The element of surprise and adventure has somehow turned into disappointment for many campers. Looking for that perfect campground for family fun or tranquil relaxation has become a task of difficulty. From camper to creator, David Markowich is changing this guessing game of where to camp into a dream come true. The idea of campersview.com was born in 1998 while David spent months camping in the western US. After his own experiences and talking with other campers David took action.

With the passion for camping as the fuel, David began learning about remote control helicopters and taught himself to fly. Once airborne and after countless hours of practice, he mounted a camera to the chopper and started taking aerial photos from 50 to 100 feet, at angles regular aircraft would not be able to fly. This height gives the viewer the definition of the land and amenities achieving better detail than what could be captured from any aircraft.

The next step was selling the idea. David continued to talk to campers about their needs and asked for suggestions as he built his idea. In 2003 David met his wife Tracey and together they began working on bringing the many ideas together. Campersview.com was born in 2004 after completing their first campground in South Carolina. The virtual walk through the campground was such a success, the campground owner, Jim Thigpen, wanted to be a part of what he knew would change the campground industry.

The campers of today are different. They want to know where they are staying, what amenities are available and what the campground looks like. Being an astute businessman, Jim Thigpen saw from his own increases what this online directory of campgrounds could do for the industry. Campground descriptions leave too much to the imagination. A charming, quaint campground with walking trails too often turns into a rundown campground overgrown with weeds and abandoned trailers left behind. Many say a picture is worth a thousand words so a virtual walk through a campground is definitely worth millions.

At campersview.com campers can whet their appetite, get excited about where they are going or where they have been. Technology has made the world a smaller place and campersview.com has perfected the use of technology to not only take the disappointment out of camping but to raise the standard for campground marketing as well as campground conditions. With campersview.com campgrounds can display their own charm allowing campers to “be there before they get there”.
