Sault Ste. Marie KOA wins major awards during annual convention



BILLINGS, MONTANA - The Sault Ste. Marie KOA Campground has been awarded the 2013 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 Saturday, November 17 at KOA’s annual International Convention in Orlando, Florida.



KOA is also celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2012.



The KOA Founder’s and President’s Awards are presented annually to campgrounds that receive the highest scores in customer service from their campers, and also receive top scores in KOA’s annual Quality Review.



The KOA Founder’s Award, named in honor of Dave Drum, who founded KOA on the banks of the Yellowstone River in Billings, Montana in 1962, is given to those 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.



“Our KOA owners rely on the feedback they receive from our camping guests to make almost instant changes and improvements to their operations,” said KOA President Pat Hittmeier. “KOA owners do a wonderful job a listening to our campers, and I’m proud to be able to recognize the best among the best with the KOA President’s and Founder’s Awards.”
