Operators focus on RVs, luxury amenities for post-pandemic glampers
Private campground operators are upgrading sites and investing in amenities as high land costs and rising expenses put an emphasis on cash flow.
“When you have a good product, you can have a two-year waiting list and people are willing to pay $350, $400 a night. But those customers are all kind of one-time customers,” he said. “You do the experience once, and you may not ever do it again.” “There’s air conditioners running on RVs. People come and set up their ice machines and margarita mixers. They’re using their microwaves, there’s TVs running,” he said.
And neither is the consumer appetite, according to Joss Penny, executive director with the BC Lodging and Campgrounds Association, which represents 400 lodging operators, campgrounds and RV parks across the province. ERTCU Travel Group co-founder Kimo Linders, who organizes RV travel packages for international travellers, says bookings for 2023 are on track to surpass 2022 levels.
