Greybull KOAMeet Your Hosts Cor and Maria Bijvank have camped all over the world. Born and raised in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, the couple has traveled all over Europe, across the United States, into Canada, Alaska and Mexico. Early in 2005, they purchased their KOA campground, and as of now, this KOA is completely remodeled and redone. New bathrooms and laundry facilities are done and all of the sites now have level concrete pads. Cor and Maria run their campground differently than most in the U.S. "We greet campers with an old-fashioned European hospitality. When they arrive, we go to them so they don't have to come to us in the office," said Cor. The couple encourages people to relax, set up camp after arrival, and then check in later that day. This provides time to get to know their visitor's and help make each person comfortable. "We treat everyone like a friend," added Cor. "We prefer a friendly atmosphere." Due to the geologically interesting area, the campground evokes the attention of groups of travelers. Besides the regular travelers, Cor and Maria welcome colleges and universities studying the land and provide them with a base camp as the students delve into their studies. Often times the groups will stay seven to nine days as they get a first-hand glimpse of the inner workings of the Earth and the Big Horn Mountains. Cor speaks four different languages and Cor and Maria pride themselves on their ability to utilize their internationally oriented perspectives. "Sometimes people want to speak in their native language and as international travelers, they sometimes need help with things. "I can help with that," says Cor. "We have lived in a lot of places and seen a lot of things; we think we know what people like and dislike, so we do the best we can with our campground." The campground's originality is what sets it apart from many other campgrounds. It is a fun place to stop, be it for a night or a week, and they are there to add a European flair to an American tradition. Come meet The Bijvank Family. |
