In this episode of Outdoor Hospitality Weekly, we sit down with Garrett McKinnon to talk about the future of campground discovery, AI-powered trip planning, and evolving camper behavior.
Garrett shares how CampgroundViews has grown into one of the industry’s leading virtual tour and trip-planning platforms, helping campers explore parks before they book while giving operators new ways to market their properties.
The conversation dives into AI tools, virtual tours, midweek demand challenges, experiential travel, remote work trends, and how campground operators can create more compelling reasons for guests to travel and return. Garrett also shares insights from partnerships with RecPro and Campground Brokers of America, along with broader thoughts on where the outdoor hospitality industry is headed next.
