Benefits of NCA Membership

Internet

www.campnca.com attracts the camping public in staggering numbers, assisting visitors with the selection of the perfect campground or RV park from within our member state associations. The site also provides direct consumer inquiries to each of our member state associations. Member campground and state association websites are linked to this high-traffic site, enhancing their own search engine status. www.campnca.org offers our members everything they need to know in order to more effectively operate their businesses. Pelland Advertising is the exclusive web site development and hosting services partner of the NCA.

Regional Marketing

Together, the state associations that make up NCA choose regional publications, camping shows and camping rallies to promote CampNCA.com and distribute state camping guides. In April the seven states of NCA will be present at the Boston Outdoor Expo celebrating Camping in the Northeast. Throughout the year 10,000 new NCA rack cards will be distributed across the country highlighting CampNCA.com and each association’s contact information.

MPLC Umbrella License®

Campground owners know that movies are an affordable amenity that guests appreciate. From outdoor “cinema under the stars” nights to rainy day matinees in the recreation center, movies are a safe bet to provide entertainment to all ages. NCA reminds members that a public performance license is required when showing copyrighted motion pictures and other audiovisual programs to campers. NCA has worked with MPLC for many years to educate member campgrounds about the benefits of movie showings and provide a cost savings on their Umbrella License which includes approved content from more than 1,000 rights holders such as Disney, Warner Bros., Twentieth Century Fox, Paramount, Universal, MGM, and Lionsgate.
