Our Commitment to Our Members In the Outdoor Lodging Industry
RROLC is here for the professionals who serve or operate outdoor lodging businesses. We provide members with tools and programs such as advocacy support, industry education, insight on best practices and industry trends, and programs for networking and information sharing, of which members may use to strengthen or fortify their businesses.
We’re grateful to all members who read our email in July, and to Woodall’s Campground Magazine for spreading the message (click to read).
RROLC, New Yet Not
In 2024, members built us upon the 50+ year-old bedrock through which the state associations had been serving their members. RROLC now offers a more comprehensive suite of professional services and opens the doors to a larger territory.
Yet we remain focused on diverse businesses ranging from the more rustic campgrounds to the robust RV or Glamping resorts.
As our members looked into the future, they designed RROLC to better serve their needs. From the latter-generations of family-owned campgrounds to those owned by corporations, to even those who are seeking to enter the industry, you were considered and you matter.
Several of one state association’s actual co-founders are still actively engaged in their family businesses and in their state association. They take pleasure in the 55 years of history their families helped create for the industry in that state. We’re honored to have them among our co-founders. Click to read our press release.
Even our CEO & Executive Director has over 25 years in the industry, 10 of which were in the role of owner/operator. She’s enjoyed being involved in association management throughout life, with 20 years in this industry.

Outdoor Lodging businesses include campgrounds, RV parks, RV resorts, and those who offer cabin, onsite RVs, and any of a wide range of glamping options.
Professional services businesses include for-profit businesses which offer support programs, products, inventories, supplies, and tools to the outdoor lodging businesses. We offered tiered levels so your business can find the best bridge to the outdoor lodging members. (Our online application is not yet available, so please contact us if you’d like to apply manually.)
Prospective proprietors are those who are considering a new career as owners in this industry.
If your outdoor lodging business is outside this territory, you may join but we ask you to please first contact us to discuss viable options for your consideration.
TESTIMONIALS
As an operator in states that have and do not have state association representation, I’ve seen first-hand the benefits that a more grassroots association can provide, and similarly where outdoor lodging properties struggle without similar resources. We are excited to be a part of and to support a more regional effort to provide these types of benefits, and would encourage now eligible properties to explore RROLC to strengthen and fortify their business! ~ SF, Horizon Outdoor Hospitality
Being a part of RROLC allows us to network and communicate with others in the industry, including other park owners and operators & industry suppliers. RROLC helps us gain knowledge providing us with a pool of online resources readily available when we need it. ~ TB, Elkhorn Ridge Resort
The RROLC team was instrumental in helping me acquire my first park. The ongoing advocacy is critical as legislatures confuse tourist-based RV Parks with mobile home parks. ~ ED, Riverwood Resort on the Gunnison
I have felt welcomed from the start, even though I don’t yet own a park. ~ JA, Prospective Proprietor
RROLC holds special regard for the comradery between owners, managers and the industry suppliers. For the businesses in their territory, RROLC has created a path to the future which keeps fellowship and collaboration above all else. I’m excited to be a part of this new organization. ~ MA, Leavitt Recreation & Hospitality Insurance
