Looks great, Jim! When will the #8 tennis court and pool be installed?

Tough crowd. . .

On another note, I met with the grading contractor yesterday and he will be here the end of January (or the first week of Feb) to cut in the campground hosts pad as well as two other sites going down down the road out of the park. Can't expect the campground host to be site-less, right?

This place is growing faster than Austin!

The host site gets a corn-mash still, right?

The Deer Springs RV Campground Initiative

Trish and I have wanted to make a small RV Campground for a long time, but we just didn’t have the time. But lately, our interest has been renewed and I think we’re going to make a run at it.

The site we have chosen is a meadow down at the bottom of our property. It’s not perfectly level, but I had a company come by on Tuesday and take a look at leveling it out. The road coming in must be widened as well. Everything is subject to change of course, but here is what I’m planning at this time.

We hope to have a total of 7 sites, 4 pull through and 3 back in. This give us 6 for rental purpose and 1 for a campground host.

The good stuff: (depending on how you look at it)

• There will be full hookups at all of them
• Charcoal BBQ and fire rings
• There will be a minimum of 40’ between each of the individual RV pads, more in some cases
• The views are wonderful, and the setting is remotely luxurious
• Two huge dog runs, one for small dogs and one for larger dogs
• On site laundry room
• A nice pavilion with large, group BBQ setup
• Killer hiking, fishing and great stock Jeep trails abound. We’ll provide custom maps, GPS coordinates, etc.

The not so good stuff: (again, depending on how you look at it)

• There is no cell service in the area
• No cable and no Internet. I hope to be able to solve the Internet issue but I’m not sure just yet
• There will be no showers or toilets. There is plenty of room for them if we decide later to add them. But with full hookups, the guests should be OK and we don’t want the extra maintenance.

I’m very interested in everyone’s comments, suggestions and ideas. Below are some pictures of the project area.

Thank you all!

Nice! I have managed and expanded an RV park located inside a mobile home park. Minimized cost by laying in sewer water and electric by doing in house.That has been year's ago though and I can only assume it would be double.. beautiful location where are you located if you dont mind me asking?
