RV Pro reports that Kampgrounds of America (KOA) recently awarded a record number of quality KOA President and KOA Founder Awards during its annual convention on Nov. 14 at the Fort Worth Convention Center in Fort Worth, Texas. The awards are presented each year based on a campground’s KOA Quality Assurance scores, as well as direct feedback from hundreds of thousands of KOA campers who stayed at KOA campgrounds during 2018.
According to a press release, fresh from the Awards convention during the past week, KOA owners and managers at 275 KOA campground locations received the prestigious KOA Founder’s Award, and 422 KOA President’s Awards were distributed. KOA chairman and CEO Pat Hittmeier stated in the press release, “[Our awards] are a reflection of the fantastic effort our campground owners have made in not only improving their facilities, but ratcheting up the level of guest service at all of their parks.” New Bern KOA Holiday in North Carolina, owned by Joel Tomaselli and managed by Pat Holtzclaw, had consistently been at the top of the list of quality KOA parks for the past few years, and Tomaselli had invested heavily in the campground to enhance his guest's camping experience, despite much adversity in the 2018 year. Therefore, Kampgrounds of America named the New Bern KOA Holiday as its Campground of the Year for 2019. Furthermore, The KOA Rising Star Award was present to a suitable campground who earned the respect. The award is presented annually to one campground that has been part of the 515-location KOA system for less than five years but has gotten off to a fast start in growth, investment, guest service scores and revenue. Receiving KOA’s Rising Star award was Don and Cheryl Arnold who purchased their Ohio campground in 2012, called Thompson/Grand River Valley KOA Holiday.
