I hope he doesn't succeed. Poverty Point is an above exceptional park and RV park as are some others, which names escape me right now.

They would be cutting their own throat. There is a scarcity of quality private parks and the good ones are not, perhaps, usually, where you want to spend some time. The last time we stopped at Poverty Point, we did see a bear, and we spent about 500.00 for some supplies and to eat in the area. if that park hadn't been there, we would have proceeded on to Texas and spent the money.
