If you attended the ARVC Outdoor Hospitality Conference & Expo (OHCE) in Knoxville, Tenn. last year, you’ll very likely remember a very popular feature called “Paws for a Break” where conference attendees were able to take a break from their sessions to cuddle some adorable pups. They were provided by a local animal shelter, the Young-Williams Animal Center, and a few lucky ones even found their forever homes with ARVC members.

It is always nice when a RV park’s name fits what it offers. Nature’s Resort RV Park in Homosassa, Fla., is a perfect example of that, as any park that is renowned for its waterfront, complete with daily manatee and dolphin sightings, doesn’t need to overthink it. Customers know it is a place where fun abounds on the Gulf Coast and you can escape the hustle and bustle of central Florida.
It could be safely said that this year’s camping season was unlike any other in recent memory. Having to endure so many challenges presented by this year’s public health crisis required the owners and managers of ARVC member-parks to be prepared to turn on a dime to implement changes to policies and procedures as conditions warranted. If there are lessons to be learned from meeting these challenges, one of them is the power of being flexible.
