RV Park Supply Near World Cup Host Cities More Than Triples Ahead of 2026 Tournament Window

Rising numbers of RV parks and campgrounds near U.S. host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup are making inventory available online ahead of the tournament, according to new analysis from ASAP Supplier Member RMS and outdoor hospitality booking platform Spot2Nite.

The data suggests the number of RV parks listed within 50 miles of U.S. World Cup host cities has increased significantly compared with the same period last year for the tournament window between 10 and 20 June 2026.

The findings point to growing efforts by outdoor hospitality operators to improve visibility and online bookability as accommodation providers prepare for demand linked to one of the world’s largest sporting events.

The research also comes amid signs that hotel demand in some host markets may be developing more slowly than originally anticipated. Industry commentary in the U.S. has highlighted factors including international travel uncertainty, pricing pressures and the release of previously held room allocations as contributors to softer-than-expected early booking trends in some cities.

Against that backdrop, RV parks and campgrounds could play an increasingly important role in the wider accommodation mix for travelling fans.

According to the data, pricing varies considerably across host-city markets. Cities including Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Philadelphia are currently showing higher average nightly rates during the tournament period, while markets such as Dallas and Kansas City remain comparatively lower priced.

Houston was identified as one of the largest and most diverse markets in the analysis, with a broad range of pricing across listed properties.

Adam Seskis, CEO of RMS, said operators should continue to monitor booking trends closely as tournament demand evolves.

“With demand expected to shift as teams progress and fan travel plans change, operators will need to stay agile on pricing and availability throughout the competition,” he said.

He added that visibility and ease of booking would be key differentiators for operators looking to benefit from World Cup-related demand.

RMS said RV park and campground operators near host cities should review pricing strategies, distribution channels and booking systems ahead of the tournament period.
