How to Fund Your Glamping Expansion and Unlock Revenue
A megatrend in our industry is the emergence of “Glamping” which is defined in Wikipedia as “… a style of camping with amenities and, in some cases, resort-style services not usually associated with "traditional" camping. Glamping has become particularly popular with 21st-century tourists seeking the luxuries of hotel accommodation alongside "the escapism and adventure recreation of camping.” Consequently, a big trend in our industry is to install cabins and yurts to offer a “glamping” experience which also increases revenue.
RV Parks and Campgrounds Leading Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts
In the wake of Hurricane Helene, communities across the Carolinas and surrounding regions have been deeply impacted, especially those in the mountains and western parts of the state. But in true Outdoor Hospitality Industry spirit, RV parks and campgrounds have risen to the occasion, mobilizing resources and rallying support to help both their neighbors and fellow park owners recover from the devastation.

AHA! THE OHI Q3 ADVOCACY UPDATE
The third quarter has been both hectic and challenging, with some parks even facing devastation. It all kicked off in August at the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) Summit in Louisville, KY, where over 5,300 attendees gathered, including legislators, lobbyists, and government professionals from across the nation. OHI’s focus at the event was on promoting key legislative initiatives such as the Inherent Risk of Camping, Guest Ejection, and the adoption of NFPA 1194.
