Most modern campers are looking for upgraded amenity packages, and are willing to pay more for an engaging onsite experience. Proper amenity areas built out for families with young children alongside separate adult-centric spaces\/activities, have become commonplace in amenity trends throughout 2024. As my mentor Kathleen Walsh has shared for the past 20 years; &#8220;amenities drive both occupancy and rate&#8221;. Ensuring that the amenities onsite target the industry&#8217;s most prominent demographic is the key to this. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><b><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-3054 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/rvparkiq.com\/industry-insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/outdoor_group.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"124\" height=\"124\" style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\/>About Outdoor Hospitality Group<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #94c75e;\"><a style=\"color: #94c75e;\" href=\"https:\/\/outdoorhospitalitygroup.biz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Outdoor Hospitality Group<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"> was established by Kathleen Walsh after successfully developing and managing outdoor resorts across the US for nearly two decades.
