The outdoor hospitality industry is evolving, and campground operators have a major opportunity to capitalize on a groundbreaking new initiative. Outdoorsy, a leader in outdoor travel and RV rentals, has announced the launch of Outdoorsy Escapes–a seamless, book-and-go RV vacation experience designed to simplify trip planning while maximizing guest satisfaction.
Through an integration with Spot2Nite’s booking engine, which connects real-time campsite rates and availability from your existing property management system, this program bundles top-tier RV rentals with premier campgrounds and RV parks.
What does this mean for operators? More reservations, an expanded customer base, and increased revenue—without the traditional barriers of RV travel.
How Outdoorsy Escapes Boosts Reservation Revenue
1. Instant Access to a High-Intent Customer Base
Outdoorsy Escapes eliminates the complexity of RV travel and lowers the barrier to entry for guests by offering fully set-up, delivered travel trailer rentals at select campgrounds and RV parks. This hassle-free model attracts travelers who may have previously been deterred by the logistics of RV rentals, like hauling a big rig or navigating unfamiliar equipment. By listing on Spot2Nite, connected campgrounds can be seen and booked by Outdoorsy’s massive audience of adventure-ready travelers — a community that has logged over 7 million travel days through RV rentals available in cities across North America.
2. Increased Occupancy Without Operational Headaches
Because RVs in the Outdoorsy Escapes program are pre-delivered and set up at designated sites, campgrounds benefit from higher occupancy rates with less turnover stress. Each RV arrives fully equipped and ready for vacationers to enjoy immediately.
3. The Power of Bundling
Bundling an RV rental with a campsite in one transaction offers a simple and efficient booking process for guests, reducing the risk of site availability and equipment mismatches. This all-in-one reservation approach not only streamlines planning but also encourages more intentional, higher-value bookings. Guests who commit to a bundled package are typically more invested, which can lead to lower cancellation rates.
4. Expanding Market Reach with Younger, Tech-Savvy Travelers
A key goal of the Outdoorsy Escapes initiative is to introduce a new generation of travelers to the joys of RV camping. By partnering with Outdoorsy through Spot2Nite, campgrounds and RV parks can reach a growing audience of younger, digital-first adventurers who value a tech-enabled purchase experience. This demographic also travels most frequently, with 65% of Gen Z travelers reporting five or more trips per year (source: Outdoorsy Generations in the Wild 2024 Report). This initiative not only drives immediate revenue but also builds long-term brand loyalty among first-time and returning guests.
How does the Outdoorsy Escapes program work for guests?
Outdoorsy Escapes simplifies the guest journey in three easy steps:
1. Pick a Destination
Guests choose from curated campground locations with top-tier amenities for family fun.
2. Select an RV
Outdoorsy matches an available campsite with an available RV rental near the selected location and the guest books the bundle in one seamless transaction.
3. Arrive and Relax
The RV is delivered by an Outdoorsy host, fully set up, and ready for the guest upon arrival.

RV Park Onboarding
1. Review Terms of Service
All RV parks must review and agree to Spot2Nite’s terms of service within the Park Operator Dashboard, which includes an automatic opt-in to the Outdoorsy Escapes Program.
2. RV Park Information Transfer
Once an RV park is selected for a vacation package, an Outdoorsy Onboarding Specialist will guide the operator through onboarding. Most park details automatically sync via the Spot2Nite API, but a few additional details may need verification for accuracy.
3. RV Rental Supply Selection
Outdoorsy will then source high-quality RV rentals from their marketplace that match the RV park’s availability and site types. They will also coordinate with the RV park’s operations team to ensure smooth program implementation.
4. Live On Outdoorsy Escapes
The RV park will then be listed on the Outdoorsy Escapes marketplace, allowing guests to book vacation packages that bundle an RV rental with the park’s RV site inventory.
