KOA is excited to introduce a new feature that allows campers to purchase select camping essentials when booking their reservations online or over the phone! No more last-minute stops for firewood, ice, or s’mores supplies—your essentials can be ready and waiting when you arrive at participating KOA campgrounds.
How It Works
When making a reservation at a participating KOA campground, you’ll have the option to add camping essentials during the booking process. Here’s how:
- Visit KOA.com and search for your desired campground and travel dates.
- Select your site and proceed to the booking process.
- Look for the “shop ahead of your adventure” section in step 3—this is where available items like s’mores supplies and firewood will be displayed.
- Choose your items and complete your reservation. Your purchases will be ready when you check in!
If you’re booking by phone, just ask the KOA representative about available add-ons, and they can help you select the items you need.
What Can You Order?
Each KOA campground can choose to offer different essentials, so available items may vary. Some examples of what you might find will include:
- Firewood
- Ice
- Bug spray
- S’mores supplies
- Other handy camping necessities
By purchasing these items in advance, you can save time at check-in and spend more time simply enjoying your stay. No need to run out for forgotten supplies—just show up, settle in, and start making memories.
Participating KOAs
Because this is a brand-new feature, availability may vary by location. We encourage you to check with your chosen KOA campground to see if they offer this convenient option. More campgrounds will adopt this feature over time, so stay tuned!
We’re always looking for ways to make camping more enjoyable and hassle-free. This new feature is just one of the many ways we’re enhancing the camping experience for our guests. So next time you book a KOA stay, be sure to check out the camping essentials available at your destination.
