I would feel I might have to potentially change my business plan. Maybe I become a boutique park with even higher rates but even better amenities. Maybe I change to a different product, the world needs cabins and other lodging. Maybe it would be time to sell the land and subdivide. Businesses get outcompeted every day. I knew when I went into the business it was always a possibility that the market could change. New competitors could enter. People's wants and desires could change. Nothing is a given. That's the free market. The answer is to adapt or die, not expect the better competitor to be kept away by government.
..... How about this wild idea that ton's of RV'ers would take advantage of: A check-in status option and section of your campground that was graveled surface only, allowed no hookups, allowed no use of your WiFi, allowed no use of your bathrooms or showers, and was very inexpensive - like $7.50 to $10.00 per night, with a two-night maximum?
We would make use of this kind of commercial campground special pricing and conditions BIG TIME ... instead of what we currently use for quick stop-overs en route between longer term camping spots: Walmart lots, church parking lots, Port of Entry lots, truck stop lots, etc..
The above would help towards adapting or dying.
