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...

You don't have to pay any salaries. (I don't know why you would)
I guess if you do everything yourself there are no salaries but now your working for free.
Who is going to take/monitor reservations?
Who is going to collect site fee?
Who is going to clean the sites?
and do it all for free!
Waste disposal in the midwest is a burn pit or take it to the local landfill. I take a pickup load of garbage that I can't burn or recycle to my local landfill and it's under 20 bucks a pickup load. (13 bucks actually
Once again it takes time to get it there. It takes gas in the truck. There is a fee at the dump. There are real cost associated with waste
Did I mention advertising, How are you going to attract campers to your sites? Will you have a website? Photos? Who will monitor the website and respond to inquiries?
Will you respond to public reviews? Will there be someone on site 24/7 as the acting manager in case of issues? Since there are no salaries this person will have to be a volunteer.
Or someone donating their free time.
OK, you very well could be right. I couldn't find the website I was thinking about.
It could be that you are thinking more like a traditional RV park and I am thinking more like an, Airbnb for campers.
More of the sort of place that for advertising you just stick a sign in the ground that the end of your driveway.
None of the local small county campgrounds I frequent ever have anyone around for monitoring and stuff like that. When you check in you just fill out a envelope and put your money in a slot. The grass and clean up is done by the same person who mows the grass at the courthouse.( And, those of us who camp there a lot help to take care of the place.) I realize that this is a different subject and not like what we were talking about. I just wanted to mention it because not all campgrounds, even public ones, have a person on hand taking care of them.
But, as I said you are probably right about small home home backyard places like I was thinking. I don't have one so I have no experience to go from.
Peace, and have a nice Day.
