Description
Independent, But Not Alone: Strengthening New York’s Campground Community
Gather.Connect.Celebrate.
Join fellow independent campground owners and operators from across New York for a one-of-a-kind gathering that celebrates the heart of outdoor hospitality. This year’s conference is all about connection — sharing stories, strategies, and successes that help us grow stronger together.
You’ll have the chance to build valuable relationships not only with your peers, but also with key suppliers, vendors, and tourism professionals who support and elevate the camping experience. Whether you’re looking for fresh partnerships, marketing ideas, or operational solutions, this event brings everyone to the table.
This November, we’re uniting the people who make New York camping unforgettable. Through interactive discussions, networking sessions, and casual campfire-style socials, we’ll spotlight the innovation and resilience across our industry — and celebrate everything we’ve built, together. Let’s gather, connect, celebrate- and dream bigger for what's to come
