Thank you to all who attended our 2023 Summit!

We had a great time connecting with our members and supplier partners over the three-day event. It was exciting to see so many familiar faces, and several new ones as well! Our wonderful speakers left us with great answers to our pressing questions and a lot to think about moving forward.

We appreciate the support of our Board of Directors, and each of our members, suppliers, and industry partners who participated in making this year’s event a success!

Inn Town Campground in Nevada City, CA has been nominated once again to defend their title of “Best RV Park Campground”. They brought home first place in the category in 2022 and owner Erin Thiem has stated that they are “excited to help put California campgrounds on the National map and bring awareness to the variety of RV Campgrounds out there.

Inn Town Campground is not alone in their efforts to represent California, as two other CalOHA parks are also in the running for “Best RV Campground” this year. San Diego Metro KOA in Chula Vista and Ramblin’ Redwoods in Crescent City have both been nominated in the category as well!

We also have a CalOHA park, El Capitan Canyon, nominated in the category of “Best Glamping Spot”. El Capitan Canyon is a Sun Communities park in Santa Barbara that offers cedar cabins and adventure yurts amongst a wealth of natural beauty.

Please join us in congratulating all the 2023 nominees and help keep California’s parks on the map by placing daily votes! You can vote in each category once a day for the whole month of April.

While we are not completely out of the drought, we are in a much better place than we were at the start of the year. As of March 24th, Governor Newsom rolled back some of the state’s water restrictions, such as asking for a voluntary 15% decrease in water usage and ending the requirement that local water agencies implement level 2 of their drought contingency plans.

Across the state, we have hit capacity at many of our reservoirs that were previously at critically low levels, and we’ve begun to see a resurgence of rivers and lakes that have not held water for decades. Temperatures are beginning to rise, and the resulting snowmelt will only add to our increasing water levels. One thing the winter storms have brought to the forefront of the Newsom administration's attention is the need for an improvement of infrastructure and expanded water storage. Newsom was quoted saying “As we welcome this relief from the drought, we must remain focused on continuing our all-of-the-above approach to future-proofing California’s water supply”.

El Capitan Canyon is a Sun Communities Park that offers a wealth of natural beauty with its location in historic groves by the seasonal El Capitan Creek, where the Pacific Ocean and Santa Ynez Mountains provide a stunning backdrop for activities and adventure. Their cedar cabins and adventure yurts cater to “luxury” campers who seek a nature experience in comfort combined with fireside gatherings. Guests can take a ride on one of the complimentary beach cruisers, explore the hiking trails, and seasonally enjoy a wine tasting at the market or a live show during the summer Canyon Concert Series.
