Cody KOA Celebrates 60th Anniversary as KOA’s First Franchise

We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our journey – the 60th Anniversary of the Cody KOA Campground! Since its inception in 1964, Cody KOA has become an exceptional destination, offering outstanding amenities and unforgettable experiences for travelers and families.

Cody KOA holds a special place in our hearts as the very first KOA franchise in the country, founded on June 7, 1964. Acquired in 1995, this iconic campground has become a shining example of our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction.

What sets Cody KOA apart is our dedication to continual investment and improvement. From its early days, Cody KOA has transformed into a destination park in a high-demand area, offering deluxe RV sites (up to 100 ft), deluxe cabins, two swimming pools, activity-driven areas, and even gem mining.

Next summer, the campground will feature Paw Pen Sites, a first in our KOA system, offering private, fenced-in pet areas as part of the camping experience. Additionally, a pet playground with obstacles, a new facade to the main office building, and other upgrades will ensure that Cody KOA remains at the forefront of the outdoor hospitality industry.

Guests can immerse themselves in the local culture with easy access to historic attractions. For those seeking an iconic experience, Cody KOA proudly offers shuttle bus services to the Cody Rodeo, a true Western tradition. This campground is also fully equipped and ideally located for Prevosts, Airstream, retiree rallies, and more, making it a hub for travelers seeking adventure and relaxation.

Over the years, Cody KOA has hosted renowned figures like Carli Lloyd of the U.S. women’s national soccer team and the popular country band Lonestar.

As we celebrate this 60th Anniversary, we want to express our gratitude to KOA. We share a close-knit relationship built on mutual dedication to excellence and a “strive for greatness” approach. Their partnership is and always has been a win-win, resulting in the incredible longevity and success of the Cody KOA.

We would also like to thank all the guests who have chosen to stay with us over the years, making Cody KOA a true destination. We are incredibly grateful for the families who return year after year, making Cody KOA an annual tradition and a part of their cherished memories.

Cody KOA Campground is a jewel in our crown. Established in 1964, Cody KOA has evolved into a destination park offering deluxe amenities and unique experiences. The campground is located on the outskirts of Cody, Wyoming, offering proximity to the famous Cody Rodeo, Yellowstone National Park, the world-famous Buffalo
Bill Cody Museum, and numerous cultural events.

We invite you to join us in celebrating this milestone and creating new memories at Cody KOA!
