RV Sites

It all started with the RV back in 1962 at the Billings KOA. When KOA's founder, Dave Drum, saw campers traveling to the world's fair in need of a place to stay during their travels. While we have come a long way since our first campgrounds, we still apply that same diligence of continuous improvement by listening to your ideas and incorporating them into the RV experience at KOA. Our clean, level sites and full hookups let you easily set up camp so you can enjoy the fun activities and quality amenities that come standard behind every yellow sign.

Have you been to a KOA lately? That yellow sign still represents the best in customer service and campgrounds you can count on. With more than 500 locations, you can always expect variety, but some things at KOA always come standard, like the expertise and friendly customer service that comes with every dedicated employee wearing a yellow shirt. Other things you'll find at all locations include clean bathrooms and hot showers, KOA convenience stores and self-service laundry.

All of our locations are pet-friendly, so you can always travel with Fido. We make our furry guests feel right at home with our Kamp K9^TM pet parks at select KOA locations. Let your pet run and play in a safe and secure environment. It's only fair that they get to have a little fun, too.

Beyond the standard essentials, you'll find a number of extras at many KOA locations. Get physical with hiking trails, bike rentals, water sports, land sports and swimming pools. Keep the kids or grandkids entertained with mini golf, game rooms, gem mining, horseback riding and fishing. Many locations also host themed weekends and special events, such as movie nights and pancake breakfasts, to keep you busy. Since all amenities differ based on location, make sure to reach out to your desired KOA campground to learn what they have to offer!

With so many different amenities and activity options, it's like a whole new experience every time you stay with KOA. Scope out the details of your selected location ahead of time to make sure you don't miss any of the fun.

6. Upcoming Events

Check out Jazz Fest during a stay at one of our Louisiana KOAs, or RV your way to Texas for South by Southwest. Whether you prefer music, culture, sports or something else, traveling in your RV to your favorite events gives you the perfect reason to reserve a spot at a nearby KOA.

7. Local Spots

Need a break from your day-to-day routine but don't have the time to RV across the country? Reserve a spot at a local KOA with RV campsites.

Did you know 70% of campers camp within 200 miles of home? Make a quick getaway to a local KOA campground for camping fun close to home.

Sure, your RV is designed to let you go off the grid, but why give up the conveniences of home? Full hookups keep you connected for a more enjoyable experience. If you're new to RV camping, you may wonder what full hookup campgrounds are. Sites with full hookups give you the option to directly connect your RV to electricity, water and sewer.

Full Hookups

Why are full hookups important? They give you a convenient way to camp in your RV with a steady supply of water, which comes in handy in your camper bathroom and for cooking purposes. Sewer hookups offer easy waste disposal without having to dump your tank at the end of the trip. The electrical connection provides enough electricity to power everything inside your camper, including the air conditioning and heating system. It makes your RV feel even more like home.

KOA offers both 30- and 50-amp service in our parks. This lets you connect to the service that matches your camper's system. When given the option, it's always best to connect your 50-amp RV to 50-amp service. It protects the electrical system and appliances in your RV. You're also less likely to cause a blackout in the campground when you connect to the higher power source.

Electric/Water Hookups

Hookups offering water and electricity provide you with a source of power for your RV and a supply of clean, fresh water. Sometimes also referred to as “partial hookups,” these are often great for pop-up campers and smaller RVs.

Dry Hookups

Dry hookups offer a power source for your RV, but no hookup for water. If you choose a dry hookup campsite, don’t worry, KOA campgrounds offer clean bathrooms with fresh water and hot showers.

Types of RV Campsite Styles

Whether you prefer pull-thru or back-in sites, KOA has you covered. We offer well-planned RV sites designed for ease of setting up your rig.

Back-In RV Sites

Our back-in sites feature a 60-degree slant with wide clearance to back your RV into position. Once backed in place, you can easily connect to our full hook-ups to get your rig up and running.

Pull-Thru RV Sites

Not a fan of backing up in a large RV? Reserve one of pull-thru RV sites. You get the same 60-degree slant with the ease of driving straight through the spot into the perfect position.

Patio RV Sites

KOA patio RV sites are available as back-in or pull-thru sites and offer a patio and additional amenities that may include patio furniture, picnic tables, additional seating, charcoal BBQ pits, fire pits, and more! Contact specific KOA campgrounds for site amenities available at specific KOA locations and RV campsites.

No matter what type you choose, you'll appreciate the level sites at KOA campgrounds. You want your RV level for proper operation of appliances and for stability. You can use leveling blocks or ramps, but why deal with the hassle? When you park your RV on a level spot to begin with, you don't have to deal with extensive leveling, so you can get to the business of camping much faster.

Concerned about the length of your RV? Travel trailers and 5th wheel trailers range anywhere from 10 feet to 45 feet. Motorhomes come in anywhere from 17 feet to 40 feet. Check the exact length of your camper to ensure you get a site that fits. KOA RV sites are designed to accommodate a wide range of trailers and RVs, but it's always a good idea to check the exact length of the site compared to the exact length of your RV - and your tow vehicle if you have a trailer-style camper - to make sure it's a match made in camping heaven.

Where do you want to explore? With your RV in tow, you can go virtually anywhere. Don't worry, you'll find a KOA nearby. Start by making a list of places you want to visit. Search for campground locations online or by using the KOA app to find your options. The campground description gives you all the details about the amenities and types of RV spots available at each location.

If you're planning an RV road trip, use the KOA Trip Planner to find stops along the way. Our KOA Journey Campgrounds feature convenient pull-through sites with locations near major roadways for easy access while road tripping. Well-lit, after-hours check-in means you can roll in when it fits your road trip timetable.

If you are a Snowbird or Winter Texan looking to escape to the winter weather, consider planning an extended stay at one of our quality southern, warm locations. With locations close to popular attractions and access to nature, you are sure to be able to plan the perfect winter getaway!

What You Should Know Before Reserving Your Spot at an RV Park

You have your RV dusted off and are ready for the camping season. You're ready to choose an RV park. What's next? Comparing the quality, amenities and customer service of potential campgrounds helps you narrow down your options to ensure you have a great time while camping.

What to Look for in an RV Spot

 

If you've spent much time RV camping, you know not all RV parking sites are created equally. So what do you need to look for when comparing RV parks? Here are a few features that top the list:

• Ground: Is the ground flat or uneven? Rolling hills are beautiful to look at, but setting up a camper on uneven ground is no fun. KOA takes the slant out of RV setup with our clean, level sites.
• Size: RVs come in all different sizes, as do camper sites. Make sure your rig fits comfortably onto the campsite. When making a reservation online, enter your RV length and we will match you up with a site that fits your rig. If you can't find the length of the RV spot, call the campground to get a measurement.
• Site Style: RV spots come in two styles: back-in or pull-thru. This is more of a personal preference, but pull-thru spots generally make it easier to get your camper into the spot straight. If you get nervous when backing your RV, look for an RV campground with pull-thru sites. Many KOA locations have both styles for your convenience.
• Hookups: RV sites come with a range of hookups, from primitive sites to full hookups. We already discussed the advantages of full hookups. Some campgrounds offer only electric, only water or both without the sewer connection. Make sure you know what type of hookup you're getting with your reservation. Our RV sites offer full hookups for your convenience.
• Location: The location within the campground is another factor in choosing a spot. Decide if you want a wooded spot, a view of the lake or a spot near specific facilities. Many campgrounds take requests for site location ahead of time, although you cannot always get a guaranteed spot reservation.
• Extras: Can you get Wi-Fi from your spot? Are you close to activities and amenities at the campground? The little things often make the difference in your experience. These extras can tip the scales toward KOA, since we offer a full range of amenities.

Reserving an RV Site

 

With over 60,000 sites at our campgrounds, you're sure to find an RV spot perfect for your upcoming getaway. Reservations are easy. Head to our website, find your location and search for availability on your preferred dates. When you find what you want, you can complete the reservation process right online, through our app or by calling the local campground.

If you're already on the road, check out the KOA App. Search for locations right from your smartphone or tablet. Filter the options based on your preferred amenities, mark certain locations as favorites and complete your reservation, all from the app.

The final options are to go directly to the source and call the location itself, where you will reach a friendly staff member ready to answer your questions and complete your reservation. Or if you're in a bit of a hurry, walk-in reservations are also welcome, so feel free to stop in on your way through and reserve a campsite for the night or even longer if you like.

The specific reservation process varies somewhat by location, but you can expect to pay a deposit to hold the reservation. The deposit typically equals the cost for one night of the RV site. We understand things come up sometimes, so it's a good idea to review the cancellation policy for special requirements of the campground location you choose. The standard cancellation deadline is at least 48 hours before your reservation or by 4 p.m. at least two days prior to your scheduled arrival date.
