Building a small RV park.

[Jim]

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

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!

Jim, you are building something pretty danged special there friend. That place is going to be a real gem.

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?

 

[sheridany]

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

 

[Jim]

What’s the nightly rate?

Regular season rates are $50.00 nightly with 3 night minimum. Special events (like Fall Colors) are priced differently.

Good chance to watch how everything drains and runs off. Better now than later.

It's up to 21* and snow this morning. Discount rates available today!

Man, this place is going to be booked solid. There’s going to need to be some kind of lotto system in play in order to have even a chance of getting a spot.

It'll be like the lottery. We can dream of getting a site.

I'm hoping for the first of April in 2021. I'm working on a website and I hope to put in a section that will keep everyone informed. Here is the link, but please understand that it's very young in its development, so expect mistakes.

You already have a better website than 70% of other RV parks. Love the hustle. Can’t wait to stay.

We look forward to staying.
