How KOA Makes Trip Planning Easy | The KOA Family of Campgrounds

February 9, 2021

When the idea of camping pops into your head, chances are good you imagine the same experience nearly every time.

If you’re a tent camper, that means hunting down a good spot to pitch your tent, setting it up, and hoping the weather stays on your side.

If you’re an RV camper, that means finding somewhere that can accommodate your massive vehicle, and that hopefully has hookups and other things you’ll need while camping.

For over 50 years, KOA has served tent campers and RV campers alike, providing them all they need to make their camping experience as relaxing and fun as possible. With over 500 campgrounds to choose from across both the United States and Canada, KOA’s yellow logo has come to be the universal sign of camping.

However, while we are guessing you’ve stayed in a few KOA campgrounds, we are also guessing that you didn’t know that there are there different camping experiences that make up the KOA Family of Campgrounds.

And what better time to experience a new way of camping than by trying out these fun brands and ways of camping with KOA?

The KOA Family of Campgrounds

Why do we have three different campgrounds?

Well, after over half a century in the business, we have learned that, while there are millions of people who enjoy our campgrounds every year, not all of those people are looking for the same experience in their camping.

Some campers maybe looking for an easy spot to get in and out of as they travel across North America Conversely, there are other campers who may prefer a camping experience with activities perfect for vacationing families.

Wherever you fall on that range of camping experiences, whether at one end or the other, or in between, KOA has a camping brand that fits your wants and needs. Each of these KOAs will make enjoying your ideal camping experience easier than saying “another s’more please!” Plus, no matter which campground you choose to stay at, you can be confident knowing each maintains the quality and standards you’ve come to expect.
