The Springfield RV, Camping & Outdoor Show is set to return from February 14 to 17, 2025, at the Eastern States Exposition Fairgrounds in West Springfield, Massachusetts.
The annual event, recognized as the largest of its kind in New England, will feature over 200 exhibitors spanning three heated buildings, covering more than 270,000 square feet of space.
The event will showcase a wide range of industry participants, including RV dealers, campground operators, and suppliers of specialty camping and outdoor products.
Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the latest models of recreational vehicles, connect with representatives from various campgrounds, and discover new products and services designed to enhance the outdoor experience.
For outdoor hospitality professionals, the show serves as a platform for networking and business development.
Campground operators and resort managers can connect with RV dealers and suppliers, gaining insights into emerging trends that may influence consumer preferences in the coming season.
With a strong exhibitor lineup that includes organizations such as the Massachusetts Association of Campground Owners, the Maine Campground Owners Association, and Equity Lifestyle Properties, the event offers valuable opportunities for collaboration and industry insights.
In addition to exhibitor showcases, the event will feature a series of seminars covering topics relevant to RV owners and outdoor enthusiasts.
Industry experts, including Chris Dougherty and Diane McNamara of Girl Camper, will present on subjects such as RV maintenance, mobile networking, and choosing the right RV.
These educational sessions provide campground and resort operators with insights into the evolving needs of modern campers, helping them tailor their offerings to meet customer expectations.
Since its inception in 1963, the show has been organized by the Pioneer Valley Chapter 8 (PV8) of the North American Family Campers Association (NAFCA).
“What started in just one building has expanded into three buildings with over 270,000 square feet of exhibitor space,” event organizers noted.
The growth reflects the increasing demand for RV travel and outdoor recreation, trends that continue to shape the outdoor hospitality sector.
Beyond industry connections, the event also features entertainment and family-friendly activities, which help foster engagement among attendees.
These attractions provide an additional avenue for businesses to market their services to a broader audience, potentially expanding their customer base.
For businesses in the outdoor hospitality industry, attending the Springfield RV, Camping & Outdoor Show presents an opportunity to stay informed on industry advancements, connect with suppliers, and gain exposure to potential customers.
As consumer interest in RVing and camping remains strong, the event serves as a strategic venue for businesses looking to strengthen their market position and build valuable industry relationships.
