Month: June 2025

This Saturday, June 14, is National Go RVing Day — a day to celebrate the fun, freedom and adventure of RVing — and the RV industry’s Go RVing campaign reminds dealers, campgrounds and other RV-related businesses that it has a wealth of resources to help businesses get the word out.

“We created this day for the industry to use it as a hook to run a promotion for their dealership or campground or brand, to drum up sales and interest,” explained Monika Geraci, RVIA senior director, public relations and communications. “It’s a way to say, ‘It’s National Go RVing Day this Saturday, come check the cool things I have at my campground or the cool things at my dealership.’”

This is year marks the fourth annual National Go RVing Day (held annually the second Saturday in June) and Geraci said momentum continues to build for the event each year. It’s a particularly good campaign to spread via social media, she added.

Specific Go RVing resources available to RV businesses include a National Go RVing Day logo, social media graphics (for use on Facebook, Instagram and X), draft social media copy, a draft blog/newsletter article, and a draft media pitch template that can be sent to media outlets in advance of Go RVing Day. These resources — which can be used as-is or customized to particular audiences — are available by clicking on this link.

The toolkit ties in with the Just Beyond Your Door campaign, which launched on Tuesday, May 6. The campaign aligns itself with the theme of National Go RVing Day by emphasizing that the call of adventure and the comforts of home are close – just beyond your RV door.

RVIA Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President Karen Redfern and Vice President of Marketing Jeremy Greene spoke about the Just Beyond Your Door campaign during the most recent episode of RVBusiness Capitol Talk. That episode can be accessed by clicking on this weblink.

Geraci noted that National Go RVing Day coincides with National Camping Month and Great Outdoors Month in June, giving the industry even more opportunities to promote the RV lifestyle.

MISSOULA, Mont. – Just in time for the summer camping season, onX, a leader in outdoor digital navigation, announced the launch of the industry’s first motorized Dispersed Camping Layer. This innovative feature makes finding legal, vehicle-accessible camping spots on roads and trails in National Forests easier and more intuitive than ever before, according to a release. 

Dispersed camping is the practice of camping on public lands away from designated campgrounds or facilities. This type of camping has grown in popularity over the past five years because it offers a more remote, private, and natural experience away from the crowds, and doesn’t require reservations.

onX’s Dispersed Camping Layer is the first comprehensive source of motorized dispersed camping data, pinpointing nearly 140,000 miles (at launch) of roads and trails in the US National Forest System where the practice is allowed. When toggled on, the layer highlights these road and trail segments in bright yellow, and users can click on the road or trail for each area’s unique regulations. 

Before the new layer, campers relied on two options to find motorized dispersed camping. They could consult Forest Service PDFs, which are the authoritative source but lack interactivity, or user-generated content apps that marked individual sites with varying degrees of accuracy. Neither option allowed campers to view camping information in the context of their route or navigational app. As a result, campers would cobble together information without a clear picture of what was actually allowed or accessible, leading to overcrowding, environmental strain, and even closures in some cases.

“We’re thrilled to introduce a powerful solution that addresses a real challenge our community faces,” said onX Offroad Content Manager Chris Cordes. “To develop the layer, we asked land managers how we could better equip outdoor enthusiasts to access dispersed camping areas and reduce their collective impact on public lands. By highlighting all the legal camping corridors, instead of pinpointing a limited number of marked sites, the layer helps users spread out, which helps disperse the environmental impact seen on popular sites pinned in other products. That’s a win for land managers. It’s also a win for outdoor enthusiasts, who, by spreading out, are finding the solitude they seek and simultaneously helping conserve outdoor destinations.”

At launch, the Dispersed Camping Layer includes vehicle-accessible corridors in US Forest Service lands in Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. onX plans to expand the coverage nationwide later this summer and include dispersed camping on other federal lands in the future. The layer is currently available to onX Offroad Premium and Elite users.
