1. 11 Campground Essentials for Attracting Adventure- Seeking Campers Campers are a varied bunch. There are your sightseers, your #Influencers, your family groups, and your relaxed road trippers. But today, we’re talking about the thrill-seeking, adventurous types. Whether they’re hiking, water rafting, or mountain biking, adventure-hungry campers can be big business for any campground, especially if your campground is located in an extreme sports hotspot. The question is, are you giving these adventurous travelers what they need to book with you? All of these activities have one thing in common: they require the right equipment. For adventure-hungry tourists, traveling light is easier said than done. By the time they’ve packed the necessities for camping, there isn’t much room left in the car or RV for their gear. That’s why many active campers prefer to stay at locations that provide easy access to the gear they need without the hassle of lugging it halfway across the country. So if your campground is located near the mountains, sea, or other adventurous locations, here are the 11 essential items that are sure to attract the adventure-hungry tourist to your site!

Stand-up Paddleboards As a highly popular water-based activity, stand-up paddleboards are sure to be snatched up quickly by adventure-hungry campers. If your campground is located near calm waters, stand-up paddleboards are essential for attracting travelers who love to try something new.
