As the world emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, a new breed of camping and outdoor enthusiasts has evolved, fueling the growth of the RV campground resort industry. Recognizing this trend, I invite you to embark on an exciting journey with me and my development team at Metrovitalization to create Royalty Camping, a deluxe RV campground resort in Northwest Pennsylvania.

Royalty Camping is envisioned as a premier destination for RV camping, glamping, and outdoor enthusiasts, offering a perfect blend of indoor luxury with outdoor adventure. The resort will feature 92 RV sites, 14 deluxe cabins, and 30 glamping yurts and tents, catering to diverse preferences. Guests can indulge in a lazy river, playground, pond, picnic areas, pavilions, gazebos, three bathhouses, two laundry facilities, and a nature walk/hike/run garden path. A 27,000 square foot building and a 10,000 square foot guest registration and activity area will provide ample deluxe space for amenities, activities, goods, and services. Additionally, a large green area has been reserved for future developments, such as pickleball courts, bocce ball courts, miniature golf, volleyball, or other recreational facilities.  Get regular project updates at the Royalty Camping’s LinkedIn Showcase Page.

One of the key factors that drew Metrovitalization to this project is Royalty Camping’s prime location only a short drive to shopping, dining, and entertainment venues. Situated in a region with no direct competition, the property offers immediate access to three interstate expressways, making it easily accessible yet secluded and private. The surrounding natural beauty and convenient location create an ideal environment for camping enthusiasts to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life within a private and serene environment, while still having access to nearby conveniences

While the Metrovitalization team’s experiences include the planning, development, and construction of numerous residential communities, mixed-use developments, and commercial establishments, Royalty Camping presents a unique challenge. From an urban planning perspective, the project combines rural, urban, and suburban aspects, which is very different from the team’s previous urban- and suburban-focused projects. Designing and marketing an RV campground resort that stands out from the competition, appeals to the RV community and outdoor enthusiasts, and maximizes profits while providing exceptional guest experiences is, without a doubt, a new frontier for Metrovitalization. Nevertheless, it is undoubtedly a worthwhile effort, as Royalty Camping is poised to become a distinguished “gem” in the RV camping and glamping sectors.

With local approvals obtained and property acquired in 2023, construction of Royalty Camping is slated to begin and finish in 2024, though it may extend into 2025 depending on various factors.  The road to success is paved with challenges, but the Metrovitalization team embraces them as part of the adventure. Royalty Camping has a variety of paths toward growth. We could choose to self-perform and oversee every aspect of the project ourselves, if this approach suits us best. On the other hand, collaborating with specialists in RV campground design, management, marketing, or operations might prove to be advantageous. Alternatively, finding a balance between managing tasks in-house and forging strategic partnerships could be our chosen path. We will uncover our course as we go.

Metrovitalization plans to expand Royalty Camping into numerous key locations across the United States, and to capitalize on the strengths and lessons learned from the Northwest Pennsylvania location, to optimize the business. As the project unfolds, we are excited to share the experiences through videos, renderings, project photos, and updates on Royalty Camping’s LinkedIn Showcase Page, welcoming thoughts, advice, suggestions, and resources from interested parties.
