Enjoy great camping: play, relax and recharge!

Thomas and Sylvia moved from Switzerland to the U.S. in early 1998, with their two young boys, Stephan and Andreas.
The family had enjoyed camping even before moving to this beautiful country!
It did not take long for them to find out that America was a Camping Nation, with unbelievable outdoor opportunities. With their new travel trailer, they started to explore the country.
Attracted by the KOA Yellow and the consistent quality of the parks they visited along their travels, Thomas and Sylvia started talking to the owners of these campgrounds. Amazed by the many upbeat people they met and their positive experiences as camping hosts, the thought of owning a KOA took root.
When the opportunity arose to acquire the Chicago Northwest KOA campground, both were ready to make their dream happen. Time flies by! It's already been more then 10 years since this decision was made. Now going about their business with some experience, they enjoy their campground even more!
Sylvia spends most of her free time in their retreat in Wisconsin. Thomas is an avid outdoorsman. He spends a lot of time hunting and fishing. You might see him working with his German Short-haired Pointer, Orvis S'more!
