Staying at the Billings KOA Holiday – The World’s First KOA!

Did you know that the very world’s first KOA (Kampground of America) was founded in Billings, Montana in 1962? While it might be the OG, that doesn’t mean it hasn’t kept up with the expectations of a modern campground in 2023.

Amenities

The Billings KOA Holiday is the perfect destination for families. We spent hours playing mini-golf, swimming, playing in the playground, walking along the river, and letting Toby and Nevar run around in the huge Kamp K9 play area.

Wi-Fi Speed Test

From our site in #4, we ran a quick speed test and found that we had very reliable wi-fi out our site.

Camp Site Review

We have stayed in RV sites #4 and #37.

Site #4 is a long full-hook up pull thru that has a great KOA Patio, fire pit, picnic table, mature trees, cable, strong Wi-Fi, and large grassy areas. What I did discover while sitting in the RV typing this blog is that everyone and their dog, literally there was almost always a dog, use a paved path that runs between site #4 and site #5 to get to the nearby restrooms and Kamp K9. For that reason, I don’t recommend site #4.

Site #37 is pull-thru with water and 30 amp, but no sewer. The location is great with a large patio and mature trees.

Accessibility

The Billings Holiday KOA is very family friendly and highly accessible for those with mobility issues.

Family Fun

Whether you are just passing through on a longer journey or looking for a nearby staycation, visiting the world’s first KOA in Billings, Montana is fun for the whole family.
