Not everybody is built for rugged camping. Why go backpacking in the dirt and the heat when you can experience nature from the comfort of your pre-stocked cabin or RV?
That's what KOA, or Kampgrounds of America, thinks too. That's why they've been providing a perfectly curated glamping experience since 1964.
