The fate of an 11-acre piece of property next to Camping World in Idaho Falls, Idaho, has now been determined.
A spokeswoman for Camping World has confirmed it officially entered a lease agreement for an expansion project at that location.
“Camping World of Idaho Falls will be expanding its renovation and collision service offering. In total, there will be eight additional service bays, including fiberglass repair and a full paint booth, additional room for customer drop-off and pick-up, added customer service, and added RV inventory space to support the growing market,” Chief Operating Officer Tamara Ward told EastIdahoNews.com.
The project is expected to get underway soon and is slated for completion before the end of the year.

Massive growth in the RV industry over the last year is what prompted the expansion project. The 2020 year-end total of RV shipments nationwide was 430,412 units, according to the RV Industry Association. In Idaho Falls, Regional Manager Mike Ball said he saw a 44 percent increase in sales throughout 2020 compared to the previous year and he attributed that surge to people’s increased interest in outdoor recreation due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
