“Travel Resorts of America is growing to meet the increasing demand for exclusive outdoor experiences,” says Steve Baldelli, TRA’s CEO. “More than 65 million Americans planned an RV trip in 2021, and 10.1 million Americans took their first camping trip in 2020. Camping is the best way to enjoy nature, and membership parks are the best way to camp because they provide extensive amenities and space to build memories with family and friends.”

“We are thrilled to welcome the Midwest Outdoor Resorts members into the TRA family and share TRA’s enhanced benefits,” he adds. “Most importantly, all members will have the opportunity to experience an expanded menu of camping and travel options. We are focused on increasing our campground options as we create a national network of TRA-branded camping resorts.”
