RV & Camping Tradeshows

The RV & Camping circuit, mapped

RV and camping shows in this catalog are almost entirely regional consumer events tied to a single metro area rather than one national trade floor. America's Largest RV Show in Hershey and the Atlanta Camping & RV Show anchor the eastern half of the calendar, while the Chicago RV & Camping Show and Colorado RV+OGX Show cover the Midwest and Mountain West. The Reno Outdoor & Adventure Expo (formerly Reno Boat and RV Show) and Quartzsite Sports, Vacation & RV Show round out the western side, alongside the York RV Show in Pennsylvania.

Season and geography

January carries the most near-term dates, with March close behind and single events in February and September — these shows cluster in the winter and early-spring buying season ahead of the camping year, which fits their role as consumer shopping events rather than trade-only gatherings. Each show is tied to its own city — York, Reno, Denver, Atlanta, Quartzsite, and Rosemont — so picking the nearest metro is usually the fastest way to find the right one.

Choosing a show

Because these are largely regional buying events rather than a single dominant national show, dealers and manufacturers typically pick based on which metro area they want floor presence in that season rather than trying to cover the whole calendar. Attendees shopping for a unit are best served by whichever show sits nearest them, since the format and audience are broadly similar from city to city.
