Many things changed when COVID rocked our world. One of those things was how we vacation. With amusement & theme parks, cruises, and other destination sites limiting guest numbers or even shutting down entirely, many people turned to RVing. When our workforce and learning environments switched to remote options, we discovered a newfound freedom in flexible schedules, mobile offices, and an ability to travel during the work week and school year. No longer did we have to board our pets or find sitters, we just took them along. We could protect our loved ones and “get away from it all”, without having to worry about how well the place had been cleaned since the last guests had stayed there. All of these factors, and many others, contributed to a skyrocket in the RVing community.
With this increase in RVing, campgrounds and RV resorts are staying booked and RVers are left searching for places to go. The old emergency standby of parking for a night in a store parking lot, is becoming less attractive due to safety concerns and less reliable as many stores change their policies. So what is left? Where can we go?
Col(R) Lockwood had the foresight to recognize the early stages of this problem several years ago when he was a geographical bachelor looking for a place to park his RV in North Virginia. He created UpClose-RV to help with the shortage of parking spaces and provide different options to RVers who wanted to visit a specific locale, but couldn’t find a place.
UpClose-RV is a national neighborhood where hosts are waiting to welcome you and your loved ones for a visit. Each site is unique and has different amenities to offer; some are basic boondocking sites and others offer hookups and extras - wifi, a fire pit, access to a pool, etc. As a new company, we now have RV sites available in 19 states and are excited as we watch our business continue to grow as more hosts join. We would love to help you find a place to stay - whether we have one en route to your destination or one that might interest you as a getaway.
You can see all our sites at
www.upcloserv.com or give us a call at (833) 725-6737 if you’d like suggestions for a someplace to adventure.
