Meet Ali Rasmussen and Spacious Skies Campground
Welcome, friends! Today, we’re thrilled to introduce you to Ali Rasmussen, the visionary founder of Spacious Skies Campground. Alongside her husband, Ali has transformed her love for the outdoors into a thriving empire of campgrounds that span across the country. Currently, they boast 15 locations, making it possible for families to reconnect with nature in a variety of beautiful settings.
Unlikely Beginnings
What makes Ali’s story so compelling is her transition from a background with zero experience in camping to owning a successful chain of campgrounds. Her journey began when COVID-19 hit in 2020, and like many, she found solace in the great outdoors. Purchasing an RV, Ali and her family embarked on their first road trip with their three young children, discovering the unique charm of each campground they visited.
Building the Spacious Skies Brand
During these trips, Ali and her husband conducted what they now call “unintentional market research.” They quickly realized the impact that camping and nature had on their family dynamics and envisioned sharing this experience with others. By leveraging Eric’s real estate background and Ali’s creative marketing skills, they started Spacious Skies Campground, highlighting the importance of the connection to nature and creating inclusive camping experiences for everyone.
Philosophy and Vision
The name “Spacious Skies” was inspired by the patriotic poem “America the Beautiful,” symbolizing inclusivity and a shared love for the land. Their mission is to offer accessible and meaningful camping experiences that cater to all types of campers, from novices to seasoned adventurists. They emphasize staff creativity and guest comfort, ensuring a welcoming environment that feels like home.
Future Ambitions
Spacious Skies plans to expand further by partnering with existing campground owners, enhancing the brand’s reach and maintaining its core values. They aim to make camping an inclusive, joyous experience for every American, providing memorable moments amid the great outdoors. We can’t thank Ali Rasmussen enough for sharing her inspiring story. If you’re yearning for a summer filled with campfires, s’mores, and unforgettable adventures, Spacious Skies Campgrounds is your ideal destination. Get out there and enjoy the spacious skies near you!
