The Kon-Tiki was opened in 1967 by former WWII veteran Bob Sonntag along with a group of investors. Prior to opening the Kon-Tiki Mr. Sonntag was a director of marketing for a pharmaceutical company. The 20' tall tiki was created to compete with other nearby state-run campgrounds. In 1979 the investors chose to sell the property in large part due to rising value of oceanfront property. At the time of the closing Mr. Sonntag says his campground hosted over one million guests.
