Discover the Future of Campground Access Control at WACO 2025
Stevens Point, WI – Revolutionizing Campground Operations
Campground owners attending this year’s WACO (Wisconsin Association of Campground Owners) Tradeshow will have the chance to experience a game-changing innovation in automated access control. From March 12-16, 2025, industry professionals will gather at the Holiday Inn Hotel & Convention Center in Stevens Point, WI, where Inex Technologies will showcase its cutting-edge Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) system at Booth L28.
How ALPR is Transforming Campground Security and Guest Experience
With hundreds of campgrounds — including Rip Van Winkle, Cozy Hills, Four Seasons, and Champions Resort — already transforming their operations using LPR, the benefits are clear: seamless check-ins, enhanced security, and improved revenue collection.
From Manual to Modern Access Control
For years, campgrounds have relied on traditional access control methods such as manual gatekeeping, paper permits, and RFID tags. While these approaches served their purpose, they often came with challenges like tracking visitor stays and managing access efficiently. With Inex’s ALPR technology, campgrounds can now automate gate access, seamlessly match vehicles to reservations, eliminate RFID card costs, and ensure accurate billing — enhancing security, efficiency, and the overall guest experience.
The Power of Real-Time Monitoring
ALPR enables campground owners to automate gate access, prevent unauthorized stays, and enhance security with real-time entry and exit records. This technology leads to a smoother guest experience, increased revenue, and more efficient operations.
Revenue Protection & Operational Savings
Stop Losing Money to Unauthorized Stays
One of the key operational challenges that campground ALPR solves is revenue loss from untracked guest stays. Visitors may check in for a single night but stay longer without paying, leading to lost revenue. Without ALPR, there was no reliable way to monitor and enforce accurate billing for these overstays, making revenue leakage a persistent issue.
With Inex’s ALPR system:
- Vehicles are automatically tracked, ensuring visitors pay for their actual stay.
- Unauthorized overstays are flagged, and reports include full guest details, allowing owners to bill accordingly.
- No more lost revenue from guests who take advantage of manual tracking limitations.
Eliminate RFID Card Costs and Manual Gatekeeping
Many campgrounds spend thousands annually on RFID cards that get lost, shared, or damaged. With ALPR, license plates become the key to access, eliminating the need for RFID cards.
- $5K+ annual savings by removing RFID card replacement costs
- Reduced labor costs by eliminating the need for 24/7 on-site gate staff
- Remote gate control, allowing managers to open and monitor gates from anywhere
Live Demonstration at WACO 2025
At WACO 2025, attendees will have the opportunity to see a live demonstration of how ALPR can improve their check-in process, gate security, and visitor tracking. The system also allows for real-time alerts on unknown vehicles and remote gate control via phone or computer, making it a flexible solution for campgrounds of all sizes.
