OKEMOS, MI—November 2021—Kampgrounds of America, Inc. (KOA) announced winners of their annual campground awards during their Baton Rouge, Louisiana, convention this past week. The winners are based on surveys from campers following their stay as well as an annual on-site quality inspection of the campgrounds.
The awards include the KOA President’s Award, which is presented to campgrounds that excel in providing great camping facilities and high levels of guest service. Receiving that award also entitles a campground to be awarded the Founder’s Award, which is the premiere achievement awarded to KOA campgrounds with the highest quality camping facilities that exceed guest expectations.
Campgrounds are awarded from every state, of which there are 525 across the nation.
