The Rise of Third-Party Management in Luxury Outdoor Hospitality: Could It Be the Smartest Move for Your Camp Resort? 

In this episode of Glamping Americas Podcast, we’re diving into a fast-growing trend that’s changing the way luxury camp resorts operate… third-party management.

Could handing over a few tasks actually help you grow faster, serve guests better, and protect your sanity?

To help us unpack it all, we’re joined by Dan Invergo, Director of Business Development at Northgate Resorts. With a proven track record of developing and operating some of the most successful camp resorts in the U.S., Northgate is now rolling out a new third-party management platform, designed to support other operators looking to scale.

We cover:

  • What third-party management really means in the outdoor hospitality world
  • How to know when you’re ready for a little extra support
  • What separates a good partner from a game-changing one
  • Real success stories from the field
  • The technologies and tools that elevate guest experiences
  • How to maintain heart and soul while streamlining operations

Whether you’re an independent site owner, an investor, or someone navigating rapid growth, this episode will give you practical tools and a thoughtful perspective to help you decide your next big move.

If you’ve been feeling stretched by the day-to-day operations of your luxury camping site, RV park or camp resort, or you’re starting to explore options for a future exit strategy further down the line, this episode offers insights that could transform how you run (and grow) your business.
