The National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds held its annual convention last week in Raleigh, North Carolina. It was held after a one-year hiatus due to the pandemic.

RV Travel has posted a report on when transpired at the convention. Their findings are interesting, to say the least.

Those were among the major takeaways from ARVC’s four-day annual convention, held in Raleigh N.C. this past week after a one-year hiatus. Thronging the Raleigh Convention Center, a largely maskless 900 or so campground owners, vendors and prospective campground owners from around the country attended a series of workshops and panels on subjects ranging from reservation systems to workplace practices to profiling customers.
