The KOA Campground App Simplifies Motorcycle Camping

Motorcycle camping isn't for everyone but for some, there's nothing better. KOA has made it easy to appease both stances and the gray area in between by providing a variety of options to suit. From open sites to enclosed cabins, fire pits to local restaurants, water wells to hot showers, KOA averages the mean by catering to any guest's comfort level. For riders who prefer predictable amenities, koa campgrounds offer a reliable baseline no matter the region.

Camping by motorbike isn't as easy as riding to a state park, claiming a site and setting up shop. Oftentimes, you must purchase a license that only applies to whatever state you're in. This isn't beneficial if you're traveling cross-country. Not only is it less cost-effective, park patrols require you to place a sticker in plain view. Imagine ten or more stickers on your motorcycle's chassis. Now imagine removing them and clearing the adhesive! For simplicity, koa campgrounds remove the guesswork with consistent booking and clear policies.

In digital form, KOA's 485+ commercial campgrounds are accessible through its mobile app. We put this interface to the test and dubbed it useful along our route between Belgrade and Miles City. While Travis Burleson and I are both wilderness-competent, KOA proved itself a valuable fallback.

When plans shift late in the day, koa campgrounds are easy to find and book on short notice.

You can populate KOA's mobile app search results through direct input or GPS location and view them in a map or list format. You can filter and sort the very same results by site type and available amenities. Once you select a potential booking, the app presents the option to map your route directly to a campground's location.

This makes it painless to compare koa campgrounds along a multi-day ride.

Membership rewards, sporting the "Value Kard" moniker, are easily accessible. The built-in card view shows traveler perks as well, including AAA, insurance information, whatever you choose. For the price, this efficiently suits regular/frugal customers on longer motorcycle trips.

Service details, photos and contact information are all readily available at the tap of a screen but why bother when you can make a reservation directly via the "Book Now" button? A reservation history pane also makes it easy to book again in the future. All in all, this app is perfect for regularly traveled routes where a rider's tolerance may vary night by night!
