Save Big with our Propane Discount Program

Take Advantage of CalOHA's Most Underutilized,

Yet Highly Advantageous Money Saving Program.

Your membership with California Outdoor Hospitality Association comes packed full of valuable benefits, programs, and tools to keep your park operating at its greatest potential. One of the most useful advantages is that our association has negotiated discounts for our members with propane providers across the state. We have partnered up with Global Gas, Ferrellgas, and Suburban Propane to ensure our parks have access to the best rates and for those taking advantage, the savings have been massive. Switching to one of our propane partners or simply requesting the CalOHA member discount be applied to your current accounts could be the best business decision you make this summer!


Our member Gold Strike Village made the choice to begin taking advantage of our membership discounts last fall and in less than 7 months they have saved an estimated $26K in propane costs! Bakersfield River Run requested that our member discount be applied to their current account and saved over $9K in their first year, without needing to switch carriers. The savings is that simple and could be a real game changer for your parks budget. 


Inflation has hit California hard, rates everywhere are climbing, and every day that you are not taking advantage of these discounted rates is money out the door. Your savings could cover your membership fees and more!

Advocacy Alert : Heat Illness Prevention

Keep your Campers and Employees Safe & Cool this Summer

CalOHA is currently monitoring Assembly Bill 2243 which would require Cal/OSHA on or before December 31, 2025, to submit a proposal for revising regulations on heat illness “to include an ultrahigh heat standard for employees in outdoor places of employment for heat in excess of 105 degrees Fahrenheit.” Revisions that are being required would include an increase in mandatory cool down periods, immediate availability of cool water, and an increase in monitoring for heat-related illnesses, among others.


This bill would also require that Cal/OSHA revise the wildfire smoke regulation originally adopted in 2019, lowering the AQI (Air Quality Index) threshold at which protections equipment would become mandatory.


Assembly Bill 2243 has been amended in Senate as of June 29, 2022 and sent back to committee. Stay tuned for updates as it progresses but in the meantime, check out these tips for keeping both your workers and guest cool and safe through the summer heat waves.

Keep hydrated: Ensure that all employees and campers have access to cool fresh water. Water should be sipped on regularly throughout the day to maintain adequate hydration.


Schedule regular breaks: Whether they are out working or playing, everyone should take regular breaks and avoid overly exerting themselves.


Dress light: Avoid selecting dark uniforms, as they soak up the heat. Instead opt for light colors.

Salt up: Stock up breakrooms or your camp store with sports drinks and salty snacks, to help replace salt lost though sweat.


Start early: Schedule outdoor projects and activities early in the morning to avoid being out during the hottest parts of the day.


Provide access to supplies: Stock up your camp store with items that are aimed to keep guest safe and cool such as sunshades for tents, hats, sunglasses, sunscreen and hand held fans.
