The Campground Conference & Trade Show is the place for stakeholders in the outdoor hospitality industry to SEE AND BE SEEN!
Previously known as the Mid-Atlantic Conference & Trade Show, this event has warmly welcomed EVERYONE in the outdoor hospitality industry for 34 years.
Each year, the conference is planned for campground owners/operators and staff. One of the key takeaways, in addition to important education and networking, is that you can just have FUN away from the pressures of running your business, surrounded by people who have the same challenges and goals for running a successful campground operation. We encourage ANYONE with a stake in the outdoor hospitality industry - campground owners/operators, managers, and staff, as well as industry supplies - to be there for your enjoyment, education, and the support of the industry.
During the conference you will be able to network with peers and learn skills that are essential to making your campground successful. We are planning to offer 9 educational seminars with speakers experienced in their fields presenting timely topics both motivational and relevant to the outdoor hospitality industry.
The trade show gives campground operators access to the newest products and best services specifically targeted to RV parks and campgrounds. Our trade show keeps you connected to the campground industry.
The 2025 conference in Lake Buena Vista, Florida welcomed attendees from NJ, AL, FL, IL, MA, MD, NM, NY, NV, OH, PA, VA, WY...will you come "See and Be Seen" in 2026?
2026 Schedule TBD. Conference is typically held in the first quarter of the year (Feb or Mar), and is 2.5 days of educational programming, trade show, networking, and off-site excursions.

We work closely with the local tourism bureau to organize an off-site excursion and provide discounted ticketing to local attractions and activities. The 2025 event was held in the greater Orlando, Florida area. Our thanks to Visit Orlando for their assistance in hosting our attendees!
“I look forward to the Campground Conference every year to see old friends and to make new friends in our camping industry. It’s a fun time in the “Sunshine State” to learn new ideas about our industry from the great seminars and networking to the trade show with vendor products that are very useful in managing a successful campground. It also gives myself and my employees a chance to take a few days off before the conference to enjoy the Orlando area. Fun is had by all!”

“I feel that the time and money spent to go to the Mid Atlantic meeting is one of the best investments that, as a park owner or operator, you can do for your business. The classes are top notch, and the networking is priceless.”

“ As an exhibitor and a speaker at the Campground Conference (formerly the Mid-Atlantic Conference) I had an incredibly positive experience that exceeded my expectations. The event is always well-organized, with a strong focus on creating an engaging environment for both exhibitors and attendees. The event's high energy schedule was packed with meaningful sessions and activities. We had many numerous quality interactions with customers and potential customers many of whom were genuinely interested in finding innovative solutions for their campground businesses.
Overall, the Conference provided tremendous value for our business. The exposure, connections, and insights gained were invaluable, and we're participating again at the next one!”

It’s already shown to have helped me reach a new audience who could benefit from my services. A rapidly growing show with an enthusiastic set of attendees, the value of participating was immeasurable – and you cannot beat the location!”
