RVC Outdoor Destinations Offers Experience Like No Other

New Outdoor Experience is Like a Full-Service Hotel – Without the Hotel

MEMPHIS, TN – Start with beautiful natural outdoor environments that include mountain, wooded, lake-side and ocean-side locales. Add services and amenities generally associated with full-service hotels and you have the genesis for the ultimate outdoor experience that is RVC Outdoor Destinations.  

Whether you arrive in an RV, an SUV, a sports car or a bicycle, RVC Outdoor Destinations offers you a uniquely outstanding outdoor experience. Each destination offers multiple RV hookups and buddy sites, but that is where the similarity to traditional RV parks and cabin/cottage rentals ends. 

RVC Outdoor Destinations feature cottages, Yurts and classic Airstream trailers for rent, and most destinations are on the water and offer water views. 

Destinations include concierge service, a comfortable lobby, convenience stores, grab-and-go food, fitness centers, game rooms, saline swimming pools, free WiFi and cable, coffee and wine bars, boat launch and slips, golf cart rentals, fishing, bark parks, nature trails, horseshoe and bocce ball courts, fire pits, grills and picnic tables all located in thoughtfully landscaped environments. 

“Through our locations and breadth of service offerings, we have positioned our properties as the ultimate in outdoor lodging destinations,” said Yale Spina, Vice President of Operations for RVC Outdoor Destinations. “Whether you’re an experienced RV’er, a veteran outdoorsman or have only experienced the call of the wild via the Discovery Channel, you will have a distinct and enjoyable outdoor experience.” 

“They’ve taken the fun out of flying, and so many outdoor properties do not offer modern amenities,” said Spina. “So we’ve created an enjoyable destination where you can bring your pet and enjoy the outdoors in a well-designed environment with premium amenities, exceptional service and pleasant accommodations.”  

RVC Outdoor Destinations are open and accepting reservations in Pine Mountain, GA (just outside Callaway Gardens), Carrabelle Beach and Carrabelle Boat Club (along the coast, just south of Tallahassee). Catherine’s Landing in Hot Springs, AR, and Live Oak Landing in Freeport, FL (on Choctawatchee Bay in Walton County) are scheduled to open late summer 2010.  

About RVC Outdoor Destinations: RVC Outdoor Destinations owns and operates a unique recreation brand, offering a better outdoor vacation experience, with service and amenities similar to a full-service hotel, scaled to fit in a natural outdoor environment. RVC Outdoor Destinations has locations throughout the Southeastern United States.   For more information visit www.rvcoutdoors.com

New Website Finds Campsites Nationwide

With RVers using laptops, navigation and smart phones like the iPhone, an in-depth database driven site like this is a great idea. Their iPhone app is in beta testing and will be released soon. Now if only Wallmart would do an app to locate their stores! 

A new website portal has been created that provides consumers with an unprecedented ability to quickly find privately owned and operated campgrounds, RV parks and resorts as well as government run campgrounds across the country.

The easy-to-use website, AccessCamping.com, also includes an iPhone application. 

“There has never been a website like this before,” said Brian Schaeffer, president and CEO of Texas Advertising, which developed the website portal.

“Just click on a state on our U.S. map and AccessCamping.com will provide you with links to websites with listings of either privately owned and operated campgrounds or government-run campgrounds, depending on your selection.”

Deb Carter, exective director of the Maryland Campground Owners Association put it this way: “Many words come to mind regarding your new website - but WOW seems to be the most appropriate! You've built a site that's easy to understand, intuitive to navigate, includes tons of information and is pleasing to the eye with clear graphics, inviting text and beautiful photos. 

"Being admittedly biased, I checked the Maryland information first and it's fantastic. When I click Maryland on the U.S. map, I go straight to our state page and can easily stay there and browse. It's full of great information, with a link to our own state website. It's clear that the entire website focuses on pampering the camper - helping them find the perfect spot for their home away from home. Nicely done!” 

AccessCamping.com also includes links to online databases of the major campground industry directories, including those provided by the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds, the Trailer Life and Woodall’s North American Campground Directories, as well as the websites of campground chains, such as Kampgrounds of America Inc. (KOA) and Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts. 

Schaeffer said the portal is needed because most websites have limited campground listings. “The government run websites, for the most part, list only government run parks while the websites for campground industry associations typically limit their listings to parks that are members of their associations. As a result,” he said, “most websites only give the camping consumer a partial view of what’s out there in terms of potential camping venues.” 

“Finally, a national camping website that gets the camper where he really wants to go,” said Rick Abare, executive director of the Maine Campground Owners Association and current president of Campground Association Management Professionals.
