For RV and boat storage operators, providing camping and travel tips year round is a great way to engage your tenants in a meaningful, memorable way. Doing so leaves an imprint on tenants, reassuring them that you will go the extra mile for their comfort and convenience, beyond providing them with safe and secure storage. Building a bond of trust with tenants can earn you tenants for life; plus, it can increase the possibilities of your existing tenants referring your site to other potential tenants.
Toy Storage Nation often provides information for operators to share with their clients to reinforce their bond with tenants. This installment focuses on winter camping, specifically beautiful parks across the nation that are welcoming RVers to visit.
Send Them to Snow Country
Winter is the time when most campgrounds across the northern third of the U.S. shut down due to snow and subfreezing temperatures. But growing numbers of campgrounds are open in winter, both to accommodate travelers and winter recreation enthusiasts as well as people who are working from their RVs. Some parks offer extended-stay campsites for RVers in winter, while others offer a mix of RV sites with or without water.
Kampgrounds of America (KOA) has an online listing of its campgrounds open in winter, which we have listed below (and in a PDF file for you to share with tenants). Want more ideas? Visit GORVING.COM to see more than 50 campgrounds across the country that can also serve as base camps for winter guests.
