Local KOA Campground Opens Thursday

The Kinzua East KOA Campground, located at Kinzua Heights Route 59 in Bradford, will be opening for the 2010 camping season on April 15.

The KOA is one of 475 open-to-the-public KOA campgrounds now in the Kampgrounds of America system in the United States and Canada.

“The Kinzua East KOA is a great example of the wonderful facilities we have available for campers across North America,” said KOA CEO Jim Rogers. “We pride ourselves in finding just the right locations with just the right people to wear our familiar yellow shirts. Camping at a KOA is now a true experience for your family.”

Last summer, despite economic challenges, a record number of campers enjoyed KOA campgrounds.

“A lot of campers are discovering that they have a great KOA right in their own backyards,” Rogers said. “We want to encourage everyone to come on out this spring and give this KOA a try. It’s a fantastic, affordable way to reconnect with your family and friends and make the best possible use of your limited free time.”

All campers are reminded that they can pick up a new 2010 KOA Directory absolutely free at any KOA campground. The Directory is a complete travel atlas of every state and Canadian province, and includes descriptive listings of each KOA campground as well as detailed maps and directions to each location.
