CampgroundViews.com is developing virtual tours of up to 250 campgrounds in Arizona to make trip planning easy for RV and tent campers, according to a press release.
The service is being made possible by a grant from the Arizona Office of Tourism’s Outdoor Recreation Revitalization Program, which helps tourism-dependent businesses and communities recover from the pandemic.
“We were happy to be able to support the efforts of CampgroundViews.com and other tourism businesses through the Visit Arizona Initiative Outdoor Recreation Revitalization Program,” said Debbie Johnson, director of the Arizona Office of Tourism. “Visitors are looking for camping and outdoor recreation opportunities more than ever this summer, and Arizona is a perfect destination for a getaway.”
CampgroundViews.com is committed to providing guests a comprehensive tool to find and book their ideal campsite and avoid surprises upon arrival. The company delivers this promise through its proprietary 360-degree virtual tours and searchable database.
“Campgroundviews.com was started because we recognized how difficult it can be to find the right campsite–no matter where you want to go,” said Mark Koep, founder and CEO of Campgroundviews.com.
Since kicking off the project, the company has completed 45 virtual tours of campgrounds across the state in the first week. Koep also said that they continue to expand the database every day.
“Campers who have used our virtual tours know what a transformational tool they are to help with their trip planning, and grant support from the Arizona Office of Tourism was a critical factor in us being able to bring these services to more visitors to the state,” he added.
A 2022 Camping Report by Kampgrounds of America (KOA) revealed that over 57 million households in the United States took camping trips in 2021 compared to 48 million in 2020 and 42 million in 2019. The overall increase in camping participation has strained the resources of campgrounds and RV parks. CampgroundViews.com’s virtual tours are a valuable tool to improve the camper experience while benefiting Arizona’s outdoor recreation destinations.
