KOA Secures Spot in 2024 Franchise Times Top 400 Ranking

Kampgrounds of America (KOA) has once again solidified its position in outdoor hospitality, being named to the 2024 Franchise Times Top 400 list. Ranking 120th overall, KOA was recognized as the top-ranked hospitality franchisor. 

This ranking, which evaluates the largest franchise systems in the United States, is based on global systemwide sales performance over the previous year, underscoring KOA’s commitment to excellence and growth in the industry.

The annual Franchise Times Top 400 is regarded as one of the most comprehensive rankings of U.S. franchise systems.

Toby O’Rourke, president and CEO of KOA, expressed pride in the company’s inclusion in the ranking. “We are honored to be recognized as one of the top 400 franchises by Franchise Times,” O’Rourke said. “Not only is it a testament to the company’s ongoing growth and innovation, but it also reflects our commitment to delivering franchise value while ensuring exceptional guest experiences.”

KOA’s franchise model is built on offering comprehensive support services for campground owners and operators. These services include everything from operational guidance to marketing tools designed to increase visibility and draw more campers. 

According to its press release, KOA is committed to its mission of “connecting people to the outdoors and each other.” The company operates under two brands: KOA and Terramor Outdoor Resorts. 

KOA boasts brand visibility, offering campground owners and operators support in areas such as education, design, recruitment, marketing, and technology. With over 60 years of experience, KOA has established itself as the largest system of privately owned campgrounds worldwide, featuring more than 500 franchised and owned locations. In contrast, Terramor Outdoor Resorts presents a glamping option, providing guests with a refined and upscale outdoor experience.

In addition, KOA allocates 1% of its pre-tax profits to support the Kampgrounds of America Foundation. This initiative aims to enhance opportunities for individuals to access and engage with the outdoors while positively impacting local communities.
