RVC Outdoor Destinations recently marked the industry pioneer’s 16th anniversary and celebrated years of unparalleled success in outdoor hospitality, standing as a testament to enduring leadership in an increasingly competitive landscape.
As the most active developer and leading provider of high-quality outdoor accommodations in the United States, RVC continues to pioneer the evolution of the industry with its innovative approach and strategic expansion. RVC continues to focus on the highest quality segment of outdoor hospitality.
As it adds to its best in class portfolio, RVC is unveiling the first phase of an ambitious project in Sandusky, Ohio: a 322-site resort slated to open in May, 2024. Located within one of the Midwest’s most dynamic tourism and lifestyle markets just minutes from the vibrant shores of Lake Erie, the Sandusky RV Resort is Ohio’s newest high-quality RV Resort and is poised to become one of the country’s premier RV destinations. This latest development exemplifies RVC’s dedication to offering guests unparalleled experiences through thoughtfully located and exquisitely designed resorts within vibrant tourism and lifestyle markets.
“RVC Outdoor Destinations is operating and developing unique outdoor resorts that resonate with our guests,” said Andy Cates, Founder and CEO of RVC Outdoor Destinations. He added, “Our brand is a beacon for those seeking unparalleled outdoor hospitality. We’ve seen strong long-term growth organically, by elevating and aggressively operating our existing best-in-class portfolio, and externally, through development, strategic acquisitions, and partnerships with existing owners. We are expanding our efforts to acquire and redevelop existing properties as well as selectively developing new resorts. Our competitive advantages include having capital in place as well as over 16 years of operational and development experience along with our proprietary data we utilize to drive our decisions.”
As more and more Americans seek the beauty and tranquility of the outdoors by taking memorable road trips, engaging in camping adventures, and spending quality time with family and friends, RVC Outdoor Destinations is at the forefront of facilitating these experiences by allowing their guests to camp on their own terms within unique environments. With a growing portfolio of meticulously designed resorts, RVC is dedicated to welcoming all travelers and providing them with the best that the great outdoors has to offer. “As we continue to expand and evolve, we are committed to ensure every guest discovers the joys of nature with the comfort and quality RVC is known for,” RVC President Lloyd Lauland said. Lauland, a forty-year hospitality veteran who has deep experience in both the hotel and outdoor hospitality sector has been with RVC for over six years and has led RVC’s efforts to improve efficiency, maximize guest experience, and elevate the RVC brand.
Over the last few years, the outdoor hospitality sector has seen a surge of interest from various private real estate investment groups and financial firms. RVC Outdoor Destinations continues to stand apart and remains focused on the long-term while building its strong foundation. “As many investors and developers join the outdoor hospitality party, we have to remind folks that we are a ‘16-year overnight success,’ and this isn’t our first rodeo,” Cates said. “It’s a testament to our team’s dedication. We’re setting the standard for the industry, ensuring that our growth is always driven by the value we bring to every adventure.”
“RVC continues to selectively develop in this difficult cost environment even as we are now allocating more energy to acquisitions, including redevelopment projects. We’re committed to being as creative as we need to be to find the right opportunities,” said Matt Uselton, Executive Vice President of RVC. Building on this foundation, RVC has ambitious plans for growth. A seasoned leadership team drives RVC’s vision and strategic direction. This Memphis-based team includes Founder and CEO Andy Cates, President Lloyd Lauland, Executive Vice President Matt Uselton, and Corporate Controller Mary Jean Campchiaro. This team’s collective expertise fuels RVC’s mission to expand its portfolio through aggressive acquisitions, joint ventures, and the development of new resorts, all while strengthening brand recognition and value for long-term success.
With a strategy grounded in enhancing guest experiences and thoughtfully expanding its portfolio, RVC is poised to meet the increasing demand for premium outdoor experiences now and in the future.
