We're transforming in 2025! The Campground Conference & Trade Show will be the place for stakeholders in the outdoor hospitality industry to see and be seen!
For 33 years the Mid-Atlantic Conference & Trade show has been open to EVERYONE in the outdoor hospitality industry, but the name did not reflect our welcoming spirit. We're always striving to make this a forward-thinking and exciting event, and The Campground Conference & Trade Show reflects that vibe.
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 2024 conference in Florida welcomed attendees from NJ, PA, KY, NE, WI, OR, TX, TN, NY, VA, OH, Puerto Rico...will you come "See and Be Seen" in 2025?
2025 Schedule TBA
We'll have a robust schedule of training and seminars, networking, trade show, and pre-event outing for Early bird arrivals.
We're taking proposals for event speakers and topics.

“Every year I come home with great new ideas and memories, invigorated for the coming season. Networking and socializing with other owners and managers who are in the same industry is invaluable to responsibly growing our camping community. It’s a refreshing change to go to a trade show with vendors who know and understand our industry. Lifelong friendships and business associations are built at conferences like ours.”

“Smart Industry Products has taken part in the MAC conference and expo since 2012. We have made invaluable connections with campgrounds who have become loyal customers. The vendors and campgrounds who attend the annual MAC conference and expo greatly benefit from this warm and inviting atmosphere. Educational sessions are enlightening and the networking very worthwhile.”
