Building Community One Campsite at a Time — RVE #393

When Michele and her husband Connor discovered a campground for sale in rural Pennsylvania, they didn’t just see a piece of property, they saw potential. In this episode, Michele shares their journey from life on the road as remote workers to campground owners re-imagining what it means to create an experience destination, not just another stop along the way.

How? They transformed a storage-filled pavilion at Rustic Acres into The Hub – a welcoming space for remote workers and travelers alike. And, they modernized outdated reservation systems and updated the website.Plus, Michele unpacks the mindset, marketing strategies, and community spirit required to turn a campground into something more.

Learn how purpose-driven hospitality is shaping the future of outdoor travel—and why saying hi to your neighbor might just be your campground’s secret superpower.
