everywhere.
