The Carolinas Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (CARVC) announced the 2026 CARVC Conference & Expo will take place Sunday, Feb. 1 through Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2026, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This year’s theme, “Keep the Campfires Burning: Rekindling Passion, Profit, and Purpose in Outdoor Recreation,” promises to inspire campground and RV park professionals from across the Southeast, CARVC said in a release.
For the first time, CARVC is expanding its reach beyond the Carolinas with a new marketing campaign that welcomes campground and RV park owners from Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia to join in. With over 2,200 verified campgrounds and RV operators across the Southeast, and through strategic messaging delivered via e-mail, social and digital channels, CARVC said this initiative is poised to drive record-breaking attendance and elevate its impact to new heights.
For vendors and partners, this means greater visibility, stronger engagement and opportunities to connect with qualified decision-makers who are actively investing in growth and innovation.
“This is more than just a conference,” said Dee Witting, executive director of CARVC. “It’s a chance for park owners, operators and vendors to come together, share ideas, and spark growth in an industry that continues to thrive. More parks. More people. More possibilities.”
