Associations
OHI (Outdoor Hospitality Industry, formerly ARVC)
OHI is the membership association for privately owned RV parks, campgrounds, and glamping resorts in the United States and Canada. Its work for members is organised around four areas: advocacy, professional development, community, and member discounts.
Members get legislative tracking and representation in Washington, training programs written for park operators rather than general business audiences, a listing in the GoCampingAmerica consumer directory, and a Discounts Marketplace covering supplies from propane to pool chemicals.
OHI runs the annual Outdoor Hospitality Conference & Expo (OHCE). OHCE2026 is at the Fort Worth Convention Center and opens with a Prospective Owners Workshop for people considering buying a park. The OHI Foundation awards scholarships to the George O'Leary National School of Outdoor Hospitality.
The association says it draws on more than 60 years of experience, and staff work from Centennial, Colorado, Monday through Thursday. Dues and membership tiers are not published on the site, so call the office for current pricing.
