KOA announces four new locations for 2025

Here’s what’s new at KOA for the 2025 season: four exciting additions—two entirely new campground builds, one rebranded gem, and an existing site refreshed under new ownership.

From the Black Hills of South Dakota to the shores of Lake Ontario, these campgrounds bring KOA’s signature comforts to regions both iconic and off-the-beaten-path.

Hill City/Needles Highway KOA Holiday (South Dakota)

Just minutes from Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorial is the brand-new Hill City/Needles Highway KOA Holiday. This campground is KOA franchisee Walt Hodgson’s second park in the region. The new camp opened May 1, 2025.

Nestled along the famous Needles Highway, every full-hookup RV site features a private KOA Patio^®. Deluxe cabins and premium tent sites promise comfort for non-RVers under soaring pines. Explore Custer State Park by day, then unwind by the pool or around the community fire ring by evening—KOA-style hospitality at its best.

Here’s where to book your stay at Hill City/Needles Highway KOA Holiday.

Manti-La Sal KOA Holiday (Utah)

In Mount Pleasant, Utah, real-estate investor Brent Crosby has taken the helm of the Manti-La Sal KOA Holiday. He hopes to bring fresh energy to the park and has a personal stake in this location because it’s the area where his grandmother grew up.

Located at the gateway to the Arapeen Trail System and Manti-La Sal National Forest, this existing KOA campground offers year-round stays in RV sites, cabins and tent sites amid 350+ miles of ATV/UTV trails. With new management comes renewed focus on community events, upgraded bathhouses and expanded family activities.

Zion National Park KOA Holiday (Utah)

This brand-new riverside retreat is just 12 miles from Zion’s entrance in Virgin, Utah. Zion National Park KOA Holiday is KOA’s first ground-up build in the canyon country. Owners Noah and Sydni Ferber have more than 50 years of family RV experience.

The Ferber family is excited to share the new KOA’s extra-wide 35-foot RV sites, deluxe cabins, and tent areas along the Virgin River. They hope to provide a perfect place for couples, families, and solo explorers. Hike, kayak or star-gaze by campfire, then recharge in KOA’s new pool, bathhouse and dog park.

Sterling/Lake Ontario KOA Holiday (New York)

Formerly Sterling Creek Campground, this family-owned site reopened May 9 for service through Oct 13, 2025. The campground is now known as Sterling/Lake Ontario KOA Holiday and has been renovated by Sherstin Lauman and April Lewis.

Only minutes from Fair Haven and Lake Ontario’s shoreline, the rebranded park blends local charm with KOA amenities—KOA Patios^®, deluxe cabins, pirate-ship playground and themed weekend fun. Future plans include lakeside walking trails, expanded cabin offerings and more family-friendly events.
