Meet Your Hosts
CloseTom Rocco, the General Manager of the Cape Hatteras KOA Campground, is thrilled to be managing this KOA for a number of reasons. "As an avid camper and RVer, I've always had an interest in learning the camping business from an operator's perspective. Managing KOA properties has been an invaluable learning experience," says Tom. He also loves the fantastic location, which is the perfect setting for his love of water sports, biking and camping.
His business style matches that of KOA to the tee. "GREAT customer service is the cornerstone of the KOA trademark. Promoting this philosophy is simple if you follow one rule: treat every guest as you expect to be treated. Having curb appeal, great amenities, clean restrooms, and planned activities are all essential, but a friendly empathetic staff is what guests will remember and take home," says Tom.
Tom's understanding of people and business comes from leading a lively existence. "My career history resembles a jigsaw puzzle! After obtaining degrees in psychology, journalism and criminal justice, I pursued a career in tennis. First playing college then semi-professional tennis I decided to teach/coach tennis as a career. Injuries and age eventually forced my first career change into the criminal justice system as "Court Liaison". Fifteen years later another career jump guided me into resort/facility management.
Tom's ability to attract people seems to extend to wildlife as well. "While RVing in the Ocala National Forest, we had a late night visit from a black bear that stood against the RV, peering into the window, then rocking the whole RV.
It seems that campers, staff members and even bears like spending time with Tom!

We really did build the "World's Largest S'More"
On June 19, 1999 over 200 KOA campers and local Girl Scouts toasted 9,300 Jet-Puffed marshmallows, unwrapped 4,000 Nestle chocolate bars and 300 pounds of Honey Maid graham crackers in an attempt to create a new world’s record for the Guinness Book of Records. The monster munchie weighed in at 788 pounds and measured 10 feet wide by 40 feet long taking just over five hours to complete. This historic event was a big hit for families as they made their own individual s’mores all day long while cheering on the creation of the largest s’more ever made. It truly was a sight to see and we encourage you to check our events calendar for more exciting activities at the campground. Don’t miss out on all the fun!
