RV resort marketing is essential to keeping your sites booked, your revenue consistent, and your guests coming back. In a world where more people than ever are embracing the RV lifestyle, standing out from the crowd takes more than just word-of-mouth.
Whether you’re managing a luxury RV resort with premium amenities or a no-frills park off the highway, smart marketing is your engine for growth and sustainability. Below, we break down effective strategies for RV resort marketing and how to implement them.
RV travel is booming, with 72 million Americans planning to take an RV trip over the course of 2025. RV resorts, parks, and private campgrounds are growing to meet this demand, which means guests have options. Effective RV resort marketing helps ensure your business:
Without a clear marketing plan, you risk losing visibility, missing out on peak booking windows, and leaving revenue on the table.
Your RV resort’s website is its digital front door. If it’s slow, outdated, or hard to navigate, travelers will move on in seconds. You don’t need a complicated site; you need a high-performing one that makes booking easy.
Make sure to:
As with all great marketing, your RV resort site should answer every question a guest might ask, before they ask it.
When RVers search for “RV resorts near me,” you want to be one of the first results they see. That’s where a key factor of RV resort marketing comes in: local SEO.
Here are some SEO-optimizing tips:
The easier you are to find in local search results, the more drive-by and last-minute bookings you can attract.
RV resort marketers know that a guest who stayed once is much more likely to return … if you stay in touch. Email marketing helps you not only win new bookings, but also (and more importantly) build long-term relationships and drive repeat visits.
Email marketing is one of the most cost-effective ways to drive revenue, especially during slower seasons.
Successful RV resort marketing requires consistent, relatable social media content that reflects your resort’s personality and builds connection with past and future guests. This engagement should extend into the off-season, so you can stay top of mind all year-round.

Cross-selling and upselling aren’t about nickel-and-diming guests. It’s about making their stay easier, more fun, or more comfortable. When it comes to your RV resort marketing strategy, make sure you shine a spotlight on your add-on campground amenities to increase revenue.
Consider these steps:
Make it easy for guests to say yes. Add-ons increase revenue and guest satisfaction at the same time. This is so important that it’s a key feature of online reservation systems like Campspot, which enables you to showcase add-ons during the booking flow. Campers can make these purchases before they even start packing, and you can both boost revenue while making inventory management easier as you know what to prepare ahead of time.
