- mittshelExplorerCan anyone recommend a CG in Idaho Falls near the walking trail? Thank you. Betsy.
- LantleyNomadWhile I did not watch the video. I did see a picture of the sites. Didn't seem that extravagant to me.
The sites are paved with fire pits and a few rocks.
I do not consider that over the top. - bobsallyhExplorer IISure the cost of development is high, but the there is no need for all the fluff. And there are other suitable options in the IDF area.
- LantleyNomadI think everyone needs to consider what is cost to develop a park.
The infrastructure and environmental cost are daunting.
Now we want fully grown trees an a wooded atmosphere on day one!
Of course we want it all, including full hook ups for $50.00 or less a night
I think we need to adjust our expectations.
By the way if I were in the area the new place is certainly something I would check out and give it a try at least once. - goducks10ExplorerRates. $100-$200 a night for that place? No thanks.

Fair enough ^^^^^
OTOH the one near me hasn't got squat and they call themselves a resort.
Maybe these places should look up the definition of the word! - Cwilson333Explorer

While we prefer woodsy state CG's, there's no denying these types of places are very popular wherever they open and there's a lot of people who prefer the wide open feeling. We have a new one in a small, semi-remote town (Sultan, Wa.) that gets $65+/night. Even though there's no real amenities or anything to do, it stays fairly full - enough so that they're expanding.
We need more capacity and I say if people like them (and they seem to), I for one am glad these places are springing up and gobbling up campers. - Cwilson333ExplorerLooks like they at least provided a little room between sites. "Luxury"??? A few washing machines, pickleball courts, and a community fireplace hardly constitutes Luxury IMO but ok lol. Personally we like being in the woods when we head out. If I want to be in a wide open field sitting on a hardscape patio we can do that in the back yard at home.
- stickdogExplorerI'm a simple man no need for luxury, the wife does like things that sparkle so you know where the money goes.
