OUR JOURNEY

2020

Traditional RV park

2020

Our founder, Matt Oesterle, took a road trip with his family and stayed in traditional parking-lot-style campgrounds for the first time. Compared to his many experiences backpacking and camping in more remote places, he found the experience of being on top of each other in paved parking lots to be terrible and lacked the experience of being in nature.

2021

This turn of events led to conversations with outdoor-minded friends and family and the insight that there wasn’t a great national brand with nature-focused campgrounds. The result was Ramble, born in an effort to bring a great outdoor camping experience to all Americans.
