Austin East KOA | Texas
The pleasures of the Lone Star State await when you set up camp at the new Austin East KOA. Getting settled is easy, thanks to full hookups at every site.

Known for its top-tier musical talent and a year-round roster of festivals and events, Austin is an easy drive from the campground. You’re also less than five minutes from the Travis County Exposition Center which hosts horse shows, rodeos and more. If you’re a boater or an angler, sparkling Walter E. Long lake is a nearby destination you won’t want to miss.
Milton / Madison SE KOA | Wisconsin
Tucked into the rolling hills of southern Wisconsin, the Milton / Madison SE KOA is a family friendly campground that offers grassy, level sites surrounded by blooming gardens and expansive grounds. The modern facilities of this KOA include an 8,000 square-foot clubhouse with a game room, meeting room, TVs and more. Outside, a two-story pool deck invites you to relax beside the heated pool complete with waterfall. While the campground amenities might make you never want to leave, you’re just a short drive from golf courses and the University of Wisconsin (just 45 minutes north). Boaters can cruise the waters of 10,000 acre Lake Koshkonong or head north to the chain of four lakes near Madison. Your hosts, the Kersten and Riggio families are excited to welcome you to their relaxing KOA.
