Campground Views, an online platform that connects campers with campgrounds, launched more than 3,350 virtual tours across North America and Alaska.
This expansion significantly enhances the experience for outdoor enthusiasts, allowing them to virtually explore campgrounds before booking. The relaunch of the platform also includes an updated website and mobile app, designed to make it easier for users to find and plan their outdoor adventures.
The new virtual tours provide users with a closer look at campgrounds, RV parks, dump stations, and free camping sites, making it easier to select the best location for their needs.
By offering these tools, Campground Views aims to improve the camping experience and streamline the planning process.
The platform’s expanded offerings will allow campers to explore destinations without leaving home, which is especially valuable for those planning trips during peak seasons.
“Our mission has always been to make camping accessible and enjoyable for everyone,” Mark Koep, CEO of CampgroundViews.com, said. “With the relaunch of our website and apps, we’ve taken a significant step forward in providing a comprehensive and user-friendly platform.”
“The addition of virtual tours and trip planning tools empowers campers to make informed decisions and enhances their overall camping experience,” he added.
The relaunch has already led to a notable increase in traffic, with website visits up by 120% year-over-year. This surge demonstrates the growing demand for reliable, user-friendly resources to help campers plan their trips.
The platform’s improved features cater to both seasoned campers and newcomers looking for efficient ways to explore campgrounds.
Campground owners also stand to benefit from the enhanced platform. By claiming their listings on Campground Views, owners can update their park’s information, upload photos, and engage with a broader audience.
Koep emphasized the importance of campground owners taking an active role in managing their listings to improve visibility and attract more visitors.
“Owners who actively manage their listings will enjoy better placements and additional benefits, helping them grow their businesses,” he said.
The relaunch aims to create a win-win scenario for both campers and campground owners. For campers, the platform offers valuable resources to enhance their trip planning, while for owners, it provides tools to improve visibility and connect with a larger audience.
One of the key features of the updated website is its ability to quickly filter results based on specific needs.
Whether users are looking for campgrounds with specific amenities, proximity to popular outdoor destinations, or even free camping options, the platform’s search options make it easy to narrow down choices.
