We have a very good engineer on board who has RV park experience. Right now we’re in the process of tying up the land and then we’ve been told we have 4-6 months to wait on permits before construction can begin. As far as price goes, we had figued on an average of around $47.50. Prices at parks that would be similar to ours in our region range mostly from $40-$60 nightly. We were hoping to get our name out about 3 months or more ahead of opening and hoping for an average of 40% occupancy. Other parks in the area seem to operate at 60-70% occupancy even during this time of year. I realize that it will take some time to get established but we feel very good about our location.
One thing I haven’t seen mentioned much is a hot tub. We have a pool in our plans and I was wondering about a hot tub with it too, is that something anyone looks for?
FYI, if you market your park as "New" and all "Top Grade" power pedestals and sanitary hookups I would be right at your entry gate.
Everyone has been frustrated at some point with run down hookups.
