MEET OUR KOA OWNERS AND STAFF

Q: Who's WHO at the KOA Holiday in Lincoln City, OR? 

A: The most friendly, hard-working and helpful staff ever, that's WHO! 

By Molly O'Leary…The number one most mentioned feature about our KOA that Guests share with us in their reviews is about our staff! Check this out… "Super friendly, helpful, go above and beyond, awesome, love their jobs, accommodating, hard workers," just to mention a few. We'd like to introduce you to the people you will see when you check in and stay at our KOA Holiday campground in Lincoln City, OR. 

MEET THE OWNERS STEVE AND HEIDI Steve and Heidi are part of a long history of family ownership. They purchased our KOA in 2019 from Steve's parents, who had nearly 40 years of hard, dedicated work to run it. Since that transition, the new owners have improved the overall campground layout by adding Deluxe Patio Full-Hookup sites, invested in a Wi-Fi upgrade for a reliable signal, enhanced the landscaping, added a bridge and a small nature trail to climb to the top of the property line, remodeled the General Store and Rec Room flooring and paint, refurbished the Little Campfire Cafe trailer and cooking equipment, expanded the dog run for more than three times the play area for our pet Guests and had many of the rustic cabin roofs replaced. Plus, there is much more to come on their "TO DO" list! By now, you get the idea this family is all in for making it the award-winning KOA that it is: it has won in the last three consecutive years the KOA Founders and Presidents Awards which says a lot! They have quite a line of future bosses, as we like to call them. Meet Steve and Heidi's children: Hailey, Grace, Jacob, Jenna, Tucker and the newest addition, baby Sadie Maye. For the kids, working at the family KOA is a given when the time is right. Our KOA Staff is most appreciative of this very special family. We all thank you!

MEET NANCY (not pictured). Nancy has seen it all! She was hired over 18 years ago. She's worked through two family owners, served thousands of KOA Guests, survived lots of Winter storms and even a few evacuations due to local wildfires, worked with a variety of employees who have come and gone and helped with hundreds of campground activities. Nancy works with her Maintenance partner Danny (see profile below) every Friday, Saturday and Sunday year-round. Together, Nancy and Danny have the most KOA Lincoln City experience, over 22 years combined. We like to call them our "A Team"! Her dog Buttons (the cutest dog ever) comes to work with her every shift. She's also painted many unique murals around the campground as well as the horse swings. Over the years, she's created original crafts for sale in the General Store. On top of all that, she makes "Surprise Bags" for Guests to buy for just $3 to $5. Needless to say, Nancy is a legacy here. 

MEET DAVE AND PATTY Dave and Patty have been working at our KOA for over 10 years, arriving every May to work our Summer season. Dave works on the Maintenance Team mowing sites, weed eating where needed, cleaning bathrooms and cabins and much more. His wife Patty works in our General Store cashiering, checking in Guests, making reservations, answering phones and helping with tasks as needed. When Dave and Patty finish their Summer commitment with us, they drive their RV to Las Vegas, NV, to run a pumpkin patch and Christmas tree lot. Believe it or not, they are BOTH octogenarians and set a wonderful example for seniors by living life their way on their terms.
