KCN Campgrounds

🌟 Leadership, Culture, and the Guest Experience: Building KCN's DNA 🌟 At KCN, our mission isn't just about running successful campgrounds—it’s about building a culture that empowers our team and creates unforgettable experiences for our guests. As our CEO, Kevin Thueson, so aptly puts it: "It all comes down to the team. My job isn’t to micromanage but to find the right people with the right mindset and motivation, provide them with tools, resources, and opportunities, and then get out of their way." This approach is our foundation for success. By treating our team with the same care and respect we expect them to show our guests, we foster a culture of excellence that trickles down to every interaction. We know it’s not easy. Maintaining a guest-first culture as we grow requires constant focus and reflection. It’s about ensuring that our values—like going above and beyond for every guest—are ingrained in every layer of our organization. 💡 Interested in being part of this journey?

It started with a campfire, a day full of adventure, and a big idea—turning a love for the outdoors into smart investments. That’s how KCN was born, and we’re here to share the journey. Curious about campground investing?

KCN Campgrounds is providing the kind of career adjustment my mind and soul needed. It is hard work, with plenty of challenging puzzles and opportunities to face daily. It is NOT boring. The most enjoyable part is building our team culture and witnessing others succeed. I am privileged to do it with some of the funniest, kindest, and stellar people I've ever worked with. We come from all different backgrounds and belief systems. We live all over the country. We are a mosaic of personalities and perspectives. Our Office is the outdoors. You simply can't beat it. We connect with nature and with each other daily. I'm #THANKFUL to be a part of this journey with my KCN Campgrounds team and for all we have experienced and accomplished this year. Here's to many more!! 🙏 🦃 ⛺ 🥾 🚲 🐕🦺 Kampgrounds of America, Inc. Kevin Thueson Nate Thompson Cam Bowen Kimberly Wootteon, CRME, CHDM Kristen Linde Metzdorf Ridgeline Ventures

A huge shoutout to KOA for hosting such an engaging and inspiring event—the energy, innovation, and community spirit were unmatched. We are thrilled to share that our efforts were recognized in a big way: ✨ Sweetwater KOA Holiday received the prestigious Peter Warrick / Wayne Morris Award for outstanding achievement and growth in support of Care Camps! This honor highlights the incredible impact of our team's dedication to making a difference. ✨ Sheridan / Big Horn Mountains KOA and Goodland KOA were honored with the KOA Icon Award for 2024, celebrating excellence and leadership within the KOA system. These awards are a testament to the hard work, passion, and commitment of our entire team. We are so proud of what we've achieved together and the positive influence our campgrounds have in their communities. Beyond the awards, the convention was an incredible opportunity to connect with fellow KOA owners and operators, share ideas, and build on the amazing momentum of this year. We left feeling inspired and ready to take on new challenges in 2025. Thank you to everyone who makes the KOA community so special, and here's to even more growth and success in the year ahead! #KOA #KOAConvention #Teamwork #Awards #OutdoorHospitality #CareCamps #Innovation
