They recognized the opportunity to turn their KOA into one of the highest rated campgrounds in the country.

"We are here to meet all your needs – from the moment you arrive to when you depart. Hopefully, you don’t depart", laughs Paul.
Front Office Manager Aleta Mergenthaler has lived in Polson most of her life and clearly sees why people travel from all over the world to visit this "little piece of heaven." She enjoys running and spending time with her family.
