Thanks to everyone for your input so far. We are good to go on zoning, water and septic and are in the process of moving forward. Regarding the land closer to the interstate, we found out a few months back that there wasn't enough sewer capacity left at the property to support the park and upgrading the system was a dealbreaker for us which is what prompted us to look at some of our own property. While we realize the type of park we're proposing would be looked at as more a "destination" park, we still feel like we can catch our fair share of overnighters due to the relatively short drive from the interstate. From our feasabilty study to campers we've personally spoken with and input from forums like this, it sounds like that would be the case.


With that being said, I have another question to all of you regarding cable. Being that this is a new park from the ground up, do many of you still see a need for cable or would excellent Wifi be sufficient for todays camper? Lots of people we spoken with personally feel like cable is becoming a thing of the past and along with Wifi we have excellent local antenna channels in the area.

I'd think about putting in cable and forget about WiFi. Why go to the expense when it will no doubt be overwhelmed with HD video streaming as stated. I have a phone with a hotspot that I can connect devices to and we can surf or Netflix all we want, or check the commercial coverage. OTOH, I have been to a few parks with cable, and was basically underwhelmed - mostly because I had to pay big bucks for a longer cable at the camp store because the placement of the power pole in my site. We usually rent a movie from the local RedBox or have our own.
