Virtual Town Hall to Address Spectrum Internet Shutdowns in RV Parks, Campgrounds

A “growing number of RV parks and campgrounds” across the United States are experiencing sudden internet shutdowns due to Spectrum Internet’s enforcement of a clause in their service agreements, according to a press release. To address this emerging issue, a virtual town hall will occur on Thursday, September 26, at noon EST (10:00 am MST).

This action threatens a vital amenity that guests depend on and disrupts the daily operations of businesses that rely on consistent high-speed internet access, the press release noted. In many areas, Spectrum is the only internet service provider available.

Organized by industry stakeholders, including campground advocate Mark Koep, the event will serve as a platform for discussions about the scope of the problem, possible solutions, and whether a coordinated response is needed. 

The meeting, open to campground and RV park owners and associations, aims to bring together key industry leaders to explore potential courses of action. The virtual town hall will allow campground and RV park operators to share their experiences and assess the internet service disruptions.

“While the organizers, including campground and RV park advocate Mark Koep, are facilitating the event, the conversation aims to bring together associations and industry leaders to determine a path forward,” the press release showed.

The event is expected to attract up to 150 participants, though spaces are limited on a first-come, first-served basis. The virtual meeting will be conducted via Google Meet, with a dial-in participation option. Campground and RV park owners, along with industry associations, are invited to participate in the discussion surrounding this urgent issue.

“We are facilitating this conversation to gather input and find solutions, but we are not seeking to lead the charge. Our goal is to act swiftly in the interest of the industry,” Koep explained.
