The Story of Johnny Parks

Not everyone earns a nickname that sticks, but for John Cascarano, it was never a question. Friends, colleagues, and even investors now call him "Johnny Parks", a name that captures both his character and calling.

John didn’t set out to become the face of outdoor hospitality, but somewhere between his first cross-country road trip and a dusty handshake at a campground sale in Montana, he realized that RV parks weren’t just a niche — they were a passion. Where others saw gravel lots and hookups, John saw opportunity, community, and the kind of freedom that only a sunrise over a quiet trailhead can offer.

With childhood experience in hospitality -- working at his family's land and his grandmother's B&B -- it was understandable that John purchased an RV park as an investment on his journey to financial independence. But what started with a single park evolved into a mission. John became obsessed with transforming ordinary campgrounds into elevated destinations where families could unplug, travelers could connect, and nature could take center stage. Along the way, he developed a sixth sense for spotting undervalued land and infusing it with soul. People began to take notice.

It wasn’t long before industry insiders gave him his nickname — it speaks to the trust he’s earned, the communities he’s built, and the vision he brought to every site.

Today, "Johnny Parks" isn’t just buying RV parks. He’s building a brand, a movement, and a future where the great American road trip has a worthy home at every stop. For John Cascarano, this isn’t just business — it’s personal. And for the people who follow his journey, it’s unforgettable.
