Designing a park to maximize profits, or sardine sites will eliminate the RVing experience. People will stay once and only again if nothing else is available...for one night. Occupancy rates will ht the bottom and then rate cuts to get people to overnight and then long term occupants paying barely enough to pay utilities, taxes,...and limited help.
Destination Parks are now being defined as sardine can parks near attractions. Nothing but higher priced parking lots...That is not the RV experience we want or will pay for.
We want and go to Parks with space, paved and concrete pads, large pads, grass and flowers and maybe water features and..lakes.
Now defined as RV Resorts.Another important element is no kids and adults on high power ATVs and carts screaming around the park stirring up clouds of crushed lime or dirt dust. It cost fortunes to clean and keep clean our rigs and five minutes in one of these holes ruins it and precludes any sitting out at the campfire or anything else. Nothing like choking on lime dust from the pool or kiddie pool back to the coach to escape it.
You don't just construct some parking spots and expect success and fortune. Marketing, is a/the prime consideration, in planning a park, as well as a level of quality, and room for expansion and upgrading.
Americans are fed up with the China First so to speak of junk in everything and high prices for it.
