66.7% of Pennsylvania's RV parks and campgrounds with employees had fewer than five people in March 2023, compared with 69.2% nationally. 90.5% had fewer than ten.

Why the phone matters for RV parks and campgrounds in Pennsylvania

RV parks and campgrounds take reservation calls from travelers on the road, often from areas with weak coverage. Staff are often outside, so voicemail capture matters. That holds for RV parks and campgrounds in Pennsylvania as much as anywhere.

Typical inbound and outbound calls for RV parks and campgrounds in Pennsylvania:

What RV parks and campgrounds text about
