If you’re a camper, or are considering becoming one — the familiar Yellow Sign of Kampgrounds of America, or KOA is a welcome sight for many.  Whether you’re seeking some fun adventures, are looking to create a base camp or outdoor recreation is your thing — with more than 520 locations nationwide, KOA has you covered.  In fact, it’s been the core of their business now since 1962.  And KOA isn’t just for tent campers, RV’ers or those pulling their trailers — as they also offer a variety of Deluxe Cabins with kitchens, bathrooms and more, plus Glamping Tents, yurts, etc.

20 months have passed since our last on-air conversation with KOA’s CEO Toby O’Rourke, and certainly the camping sector of travel has experienced strong growth during this time — and it’s partly why we knew it was time to invite her back for our popular “Chief Travel Leader” conversation.  During our live broadcast of America’s #1 Travel Radio Show on 11 March 2023, as she always does, Toby was again candid with us while sharing positive results and expectations for both KOA and her sector of travel.  She also got a little personal when offering tips to help make your own camping and outdoor travels a success.  To hear the full interview that aired across the USA via our now 510+ weekly stations that air RMWorldTravel with Robert & Mary Carey and Rudy Maxa, just click on the play arrow immediately following this text to access the archive …
