Eddie,
I wasn't unerstanding clearly your swimming pol concept. Are you saydig that you are going to have the seating inside the pool or outside the pool?
As for clothes lines, when we drive around looking at sites one of the deciding factors, among others is if there is someplace i can hang a clothes line. It is not about washing and air drying clothes at all. It is about wet swimming suits and towels. Take a family of 4 where the 2 kids have each invited a friend along, now you have a bath towel and a beach towl for 6 people that is a lot of clothes line space, plus the swim suites. If you have plenty of trees that is ideal. If you run into an area where the trees jsut don't work out you might consider sinkng some posts, moms really do need clothes lines. Especialy when you rent a place for the year, you go back week-end after week-end and if you dont have a clothes line it makes you unsatisfied with the site. dad's don't deal with this issue but moms do. keep mamma happy
I'm loving the thread it is so much fun to hear everybody's ideas. I neve was at a campsite that had garbage cans at each site or garbage pick up at the site. Everyone I was at had dumpsters throughout the park and you walked down and emptied your garbage into the dumpsters. Most did have recycling dumpsters as well.
I know I threw out some kookie ideas but I thought it would be fun to talk about the "ultimate dream" campground and then, we all know, reality sets in.
I ws kind of surprisd you had the propane donw by the RV storage sheds. is it ar away form the office? I was jsut thinking what a drag it will be to canstantly ahve to run down there and fill propane, or else ahve staff down there. This could be mitigated by only selling propane between 9 & 11am and 6 & 7pm. Would cut down on running down to the Propane fill area from the ofice. But again perhaps it is not all that far.
What are you thinking would be a rate for a full year rental? Will you offer full year rental? Can the campers & rv's stay on their sites all year long? Will you be open all year?
