Meet Your Hosts
Turn any corner at the San Diego Metro KOA Kampground, and you're likely to run into a member of the Bell family, hard at work to improve your camping experience.
There are now three generations of Bells operating this jewel of the KOA Kampgrounds system. That's not surprising, since the campground has always been a family affair.
Ted and Carol first built the campground to help raise extra funds for college for their three children - Patty, Mike and Terri. At the time, Ted had a 16-year career as a law enforcement officer.
Not only did the campground take care of their children's college education, it paid for college for all of their grandchildren, as well.
Son Mike joined the family campground business in 1975 after he finished college, and Mike's sons are also now active in the day-to-day operations.
"We always use the word 'guests' to describe our campers, and we treat them how we would like to be treated," says Mike.
For Ted, the campground is his life's passion. You'll probably catch him working on one of his continuous park improvement projects such as the beautiful landscaping you'll find throughout the campground. Mike's outside interests include hiking, boating and Rotary Club.
