Meet Your Hosts

For nearly 20 years, Gene and Micki Tapper of the Allentown KOA have been giving campers a vacation to remember.

"Our campers are the most important part of our campground," Micki says, "We want them to create many memories during their visit, whether it's through fishing in the stream or taking a dip in the pool."

The first thing you will notice when pulling into the campground is the beautiful landscaping and well-maintained sites for the campers to enjoy.

Micki and Gene both take pride in the setting the campground offers, with the mountains and streams, being great opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. "It is a beautiful campground that offers fun for all ages," they say.

Not only are the great outdoors the perfect getaway spot for campers, but the main reason Gene and Micki became involved in the camping industry. "We love the outdoors and this really gives us a chance to spend time together in a setting that we really enjoy," says Micki.

In their spare time, the couple enjoys biking together. Micki also takes pleasure in reading and gardening while Gene enjoys outdoor activities such as running and skating.
