KOA Kampgrounds Make List of Top U.S. Parks
ReserveAmerica Picks Top Campgrounds
From Among 4,000 Parks in North America
BILLINGS, MT (May 7, 2008) - Thirty Kampgrounds of America parks in North America were named Tuesday, May 6 to a list of top campgrounds in North America prepared by ReserveAmerica, one of the leading recreation reservation services in the nation.
The list included 15 separate categories and is intended as a guide to help consumers plan their visits to North America's "hidden gem" locations, according to Seth Rosenberg, president of ReserveAmerica.
"Our sixth annual list of campground awards continues our commitment to creating a resource for the camping consumer looking to plan and reserve a camping trip for this spring and summer," Rosenberg said. "We are proud to honor these outstanding public outdoor recreation facilities that provide such a high level of service and dedication while protecting our beautiful natural areas for future generations."
The campgrounds were selected based on testimonials, campground ratings and feedback provided by park rangers, regional park management and campers throughout the year. Nearly 4,000 parks were reviewed and the winners were determined based on specific family-friendly criteria ranging from educational programs and visitor centers to camping amenities and overall beauty and scenery. Factors including the quality and availability of hot showers, laundry facilities, hiking trails, family beaches, radio-free zones, children's events and location were also considered, Rosenberg said.
"We're thrilled and proud that 30 of our best campgrounds were included in ReserveAmerica's list of premiere parks in North America," said KOA President and Chief Operating Officer Shane Ott. "We also have more than 400 other great KOAs around the country that may not have made this list, but have certainly met our own stringent standards in order to fly the yellow KOA flag."
