KOA Launches Integration Between K2 KampSight® and Wild Energy’s Smart Utility Metering Platform

Sarasota, Florida – April 22, 2026 – Kampgrounds of America, Inc. (KOA) and Wild Energy today announced the launch of their integration between the K2 KampSight® reservation and operations platform and Wild Energy’s smart utility metering system. The integration was first introduced to KOA franchisees and stakeholders at the 2025 KOA Expo in Raleigh, North Carolina, and is now available for implementation.

This integration enables KOA campgrounds to capture remote electric readings for long-term guests directly within K2, eliminating the need for manual meter checks and improving operational efficiency.

K2 is KOA’s proprietary, enterprise-grade reservation and operations platform, supporting more than 500 locations across North America. By connecting Wild Energy’s metering system directly into K2, campground operators can manage reservations and utility usage within a single workflow.

“Our integration with K2 brings real-time meter data directly into the system KOA operators use every day,” said Mike Sorensen, CEO of Wild Energy. “This creates a more efficient process for managing long-term guest usage while reducing manual work at the property level.”

For KOA campgrounds using Wild Energy Smart Meters, meter readings now flow directly into K2 and align with reservations. This reduces administrative time, minimizes discrepancies, and provides clearer visibility into electricity usage for both staff and guests.

"This integration empowers campground owners and operators to optimize utility managment and operational efficiency, allowing them to focus more on guest experience," said KOA's Chief Information Officer, Brian Elmore. "Integrating Wild Energy with K2 creates the kind of innovation that shapes the future of the industry."

The integration is available now, and Wild Energy is actively onboarding KOA locations.

    Gaining Control of Water Infrastructure: How Metering Improves Leak Detection and Cost Recovery

    Water infrastructure is often one of the least visible systems in residential communities, commercial properties, and municipal networks. Pipes run underground, usage happens throughout the day, and most operators only see the impact when a monthly bill arrives.

    Limited visibility creates operational challenges. Small leaks can continue for long periods. Water usage patterns are difficult to understand. When properties rely on a single master meter, allocating costs fairly becomes complicated.

    More property owners and utilities are turning to modern water metering systems that provide detailed usage data and better operational control.
