RVC's Outdoor Destinations Participating in Tents for Troops


Starting this month, RVC Outdoor Destinations will be participating in ‘Tents for Troops.' This charitable program is a way for participating RV parks and campgrounds to say ‘thank you’ to the men and women who serve in the military. All of the company’s properties – Pine Mountain (GA), Carrabelle Beach (FL), Live Oak Landing (FL), and Catherine’s Landing (AR) will be signed up to offer free nights and discounts.

RVC’s participance in charitable events has always remained an important factor to the company’s principles. Every property strives to be involved in what they can within the community, especially if it is for a good cause such as Tents for Troops, a national message of gratitude.

“We’re always looking for ways to give back or show our thanks to the citizens who make a difference,” said Yale Spina, Vice President of Operations at RVC Outdoor Destinations. “We encourage these men and women to come to any of these properties to relax and spend quality time with their families,” he added.

Active military personnel and their immediate family will find two free nights of stay and discounts for additional night stay at three of the four properties starting in December. Catherine’s Landing in Hot Springs, AR will be open February 2011, so the special offer will apply then. 

Pine Mountain, an RVC Outdoor Destination will offer two free nights at four concrete RV sites and four tent sites. Live Oak Landing, which is roughly four hours and 20 minutes from Pine Mountain, will offer two free nights on four of their concrete RV sites. Not far from Live Oak Landing, Carrabelle Beach, an RVC Outdoor Destination is offering two free nights at three concrete RV sites. Lastly, Catherine’s Landing will offer two free nights at four concrete RV sites when open. A 10% discount will be given for additional nights at all properties, and reservations are required.

RVC properties are known for having a variety of fun and relaxing activities, unique lodging options, and uncommon amenities; all while being located in some of the most beautiful and natural settings of each area. Along with RV Sites (and tent sites for Pine Mountain), all RVC properties have additional options for stay including cabins, Resort Cottages, and yurts. Guests can also enjoy the advantages of free Wi-Fi, concierge service, coffee, beer & wine sales, game rooms, and much more.

The Tents for Troops program was created this year by Toutle River RV Resort and is supported by ARVC (Association of RV Park and Campgrounds) and other participating campgrounds and resorts across America. The motto of the program is “Creating a place to enjoy life, away from the field.”

Pine Mountain Keeping Others in Mind This Holiday


The month of November has been a busy one for Pine Mountain, an RVC Outdoor Destination, and December is already creeping up! The annual Thanksgiving lunch was successful and as joyful as they expected it to be – with about 90 guests (not including staff and family) socializing and enjoying the tasty feast (Be sure to check the Facebook Page for photos!). Now, Pine Mountain has just announced that they are officially a drop off point for the “Toys for Tots” program. Anyone wanting to donate can drop off new, unopened toys at the station in the lodge now until December 16th. General Manager Warren Adams is proud that Pine Mountain can assist in this great cause, and adds that “he cannot stand the thought of a child not receiving a gift on Christmas.”

For those of you who are not familiar with the Toys for Tots program, here is a little background. It’s a non-profit charitable program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve. There are dropping off points all over the U.S. for anyone to donate new, unwrapped toys. The toys are given as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community, who then get to be a part of this special holiday tradition.

And, don’t forget that Pine Mountain is also featuring the “Mid-Week Fantasy in Lights” package, in which 10% of the proceeds will be given to the Salvation Army. A great package for families or couples, this includes TWO tickets to the famous Callaway Gardens’ Fantasy in Lights show, One concrete site (Azalea) with cable and free Wi-Fi, One bundle of firewood, and Two complimentary gourmet coffees in the morning. Value = $85, Pine Mountain's price = just $69. The package is valid for Monday-Thursday nights from November 19th to December 30th. If you’ve never been to Callaway’s Fantasy in Lights, you’ll want to see this. And while you’re relishing in the sites and sounds or relaxing by the fire pit with a cup of hot co-co, you can be comforted in the fact that you have helped to give back to those less fortunate.


 It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
