Would You Camp at a Place Like This??
Would you camp at a place like this? *Quiet, Private land holding only one or 2 other RVs, if any. You might have the whole thing to yourself. *Full Hookups, but absolutely no facilities. J...

Ok. Thanks for all the feedback.
Seems it may work, but it's not a complete home run. That's why I asked here.
One big variable is price. I think that depends heavily on location. It's $120/night to stay in a parking lot in Jersey City, NJ with quick access to NYC. It's booked nearly solid too. Can't determine the price of the KOA nearby to where I am in Florida since it's sold out for the next 6 weeks and the site only shows pricing if they have a spot. Not a single spot or day available on their calendar. If I look in Montana or something, low prices and plenty of availability. So we are all talking from a huge variety of backgrounds in price here. Those were some beautiful pics above of the BLM type camping. That's definitely the dream. I'd prefer that too. But I guess some people like NYC and Florida too, given they are completely sold out and/or $120/night. So location dictates price.
As to the park owner, I already own 2 other small businesses. Haven't worked at any other company aside from my own since before the turn of the century so we can let that ridiculous part of the thread go. Found it particularly funny he was all sour grapes just like a hotel owner would be toward an airBNB. Owns one small businesses but assumes I'm either "dirt poor" or shady because he's frightened. That alone makes me think I'm into something. Ha ha.
I'd personally like something like this myself since I'd never stay at a campground. I don't like all the neighbors and activity. I boondock if I'm urban or rural, but would prefer a nice campsite, especially visiting a new area or somewhere that I have a lot of plans for exploring. It gets annoying trying to find a spot to boondock in congested areas. Plus hookups are great.
Thanks for the thoughts. I guess the market reaction is "meh". It's funny because I'd never use Harvest Hosts because I don't want to buy stuff or have long chats with the hosts. I want small, individual, private campsites without all the people involved. It doesn't exist.
But it seems I'm pretty much the only one that feels this way.
