Open Road Resorts (ORR), a leading outdoor hospitality company focused on owning and operating RV parks and campgrounds across the United States, announced today that it has acquired the Santa Fe KOA Journey in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The Santa Fe KOA Journey is the sixth park in the Open Road Resorts portfolio and first in New Mexico. ORR’s five other parks are located across Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, and Texas. The ORR team seeks to provide superior hospitality experiences by acquiring exceptional parks and investing in key enhancements (e.g., key amenities, infrastructure) to drive consumer satisfaction.
Chase Becker, Co-Founder of Open Road Resorts stated, “We are delighted to enter the Santa Fe
market with one of the premier RV parks in the Southwestern United States. Gerry and Carlissa
Hodges have done a wonderful job elevating this park into one of the highest rated campgrounds in
New Mexico and we look forward to building upon their legacy in the coming years.”
Jim Omstrom, Open Road Resorts Co-Founder commented, “the Santa Fe KOA Journey fits
squarely within Open Road Resorts goal of building a collection of parks that offer our guests a
consistent, high-quality, memorable experience at desirable destinations across the U.S. We see a
considerable opportunity to expand the footprint of the park in the coming years.”
Prior owners, Gerry and Carlissa Hodges said, “Jim and Chase were fantastic to work with during
the entire process of the purchase of our park. They work with high integrity, great communication,
and were always available to answer questions and talk through our concerns. They were
professional yet personable. The perfect combination. We highly recommend working with Open
Road Resorts.”
About Santa Fe KOA Journey
The Santa Fe KOA Journey offers the beauty of the surrounding Sangre de Cristo mountains with the
convenience of being less than 15 minutes from the heart of Santa Fe. The park is a clean, safe,
highly amenitized, family-friendly RV park and campground that is the perfect spot to slow down,
read a book, sit by the campfire, toast a marshmallow (or two) and just relax. It is also the perfect
base for adventure and exploration that Santa Fe and the surrounding areas offer — the Santa Fe
Plaza, San Miguel Mission, Palace of the Governors and Loretto Chapel, weekend festivals, Canyon
Road’s many shops, galleries and restaurants (with local spicy and flavorful cuisine), the Rio
Grande Gorge, and Museum Hill.
