Dallas-based RecNation Storage, an owner, operator, and developer of specialized RV and boat storage facilities in the United States, has acquired an additional site in Sacramento, California—an expansion that marks the company’s 65th location across eight states.

RecNation said the move further solidifies its position as a premier choice for high-quality recreational storage solutions. It also positions RecNation’s growth as a coast-to-coast operator with operations spread from Florida to California.

“We’re excited about the opportunity to expand into the California market, which is the largest RV market in the country,” Gary Wojtaszek, the founder, CEO and “chief camper” of RecNation, said in a statement.

“The state of California has sold more than $500 million in RV sales and has over 50 state and national parks nearby with Yosemite, Sequoia, Death Valley, and Joshua Tree being some of the biggest parks in the country,” he added. “Our goal is to expand into 20 other locations across the state as we build out our platform.”

The company said that in response to the increasing popularity of RV and boat travel, driven by a surge in remote work and a desire for affordable family vacations, RecNation is expanding its footprint to accommodate a growing demand for secure and well-managed storage options.

It cited recent industry reports that said the number of active campers has risen by 68% over the past decade, adding an additional 21.6 million households to the camping community.

RecNation said that by introducing another location and state to its portfolio, the company continues to show its dedication to providing “exceptional storage solutions that support the adventurous lifestyles of modern travelers and enhance their outdoor experiences.” The RV Industry Association’s July 2024 survey highlights the industry’s robust growth, with total RV shipments reaching 24,116 units, a 17.5% increase from the 20,520 units shipped in July 2023, reflecting the ongoing expansion and vitality of the RV market, RecNation noted.

First third-party agreement

“We’re also equally excited to announce our first third-party management property.” Wojtaszek said, “We’re planning to significantly increase the value of this property for the property owners by aggressively increasing sales and profitability and plan to do this for many other owners.”

RecNation said the new business segment is poised to leverage its national scale and industry-leading management expertise, offering developers and current owners an opportunity to enhance their property’s performance and value.

RecNation was launched in 2020 and has expanded its operations step by step in the years since. It doubled down on its RecRental move into the peer-to-peer RV rental space with a white-glove management service, and launched RecExec and RecResale last October to deliver marketing, sales, and operational expertise to its industry while offering RV consignment sales to its customers. In January, RecNation expanded into digital infrastructure in a partnership with TowerCo, which will build and manage wireless towers across RecNation’s properties across the country.
