One major item slightly touched on is whether the road is dirt or paved. Most rvers will not travel 8 miles of dirt road. It clogs our air filters, covers our tows in dust and gravel, and is just not desirable. This would be a deal breaker for many. If you proceed, one item I have found desirable, from owners and users point of view is unisex washrooms. Instead of having mens and womens, install x number of washrooms that is useable for either sex. This way the cleaners can close one at a time, and not disable the entire washroom. If you have tenters, and small campers, the washrooms become very important. We were at one campground this summer where they closed the shower house and bathrooms for a hour, at 8 in the morning for cleaning. What were they thinking. Many charge 50 cents or a dollar for a 10 minute shower. I will even use them on occasion. Its nice to just have a good, high pressure, hot shower once in a while that I dont feel like Im in a closet. Rv showers tend to be on the small side. Harvest Host could be a good angle, considering you have the brewery on site. Good luck.
