In this section we will do an in depth feature of a campground and give you a more detailed look at our featured campground. We will strive to show you, not only the campground, but the surrounding area and the activities that will be available to you.

Junction West RV Campground

Progressive RV campgrounds are turning to new marketing to insure their continued success during these uncertain economic times. The new marketing that we see being used is comprised of packaging activities, dining and tours with RV stays and promoting their business with mainstream Internet sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

Junction West has developed some very creative packages for their guests. Their Wild Adventure package includes: ­­­­­­"RV stay for 2 nights in one of our extra wide and long full hook-up RV sites. This package includes a full-day guided whitewater-rafting trip on the Colorado River through the Westwater Canyon with Adventure Bound River Expeditions, for two adults. On your second day, hike a wide range of trails amidst sheer-walled canyons, towering monoliths and colorful formations of the Colorado National Monument. . Mountain bikers will want to explore the Kokopelli Trails or the rides at 18 Road, known to be some of the sweetest single-track in the Western United States. Grab a bite to eat at the Rockslide Brewery downtown using the $25 dining certificate included in your package and receive a free beer or fountain beverage of your choice with the purchase of an entrée. Stroll across the street and down the block to Planet Wines (Grand Junction's only wine specialty store) and receive 10% off a single purchase of regularly priced wines to recall your adventure after you return home to rest."

This past weekend I experienced their Grand Junction Golf and Wine, minus the golf package. "Bring your RV and stay for 2 nights in one of our extra wide and long full hook-up RV sites. This package includes two rounds of golf with a cart at Tiara Rado Golf Course set amidst the towering monoliths and colorful formations of the Colorado National Monument. Drive though the Grand Valley vineyards, pausing at Garfield Estates to taste their award winning Colorado wines and receive 20% off your total wine purchase. Enjoy an evening of wine and food pairing at 626 on Rood, a full service restaurant offering dishes prepared with the highest quality ingredients complimented by an extensive selection of wines from around the world. Use the $50 dining certificate included in your package and receive 2 flights of Colorado wine to taste and compare. After dinner, stroll down Main Street to Planet Wines (Grand Junction's only wine specialty store) and receive 10% off your purchase of regularly priced wines to remind you of your “Grand” experience."

Junction West RV believes that the addition of creative packages for their guests, is a part of their efforts to differentiate themselves from other RV parks in the area. Most RV parks can only use park features as points of difference but both parks have changed the marketing game by using the attractions and area businesses as key separators. Tom and Mari at Junction West have done all the leg work and separated the average from the greats and negotiated excellent packages. Their efforts allow the RVer to fully enjoy the best of the best, without a lot of time spent on research. This marketing trend is sure to catch on as RVers want to insure they get the best bang for the buck and their time.
