My parents have used an old salt mine set up for winter storage of RVs in PA for years. Most likely this one in KS was also originally a salt mine, as there are lots out there.
Converting it into an RV park is clever and would make for a unique (short) stay. It's not a bad idea.
As for Preppers (or whatever) ... LAUGH. A cave like this would require ventilation (electricity), lighting (electricity), and fresh water (possibly natural, but likely not). Electricity requires fuel and a generator and/or solar panels and wind generators. Fuel is consumed, and all of those other things have relatively short useful lifetimes and need replacement parts. Ahh well... I always have this problem with "preppers".
