44 Koa Kampgrounds Receive Founder’s Award

BILLINGS, MT (Friday, December 16, 2005) - Kampgrounds of America, Inc. recently honored 44 KOA Kampgrounds across North America with the Founder’s Award for their outstanding camper guest service.

The Founder’s Award is given to KOA Kampground owners/managers for providing a high level of customer service and for effectively meeting their camping guest’s expectations. This award is determined solely on feedback from campers through annual surveys that measure their guest’s experience while staying at their campground. Each campground must score high in all areas of customer service, campground facilities, cleanliness and overall value to receive a Founder’s Award.

"The Founder's Award truly recognizes KOA owners and managers who deliver on our brand promise of 'Great people. Great camping,'" says Jim Rogers, KOA President and CEO. "Only 10 percent of the campgrounds in our KOA system are recognized with this prestigious award, and it's a reflection of all the hard work our KOA owners and managers put into their KOA."

You can find a full list of Founder’s Award winners below.
