Drawing from new AAA travel data, KOA research, and firsthand operational experience, he breaks down the mixed signals campground operators are seeing across the industry—from softer RV sales and shorter booking windows to strong demand for local, experience-driven travel. The episode explores how camping behavior is evolving, why occupancy alone no longer tells the full story, and how parks are adapting through long-term stays, hyper-local marketing, and experience-focused hospitality strategies.
