The perfect RV campground

I would doubt that more than 1% of the RVing public would choose a park because the park had lectures. Unless you have some kind of remarkably unique property, nature trails are another non-starter. Food would only be important if you were extremely remote with no other dining options anywhere around. Most RVers are looking for destinations beyond the park unless you are considering a seasonal park.
For most any park the primary focus should be utilities, facilities and hard amenities. Quality hookups, good roads, clean bath facilities, a good laundry and well groomed landscaping is much more important than anything else. Management is often in the eyes of the beholder. A park managed tightly will appeal to many and be a turn off to many more. Same with the other way around. Echoing the post of another (who probably stole if from one of my many other posts making the exact same point :D) attempting to please everyone will mean you will please no one. Decide on the market segment you wish to capture and build the park to meet those needs. If you haven't built a park before, consider hiring a professional park consultant. They will likely save you tens to hundreds of thousands in construction costs and prevent you from building a huge white elephant that will suck the life out of you.

I already have chosen a potential site and am seeking how to upgrade it past tent camping. It includes forest and a lake, which is unique to the surrounding plains. The structures on the site are large enough to hold conferences as well as expansive natural brick paved outdoor spaces. Past owners did not properly identifying their market niche, which is a mistake I would avoid.

This is my first post on this topic and not my last inquiry.
