Owner, Mendota Hills Campground, Amboy, Illinois
When I joined the board, it was clear the Association was stuck decades behind—outdated in communication, outreach, and overall direction. Since bringing on Merchantry Tourism, we’ve witnessed a complete transformation.
Merchantry has done a phenomenal job partnering with the Illinois Campground Association, helping modernize and elevate nearly every aspect of our organization. Member outreach has reached levels we haven’t seen in years, and, for the first time in a long time, we’re actively engaged with our state’s elected officials.
Most importantly, communication with our members has improved tremendously. What once felt stagnant now feels energized. Thanks to Merchantry’s leadership and expertise, the Association is not only back on track—it’s firmly planted in the 21st century and poised for real growth.
