Building a small RV park, Part 3

[Bigblockyeti]

Not sure to be honest. But we're not opening this area until May of 2024, so I'm sure we'll be OK.

You gonna be the first one up?

I'd love to but I'm still shopping for a TT and all my kids are 12 and under, likely the kind of kids that make for "no kids 12 and under" rules. They're the kind of kids that can wear out a really hyper active dog then do it all over again after a gatorade or coca-cola infusion.

The proximity does sound very appealing!

Let us know when we can make reservations for the new area. I’m thinking sometime in October 2024.

Took my rig up the new road for some pictures of where the 4 new sites will be. Got pictures of sites 12, 13, & 14 but the pics for Site 11 weren't worth posting.

Each of the 4 sites will have its own set of long range views and although every RV is visible to the others, none of them are looking into the awning side of any of the others.

Site # 12

Site #13

Site #14

We may have to come visit in the Fall....

Wow looks great. Are you going to put concrete pads in at the top right away or are you going to wait?

Don't plan to do anything more than making level pads with crusher run. Full hook ups of course, picnic tables and firepits, but no gazebos, refrigerators, etc. Pretty bare bones sites, but the views and seclusion should be enough. Oh, and lots of grass!

 

[John&Andrea]

Looks great, plenty of room.

That sure looks like a large area, it makes your motorhome look small. Looking forward to seeing it in person.

Omg, you have taken it to a new level. I only dream about paving our laneway and look what you have done. Yikes!$$$

And just like that, 4 tiny homes disappeared!

And some I’m sure

We've always planned on clearing out a spot next to the creek but someone quite important (you know who you are ) is coming out late September and we know he will like to put his feet into the creek! So yeah, we're moving the project up to the front of the line.

There is a creek behind all those Mountain Laurel's in the picture just below.

And here is the same place after spending a couple of days removing trees, plants and a few thousand years of leaves that have turned into the most awesome soil anyone has ever seen!

Next picture shows the new area from the creek looking out. We'll plant some grass, Trish will landscape it, and we'll probably put a huge community fire pit in the middle. Or maybe a deck, just not sure yet.

And here is the modest creek that we forged back in time to gain access! We've been lacking rain, so it's not flowing as strong as usual. But the water is cold and as fresh as any spring water you've ever seen. And it sounds awesome!

We made pretty good progress today but we'll have to give it a few days to dry out before I can level things out and get it ready for grass.

It's gonna be cool!

Thanks!
Stay cool in the heat.

Wow. That is super nice!

 

[Neal]

I'm not coming in September. Hellooooooo!

 

[Jim]

I'm not coming in September. Hellooooooo!

Be there or be square, Neal !!!

 

[Jim]

Wow. That is super nice!

I think it will be. It's just big enough to put out some awesomely mellowing sounds. It really get rolling when we have a rainy year. But even at its lowest, it never stops flowing.

 

[Jim]

Same creek but in a different area. This will not be an RV site, but it will have a huge deck that hangs out over the water and maybe a small cabin. We hope to have the cabin powered by a hydro generator. Started this about 4 or 5 years ago and lost a lot of it when we had a huge flood. But little by little, we're putting it back together.

Jim eventually your going to need to take a break.

 

[Jabber Jaw]

Jim,
We will see you tomorrow!
We are looking forward to spending a "Fantastic Fourth" at your "Little Slice of Heaven"!
