Why Choose Group Sites Over Other Types of Camping?

Group camping sites keep you close together while you're away from home. It's a great way to bond with your group. Need more reasons to choose a group camping spot? Connection to Nature

Sure, you could reserve a block of hotel rooms, but you miss the connection with nature that only comes with camping. You can stretch your legs, go for a hike, catch fish and breathe fresh air during your stay. Pet Friendly

When you choose a KOA location for your group gathering, you get the added bonus of being able to bring along furry group members. Our campgrounds welcome pets, and even offer dog parks at our facilities.

Scout Program

Traveling with a Scout group? Helping your Scout earn merit badges? KOA can help. Many of our campgrounds offer special rates and free facilities for Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Girl Guides groups. It's the perfect way to get the Scouts out into nature, earning badges and completing service projects.

Check for a KOA location near you to find more information about the Scouting programs available on-site.

The Perfect Camping Trip for Your Group

Camping at KOA can be the perfect getaway or activity for any number of different groups, including:

Accommodation Options for Camping Groups

What's your group's camping style? Are you the rough-it type who only tent camps? Are you planning an RV rally with all your RV-owning friends? Or do you prefer a little less roughing it and a little more home away from home? No matter how your group likes to camp, KOA has an option for you.

While the specific accommodations may vary from one KOA location to another, you can find the following types of large group campsites at KOA: Group Camping RV Sites

Roll up in your rigs and into our RV campsites for groups. We have 30- and 50-amp service with full hookups on pull-thru and back-in sites. Group Deluxe Cabin Campsites

If you want even more comforts of home, reserve Deluxe Cabins for your group. Most Deluxe Cabins feature kitchenettes along with gas grills and fire pits.

Check with your selected KOA location to determine which accommodation options they have available for group reservations. Not all locations have Deluxe Cabins, for example. Check on the specific amenities and features offered for the campsites before reserving.

Choosing a Location

Where will your group camp? Close to home? Near a larger event you plan to attend? By a major city or attraction? We offer locations throughout North America, so it's easy to find a location where your group wants to gather.

When choosing a location, consider first where members of the group live. Is there a central location that makes the camping trip more convenient for everyone? Do some of your participants need to stay closer to home? If you decide to RV camp, how far are you willing to pull your rigs?

Once you have those logistics questions answered, pull up a map to find a location that fits all of your needs. With our nearly 500 locations, there's likely a KOA where your group wants to camp.


The attractions in the surrounding area can make a big difference in where you choose to camp with your group. KOA Campgrounds offer you easy access to a number of attractions and different types of areas. A few of the options include: National Parks

Many KOA locations camp close to national parks. The campground setting continues the nature theme of the trip when you’re done touring for the day. If your group is the adventurous mountain hiking type, opt for a KOA location in the mountains.

Once you arrive, check for information on more local attractions. Our friendly staff in yellow shirts can help you find all the best activities in the surrounding area to round out your trip.
 Group Reservations 101

What to Know Before Reserving a Group Camping Site Not all campgrounds offering group sites are equal. Doing a little research and knowing what to look for ahead of time can save you headaches and make your group camping trip a huge success.

One of the biggest factors is the ability to accommodate a group of your size. Does the campground have the room to hold your group? Will they keep you together, or spread you throughout the campground? Is the campground clean with the amenities you want? Will you have enough room to cook and eat meals together? Do they have variety in the types of group campsites you can reserve?

Many of our campgrounds have the facilities to handle large groups, and we have the knowledge and friendly staff to provide you the group camping service you need with a smile.

Reserving Group Campsites at KOA

How do you go about making group reservations at a KOA Campground? Start by pinpointing the exact KOA location where you plan to stay. You can search on KOA.com by clicking on a particular state or searching for a location.

Click the Campground Details link on the selected location to get all the information about the specific accommodations and amenities offered at that KOA Campground. Look for a "Groups" link at the top of the page to find out about the specific group campsites and additional facilities.

Contact the KOA location directly to get more details on pricing and to determine if they have availability for a group your size on the selected dates. The friendly staff will help you make your reservations and provide you with more details on their specific reservation and cancellation policies and requirements.

What to Bring

You packing list depends largely on the type of group camping site you select. A tent camping site requires all the camping gear, while a Deluxe Cabin requires little more than your personal belongings. When packing for your trip, collaborate with your fellow group members to avoid a lot of duplicates. Many camping items can be shared within the larger group to save space when you pack.

Some things you may need include: Cooking Gear

Some of our campsites include gas grills, and Deluxe Cabins with kitchenettes feature some limited cooking options. Other campers may need to bring any other cooking gear you want to use.

Group Camping Safety

KOA Campgrounds offer a clean, safe place to host your group events, but you can do your part in keeping all of the campers in your group safe. Always follow the posted rules and regulations of the campground when setting up your campsites. Trust us - the rules are there to keep everyone safe, including you!

If your group includes children, set your own ground rules with them. Rules should cover things such as how far they can venture from the campsite, how often they need to check in and which activities they need adult supervision to do. Review things like hiking safety and campfire safety with them at the beginning of the trip to avoid injuries. Group Safety

Food safety is another issue when you're out in nature. Keep all perishable foods properly chilled, with raw foods staying separate from cooked food. Since you don't likely cook over a campfire often, it may take a little getting used to. Make sure food, particularly meat, reaches a safe internal temperature when you're cooking for your group.

When you're finished, clean up the area immediately, and dispose of things appropriately. This helps keep animals away from your campsite, and it keeps our campground clean.

KOA serves up plenty of activities - many of them physical. Always use proper protection, such as helmets when you bike. Don't overdo it. We know it's tempting to do everything, but pushing yourself too much physically can leave you exhausted or hurt.

Another helpful tip for potentially dangerous activities, such as water sports, swimming and hiking, is to take someone with you. Since you're camping with a group, you should have no shortage of companions no matter what activity you choose.

When traveling with a large group, it can be difficult to keep track of everyone. If you're camping with other families, each individual family can keep track of themselves. For a mixed group of friends, teammates or other situations with several individual campers, start by knowing exactly how many people are in your group. Have regular check-ins to ensure everyone is accounted for. You can even assign buddies to make the task of keeping track of everyone easier. It's also helpful to have a record of who is staying in each camping spot.

Tips for Group Camping Success

You're gathering a large group of your closest friends and family for a fun camping adventure. What could go wrong? When you reserve outdoor group campsites with KOA, we take a lot of the stress and worry out of the equation, but you can do your part to make the trip a raging success.
