Travel Resorts of America Acquires Midwest Outdoor Resorts

Travel Resorts of America, a membership-based campground operator located in Southern Pines, North Carolina, has acquired Rapid City, South Dakota-based Midwest Outdoor Resorts, which operates five campgrounds in Minnesota and South Dakota.

Travel Resorts of America offers its 23,000 members extensive amenities including indoor/outdoor swimming pools, miniature golf, hiking trails, and scenic lakes and rivers. Each resort has an on-site activity director who plans social events, crafts, and sporting activities for the entire family.

TRA members now have access to a total of more than 2,500 campsites at 14 camping resorts, including 11 member-only properties, in Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and South Dakota. Accommodations include spacious recreational vehicle and tent campsites, as well as cabins, all surrounded by the beauty of nature.

“Travel Resorts of America is growing to meet the increasing demand for exclusive outdoor experiences,” said 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 added. “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.”
