RVshare is excited to welcome our annual campground awards program, “The Campies” for its 2024 season. RVshare is dedicated to ensuring the best experience possible for renters, while also helping campgrounds around the country do the same. With a variety of submission categories, The Campies award recognition will allow campgrounds to not only highlight their commitment to excellence, but also lead travelers to book more confidently, matching them with what they value in an RV vacation, from the right features to valued amenities, and more. Plus, we have some exciting new categories this year like ‘RV Family Travel Content Creator of the Year’ and ‘Best RV and Camping Blog’.
Starting June 24th through August 2nd, 2024 RVshare welcomes all avid RV travelers, past renters, campground owners, and travel enthusiasts to nominate their favorite campgrounds in several categories. All categories and nomination forms for each can be found and submitted here.
What are The Campies?
Complementing the launch of RVshare’s Campground Partnership Program in 2022, RVshare announced the Campers’ Choice Awards aka “The Campies.” This annual awards program further weaves RVshare into the fabric of the RV and outdoor travel space, while more importantly giving much-deserved credit to many campgrounds and outdoor travel experts, enthusiasts, and creators across the United States in a number of categories.
Why is RVshare doing these awards?
RVshare is committed to ensuring the best experience possible for our renters and helping campgrounds around the country do the same. Winning a “Campie” allows campgrounds and content creators the opportunity to highlight their success and commitment to helping people make the best travel decisions. RVshare is opening the categories this year to include travel influencers to reward the creators who are oftentimes the key to successful travel planning. RVshare wants to cast a spotlight on the most beloved travel influencers and campgrounds to help renters book with confidence knowing they are getting the experiences, amenities, and features that are important to them, and heading towards the adventure of a lifetime.
