In 1970, 25¢ got you a pamphlet chocked-full of KOA campgrounds. In 2026, we still have our KOA Directory, guiding campers throughout North America. No need to send us a quarter, though - you can keep the change. 😉

Pick up a copy of the KOA Directory at any KOA campground, or find our digital copy here: http://koa.uberflip.com/i/1543262-koa-2026-directory-digital/0

Happy , campers!

This week, we're heading to the Hoosier State’s Land of 101 Lakes. This campground is a lakeside retreat, perfectly positioned off the longest road in the U.S. This is year-round camping at its finest, whether you're here to stay or just passing through.

The amenities list at this campground is long. Like, really long. We're talking four playgrounds, co****le, volleyball, and basketball. A pristine private sandy beach. A dock for fishing and boating. Even a fish cleaning station! You could easily spend your entire trip exploring what's available right onsite. And with hundreds of campsites to choose from, every type of camper finds their perfect spot. Pro tip: if you’re bringing your four-legged camper, be sure to check out this KOA’s Paw Pen Sites.

Need to venture off-property? The campground's namesake town is just 5 miles away. Plus, you're less than three hours from Chicago, Detroit, and Indianapolis, making this the ideal home base or convenient stopover for any road trip.

So... which KOA is this? Drop your best guess in the comments below! We'll reveal the answer tomorrow. Good luck!

Another national park?! Yes, you read that right. The Wonderland of Rocks has become the 64th national park in the U.S.

National parks stand as one of the United States' greatest treasures, preserving incredible natural beauty and delicate ecosystems for the benefit and enjoyment of the public. Now, we have another: Chiricahua National Park! Located in southeastern Arizo...

While KOAs offer a consistent basecamp across North America, the landscapes surrounding them are entirely unique. Take, for instance, our northernmost and southernmost campgrounds.

Up near the Arctic Circle, Fairbanks / Chena River KOA in North Pole, Alaska, sits right along the Chena River. It’s the ultimate basecamp for spotting moose and eagles, exploring the tundra, and witnessing the breathtaking Aurora Borealis.

Travel nearly 5,000 miles southeast, and you’ll trade the tundra for paradise at the Sugarloaf Key / Key West KOA Resort in the Florida Keys. Here, warm ocean waters, sunny beaches, and iguanas take center stage.

North, South, East, or West, from the pine trees to the palms, there's a KOA waiting for you. ☺️⛺️🌲🌴

It's time for , campers!

Combine prehistoric finds with all the benefits of modern camping at this week's KOA. Strategically located near Route 191, this campground is the perfect pit stop for Western road trippers.

The campground's variety of RV sites accommodates everyone, from the van lifers to the motorhome enthusiasts. Choose from pull-thru, back-in, or KOA Patio sites and spend less time setting up and more time relaxing. No RV? No problem. Stay in a ultra-comfy Deluxe Cabin or a classic tent site.

The area is known for its abundance of dino finds. Under 20 miles away is Dinosaur National Monument, where you can see over 1,500 fossils on exposed cliff face. Other state parks in the area provide boating and fishing with views of dinosaur tracks along the way. After you've channeled your inner paleontologist, camp is a welcome respite. Challenge your fellow campers to a game of horseshoes or giant jenga, cool off in the pool, or take in a movie under the stars.

The question is - what KOA are we talking about? Comment your best guess below! The answer will be revealed in tomorrow's comments.

Demolition is underway as older structures are cleared for a new Speedway convenience store and fuel station near Markle’s I-69 interchange.

The project involves 690 and 720 W. Logan Street, addresses previously associated with Daily Diner and Markle Tire & Truck Service.

Both properties changed hands on August 17, 2026. Huntington County Auditor records list RAJ Food Mart Inc. as the previous owner of 690 W. Logan and Chris A. Geiger as the previous owner of 720 W. Logan. Both parcels transferred by warranty deed to Agree Convenience No. 1 LLC, creating a combined 5.08-acre site.

The buyer is affiliated with Agree Realty, a national retail property owner and developer headquartered in Royal Oak, Michigan. Company filings connect the LLC to Agree Limited Partnership and Agree Realty Corporation.

Planning activity preceded the August transfers. A March 19 zoning hearing agenda listed Eric Carter, acting on behalf of RAJ Food Mart, requesting an additional ground sign and exceptions to sign height and size limits at both addresses.

The Speedway news has been confirmed independently by both Kim Hostetler of Huntington County Community Development and Steve Kimmel of the Huntington County Chamber of Commerce.

In correspondence with a local citizen, Hostetler identified several permits issued for 720 W. Logan:

• CS-2026-11: A 105-by-30-foot canopy, issued May 21, 2026.
• CS-2026-12: A 160-by-28-foot fuel canopy, issued May 21, 2026.
• CS-2026-13: A 50-by-104-foot Speedway convenience store—5,200 square feet—issued May 21, 2026.
• MP-2026-229: An electrical permit, issued September 30, 2026.

Speedway became part of 7-ELEVEN in 2021, when the company acquired approximately 3,800 Speedway stores from Marathon Petroleum.

An opening date has not yet been verified.

Thanks to James Garwood for this news tip and photo.
