Arizona State Parks and Trails and PinDrop Travel Trailers Partner to Support Family Campout Program

September 30, 2025

PHOENIX - Arizona State Parks and Trails and PinDrop Travel Trailers are proud to announce a new partnership aimed at getting more families outdoors. From October through May 2026, PinDrop will donate 10% of proceeds from its PinDrop rental program directly to the Arizona State Parks and Trails Family Campout Program, helping to introduce children and parents to the joys of camping together.

The Family Campout Program is designed to make outdoor adventures accessible for families who may be new to camping. Led by Arizona State Parks rangers, the program teaches families how to set up a tent, cook outside, explore nature, and enjoy campfire fun—creating memories that can last a lifetime, with all equipment provided.

PinDrop Travel Trailers, based in historic Miami, Arizona, is known for its award-winning, solar-powered micro-campers. Built in the USA with a commitment to craftsmanship, PinDrop trailers combine rugged durability with modern comforts in a classic teardrop design. Key features include a fully solar-powered design, lightweight towability, four-season comfort, and a user-friendly full galley kitchen designed for both short escapes and extended adventures.

“I believe in the power of the outdoors to bring families together,” said Ruth Ellen Elinski, co-founder of PinDrop Travel Trailers. “We’re thrilled to support the Family Campout Program because it aligns so closely with our mission: to make nature more accessible while building community.”

Arizona State Parks and Trails welcomed the partnership as a way to expand access and deepen the impact of its outdoor programs. Michelle Thompson, deputy assistant director of Arizona State Parks and Trails, said, “The Family Campout Program teaches people about camping, recreation activities, and stewardship. We hope participants build a love of nature and a desire to continue exploring on their own. Through this partnership, we can offer more ways people can enjoy Arizona's beautiful outdoor spaces."

PinDrop’s rental program makes it easy for adventurers to try out a PinDrop before purchasing or simply enjoy a ready-to-go camping experience. With every rental through May 2026, campers not only get to experience the award-winning trailers but also give back to a program that helps Arizona families connect to the outdoors.
