Building a small RV park.

Crew worked on the road today, it's going to be a stunning entrance! And the Leaves are starting to change as well. Nature can be overwhelming sometimes!

Looks spectacular and looking forward to visiting.

The "existing" entrance in your 5th picture looks nice & impressive! Why not use it?
You're making great progress for sure!
And great "LOGO"!

We call that the "Toad Gate" and it's pretty tight for comfortable RV usage. I'm afraid it would only be a matter of time before someone hit it and damaged their RV.

The new driveway, referred to as the "RV Entrance", is quite wide and works as the main entrance/exit for the RV's. Once the RV is in the "landing zone", you will key in the pass code for the main gate. Toads can be disconnected/connected in this area. Continuing on, the driver stays on the right-side driveway to enter the actual park area.

During your visit, you can continue to use the RV gate, although it requires that you enter the gate code each time. Or, you can use the Toad Gate (which opens automatically for exiting guests) and use the RV Entrance to reenter the park.

I was down at the road throwing grass seed around and no less than three fifth-wheels went by in a period of 10 minutes. No surprise really, as this is a long weekend and they're all headed for the campground three miles up the road. And I was thinking, what a missed opportunity. I should have had a big sign out here, advertising the coming of the Deer Springs RV Park.

I called a couple of sign companies and found a guy that would throw a quick 4' x 8' sign together for me. Total cost for both sides, $350.00 and I can pick it up at 4:30 today. I could not believe it!

Edit: Here is the sign that he made. I'm quite happy with it. lol, I was hooking it up to a temp support and a fellow drove by and then backed up to ask questions. I was surprised at how unprepared I was to promote my new site. Need to create some handouts and get an elevator speech made up.

I like the way you think, @Jim! Let me predict that this will be a successful venture due to your engagement and critical thinking. Well done, sir; well done.

Looks terrific. I agree to the point regarding your future success with the park. Better start thinking about phase II. ?

@Jim, consider an area for overlow and boondockers? You may have X sites with hookups but you could cater to an even larger crowd such as an event (RVF?) if those of us with solar or those willing to use generator and stay at reduced rates. I'm thinking more on the lines of RV events though that an overflow area for boondocking would be cool as well. Just make sure it has good sun exposure wherever you choose if you want to cater to solar folks.

A wonderful idea Neal. The property next door will someday be up for sale and it may be just what the Dr. ordered for an expansion of the RV area.
