People who love road trips but don’t want to leave behind the comforts of their own home often turn to RV travel to get the best of both worlds. As an RV park owner or manager, it’s your job to figure out what potential customers are looking for and use that to attract more business. Check out these tips to make your RV park more attractive if you need some inspiration.
Make It Pet-Friendly
Many people consider their pets an essential part of their family and don’t often like leaving them behind while traveling. You can attract more guests to your RV park by welcoming pets and providing ways to make traveling with a pet easier for the owners. Install doggie fountains, a dog park, or have a designated potty zone with disposable bags for owners to clean up after their pets.
Offer Laundry Facilities
Unfortunately, most RV parks don’t offer laundry facilities. Not only do most guests prefer being able to do laundry while on the road, but it’s also a way for park owners to make a little extra money. Additionally, using machines with an app-based payment system will prevent the need to lug coins around or worry about theft.
Accommodate Digital Nomads
It’s becoming more common to meet people who work remotely and travel around the country. To make sure your business is attractive to these digital nomads, offer high-speed internet and a business center where guests can scan documents or borrow office supplies.
Include an Exercise Facility
Many people like to stay active while they travel, especially if they’re sitting in a vehicle for long periods. Being able to run around a track, use a treadmill, or work out on a ropes course after a long day can make a huge difference in guest satisfaction.
Add On-Site Accommodations
One of the best ways to make your RV park more attractive is to expand your customer base beyond those with RVs. Many people enjoy traveling but aren’t sure if they’re ready to commit to a big purchase like an RV, so being able to stay in a cabin or experience glamping in a yurt is important for scratching that itch to travel. Plus, if your guests see how awesome traveling in an RV can be, you may just convince them to get serious about purchasing their own rig.
RV travel is more popular than ever with the rise of work-from-home culture. Use these tips to maximize your park’s attractiveness and become the ideal travel destination.
