Under the Blue Water management agreement, brand identity, guest programming, and community partnerships will move even further.   "Spacious Skies is one of the most intentionally built brands in outdoor hospitality. Ali and Eric didn't just acquire campgrounds — they built a community around a real belief: that the outdoors belong to everyone. That kind of brand doesn't need to be reinvented. It needs operational backing to broaden the guest community. That's what we're here to do."  — Rafael Correa, President and CFO, Blue Water  Blue Water’s role is to strengthen operational execution, expand and solidify brand management and marketing through guest experience delivery across the portfolio — building on the foundation established by the dedicated Spacious Skies teams, under the direction of the Rasmussens and Logan Miller, the company’s president. “We built Spacious Skies around the belief that the outdoors belongs to everyone — and every decision we’ve made, from our loyalty program to our partnerships, reflects that. Choosing a management partner meant finding someone who understood and valued what we’ve built. Having known and respected the Blue Water team for years, we knew they were the right team to help steward this next chapter.” — Ali Rasmussen, Co-Founder, Spacious Skies Campgrounds  What’s Next  Blue Water assumes management of the full portfolio effective June 23, 2026, through a phased operational integration already underway. The immediate focus is on ensuring continuity for current guests and property teams, with Blue Water retaining 95% of the Spacious Skies team, while establishing the infrastructure, systems, and marketing strategies to support long-term portfolio performance.  Property-level capital investment plans are currently under evaluation, with improvements to amenities, digital presence, and guest experience delivery to be announced on a property-by-property basis.  This transition marks the next evolution for Spacious Skies, with a focus on expanding the brand's reach, enhancing guest engagement and loyalty initiatives, and pursuing opportunities to leverage their expertise to support others in the industry. ###  About Blue Water Blue Water is an outdoor hospitality investment, development, and management company with more than 15 years of industry experience.
