Industry education offered by experts in outdoor hospitality can go a long way toward helping you guide your park toward becoming even more successful for the long term. To help you achieve this goal, view this update on the many educational opportunities ARVC is offering in 2021.

As ARVC’s website designed to serve consumers, GoCampingAmerica.com is one of the largest campground databases available online. Each year, it helps one million campers find their next adventure, including great parks to stay at and the activities and amenities that will be available to them when they get there. As an ARVC member, your listing on GoCampingAmerica.com is complimentary, so here are three things can do to make the most of this valuable resource:

The new GoCampingAmerica.com app is available to help the more than 25 million American campers on the go search for RV parks and campgrounds around the country. Campers can find their next adventure from anywhere once the app is downloaded, designed to be utilized on mobile phones and other handheld mobile devices.

Those who registered for the virtual OHCE2020 receive access for free, while those who missed out can purchase access to the recordings starting Mon., Nov. 23. Access to the OHCE2020 recordings costs $299 for ARVC members and $999 for non-members. ARVC will kick off sales of the recordings with a 10% off Campfire Sale that will run from Tue., Nov. 24 through 11:59pm MT on Mon., Nov. 30. Those interested can purchase access to the recordings through the ARVC Store.

If you registered for ARVC’s virtual Outdoor Hospitality Conference & Expo (OHCE2020) on November 2-5, you had access to a wealth of knowledge through more than 25 educational sessions along with Takeaway Tours of ARVC member-parks, the popular Reservations Systems Panel, the informative general sessions and the inspirational keynote address by bestselling author Gretchen Rubin on how to be resilient in the age of COVID. (If you didn’t register for OHCE2020, you can still benefit from these resources. More about that later.)

The 2020 Outdoor Hospitality Conference and Expo (OHCE) was moved to a virtual event, but that didn’t stop the event from remaining one of the premier attractions on the outdoor industry calendar. The virtual OHCE2020 attracted attendees from more campgrounds than last year’s OHCE2019 in Knoxville, Tenn., which set a modern attendance record for the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds’ (ARVC) annual conference. 

The National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC) and Marshall & Sterling, which includes a Campground and RV Park Insurance Program that offers business insurance solutions combined with proactive risk management, have officially entered into a Select Partnership. ARVC and Marshall & Sterling will be working together to provide extended benefits to ARVC members and increase Marshall & Sterling’s brand visibility throughout the year within the outdoor hospitality industry.  

It is always nice when a RV park’s name fits what it offers. Nature’s Resort RV Park in Homosassa, Fla., is a perfect example of that, as any park that is renowned for its waterfront, complete with daily manatee and dolphin sightings, doesn’t need to overthink it. Customers know it is a place where fun abounds on the Gulf Coast and you can escape the hustle and bustle of central Florida.

Time is running out to register for the virtual 2020 Outdoor Hospitality Conference and Expo (OHCE) hosted by the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds’ (ARVC). The deadline to register is October 28. 

In order to assist RV park and campground owners and operators in their search for the best reservation system for their park, the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC) is bringing back the wildly popular interactive Reservation Systems Panel during this fall’s Outdoor Hospitality Conference & Expo (OHCE). This panel will give attendees a chance to engage directly with seven of the premier companies to gain a better understanding of the products and services each offer.
