Dayton KOA Holiday General Information

Dayton KOA Holiday relies on our own well water system, which is tested monthly for bacteriological contaminants as required by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. This means that the water you use while camping with us is naturally sourced from an aquifer below ground and often contains more naturally occurring minerals and fewer chemicals than if it were from a city water supply. Because iron is naturally occurring in our area, the water may look a little different than your water back home, but it is safe to drink and use for daily chores.

Everything you need to know to make your camping trip a breeze can be found here. Etiquette Video.

We understand that you may have a particular site in mind when booking a reservation at Dayton KOA. To accommodate these requests we require a $25 site request fee which places a lock on your reservation. Due to constant renovation and updates to the campground amenities and sites, we cannot guarantee that the site you request during booking will be the same site upon arrival. Should the site you requested upon making your reservation be changed for any reason, you will be contacted by a staff member prior to your arrival. The site request fee is refundable should your request not be accommodated due to extenuating circumstances.

Creating memorable guests experiences!

Shelly's professional journey began in the medical field, where she spent many years working in pediatric cardio/thoracic surgery. She later transitioned into plastic surgery and managed a busy surgical center. During her time in the medical field, she played a role in life-changing surgeries for children and has assisted with several heart transplants!

While healthcare was a rewarding field, Shelly chose to shift directions and pursue a path that would allow her to engage more closely with people in a relaxed environment. Her transition into hospitality and operations has been a natural fit, and she notes that she is excited to bring that same dedication to her new role at Dayton KOA.

Shelly has worked at many KOA Campgrounds including Glenwood Springs West KOA, Nashville KOA, Lake Conroe KOA, Albuquerque KOA and has spent the last 3 years at the Tucson KOA.

Shelly is particularly excited about the opportunity to create memorable experiences for guests while leading a team in a beautiful, outdoor setting. Growing up, her family did not take many vacations, but when they did, they went tent camping at KOA. Those are some of her most treasured memories. She hopes to make a lasting impact on both the KOA team as well as the guests who return year after year.
