Kamping and COVID-19 Guidelines

At Kampgrounds of America, our mission is connecting people to the outdoors and to each other.
During these rapidly evolving times, connecting people to each other takes on new meaning. It revolves around the responsibility we have for the health of our employees, our campground owners, and you, our guest.

Kankakee South KOA is encouraging a safe outdoor experience to combat and prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. In support of that initiative, our campground will offer:

· Contactless check-in.

· Campsite delivery of propane, firewood, ice, and other store items by texting your campsite number and needs to (815) 939-4603.
Payment will be allowed by credit card or charged to your site and settled at check-out.

· Staff trained and exhibiting safe and social distancing practices to include the wearing of masks and gloves.

· Frequent sanitization of open common areas.

For those visiting us, until further notice, Kankakee South KOA will enforce the following rules and restrictions for the use of its private park during the COVID-19 epidemic. These parameters are being put in place to ensure the health and safety of our staff and our welcomed campers.

Rules

1. All camping is currently by reservation only. Sites available are currently limited to full hook-up sites, Cabins, and limited tent sites. Campers will be spaced at a greater distance than that recommended by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention and Illinois Department of Public Health.

2. Campers with symptoms consistent with COVID-19 should stay or go home and not engage in any outdoor activity. Symptoms include the following:

Campers should avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Groups (not of the same household) will be limited to 10 individuals in a campsite while practicing social distancing and/or wearing masks.

The Kankakee South KOA owners and staff are diligently monitoring the situation around the clock and are actively working to ensure our campground takes all recommended precautions to ensure safe and healthy stays for all our campers.
