All I can say is I wish you luck. There is a couple who are building a campground in Arizona. They have a blog they post every other Saturday on RVTravel.com. All I can say is you need the patience of Job to pull this off.
If you are not a destination, and you are not close enough to a major interstate for overnighters, then you are clearly in long term visitors. Im not sure how I would feel about that. My experience seeing several long term rv parks, one of which is local to me, is they tend to deteriorate over time, and foster less than desirable clientele. Not sure I would want to deal with that.
I would recommend reading the blog on RVTravel.com. You can follow their progress through the various stages to include getting permits, SBA loans, approval from planning and zoning etc...This weeks blog had half a page of **** the SBA wants from them before they will get their loan funded. I would not have the patience they have. Make sure you do. Of course, that assumes you need a loan. If you are independently wealthy, then nevermind that part.
Good luck. We need more entrepreneurs to build more campgrounds.
