Sensible Weather has teamed up with Kampgrounds of America (KOA) to offer weather protection to campers across the United States. Through this partnership, campers at over 450 KOA campgrounds can now purchase Sensible Weather’s Weather Guarantee, which provides reimbursement in the event of inclement weather, offering peace of mind and enhancing the outdoor experience.

Sensible Weather’s Weather Guarantee allows campers to enjoy their trips without worrying about unpredictable weather conditions. If weather conditions exceed “predefined limits,” Sensible Weather automatically notifies customers via text, offering up to 100% reimbursement, without the need for claims or negotiations.

Nick Cavanaugh, Ph.D., CEO and founder of Sensible Weather, emphasized that with camping being a central part of leisure activities for many Americans, the Weather Guarantee ensures that campers can commit to their trips without the fear of bad weather ruining their plans.

“Instead of letting the threat of unpredictable weather get in the way, our Weather Guarantees help campers commit to their next camping trip, and with the addition of KOA to our portfolio, will help campers make the most of their time at the majority of campgrounds across the U.S,” Cavanaugh explained.

KOA has seen significant growth in camping participation, with active campers increasing by 68% over the past decade, according to the company’s 2024 Camping & Hospitality Report. By partnering with Sensible Weather, KOA is responding to the demand for outdoor experiences while maintaining its reputation for providing camping experiences.

Diane Eichler, Sr. vice president of marketing at KOA, noted that weather can “heavily” impact outdoor hospitality, and Sensible Weather’s Guarantee will allow campers to book with greater confidence, ensuring that weather concerns won’t hinder their outdoor adventures.

Sensible Weather, founded in 2019, has become a player in the weather protection space, offering its Weather Guarantee to the travel and outdoor hospitality industries. Additionally, KOA continues to innovate in the camping industry, offering support and services to campground owners while enhancing the guest experience. Through this new partnership, KOA aims to encourage more people to connect with the outdoors and create lasting memories.
