Networking:
When you attend a TNARVC meeting, make a phone call, exchange email messages, or visit another TNARVC campground,
you have an opportunity to interact with your peers one-on-one and share common interests and concerns.
You probably learn more about the campground business through this networking process than in any other way.
And, you develop lifetime friendships and great referral sources.
Education:
At the annual Tennessee Campground Conference & Trade Show be held in August at:
Misty River Cabins & RV Resort
5050 Old Walland Highway
Walland, TN 37886
TNARVC offers "nuts and bolts" workshops, "cracker barrel" discussion sessions,
and Certified Park Operator (CPO) courses that are designed to help you do a better job of running your campground.
You will also have an opportunity to do some shopping at the trade show.
Camping Guide:
Each year, TNARVC publishes the Tennessee RV/Camping Guide.
It is distributed to the public via the state's welcome centers, rest areas, over 25 RV shows throughout the country,
local chambers of commerce, TN Department of Tourist Development, and other strategic locations.
In terms of new business from the camping public, TNARVC member campgrounds benefit greatly from this exposure.
Members are entitled to a free listing in the Guide and the
annual Tennessee Vacation Guide published by the state department of tourism.
Internet Site:
TNARVC provides its members with a free billboard listing here on www.campintennessee.com
which is linked to many other websites all over the internet.
Newsletter:
TNARVC publishes a bimonthly newsletter which is sent to all members and campground suppliers.
It contains feature articles and reports on the current activities of TNARVC and National ARVC.
The newsletter is an excellent source of information on major issues affecting
the campground industry, both at the state and national levels. An electronic newsletter is also sent to members.
Legislation:
Each year, legislation in the Tennessee General Assembly that relates to the
RV park and campground industry is monitored by the Tennessee Tourism Roundtable
of which TNARVC is an organizational member.
The TNARVC membership is kept abreast of important legislative issues via the newsletter and legislative alerts.
Through the efforts of members, state legislators are made aware of TNARVC positions on campground issues.
Member Discounts:
As a member of TNARVC and National ARVC, you are entitled to many revenue generating and expense reducing benefits.
These include a 19% commission on long distance calls placed from your payphones,
a credit card program with no annual fee and low interest rates,
a 28% discount on John Deere equipment, discounts on music and video licensing,
a 20% commission on prepaid phone cards, a 25% savings on propane expenses, and many more.
The savings from these and other member benefits more than offset the cost of TNARVC/NARVC dues.
National ARVC:
National ARVC is the only organization representing the interests of all RV park and campground owners/operators in the country.
It is actively engaged in lobbying and educating the members of Congress on
regulatory and legislative issues affecting the campground industry.
NARVC also provides its members with a monthly newsletter, annual convention and trade show,
Certified Park Operator program, School of RV Park and Campground Management, and other services.
Assistance and Advice:
The TNARVC leadership and staff, along with over 60 of the finest RV parks in Tennessee, are available to share any information about campground management and operations. For further information about TNARVC programs and services, contact the TNARVC office.
