The bigger bucks come from hotel stays, so hotel owners and managers tend to be leaders and have the most clout among the management groups signing off on marketing campaigns.
But that said, there are also condo rentals, beach cottages, B&Bs and so on that collect the tax, too. I think in general, tourism groups do a pretty credible job welcoming all even if they are staying with Aunt Hattie and Uncle Buster while visiting...or in the Walmart parking lot.
I send for a lot of print material when planning our trips, and often there are campground guides offered. The thick state books just about always list campgrounds in the back somewhere.
While NC has some great "Private" campgrounds in the mountains. Sadly we have almost NO great State Park Campgrounds that will take RVs.. None on the beach, and A pitiful few with even electric hookup. North Carolina seems to care nothing for the RVer. SC really makes NC look bad in the state park CG area.
BTW. We have a pitiful few CGs of any kind on the oceanfront.
