"Planning an outdoor trip has always required a little faith. Even in an age of satellite images and endless photo galleries, many campers still pull into a site only to discover that the online photos were outdated or that the layout was nothing like what they expected. For families with young kids, RV travelers hauling heavy rigs or beginners who simply want to try something new, that uncertainty can turn excitement into anxiety before the engine ever starts."
"For more than a decade, Mark Koep has been working to eliminate that uncertainty. The idea for Campground Views began not in a boardroom but on the road, where Koep and his wife spent 13 years living full-time in an RV. His work in digital marketing allowed him to stay mobile, and the couple used that freedom to explore thousands of miles of North American landscapes. Along the way, Koep saw the same issue again and again."
Planning outdoor trips often leaves campers uncertain because online photos can be outdated and layouts may differ from expectations. That uncertainty disproportionately affects families with young children, RV travelers with large rigs, and beginners seeking a low-stress first experience. Mark Koep lived full-time in an RV for 13 years and repeatedly encountered these information gaps while traveling. Koep combined digital marketing and SEO expertise with business training to create a practical solution. Campground Views launched in 2012 to let people preview campgrounds as if they were already there, focusing on tangible details that reduce anxiety and improve trip confidence.
