Camping and COVID-19 Guidelines

More Details

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. Granite City 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:

  • Staff trained and exhibiting safe and social distancing practices.
