Unhitched Management Expands to Four More Parks
Unhitched Management will operate four additional waterfront RV parks for Macritchie Group across Texas, South Carolina and New York.
Updated on Nov. 9, 2026 in Camping
Unhitched Management will take over operations of Willow Beach RV Park & Marina, The Point at Lake Hartwell, Shady Shores RV Resort and Fair Point Marina for Macritchie Group. The partnership will cover six properties across five states once the expansion is complete.
Why it matters
Macritchie Group's six parks had declined in performance under the prior management group, prompting the change. The move also reflects that RV parks do not fit the storage-focused operating model of Otter Storage Management.
The expanded partnership adds four parks to the two Unhitched Management already operates for Macritchie Group, for a total of six properties in five states. The source does not disclose financial terms or revenue targets for the new parks.
The players
Unhitched Management
A Pensacola-based RV park management company that now operates six properties for Macritchie Group across five states.
Macritchie Group
The parent company that owns the RV parks and marinas and selected Unhitched Management as its third-party operator.
The details
Macritchie Group selected Unhitched Management through an extensive search for a third-party manager. Unhitched will oversee staffing, guest services, marketing, maintenance and reservations at all four new parks, following its April 2026 start at Canary Beach and Snug Harbor.
Timeline
April 2026: Unhitched Management began operating Canary Beach RV Park and Snug Harbor RV Park.
Summer 2026: Canary Beach hosted a busy season of seasonal and vacation guests.
Fall 2026: Snug Harbor cabin stays kept growing into the fall.
November 9, 2026: The expansion to four additional parks was announced.
Industry Outlook
Owners of diversified property portfolios increasingly hand off recreational properties to specialized third-party managers rather than running them in-house. Macritchie Group's arrangement with Unhitched Management fits this pattern, as Otter Storage Management's core storage model does not extend to RV parks.
Campers and RV owners who use these parks may see changes in reservations, booking systems and guest services as Unhitched Management assumes operations. Guests will need to watch for updated reservation channels at the four newly transferred locations.
The takeaway
Campers planning trips to the affected parks should check current booking and amenity details directly with each property, since operations are changing hands. Watching how management transitions affect guest experience can help travelers choose parks with confidence.
