Building a small RV park.

[TJ&LadyDi]

You're not "building a small RV park, @Jim; you are building a compact luxury RV resort! That's going to be superb!!! This is what happens when a dedicated RVer with good taste, an imagination and some common sense turns a good idea into a great reality. Well done!

Nice! How's the water taste in your area? As far out as you are, I presume it is coming from a well?

Wow! I have read the whole thread and I’m so impressed by your starting this and following up on how to make it even better than it started out as.

We pick up our new DSDP in March. Hopefully your park might by up and running? We’d love to try it on our virgin trip from Nappanee to Florida to load our stuff. We might also try it as we head back north from Florida to head west.

Your park looks awesome and we’d love to try it. You have put so much love and attention into it and it shows. It will be successful and you will never have an empty spot!

Thank you so much for the kind words. We really are working hard on it. Living out here, finding people to work is next to impossible. And when you do find someone, they're so busy that you just have to take a number and get in line. As such, a small project turns into a much larger one and a large project really becomes a test. But we're getting there!

Yes, 550' deep! Up at the house the water is complements of a wonderful spring. But it's not big enough for the park, not by any stretch of the imagination. So we had to drill a well. Got 20 gpm, and that's not bad! More than enough for the park, and the water is really good too!

I sure hope so Ed. lol, but days like today, while it's raining cats and dogs and I'm knee deep in mud, I have to wonder though.

After our trip to Key West, where we had a hut with preparation counter and refrigerator, we have decided to do the same at our park. So now, each site will still have a 10’ X 10’ gazebo, but we will add a countertop, sink with running water and a refrigerator with ice maker.

The beauty of this became apparent as soon as we got back from the store with our groceries. Everything went in the refrigerator and was easily accessible when it came time to cook, which was done on the BBQ. And the drinks were nice and cold without having to be put in an ice chest. It’s really nice not having to haul food/drinks in/out of the coach all the time.

Also, given the refrigerator had an ice maker, I didn’t have to buy ice the entire time I was there.

I think it will be a nice perk.

Here is what we have in mind. Not my picture, I snagged it off of the Internet. But it's almost exactly what we had planned on building. Also, the refrigerator isn't shown in this picture but we will add it beside the countertop.

Well I know what the name of the park should be now. " Glampers RV Park " LOL Should be a really nice touch.

This is almost getting to a level that is almost too good to be true. Good thing I know it’s true, it’d be hard to believe otherwise. What’s the nightly rate?

I have a feeling reservations will be required a year in advance. The secret is out. East Coast or West Coast everyone knows now. ??
