Celebrating 10 Years as a KOA Campground

Celebrating 10 Years as a KOA Campground

In 2026, we’re proud to celebrate a milestone that represents years of hard work, growth, and meaningful memories - 10 years as a KOA (Kampgrounds of America) campground.

Celebrating this milestone will take place in the weekend of July 17 - 18, and it’s more than just a celebration  it’s a reflection on a journey that began back in 2013.

Where It All Began

Our campground story started in 2013 when Ryan McPeek purchased the property formerly known as Colonial Campground. 

Those early years were focused on building a strong operational foundation, making upgrades, and reimagining what the campground could become.

Becoming a KOA

In August 2016, we reached a defining milestone when we officially became part of the KOA family. Aligning with KOA allowed us to combine our local ownership and personal approach with one of the most recognized brands in the camping industry.

Becoming a KOA campground meant:

  • Elevated standards and quality benchmarks

  • Access to a national network of campers

  • Expanded marketing reach

  • Ongoing operational support

  • Innovative technology

  • Stronger brand recognition

Over the past decade as a KOA, we’ve continued investing in infrastructure, guest amenities, themed events, and community partnerships - always with the goal of creating memorable camping & outdoor experiences.

More Than a Campground

Since 2013, we’ve welcomed thousands of families, hosted countless campfires, celebrated birthdays and reunions, and watched kids grow up returning year after year.

Camping is more than sites and hookups - it’s traditions. It’s unplugging from routine and reconnecting with what matters most.

Our campground has grown, evolved, and improved - but our mission has stayed the same: provide a place where families can gather, relax, enjoy the outdoors and make lasting memories.

Join Us July 17–18

Our 10-Year KOA Anniversary Weekend will be filled with celebration, including:

  • Giveaways and prizes

  • Sweet treats

Whether you’ve camped with us since the Colonial Campground days, joined us when we became KOA in 2016, or are planning your very first visit, this celebration is for you.

Thank You

This milestone belongs to everyone who has supported us — our guests, our family, our staff, our partners, and our community. Your loyalty and enthusiasm have allowed us to grow and thrive in the campground industry for over a decade.

We’re grateful for the past 10 years as a KOA campground — and we’re even more excited about what the next decade will bring.

We hope to see you July 17–18 as we celebrate together.

- Ryan & Camille McPeek
