RV Parks Gearing Up for Record Season

Gearing up for an anticipated record-setting RV season, private RV resorts and campgrounds across the U.S. are spending millions of dollars in capital improvement projects to upgrade facilities this year. The good news for RV vacationers comes from a recent survey of independent park operators conducted by the National Association of RV Parks & Campgrounds.

“The recession is temporary, and most campground and RV resort operators believe that it behooves them to move forward with their improvement plans if they want to remain competitive with other travel and tourism options,” said Linda Profaizer, president/CEO of the Colorado-based organization which represents 8,000 private parks across the nation. Profaizer was quoted in press releases on Wizbusiness.com and other travel-news websites.

Expecting the poor economy to spur heavy interest in economic RV travel, RV resort owners are adding miniature golf courses, skate parks, waterslides, Wi-Fi zones and other desirable and luxury conveniences to lure vacationers this summer. Pool renovations, bathroom and laundry facility upgrades, and road improvements also head the list of scheduled capital improvements at many resorts and campgrounds.

Spacious lots, first-class amenities, and a plethora of available activities have put RV resort vacationing on a par with luxury hotels, at a far more affordable cost, particularly for families. Add in the beauty of vacationing in the midst of nature and the convenience of never having to pack, unpack and tote your stuff around, and the appeal of RV vacationing only increases. With excellent RV prices available online at national sales leader RVT.com, it’s no wonder vacation-loving Americans are turning to RV ownership in record numbers.
