The Lookout Mountain/Chattanooga West KOA Campground has been awarded the 2015 KOA President’s and Founder’s Awards by Kampgrounds of America Inc., the world’s largest system of family-friendly campgrounds. The awards were presented Friday at KOA’s Annual International Convention in Charleston, South Carolina. KOA is celebrating its 52nd Anniversary in 2014.
The KOA President’s Awards are presented annually to campgrounds that receive high scores in customer service from their campers, and also receive high scores in KOA’s annual Quality Review.
The KOA Founder’s Award is named in honor of Dave Drum, who founded KOA on the banks of the Yellowstone River in Billings, Mt.
in 1962. It is given to those KOA campgrounds that attained the very top scores in both customer service and the KOA Quality Review. KOA surveys hundreds of thousands of campers each year regarding their KOA camping experience.
“We listen very closely to what our campers have to say about their KOA experience,” said KOA President Pat Hittmeier. “Our owners and their staffs are well trained and truly are the leaders in outdoor hospitality in North America. It’s an honor to be able to recognize their efforts by presenting them both the KOA President’s Award and KOA Founder’s Award.”
