RV Business

To identify its winners, Campspot first combed through more than 70,000 data points including bookings, reviews, and category-specific factors to identify a shortlist of nominees. They then asked the camping community to weigh in, inviting the public to vote on their favorite campgrounds in America and partnering with camping experts to score and select the winners in the remaining categories based on uniqueness, listing completion, and overall appeal.

“The 2023 Campspot Awards are a celebration of everything that makes the camping industry so awesome. They not only provide an important opportunity to recognize those campgrounds owners, operators, and staff who strive to provide special camping experiences to their guests, but they also serve as inspiration for the many travelers looking to book their spring and summer trips now,” said Erin Stender, CMO of Campspot. “We purposefully created new categories this year that make it easy to find the right spot for you, whether you’re already a full-timer, or just discovering the many options available to campers today.”
