Interesting tidbits from RVTravel

A proposed campground along the California/Mexico border has stirred up interest and controversy. At least one San Diego county official is pushing for a campground in the 1,800 acre Tijuana River Valley Regional Park. Pressured by a mandate to develop affordable tourist lodging on the coast, county supervisor Greg Cox says he’d like to see a campground fill that role. But U.S. Border Patrol officials aren’t keen on the idea. 'Over 3,200 of the 5,300 arrests in the Imperial Beach sector occurred within the immediate vicinity of the proposed campsites. Twenty-five percent of those apprehended had prior criminal convictions in the United States and some of the illegal crossers were documented gang members,' says a letter from the patrol’s sector chief.

And another article

An Oregon RV park is going to pot – or is it up in smoke? Grow Condos, an Eagle Point, Ore., company that provides completely outfitted marijuana growing 'condos' for lease, wants to branch out. Their vision? A dope-smoking friendly RV park near Lake Selmac called – what else – Smoke on the Water. Grow Condos already has a deal in the works to buy Lake Selmac Resort & RV Park, south of Grants Pass. If the deal goes through, not only would pot smoking be the order of the day, guests could purchase pot from an on-site dispensary.

Now, there's another thread going on here that talks about an untapped market for a niche RV. Sure how this Oregon RV park isn't the beginning of something like that.
