Growth Guide · For Park With Us owners
Most new parks see steady growth over weeks and months, not an overnight rush. It takes time to develop an online presence.
The good news: there are a handful of free things you can do that genuinely move the needle, and they work together. This guide walks through them in the order that makes the most sense.
01
In 2026, most people check online before they decide where to stay. A Facebook page is a great start, but it's not the same as a website. If your park doesn't have a website, it can feel less trustworthy, even if you've been running a great park for years.
A website is what helps you show up when people search "RV parks near me" or look up your town. No website usually means you're invisible in that search.
Got a website? Great! Skip to Step 2

Showing up when someone searches "rv parks near me" isn't automatic. You need a Google Business Profile, which is the free listing that shows your park's information when people search.
Google sometimes creates a basic listing on its own. If that's the case for you, claim it, so you can control what it says and respond to reviews.
Reviews, map listings, and search visibility all build on top of this important step!
Already have one? You're showing off :)
03
Google reviews aren't just for guests trying to decide where to stay. They actually affect where your park shows up in search results in the first place.
The first handful of reviews really matter. There's a jump in visibility once a business crosses around 10 reviews. Most places need at least 15 to 20 before Google and guests start treating the listing as established.
If your park is new or has very few reviews, this is can greatly improve your visibility.
We get by with a little help from our friends!
Step four makes this even easier :)

You do a lot as a park owner. Remembering to ask for reviews can slip through the cracks. Don't worry! Park With Us has a feature built right into your automated messaging to handle this for you.
It starts by simply asking how your guest's stay was with a quick star rating. 5 star ratings get pushed straight to Google. Lower ratings come to you privately instead.
It's designed to protect your Google ranking and grow your reviews.
05
Your working hard to build your online presence. Now it's time to add more ways for guests to discover your park! There are a multitude of listing sites and directories that travelers use to find places to stay.
The best part? They're all free to list on.
Also - we have our own marketplace at Park With Us. Your park is added to our marketplace automatically once you go live. No fees; we don't take a cut. We just want to help you grow.
FYI: Be as consistent as possible with your park's info (address, name, etc). Google cross-checks this info across the web, and accuracy matters.

Bonus step · Go paid!
You did it! All five steps in this guide lay a solid foundation for growth. If you're ready for more - paid advertising can be a powerful next step.
When someone searches something like "RV parks near me," Google Ads can put your park right at the top of the results, ahead of the free listings. It's one of the highest-return forms of advertising in this industry, since the people searching are often ready to book right away.
