Boost Curb Appeal of Your RV Park or Resort by including Site Grills

For managers of RV sites looking to reduce vacancy rates, incorporating conveniences that perfectly match the RV lifestyle could be a game-changer. RVs are a mix of outdoor adventure and comfortable indoor living. The ability to travel the world adds an extra layer of excitement to this lifestyle. With numerous parks, campgrounds, and resorts offering spots for RVs, choosing the best temporary home often depends on availability, amenities, and location. In this article, we explore the facilities that seamlessly combine indoor comfort with outdoor fun.

Grills – Perfect for Local Activities

Grills make it incredibly easy to enjoy your favorite activities. If you're an angler, there's nothing better than cooking your freshly caught fish to perfection on the grill. During family reunions, grilling up classic recipes while reminiscing about old times is a cherished tradition. Grills provide a great way to share the outdoors with old friends, new acquaintances, or even just the two of you. They are an excellent way to enhance the experience of guests at your park, campground, or resort.

Upgrading Camp, Park, or Resort Amenities with Grills

Take a look around at your competitors. Are other parks in the area offering grills? Adding grills to your location could be yet another reason why RVs choose to stay at your place. There are various options when it comes to adding gas BBQ grills to your park, resort, or campground.

Adding Grills to RV Sites

One major advantage of installing grills at RV sites is the free marketing. Guests can tick off more boxes on secondary referral sites like TripAdvisor or AAA. Installing gas BBQ grills, portable propane grills, or built-in barbeque grills significantly enhances the experience for RV guests. Secondary forms of marketing rely heavily on guest experiences to rate and rank RV sites.

When people review options before booking a spot, they look at reviews, star ratings, amenity lists, and photos of the campground, resort, or RV park. These are some of the criteria that influence their choice. Adding grills or a grilling area is one of the simplest ways to improve customer reviews, attract new guests, and encourage repeat visits.

Designing Grilling Areas

There are several ways to design grilling areas. You can start small or go big. You can create a communal grilling space or install grills at specific RV sites.

Start Small or Go Big

Add Gas BBQ Grills to a few RV sites and designate them as deluxe sites. Perhaps you charge more per night for these sites or offer them as perks for guests. The conversation might go something like this: "Let me upgrade your site to one of our deluxe spaces. They come with additional amenities."

Rent Out Portable Propane Grills

Perhaps you rent portable propane grills to guests who wish to barbecue next to their RV. During holidays, this service would be highly sought after. Renting a barbecue grill provides more flexibility to meet demand, and since the grill isn't tied to a specific site, you can serve more people.

Build a Communal Grilling Area

Design and construct a communal grilling area for your park, campground, or resort. Include a few picnic tables, gas BBQ grills, and maybe some other features, like outdoor patio heaters for cooler seasons. A handwashing station would be ideal in such an area too. Many of our gas BBQ Grills come equipped with an automatic grill timer that shuts off the gas to the grill after an hour of inactivity. These features set our grills apart and save time and money for property management, camp hosts, and resort personnel. This feature works well for both built-in barbecue grills and communal grilling areas.

One Size Fits All or Not So Much

We offer a wide range of grills. They come in many sizes. Smaller patio grills are perfect for smaller spaces where people usually max out at 2-4. For larger areas, we have bigger grills that allow a larger family to cook a full meal. Medium-sized grills help you design communal grilling spaces that cater to most guests' needs.

Built-in or Portable?

Deciding between a built-in or portable grill can be challenging. A significant advantage of built-in BBQ grills is that you can connect them to natural gas lines. With portable grills, a small canister of gas (5-10 gallons) accompanies the grill. In some cases, piped gas becomes easier to manage, while portable grills allow for more flexibility in location. Is one better than the other? The answer is no. The grill that suits you best depends on your property's layout, location, number of guests, and other unique factors specific to your RV resort.

Many people might prefer to grill on their site if your property includes both a campground and an RV park, then a combination of portable and installed grills might be the best solution. Guests can rent the portable grills and the tank of gas to fuel them. If the grill belongs to a specific site, then piping gas can be a huge benefit. Portable BBQ grills also have the advantage of lower upfront costs since you don't need to pay for piping gas to an RV space.
