Care Camps Foundation Celebrates Major Milestone with KOA
BILLINGS, Mont. – Care Camps Foundation, a national non-profit dedicated to bringing the healing power of the outdoors to children living with cancer, is thrilled to announce a landmark achievement in partnership with Kampgrounds of America (KOA). Since its inception, KOA and campgrounds have raised over $20 million to support the mission of Care Camps Foundation, according to a release.
This contribution marks a significant milestone in the long-standing partnership between Care Camps Foundation and KOA, highlighting the enduring commitment of both organizations to making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families affected by cancer.
Care Camps Foundation was started by a caring group of KOA campground owners who began fundraising for pediatric oncology camps in 1984. Over the past four decades, this grassroot effort has grown into a substantial foundation funding over 120 camps across the United States and Canada.

The Dyrt: Although Campers Prefer Trucks, Most Own SUVs
PORTLAND, Ore. – The Dyrt, the No. 1 app for camping availability, photos and reviews, has found that 45% of campers identify trucks as the most ideal vehicle for camping. SUVs ranked second as the favorite of 29% of campers, and vans/minivans came in third with 20.3%.
These findings are part of The Dyrt’s 2024 Camping Report presented by The All-New Toyota Tacoma. Despite trucks being the most sought-after vehicle by campers, SUVs were the most common vehicles owned by campers. More than half of survey respondents (56%) said they owned SUVs, followed closely by trucks at 48.8%. Sedans were a distant third (19.3%).
“Pickup trucks were made for camping,” says The Dyrt CEO Kevin Long. “They offer an ideal combination of utility, practicality and functionality. Trucks can reach places other vehicles can’t, they provide storage space necessary for packing for a camping trip, and they’re so versatile — from a simple bed cap to a pop-up camper, trucks can become part of the campsite when you’re parked for the night.”
