In this episode of Outdoor Hospitality Weekly, we break down the rise and potential fall of LOGE Camps, a lifestyle outdoor lodging brand that once scaled to 17 locations and positioned itself as the future of outdoor hospitality.

We explore how the brand grew quickly during the outdoor travel boom, raised nearly $40 million in capital, and built a portfolio of properties across the country before recent developments suggested significant financial and operational challenges.

The conversation looks at what might have happened behind the scenes: development delays, the complexity of scaling hospitality brands, investor expectations, and the realities of raising capital in a difficult financing environment. We also discuss broader lessons for operators and investors about growth, discipline, and the operational challenges that come with building multi-location outdoor lodging brands.

This episode isn’t about criticizing a company, it’s about understanding the realities of building and scaling businesses in outdoor hospitality, and what the industry can learn from stories like this.
