Myrtle Beach, SC/ The countdown is on. With less than three weeks remaining, campground owners, RV park operators, and outdoor hospitality professionals from across the Carolinas and beyond are preparing to gather for the 2026 CARVC Conference & Expo, the region’s premier event for the campground and RV park industry.

Executive Director Dee Witting reports strong registration numbers noting 50 campgrounds as well as prospective and future owners are registered, with more than 100 attendees from five states. “We are excited to have 50 campgrounds registered at this time, with more than 100 attendees representing five states. Even more encouraging, 12 campgrounds will be joining us for the very first time, and we already have over 40 first-time attendees.”

The Trade Show is filling quickly with supplier partners offering a wide range of products and services designed to help campgrounds grow and succeed. Attendees will be able to tour two park model cabins in person. Both Sweet-Haus LLC and Green River Cabins will be showcasing models on-site.

Sweet-Haus LLC will debut its new Trailhead Model and introduce a multi-unit lease program that makes adding cabins easier and more affordable for parks. Click here to learn more.

Green River Cabins will feature a park model cabin with an efficient footprint that sleeps up to six and delivers outstanding value at an unbeatable price.

There are still rooms available at the CARVC room-block rate at the host hotel, Embassy Suites at Kingston Plantation. This special rate includes a full buffet breakfast each morning, as well as an evening reception with drink tickets and appetizers. The room-block rate offers significant savings compared with standard hotel rates, so be sure to reserve your room while availability remains.
