OHI is pleased to announce the winners of the 2023 Awards of Excellence, recognizing the “best of the best” in the outdoor hospitality industry. 

The Awards of Excellence are peer-reviewed and judged, and these winners are industry treasures—constantly elevating standards through innovative, forward-thinking practices. 

Winners were announced at a special Awards of Excellence Luncheon at noon CST, Wednesday, November 8, in Kansas City, MO. The luncheon was sponsored by Woodalls Campground Magazine.

The National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC) is proud to announce a rebrand which includes renaming the organization to OHI, further solidifying the organization’s role as the leader in advancing the outdoor hospitality industry.

The rebranding was announced this morning in a special presentation at the organization’s annual conference, the Outdoor Hospitality Conference and Expo (OHCE), held in Kansas City, MO this year (Nov. 6-9, 2023).

National ARVC is excited to highlight the unique opportunities attending OHCE2023 presents for you and your business. This is more than just a conference; it's your chance to realize the power of face-to-face interactions, a vital cornerstone of professional and personal advancement. You will leave with a renewed sense of community—relationships that will continue to grow well after the conference ends. 

National ARVC is proud to announce the release of the highly anticipated 2023 Outdoor Hospitality Industry Benchmarking Report, an in-depth look at the current state of park operations across the US. This report provides valuable insights into the outdoor hospitality industry, offering in-depth analysis that will be an important tool for parks looking to gain a competitive advantage. It’s not just a collection of statistics but a narrative of the industry's pulse. 

National ARVC is excited to announce the newest and one of the most electrifying features of OHCE2023. The hurdles of hunting for lenders and securing loans are no longer, with the innovative financing program specially designed for Hosted Buyer attendees at OHCE2023.  

Historically, two significant obstacles have stood in the way of Hosted Buyers making substantial purchases at OHCE:
1.    Loan approval time and the delay in securing loans.
2.    The time-consuming process of sourcing lenders for each individual purchase.

With the Outdoor Hospitality Conference and Expo just around the corner, all of us at PlainsCraft Covered Wagons are excited to welcome you to Kansas City. If you’ve never been to this beautiful city before, we’re here to tell you it’s a city that’s bursting with energy. If the Kansas City ARVC event is your first time visiting, we want to make sure you have an unforgettable time.
