Record-breaking exhibitor participation reflects strong industry support and growing excitement for Pennsylvania's premier campground industry event.

The Pennsylvania Campground Owners Association (PCOA) is proud to announce that its 2026 Convention & Trade Show has officially sold out, marking the largest trade show in the Association's history. With exhibit space completely filled, PCOA has established a waiting list for additional companies interested in participating.

The record-breaking trade show will take place during PCOA's 63rd Annual Convention, December 7–10, 2026, at Kalahari Resorts & Conventions in the Pocono Mountains.

"This is an exciting milestone for PCOA and a tremendous reflection of the strength and enthusiasm within the campground industry," said Jason Vaughan, Executive Director of PCOA. "To have our largest trade show ever, with companies still looking for an opportunity to participate, speaks volumes about the value of bringing campground owners, operators, and industry suppliers together. We are incredibly grateful to our exhibitors, sponsors, and industry partners for their continued confidence and support."

The sold-out trade show will feature an extensive variety of businesses offering products, services, equipment, technology, and innovative solutions designed to help campground owners and operators enhance their facilities, improve operations, and grow their businesses.

The trade show serves as a centerpiece of PCOA's annual convention, providing valuable opportunities for attendees to connect directly with industry suppliers, discover new products, strengthen business relationships, and explore solutions to the challenges facing today's campground operators.

"One of the greatest benefits of our convention is the opportunity to build relationships between campground owners and the companies that serve them," Vaughan added. "Our continued growth demonstrates that these connections are more important than ever. We are looking forward to an outstanding event and are already excited about what this momentum means for the future."

While exhibit space is sold out, companies interested in participating are encouraged to contact the PCOA office to be placed on the official trade show waiting list. Additional sponsorship opportunities may also be available.

The 2026 PCOA Convention & Trade Show will bring together campground owners, operators, industry professionals, and suppliers from across Pennsylvania and beyond for four days of education, networking, business development, and industry engagement.
