Industry-Leading Software a Boon To Campground Management
BILLINGS, MT (May 6, 2008) -The world's premiere computerized campground operating system is now standard equipment at every Kampgrounds of America park in North America.
Although the KampSight system has been available to KOA owners since 2000, not all KOAs had adopted the technology.
KOA President and Chief Operating Officer Shane Ott set a target of May 1, 2008 for total adoption for the system, and KOA franchisees stepped up to the challenge, bringing the proper hardware and training to their campgrounds to "close the loop" and bring 100 percent of the KOA system to KampSight. KOA now has nearly 460 campgrounds across North America.
"It became obvious last fall that we had to close the loop and get 100 percent participation on KampSight by all KOA campgrounds," said Ott. "We've had to say goodbye to some campgrounds that just weren't willing to make the change. KampSight is now an integral part of being a KOA, and it allows us to continue to set the pace for the rest of the camping industry."
Seven campgrounds chose not to convert to KampSight and have left the KOA system in the past few months. But, 11 existing KOA campgrounds have made the switch to KampSight in 2008, along with 12 new campgrounds just added to the KOA system.
