We are incredibly proud to share that Mt. Gilead KOA has been recognized with the 2025 KOA ICON Award—one of the highest honors within the Kampgrounds of America system.
This achievement places our campground among the top 10% of KOA campgrounds across North America—a milestone that reflects not just our team’s dedication, but the experience we strive to create for every guest who visits. (KOA Pressroom)
The KOA ICON Award was created to recognize campgrounds that go above and beyond in every aspect of the camping experience.
Recipients are selected based on a combination of:
Exceptional guest satisfaction (measured through guest surveys and Net Promoter Scores)
Strong year-over-year growth
Active engagement with KOA programs and brand standards (KOA Pressroom)
Campgrounds are then ranked within their size category, and only the top-performing 10% earn this distinction—making it one of the most elite recognitions in the KOA system. (KOA)
In short, the ICON Award represents consistent excellence, not just a one-time achievement.
For you, this award means confidence.
It means when you stay at Mt. Gilead KOA, you can expect:
A clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed campground
A team that genuinely cares about your experience
A welcoming atmosphere where families, couples, and travelers can relax and enjoy their time
The ICON Award recognizes campgrounds that “consistently go above and beyond” to create exceptional guest experiences—and that’s exactly what we aim to deliver every single day. (KOA)
This award isn’t just about us—it’s about you.
Every review, every return visit, every recommendation to friends and family has helped us reach this milestone. Your support, feedback, and trust are a huge part of what made this possible.
While we’re honored to receive the 2025 ICON Award, we see it as motivation—not a finish line.
We will continue to:
Improve and elevate your experience
Invest in our campground and amenities
Create a place where memories are made year after year
