“It doesn't cost anything to stay there as part of our program, but the expectation is that you're going to support the local business you visit,” CEO Joel Holland said. He said each stay only lasts for 24 hours and businesses can set a limit to how many RVs are allowed at one time. Holland said RV members are charged an annual fee of around $100, but businesses can sign up for free and keep all income they make from overnight campers.With inflation biting into the cost of essential business items, Lazenby said the program is helping to offset rising prices.
“ people that would never come here, they would never know about you," he said."They’re customers walking in the door. How can you lose?”
