On this week’s episode of Good Morning Outdoors, Alex Burkett holds down the fort while Matt Whitermore away at a conference, and we’re joined by a very special guest-host, Christine Taylor.
Chrissy brings a unique perspective to the show, with a background that spans campgrounds, compliance, and now law, as she wraps up her legal career at Goldberg Segalla.
We dive into the brand-new 2025 Kampgrounds of America, Inc. Report and what the data reveals about shifting consumer preferences in the outdoor space.
Then, we explore a new article from the RV Industry Association, highlighting how Millennials and Gen Z are reshaping the RV industry and pushing manufacturers and operators to adapt.
We also take a closer look at the Terramor Outdoor Resort brand, built by KOA, and how it’s blending luxury design with legacy campground roots.
Finally, we break down the latest SSI data showing a nearly 12% drop in retail RV registrations for February 2025—and what it could signal for the year ahead.
This one’s packed with insights for campground owners, RV pros, and anyone watching the outdoor hospitality space evolve in real-time.
