The “RV Park/ Campground Owners and Managers Operations & Marketing Forum,” a private Facebook group, has surpassed 1,500 active members. Launched and curated by CampgroundViews.com owner and founder Mark Koep, the group allows outdoor destination owners, operators, and managers the opportunity to discuss the intricacies of their business in a safe and inviting environment.
Established to carry on the engagement, learning and camaraderie that happens at the annual trade shows the group has grown to provide a year-round forum for outdoor destination operations.
“Our entire purpose is to keep the amazing conversations that occur at the state, regional and national trade shows going year-round,” said Koep. “We focus our entire attention on helping to lift the awareness and knowledge of everyday owners, operators and managers so that they can in turn provide guests with a better outdoor experience.”
The group was originally established in 2017 and has steadily grown to contain members from the U.S. and nine other countries, including Canada, Australia, Mexico, India, and New Zealand.
“We get our reward from this group when the outdoor destinations implement ideas shared in the group and provide a better experience to their guests,” said Koep. “This raising of the tide will lift all the ships and allow our industry to continue the record-breaking growth.”
