Building a small RV park.

[NWIP]

Progress, what more can you ask for. Good weather to continue?

@Jim reminds me of that show in Alaska where they are always building, clearing, doing something like this.

New to the site and new to RVing... but I love watching a "Dammit I'm gonna do it" attitude.

The reason I camp is to get away from wifi, cell, technology. Just make it clear it is not available but have a landline present. Most places I tent camp don't have coverage.

Will you have a store/general office that can provide assistance? Firewood? You mentioned trails, but what about hunting and fishing? Hiking? Mountain biking?

Not trying to be a downer, but those are things I would look for.

I wish you well with your venture and hopefully I will visit soon.

There will be a campground host on duty and easily accessible. You are free to hike the property and if you are more adventurous, we are quite close to the Appalachian Trail. Up the road a few miles is access to the river and from what I hear, great fly fishing.

We will have a self-service, honor system store that will stock the most needed items (but not everything) and a free to use laundry facility. Firewood is also complementary.

I hope to see you next Spring!

Can't ask for any more than that! The weather has been NASTY for the last week, complements of hurricane Delta. But the next 10 days looks to be beautiful and we hope to make some good progress.

Thanks for following our progress @NWIP.

...

The only Internet available out here is satellite, and is very unreliable. But I'm still working through the FCC to try and motivate Verizon or AT&T to look at the best interests of our community.

I did however find a company that has fiber in the area (Balsam West) and I have reached out to them. They will contact me on Monday, or so I'm told.

Balsam West was a bust. They said they are expanding and would contact us when they get into this area, but I believe that was more of a canned response than anything else. So... back to the drawing board.

Come on Elon Musk!

I heard that YES there is free firewood, at completion of 8 hours labor on the campground improvements. Water included with your two 7 minute breaks.

What's the nightly rate here going to be again?

What's the nightly rate here going to be again?

Originally, it was $40.00 a night. But some changes have taken place and it looks like the nightly stay will be $50.00 with a 3 night minimum.

Yes, free firewood for the length of your stay. The laundry room is also a complementary perk.

For what is being offered, I'd say that is a bargain! Heck, we might even come out from the "Left Coast" for a visit.
