Firewood Policy
Please Note: Our KOA has a number of Ash trees. In an effort to protect them from the Emerald Ash Borer we can no longer permit any of our guests to bring their own firewood. The state of Michigan recommends no moving of firewood in the State and no outside wood brought into any campgrounds.
Meet Your Hosts
"We pride ourselves on delivering great service and making sure there is a friendly atmosphere throughout the campground."
Fun packed family vacations were a treat that Chris and Debbie Pietras always tried to provide and those vacations came in the form of great camping trips. While both had busy schedules, Chris owned a wholesale meat business, and Debbie, who continues to be a full-time registered nurse, were able to get away for quick weekend trips.
"The weekend trips never did seem long enough and we always thought owning a campground would be a great way to have the experience last longer," says Debbie. "We found a way that allowed us to continue working with people, be outdoors at the same time and allow us time with our family," says Chris. Owning the Emmett KOA has given them just that...and a whole lot more.
The Pietras' daughter, Amy, manages the campground full time. She graduated from Wayne State University with a teaching degree. Amy and her husband Dan had a baby boy in September 2010 giving Chris and Debbie their first grandson named Angelo. Their son, Christopher Jr., is teaching at Mills Park Middle School in Cary NC teaching Business Education classes.
Keeping the campers happy and entertained is another great side effect they have enjoyed since coming into the campground business. "We pride ourselves on delivering pleasant customer service and making sure there is a friendly atmosphere throughout the campground," says Debbie. The interaction that take place during the weekend pancake breakfasts help to ensure that friendly atmosphere.
Even with the enjoyment of a busy campground, the Pietras' look forward to the off season so they can continue their first love of camping, along with cooking and entertaining.
