If you’re an entrepreneur, legacy-builder, or steward of a family business who’s looking to maximize your campground investment without it eating up your time, then you’ve stumbled upon the right blog. Here at Campground Accounting, we’re not just about numbers. We’re about helping you breathe life into your campground ownership and turning it into a thriving, robust business.
Our secret sauce? Well, let’s just say it involves a lot of passion, a dash of progressive accounting perspective, and a pinch of RV enthusiasm. And today, we’re serving up a steaming plate of fresh ideas on how to attract the biggest demographic in the camping world – Millennials.
Now, before you roll your eyes and mutter “Not another millennial thing,” hear me out. Our very own Donna Bordeaux, the heart and soul of Campground Accounting, recently spent some time at Mount Desert Narrows Campground in Bar Harbor, Maine. And while she was there, she noticed something interesting.
There were people – Millennials and Gen Xers – exercising in front of their RVs. They were lifting weights, doing yoga, running… you name it. It was like a pop-up fitness festival. And that got Donna thinking. What if campgrounds could cater more to this fitness frenzy?
After all, recent studies show that Millennials make up 65 to 75 percent of many campgrounds now. And they’re not just there for the s’mores and campfire songs. They’re there to stay fit and have fun.
So, what’s the solution? Donna suggests making room for fitness activities in your campground. And no, we don’t mean stuffing a dusty treadmill and a rusty bike into a corner and calling it a day. We’re talking about creating a space with free weights, mirrors, treadmills, and elliptical trainers.
And if you don’t have the space? Don’t sweat it. You can partner with local gyms and yoga studios to provide day passes or classes for your guests. Not only will this attract more guests, but it also has some pretty sweet perks for you as an owner.
So, are you ready to press play on your bigger ideas and make your campground a millennial magnet? Then hop over to our website, CampgroundAccounting.com, and let’s get started. Because there’s more to taxes than being on time, and there’s definitely more to life than business. We promise you; it’s an opportunity, experience, and exploration you won’t want to miss. So, let’s get those Millennials moving and shaking at your campground!
