Kampgrounds of America (KOA) has made camping convenient, fun and affordable�with the comforts of home. KOA locations can be found throughout the states, offering travelers options ranging from a basic cabin to a roomy lodge. Every cabin or lodge has beds, interior lighting and lockable doors, so visitors can always be safe and comfortable while enjoying the great outdoors.

KOA distinguishes itself from the competition by providing all the amenities that guests will need. Weary travelers on a road trip or vacationing families will appreciate the coin laundries, playgrounds and immaculate bathrooms with individual showers and dressing areas. Many campgrounds have swimming pools, and some have hot tubs, bike rentals, miniature golf, camper kitchens and nightly entertainment. The KOA Kampground Store takes care of any other needs.

KOA allows franchisees to purchase an existing KOA campground, convert an ordinary campground into a KOA or build a new KOA.
