KOA Campgrounds

KOA Campground in Orlando, FL

In case you don't know, KOA stands for Kampgrounds of America.  They were founded by Dave Drum in 1962.  He, according to wikipedia.org, got the idea for the KOA after one of the times he was walking along his property in Yellowstone River and noticing travelers heading to the Seattle World's Fair.  Basically, he saw a possible need and filled it, which as some of us know is the key to any successful business.  After 7 years after KOAs were founded, there were 262 KOA sites and now there are 470 KOA sites.
