NCA Preparing for 50th Anniversary Conference
The RV parks and campground sector’s agenda is as busy as ever
during the first quarter of 2014, from an annual educational program at the Oglebay Resort in West Virginia to state conferences
in Kansas, Missouri, Ohio, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Michigan. And
one of the most significant stops on the early year’s calendar is a
Golden Anniversary event for a key state trade association — the
50th Annual Northeast Conference on Camping & Trade Show
hosted by the Northeast Campground Association Inc. (NCA)
Mar. 20-22 at the Sturbridge Host Hotel in Sturbridge, Mass.
In an era when several state associations have reached the halfcentury mark, including the Campground Owners of New York
(CONY), which held its 50th convention in late October at New
York State’s Kaatskill Mountain Resort, and the Pennsylvania Campground Owners Association (PCOA), which drew 200 attendees in mid-November to the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort
near Farmington, this year’s Northeast conference amounts to a big moment for new executive
director Cyndy Zbierski as well as NCA’s nine affiliated northeastern state groups.
“We are very excited,” reported Zbierski, who succeeded her father, veteran exec David Tetrault,
as the trade group’s third director at the first of the year. “We’ve looked back at our programs from
1965 — when the first Northeast Conference occurred — and we have been working very hard
to truly celebrate the 50 years. Looking back at that program from 1965, there were things for
brand-new owners and for everyone in between, regardless of whether they’d been in the industry
for 30 days or 30 years, and we’re going to continue that tradition.
“We have set up our programs for this year so that we have all kinds of educational opportunities
focusing on campgrounds, of course, but also focusing on them as small businesses — from topics
like how to handle their cash reserves to issues like whether they should build a dog park,” added
Zbierski, whose father, after 23 years on the job, is stepping into a consultant mode for NCA.
So, it goes without saying that Zbierski, who had been with NCA for six years, is expecting a
big crowd for the upcoming Northeast Conference. And those attending the Sturbridge conference
can expect a spirited charity auction — one of the best ever — from a trade association that’s always
had a certain panache when it comes to calling for auction bids.
“It really has been a big deal for us,” Zbierski added. “It’s our Friday night event, and we would
never move it to another time because many people come just for the auction. They know that
there’s going to be some great products and services — sometimes at a great price, although sometimes people pay $1,000 for a blueberry pie. You’re just never sure what you might get.” WCM

Concessionaires Suing Forest
Service Over 2013 Shutdown
Last year’s government shutdown may
seem like a distant memory to some, but
the 16-day-long standoff in Washington
over the budget is still reverberating in
court, thanks to concessionaires.
The Wall Street Journal reported that a
federal judge in Virginia was expected to
hear arguments in January in a dispute between the U.S. Forest Service and a national group of campground operators
who claim the Obama administration
made an “arbitrary” decision to shut them
down during last fall’s budget battle.
The lawsuit is the latest test of the executive branch’s power to decide what
parts of the federal government are allowed to keep running during budget impasses like the one in October, which
brought much of the federal government
to a halt for 16 days.
The plaintiffs, led by the Californiabased National Forest Recreation Association, say the Forest Service had no legal
justification under the law to close National Forest campgrounds operated by
private businesses.
The suit, which was filed in October,
claims that the campgrounds and recreation areas should have been allowed to
remain open because they don’t rely upon
the federal government for funding and
that private staff could have safely managed the sites. The group says the Forest
Service carried out what it described as politically driven orders from the Obama administration, costing businesses hundreds
of thousands of dollars in lost revenue.
“We think it was an arbitrary decision
to just close the campgrounds,” the
group’s executive director, Marily Reese,
told Law Blog Jan. 15. A spokesman for
the Forest Service didn’t respond to a request for comment. WCM
New Developer Aims to Make a Splash in the High-End
Park Community With ‘The Fountains’-Branded Resorts
The Devcon Group’s first luxury resort for Class A motorcoach owners,
The Fountains of St. Augustine, Fla., is slated to open later this year.
‘Being somewhat frustrated with the quality of the RV
resorts I’ve visited, I’ve realized it’s time to get into the
RV resort business,’ said Curt Geisler, CEO of The Devcon Group. The first of the company’s luxury resorts
is slated to open later this year in St. Augustine, Fla.
Some people will settle for less-thanideal accommodations in an RV park and
live with disappointed expectations.
When you’re CEO of a large Florida company with many specialties — including
resort development — you don’t have to.
“I’m an RV guy personally. I’ve owned an
RV coach myself, I’ve been in it most of my
life,” said Curt Geisler, CEO of The Devcon
Group, a Jacksonville, Fla.-based company
involved in a wide variety of projects, in-
cluding serving as consultants and managers for mergers and acquisitions, startups, consolidations, regulatory compliance,
expanding or modernizing existing operations or facilities and new developments.
It’s that last part that is a natural fit for
the group, Geisler explained. “We’ve been
in the resort-development business for a
long time, developing different type resort
properties.
“Being somewhat frustrated with the
quality of the RV resorts I’ve visited, I’ve
realized it’s time to get into the RV resort
business,” Geisler said, who’s not all that
impressed with the accuracy of the ratings
delivered by today’s campground directories. As a result, he says he’s “spent a little
over $2 million in the last three years doing
a large amount of research in the market —
and we’ve developed one of the best
resorts you’ll see.”
The Fountains of St. Augustine, Fla.,
slated to open later this year, will be the first
of many high-end Class A motorcoach resorts to open across the U.S. under ‘The
Fountains’ banner, a new brand of luxury
motorcoach resorts introduced by The Devcon Group, which plans to build and acquire parks.

Parks Catering to Annual Snowbird Carefree Adds 13 Ontario Parks to its
Migration Feted in Latest Directory Portfolio of Canadian Campgrounds
The Good Sam RV Travel Guide and
Campground Directory has released its list
of ‘Top Snowbird Parks’ for 2014. Located
across the warm-weather band that
stretches from California to the southeast,
each of the 53 ‘Top Snowbird Parks’ was recognized for activities, services and comforts
tailored to travelers who often stay in their
Sun Belt roosts for months at a time.
As noted by the directory, parks on the list
accommodate snowbird travelers with luxuries that include pools, spas, fitness centers
or golf courses. They also generally cultivate
vibrant winter communities that offer social
events, classes and tours to surrounding attractions. “Snowbirds” generally follow
north-south travel patterns, and annual
snowbird migration dramatically alters the
demographics of some winter communities.
For example, the population of Yuma, Ariz.,
grows from 60,000 to more than 120,000 when
snowbird season rolls around. It’s estimated
than more than one million RVers make the
trek south to the Sun Belt every winter.
Top Snowbird Parks as highlighted in the
directory include:

of Carefree Communities
Carefree Communities Inc. expanded its presence in the Ontario,
Canada, market with the acquisition of

Indiana Beach Owners Morgan Recreation Vacations
Dispute Rumors of Difficulties, Insist All Is Well
Indiana Beach, which was opened by Earl Spackman in 1926, now
pumps an estimated $60 million into the local Monticello, Ind., economy.
Residents in north-central Indiana are concerned
about the health of the amusement park, campgrounds and rental accommodations, which pump
$60 million into the local economy each year
rumors, it’s unsettling.”
Despite those rumors, Morgan RV CEO
and owner Bob Moser, of Sarasota, N.Y.,
said any talk of financial trouble related
to Indiana Beach or Morgan RV is false.
Beyond that, Moser said, it’s just plain
frustrating.
“At times, it feels like you’re getting
kicked in the knees,” Moser said of the rumors. “We’re trying, we really are. ...
You’re not going to make everyone happy,
but I’m trying here.”
Layoffs and Shutoffs
Earl Spackman founded Ideal Beach on
Lake Shafer in 1926. In 1945, Thomas
Spackman, his son, took over. He changed
the name to Indiana Beach seven years
later.
During his tenure, Spackman secured
the park’s place as the major funnel of
tourist dollars into the Monticello economy.
Spackman announced his intent to sell
the park in 2001, said Cathy Juntgen, one
of his two daughters and Steve Juntgen’s
wife.
“It took a long time to find a buyer,”
Cathy Juntgen said. “We had maybe three
or four other people interested. Unfortunately, we didn’t know Morgan that well
— and their situation. Unfortunately, they
ended up being the buyers.”
The sale, for an unspecified sum, was
announced in 2008. At the time, Tom
Spackman called it a “good deal for the
community.”
Included in the deal was a guarantee
that Cathy Juntgen would be employed at
the park for at least a year after the sale.
She was a campground manager with the
company before being laid off, along with
her husband, in October 2010. She was rehired the following year.
Juntgen eventually quit last May, saying her job had become less about campground management and more about
“collection and sales.”
Will Indiana Beach Amusement Resort,
central Indiana’s beloved summer attraction, open next summer, as it has every
year for the past 87 seasons?
The company that purchased the
amusement park in 2008, Morgan Recreation Vacations, says the answer is an unequivocal “yes.”
“I’ve only been there as general manager a couple years, but these rumors
crop up every year at this time,” Indiana
Beach General Manager Bob Gallagher
said. “We’re planning for the 2014 season
and actually looking forward to announcing some expansions.”
But some Monticello business owners
and former employees of the park — including relatives of Tom Spackman, the
late, longtime park owner — aren’t so
sure. They tell of layoffs of non-seasonal
employees inside the park, utilities shut off
for lack of payment and souring relation-
ships between the park and Monticelloarea businesses. Across the country,
other Morgan RV-owned parks and facilities have been sold or fallen into foreclosure, raising local anxieties even further.
“They destroyed, in one year, what the
Spackmans developed in 85 years,” said
Steve Juntgen, a former park employee
and one of Tom Spackman’s sons-in-law.
Hanging in the balance — apart from
fond memories and summertime diversions — is an estimated $60 million that Indiana Beach pumps into the Monticello
economy each year.
“It’s a hard time for us as a community
because we lost (Tom) Spackman this
year,” said Janet Dold, executive director
of the Monticello Chamber of Commerce,
referring to Spackman’s death in November at the age of 100. “The tradition of Indiana Beach and the legacy of it is in the
forefront of our minds. When we do hear

Kampgrounds of America operators will
have three new ways to save on the purchase of new KOA Deluxe Cabins in 2014.
KOA Senior Vice President Jef Sutherland announced during the 2014 KOA Annual International Convention in Austin a
new, innovative program to encourage KOA
owners to add more deluxe cabins to their
campground inventories.
“We know from experience that deluxe
cabins are a hugely popular way to camp
and have opened our campground to an
entirely new market,” Sutherland said.
The new plan has three facets:
• KOA owners who add KOA-approved
deluxe cabins to their campgrounds will not
have to pay royalties on those new units for
one year after first use if the unit is purchased in 2014.
• KOA owners adding deluxe cabins will
receive a factory rebate of from $500 to
$1,000 per unit, depending on the manufacturer, the model and the options offered.
• Independence Bank – a longtime financier of KOA campground improvements
— is offering a 10-year financing plan, on
approved credit.
“Our goal is to help our KOA owners
capitalize on what we know if a wonderful

14-Park-Strong Legacy RV Resorts Covers RV Show Orders Boost Production
the Full Camping Experience Spectrum at Palm Harbor Homes’ Plant City
A subsidiary of Cavco Industries, Palm Harbor Homes’ Florida
division has boosted employment 25% to keep up with demand
Palm Harbor Homes’ Pacific Lodge
Legacy RV Resorts offer a variety of camping experiences, depending upon park location.
‘It gives guests the opportunity to enjoy our parks
in many different ways, even getting some that
have never RVed an opportunity to experience that
lifestyle. Many guests come back and try something else,’ said Legacy’s Bruce Bryant
Unlike many RV resort and campground companies, Legacy RV Resorts
isn’t focused on just one segment of the RV
industry. Instead, it caters to snowbirds in
some of its parks, is more family-oriented
in others, and yet still other parks in its
portfolio are destination RV parks. What
that means for the company headed by
Bruce Bryant is that customer service is
the key ingredient.
“The No. 1 thing is customer service,
being guest-friendly,” Bryant said. “When a
guest visits one of our parks and then travels to another, he should see the same
guest-friendly attention and cleanliness.”
Bryant said it wasn’t difficult to learn
each segment and find out what was
wanted, because in the end, when people
are on vacation, they want to have a good
time, be catered to and have the resort staff
treat them personally.
Bryant, who purchased his first RV park
in Grassy Key, Fla., in 1986, had never been
in the RV business before. Initially, his interest was piqued to buy property in Florida
after visiting a friend in the cold winter
months from his home in Vermont. He understood the draw to get away from the
long winters north and began looking for
property. He thought apartments would be
the way to go, but when he didn’t find what
he was looking for, he changed directions.
“I ended up with the RV park and enjoyed it and the lifestyle it offered, so I
bought more, and then more yet,” he said.

The annual Florida RV SuperShow in
Tampa in January was an important show for
Palm Harbor Homes, said Mark Kelly, vice
president of sales and marketing for Palm
Harbor Homes’ Florida division, which is
headquartered in Plant City.
“The orders we generate at the Tampa
show will have a direct impact on our production and employment levels for the next
several months,” said Kelly, as the company
makes park-model RVs for consumers and
campgrounds. So will other Florida RV and
home shows through early March, including
shows in Ft. Myers, Ocala, Jacksonville,
West Palm Beach, Estero and DeLand.
Sales from these shows translate into
jobs at Palm Harbor’s Plant City factory,
which has increased its workforce by
25% during the past year to more than 200
employees.
“We are doing more hiring and we expect
to hire more people throughout the year,”
Kelly said, adding that Palm Harbor plans to
expand production later this year.
In this context, the winter and spring RV
and home shows in Florida and across the
country can have a significant impact on
Palm Harbor’s business. Palm Harbor and its
parent company, Phoenix, Ariz.-based Cavco
Industries, attend RV and home shows
across the country.
Kelly said the improving economy is
boosting demand for Palm Harbor’s park
models, which are popular with snowbirds
from the northeast and Canada.
The Plant City company is also seeing rising demand from new and existing campgrounds and RV resorts that are wanting to
complement their RV spaces by selling or
renting Palm Harbor’s newest and most attractive units.
“That’s where the RV and home shows
come in,” said Randy Cater, district sales
manager for Palm Harbor in Plant City.
“These shows give us a chance to showcase our newest units so that consumers as
well as RV resort operators can see what
we’re capable of producing.”
New units on display at the Florida shows
include Palm Harbor’s 2014 Coastal Lodge
and Coastal Cottage models, with interiors
that feature laminate wood flooring, smooth
painted drywall, cathedral ceilings and optional clerestories. The Coastal Cottage
model also has optional lofts.
“We are also introducing several new
looks in 2014, including transom windows,
horizon windows and 10-by-12-foot ‘Lifestyle
Porches’ with Savannah posts and railing, a
recessed entry and exterior ceiling fan with
light, a flying gable and filigree,” Cater said.
“Our park models also feature Durabuilt
cabinets and generally include ceramic tile
floors or laminate flooring in our bathrooms
and kitchens instead of sheet or linoleum
flooring.” WCM

INSITES
Do You Build a New RV Park — or Buy an Old One?
David
Gorin
For some time, I’ve been on my soapbox talking about the need for new
product in the campground and RV
park business. Why are there so few
new parks being built? What’s the attraction to buying older parks and trying to modernize them to meet today’s
consumer desires?
Well, the last two weeks or so, I’ve
been hit between the eyes with two reallife opportunities that have challenged
and tested my ideas on new development vs. buying existing.
Here are the two scenarios. What
road is the best to pursue — developing
new in an “A”-grade location or buying
an existing park in a “B” or “C”
location?
Scenario One
The property is a 12-acre parcel located on a primary four-lane highway
less than a mile off an Interstate highway exit in southwest Florida. It’s about
nine miles from Gulf of Mexico beaches
in a very prominent tourist area. I’d
consider the location to be an A or an
A- at the very least.
The land is approved for 109 sites,
including RV sites and cabins, and has
no length-of-stay restrictions. Munici-
pal water and sewer serve the site. Directly across the highway is a major,
high-end residential area and golf club
and, about two miles down the highway,
is the entrance to a very large and very
successful residential, retail and recreational community. The curb appeal of
the property is very good to excellent.
About 10 years ago the property
owner and his son began building the
RV park. They developed 49 sites, all
about 40-foot-by-70-foot dimensions
with 50-amp electric. An attractive
entry road was completed and all the internal roads were asphalt-finished. Individual sites were not paved, however —
and the park has never operated as
such. The owner’s son was the developer and, unfortunately, the son passed
away suddenly. His father was devastated and for 10 years he could not
bring himself to either finish the project
or sell the property.
The seller is asking $2 million for the
property and the improvements and is
not interested in providing any financing. It is estimated that it will cost about
$3 million to complete the remaining
approved sites and rehabilitate the existing 49 sites. The existing roads need
to be resurfaced and the pedestals probably need to be replaced and electric
meters added. The site also needs a
swimming pool, restrooms, laundry and
a clubhouse of some kind.
Because of the quality of the location,
there is considerable demand for affordable RV sites. A review of the area indicates that monthly rental in the $500
range is reasonable and annual leases
could go for $4,500 to $5,000. The park
could be fully rented to RVs and park
models within 24 to 36 months.
Scenario Two
This property is a 12-acre parcel located on a just off a primary four-lane
highway about 15 miles from a major
Interstate highway exit in central
Florida. The property is located in a
mid-size city and is along a commercial
stretch of highway. While the area is
known for its equestrian farms and
there are many large equestrian estates
in the general area, the park is not located in that area.
Due to the commercial nature of the
adjacent property and the uncertainty of
future uses for the undeveloped land
across from the park, I’d consider the location to be a B- or a C. There’s also a
road passing along the rear of the park
that is now being expanded from two to
four lanes; how this will impact on traffic and noise along that part of the park
is uncertain.
This is an existing and operating RV
park with 104 RV sites and two parkmodel sites. There are no restrictions on
adding more park models and there are
no length-of-stay restrictions. The site
is served by municipal water, while
waste is handled with a septic system.
This park was developed in 1998 as
a sales and marketing tool for an RV
dealership that is located adjoining the
RV park. The dealership has used sites
in the park for its customers taking delivery on a new RV or coming for service. It provides up to three nights for
buyers of units and provides drivingand RV-maintenance lessons during that
time.
The RV park is accessed via a road
that runs alongside the dealership; there
is also direct access from the park into
the dealership. The land opposite the
dealership along this road is vacant.
The internal roads are paved, as are
all of the sites. There is a 4000-squarefoot combination office, store, clubhouse, restrooms and laundry. This
building is in good condition. There is
a small, fenced-in swimming pool with
a nice sun deck next to the clubhouse.
The seller is asking $2.1 million, and
is offering to finance about $1.5 million
at 5.5%, 30 years amortization with a
10-year balloon.
In 2012, the park grossed approximately $330,000 including store sales
(amount unknown) and about $84,000
in rent from the RV dealership for the
use of the sites. Revenue was about
$3,000 per site. Occupancy from December to April runs about 85% and
rental rates are in keeping with the surrounding area parks.
There are 10 sites that are occupied
on an annual basis. It is estimated that
there is about $350,000 in deferred
maintenance including upgrading the
restrooms, resurfacing the roads and
sites and adding electric meters to each
site. The park is rated 9/8/8 by Good
Sam.
Based on the above — and assuming
that financing was available for each
scenario — which route would you
take? Buy and develop the A property in
a solid location but no current cash
flow, or buy and upgrade the B/C property in a marginal location but with
existing cash flow?

MODERN MARKETING
If Your Social Media Isn’t Dialed In, What’s the Point?
Evanne
Schmarder
To market your park, you’re on Facebook, Twitter, considering Pinterest and
are interested in video marketing and
starting up an email-marketing program. Chances are you’ve been told you
must be visible on all of these platforms
— staying out front, top of mind and
engaging with your customers and
prospects. You work hard, racking your
brain for something to say, and are still
a bit befuddled by the perfect time to
post.
In this scenario a couple things may
be happening: One, you’re posting just
to get something out there; or, Two,
you’re sporadic, posting haphazardly
when the guilt of not being present appears on your radar screen. Do you
know the feeling?
Business owners falling into both of
these categories are often falsely comforted by the fact that “at least they have
a social media presence,” a some-is-better-than-none approach. Unfortunately,
the old adage “showing up is half the
battle” was surely not uttered by a digital marketer.
My question then becomes, “what’s
the point?” Why are you online, spend-
ing precious time, money, and effort if
you are not dialed into a specific outcome? Avoid the “of course, I want
more business” line. “More business”
might sound like a goal — but it’s really
a cop-out target. More business compared to what? From whom? When?
You must do the hard work in advance
and know expressly what you want out
of your digital marketing program in
order to succeed online.
Perhaps you’d like your efforts to
bring about a greater awareness of the
industry, your brand, your product or
your promotions. Or, you may be shooting for a well-calculated number of visits to a specific landing page on your
website with a percentage of conversions (bookings), or seeking a particular
number of engagements and shares. Regardless of what your goals are for your
digital marketing program, you must
think them through and note them —
preferably in writing — at the onset of
your program or you most certainly will
struggle along the way.
Begin with the end in mind
Followers of the late Steven Covey
know this as one of the “Seven Habits
of Highly Effective People.” Although
Covey’s book by the same name came
out in 1989, you might have thought he
wrote this habit specifically with digital
marketers in mind.
A clear picture of what success looks
like will provide you a much more
concise pathway to success. To reach
that endpoint you must be brutally honest in your assessment of how to get
there, asking yourself what you want to
derive from your efforts online and how
practical your vision truly is. Do you
have the time, money, skill or staff
to conduct a successful digital marketing program? Can you suss out the
platforms that match your target
market and maximize your communications?
A successful digital marketing program requires constant care and
feeding. Step back and review what
your online marketing program and
your participation looks like. Are you
active and achieving your goals on
every platform on which you have a
presence? Is your content meaningful or
just placeholder chatter? Do you feel
like a hamster on a wheel or are you
seeing return on your investment
(whatever you’ve chosen that to be?) As
important as new and relevant content,
are you allocating time to engage
and respond to your audience’s comments, concerns and compliments?
Don’t forget, it’s called “social” media
for a reason.
Based upon your responses, it might
be wise to pivot, choose one or two platforms that are performing for you or
you feel matches your audience, and
concentrate on doing the very best possible job on each. If you have any underperformers, let them go (or at least
suspend them for the time being), eschew the “next big thing,” and concentrate on becoming an expert where you
market. Doing an outstanding job on a
few handpicked platforms is far better
than being mediocre on many.
10 - February 2014
The Seven ‘Ps’
While you might think I’m referring
to the seven marketing “Ps” I’m really
talking about the military “Ps” and their
appropriateness in your digital marketing program. In case you are unfamiliar
with the acronym, it stands for: Proper
Prior Planning Prevents P*ss Poor
Performance.
In other words, without a content
plan you’re most likely tossing out messages that don’t matter — squandering
an opportunity to communicate something that resonates with your audience.
Proper prior planning is a time-consuming exercise — but when you take the
time to develop meaningful content before the crazy days of the season, you’ll
be much more likely to reach your
specific goals.
Instead of enduring the pressure to
produce a post on the fly, create content
(posts or at minimum an editorial calendar) shaped from customer comment
cards, social media posts or other customer communications, most popular
activities or amenities, money-saving
specials or other snippets that your customers have told you — in one way or
another — is important to them.
Time is money — and digital marketing has the potential to take up a significant portion of your day. As you work
through your 2014-’15 marketing plan,
set actionable and realistic goals, craft
meaningful communications and keep
the 7Ps in mind.
With digital marketing you’re either
in or you’re out; in between just doesn’t
make the grade. Carefully choose where
to participate, what to say, and make
every effort to build a marketing tool
that shines for your business — or
really, what’s the point?

43-Cabin-Strong Yogi on the Lake is Made for Reunions
Reports from
the field:
Bob Ashley
Yogi on the Lake, a Jellystone Park
Camp-Resort in Pelahatchie, Miss., is a
place, of course, for families and kids. And
during the vacation months it draws plenty
of those.
But it’s more than a “somewhere for
parents and grandparents to bring children
to be entertained by Yogi Bear and Boo Boo
Bear,” and enjoy its amenities.
It’s also for extended families looking to
hold reunions who will find that Yogi on
the Lake’s 43 cabins can accommodate
groups large and small. And, in the winter
and shoulder seasons, the park with 137
RV sites 30 miles east of Jackson is a way
station for snowbirds.
“The winter is a quiet season,” said
Susan Sparkman, who has managed the
park with her husband, David, for two
seasons.
Of course, Yogi and Boo Boo, along with
many planned activities and a movie every
night, are Yogi on the Lake’s primary attraction for kids during the summer.
“One or both, Yogi and Boo Boo are out
three times a day during the season,”
Sparkman said. “We have fun with the
kids. They really get into Yogi and they stay
busy when they are here.”
Yogi on the Lake features a small children’s waterpark and an infinity pool that
extends into 95-acre Pelahatchie Lake.
Initially a state park, the land later was
managed by the VFW and then sold to a
private owner who started developing it.
Since 2007, it has been a Yogi park franchised by Cincinnati-area-based Leisure
Systems Inc.
“We get older people in here all the time
who say that they learned how to swim in
the lake when they were kids,” Sparkman
said.
Most of the park’s 60 summertime employees are college students, including
eight each summer through the Center for
Cultural Interchange that brings foreign
students to the U.S. for the summer. Interchange students from Jamaica, China,
Turkey and Maldovia have worked at the
park.
In the winter the park trims down to a
dozen employees or so, some of whom
work part-time. “Winter is the quiet season,” Sparkman said. “We have a skeleton
crew and we don’t bring out the bears or
do the activities.”
Moving into winter mode the last weekend closest to Halloween, the park in October features a haunted trail through the
nearby woods and has kids plant seeds in
a “magical pumpkin patch” — who then
find fully grown pumpkins have sprouted
overnight.
Cabins range from rustic to a three-bedroom lodge that will sleep a dozen without
having to put anyone on the floor. With
the exceptions of the rustic cabins, all are
equipped with bathrooms and kitchens.
“Some of the two-bedroom cabins overlook the lake, so they go very fast,” Sparkman said.
A fire last year required one cabin to be
rebuilt at which time another cabin was
added, Sparkman reported.
Although renters need to bring their
own linens and bedding, such a large number of cabins are labor-intensive. “We have
to stay up on the cabins,” she said. “We
need a full house-keeping crew in the summer.”
Reunions that book RV sites and cabins
are so prolific that one employee is devoted
fulltime to coordinating the gatherings.
*****
With Mardi Gras approaching, Carol
While its wealth of amenities draws families throughout the summer, Yogi on the Lake also
boasts 43 cabins — making it a popular location for staging large reunions.
Bordelon, owner of Pine Crest RV Park
of New Orleans with her son, Chuck Bordelon, were looking for a busy time at their
Slidell, La., campground.
“We’ve had the best reservations since
(Hurricane) Katrina,” said Carol Bordelon.
“But it’s never been the same as before Katrina.”
Indeed, the Bordelons are using just
about 100 of the 200 campsites the park
had before Katrina ravaged the New Orleans area nine years ago.
She’s pleased with reservations, she said,
despite increased competition during
Mardi Gras, particularly. “They rent a football stadium and fill it with RVs and shuttle
them to the French Quarter,” she said.
“That’s something that wasn’t always
there.”
New Orleans is an attraction for most of
the RVers who register at the park 35 miles
northwest of NOLA on the other side of
Lake Ponchartraine. “Most of our tourists
come here to go to New Orleans,” Bordelon
said. “They don’t want to sit around a pool
all day.”
Situated in a pine tree grove, a handful
of sites are next to a small lake. Pine Crest’s
office that was rebuilt after Katrina contains a 4,000-square-foot pavilion with a
full kitchen.
The park’s visitors mostly are retirees,
although there’s a smattering of folks who
are in the area to visit relatives.
Although Pine Crest has only about half
the sites it did before the hurricane, the
park is at the ready for better times.
“We keep everything mowed and taken
care of,” Bordelon said.
*****
Thirty minutes from the Gulf of Mexico
Coast, Hilltop RV Park in Robertsdale,
Ala., also is looking forward to Mardi Gras
in cities other than New Orleans.
“We do road trips with our people to
various sites like Bellingrath Gardens and
the National Museum of Naval Aviation
and to restaurants where they might usually go,” said Judy Buckingham, who has
managed the park for eight years with her
husband, Charles. “And we also do Mardi
Gras parades in Pensacola, Mobile, Gulf
Shores and other places. Almost every city
has a Mardi Gras parade and we have a
Mardi Gras party here at the campground.”
The park has grown in size from 64 to
87 sites while the Buckinghams have been
managers there.
Winter is Hilltop’s peak season with an
average temperature of 51 degrees.
“We are not normally as busy during
the summer, but we have some construction workers who stay here who work at
the Austal shipyards in Mobile,” she said.
So far, the winter season has been busy.
“Business is good,” Buckingham said.
“We have a lot of repeats that come back
every year. Although we aren’t 55-plus,
people seem to think we are. We are not
child-oriented. It’s a nice quiet park.”

Delegate Park Responsibilities by Partnering Locally
Peter
Pelland
Any business owner who is destined to
succeed soon discovers the importance of
delegating responsibilities. First and foremost, this means hiring and assembling a
14 - February 2014
team of employees who can be trusted to
not only carry your philosophy forward
but to bring it to the next level through independent thinking. You simply cannot do
everything yourself — nor can your staff
do everything itself. For this reason, there
will be instances when it will make sense
to delegate responsibilities beyond your
staff itself, subcontracting to other businesses for your mutual advantage.
When you give it some thought, you are
probably already engaged in this sort of
partnering without being fully aware of the
process. For example, it may make more
sense to buy attractively packaged, bundled
firewood that is delivered to your door and
that you can sell at a healthy profit margin
in your store than it is to delegate staff
members to thin trees or remove dead timber from your park, cut it to fireplace
length, split it and store it for sale. If you
have a game room, it may make more sense
to lease the latest and most popular arcade
games from a local distributor than it is to
purchase and maintain games yourself,
soon finding yourself with a roomful of obsolete machines — many with “Out of
Order” signs — that nobody wants to play.
On a recent business trip to Florida, we
stayed at the Vista Cay Resort in Orlando.
Much to my initial surprise, a resort employee did not man the concierge desk.
Rather, it was operated by the Local Expert
division of Expedia. Currently, Expedia
Local Expert is operating concierge desks
at leading hotels and resorts in Hawaii,
Mexico, Orlando, Las Vegas and New York
City. The properties avoid hiring a
concierge staff and lease out the desk space,
while Expedia earns commissions from the
restaurants, tour operators and attractions
that are on their list of preferred referrals.
The Expedia employees are friendly, welltrained and knowledgeable about the local
area, allowing them to provide accurate information about driving directions and
transportation services.
According to an article in the Wall Street
Journal, Expedia is far from the only player
in the concierge industry, with others including New York Guest and Travelocity.
Some of these outsourced concierge services pay as much as $10,000 per month for
the privilege of occupying lobby-desk
space in a leading hotel — and the hotels
save as much as $50,000 per year in salary
that would be paid to an in-house employee. Many major hotel chains are converting, or at least experimenting, with this
arrangement. At the same time, most consumers are unaware of the transition, since
the outsourced staff members typically
wear hotel uniforms and have the outward
appearance of being hotel employees.
Another example of a business partnership that would be unheard of until recently involves America’s public libraries
and Redbox. If you have visited a public library in recent years, you know that things
have dramatically changed since you were
a child. More and more people are visiting
public libraries for Internet access and to
check out movies and games on DVD,
rather than borrowing books. Although declining due to the rising popularity of
streaming content, a significant percentage
of patrons identify their public library as
their primary source of movie rentals. According to an online report in The Digital
Shift, “dollar for dollar, DVDs are the highest circulating category of items in the New
York Public Library system.”
With those statistics in mind, the familiar Redbox rental boxes are appearing outside of more and more public libraries,
adding an expanded service for the library
(even though not contributing to circulation) and offering patrons 24-hour access
to these materials. Beyond that starting
point, Redbox also has introduced a pilot
program called “Outside the Box,” partnering with the Online Computer Library
Center to launch library-based community-entertainment resources in various
cities. Yes, this defines the concept of “outside the box” thinking.
As a campground owner, I challenge
you to think of new ideas that will allow
you to run your business more efficiently,
professionally and cost-effectively — particularly when it comes to special events
and theme weekends. Whether you generally do things yourself, pay staff members
or rely upon volunteers (typically your seasonal campers), there are advantages to
subcontracting certain services. By doing
so, you will ensure that things are done
right, that positive impressions will be created in the eyes of your guests and that an
event will generate return business in subsequent years.
For example: you are probably already
hiring professional bands, DJs and entertainers — what about caterers for foodbased events? There are mobile barbecue
services that can be found just about anywhere. Thinking about a wine tasting?
There are local wineries in all 50 states, and
many would be happy to run your event.
Do you celebrate Christmas in July?
How about hiring a professional Santa, instead of having somebody wearing a fake
beard and a cheap suit that doesn’t fit?
There is little demand for Santas outside of
December, and you might be surprised at
how little this might cost.
Start thinking of ways that you can delegate responsibilities like these to local
businesses. You will benefit, they will benefit and — together — you might discover
additional ways in which both of your
businesses may benefit.

How Can a Private Park Operator Handle the Hurdles Everyone
Faces? RVC Outdoor Destinations May Have the Answer
RVC Outdoor Destination’s portfolio of high-end resorts includes Live Oak Landing, situated near Destin, Fla.
‘We’re like ‘angel investors’ with operational expertise in the campground and
outdoor-hospitality business,’ said Andy Cates, RVC’s CEO and general partner. ‘A lot of existing, very-high-quality outdoor-hospitality properties are
seeking resources and help and more capacity, capital and marketing support.
They want partners, but they don’t necessarily want to be a franchise.’
Private park operators often know what
they need to do to improve their operations
and expand their customer base, particularly if they attend educational seminars organized by state and national campground
industry associations.
The challenge is often money.
Many private park operators simply cannot generate enough net income to implement the improvements they need to make
— or they have difficulties finding commercial lenders who understand their businesses well enough to provide them with
the amount of capital they require.
Park operators may also lack expertise
in certain areas. They may be terrific at running the front desk or maintaining their
park’s facilities, but may have difficulty
marketing their park successfully through
every medium from social media to traditional print, radio and television. Some may
do well with RV and tent sites, but find
themselves challenged when it comes to
properly managing their rental accommodations.
Andy Cates understands these dilemmas.
As CEO and general partner of Memphis, Tenn.-based RVC Outdoor Destinations, Cates oversees a network of 10
private parks in eight states that the company has developed into “Marriott-” or
“Hilton-level” resorts. These include resorts
that RVC has overhauled with millions of
dollars’ worth of upgrades as well as RV Resorts and Outdoor Destinations that RVC
has expanded or built from the ground-up.
In most cases, RVC owns its resorts out-
Campers enjoy the more arid environment at Medina Highpoint Resort in Medina, Texas.

right. But in some cases, RVC is a business
partner with existing park owners who
need the financial backing and operational
support that Cates and his team can provide.
“We’re like ‘angel investors’ with operational expertise in the campground and
outdoor-hospitality business,” Cates said,
adding that RVC is actively looking for operators of high-quality properties who need
the investment capital and operational support that RVC can provide — or who simply want to be a part of something larger.
Of course, Cates is not looking to partner with just any park. He’s looking for
parks that have the potential to become the
Hiltons and Marriotts of the campground
industry.
“We’re spending time with existing
owners of high-quality properties who want
to align with a bigger group that brings
more resources,” Cates said. “A lot of existing, very-high-quality outdoor-hospitality
properties are seeking resources and help
and more capacity, capital and marketing
support. They want partners, but they don’t
necessarily want to be a franchise. These are
parks that do not fit easily into a Yogi, KOA
or ELS model. The reality is there is not a
Hilton or a Marriott option in the campground business. But we’re not a Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton, either. We’re Hilton or
Marriott. Although we offer a high-quality
product, it is reachable to most consumers.”
Cates added that many park owners are
not interested in being a straight franchisee.
“But we think there is a major win to provide these owners with operating support,
our flag and our capital,” he said.
Indeed, and parks that participate with
RVC become a part of the RVC family. They
can still keep their original name and identity, but they are marketed as an RVC property.
“This is a fragmented industry that
hasn’t seen significant change in 40 years,”
Cates said. “But the individual entrepreneurial owners are often very good operators. We just think it needs to be clearer to
the guests what they’re getting. Our approach allows the industry to discriminate
with rates and not leave the guests in the
dark.”
RVC has been driving change in the industry since it was founded in 2007, but it
has been growing with this joint venture
concept since late 2012 and Cates plans to
expand his outreach and support for potential partner properties over the next couple
of years.
“There is no one who is doing what
we’re doing at any level, including with regard to joint ventures,” Cates said, adding
that RVC is backing its joint ventures with
millions of dollars of private investment
and expertise derived through its own ownership and management of resorts in eight
states, including Colorado, Texas, Florida,
Georgia, Arkansas and Pennsylvania.
While franchise opportunities exist for
parks with Kampgrounds of America
(KOA) and Leisure Systems Inc. (LSI),
which franchises Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts, Cates said it’s up to each franchisee
to come up with capital and to provide their
own staffing.
“We’re the only ones that will go in and
provide capital and branding along with an
operating platform, but not demand that we
acquire the entire property,” Cates said,
Like all RVC properties, Medina Highpoint Resort also includes lush, high-end amenities.
Woodall’s Campground Management
Expansive RV sites at Pine Mountain make the most of their natural surroundings.
adding, “We would be a phone call worth
having for any owner of a high-quality outdoor-hospitality property.”
So far, RVC has joint ventures with two
resorts. These include River Plantation RV
Resort in Sevierville, Tenn. and Lake
Raystown Family Resort in Entriken,
Penn.
“Although our owner partners remain
involved, we have different levels of oversight and daily operational control for each
property,” Cates said. “Both property owners seek input and consultation from us on
everything from budgets to buying, and we
have learned a great deal from them as well.
We are very creative in how we structure
each individual opportunity and if it isn’t a
win-win, we don’t pursue it.”
What RVC does and what individual
property owners do depends on the relative
strengths of the existing resort. But Cates
finds that RVC’s partners and potential partners often need support with marketing.
“Marketing is a labor-intensive distraction that is obviously critical to the health
of the resort,” he said. “We have full-time
team members who do website updates,
search engine optimization, social media,
ad placement and public relations.”
RVC, for its part, derives the majority of
its joint venture income from a portion of
its partners’ net operating income.
“We structure a management fee that’s
below market and we take a proportion of
the incremental net operating income that
we help create. We don’t charge any other
fees and we pass on any savings or revenueproducing ideas directly,” Cates said,
adding that RVC also brings buying power
that spells immediate financial benefits to
its partners. “We fight above our weight
with regard to the resources and buying
power we bring to the table,” he said.
“We anticipate strong growth in joint
ventures the next couple of years, but we

continue to seek acquisitions, redevelopment opportunities, and land for new development,” Cates said.
RVC’s recent focus on joint ventures also
reflects the fact that it’s a lot easier to redevelop and improve existing parks than to
build brand-new resorts from the groundup, he said.
In each of its resorts, RVC is targeting the
high end of the market, a niche of the market not specifically targeted by existing
franchise chains. RVC equips its resorts

“vertical” rental accommodations, which
include cabins and furnished yurts. But the
company’s resorts do not have a cookie-cutter pattern.
Some, like Mountain Springs Cabins in
Asheville, N.C., may have site-built cabins;
others, high-end park models built by
Champion Homes or elegant climate-controlled yurts that RVC installs itself.
“Each property in our collection is
unique and has very special settings that are
consistent with the flavor of their particular
market,” he said.
RVC is also continually adding RV sites
and rental accommodations to its existing
properties as they grow.
Cates said building Hilton- or Marriottlevel RV resorts is a worthwhile pursuit and
that RVC’s efforts are being supported and
endorsed in the “extraordinarily high” ratings the company’s properties receive in
guest surveys.
Cates added that while RVC’s resorts are
at the high end of the market, their rates are
not out of line. “We think our value proposition is the best in the industry,” Cates said.
“We are providing a high-quality product at
a very attractive price. Once we get guests
to our resorts one time, they come back.”
Looking to the future, Cates said RVC
will continue to grow the company’s jointventure concept. “Our effort right now,”
Cates said, “is not only about how to grow
with the right partners, but really to pick
our battles with the properties we choose
and the markets we go into.” —Jeff

Legacy RV Resorts —from page 6
After continuing to add parks to his
properties, Bryant realized he needed an
‘umbrella brand’ so people could identify
the parks and their relationship to each
other. So, Legacy was born.
Early in his RV business, Bryant owned
three parks in the Florida Keys area. Today,
his 14 parks do not include any in that area.
Legacy does, however, have three parks in
other areas in Florida, as well as two in Missouri, and one park each in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, North
Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Mississippi and Wisconsin.
Office at one of Legacy’s LSI-franchised
parks blends into its surroundings.
The 14 parks’ focuses are different, and
there are other differences from one Legacy
park to another. In addition to RV sites,
some parks include cabins, some condos,
some motels and some even with rental
houses.
“It gives guests the opportunity to enjoy
our parks in many different ways, even giving some that have never RVed an opportunity to experience that lifestyle,” Bryant
said. “Many guests come back and try
something else.”
Whether guests bring their own RV or
stay in a condo, the one thing they soon understand, Bryant said, is that they are given
the opportunity to be outside. When at an
RV park or campground that is the lifestyle,
and everyone loves to sit by the campfire.
Legacy’s park portfolio includes both
stand-alone independent locations and
franchises to two of the largest campground
organizations in the country. Two parks —
Gulf Pines RV Park KOA in Milton, Fla.,
and Colorado Springs KOA, located near
Garden of the Gods and the Air Force Academy — operate under the Kampgrounds of
America umbrella.
Five others are franchises with Leisure
Systems Inc., the franchise company for
Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts:
Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Warrens,
Warrens, Wis.; Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park
at Shangri-La, Milton, Pa..; Yogi Bear’s
Jellystone Park Cherokee, Cherokee,
N.C.; Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park CampResort, Pelahatchie, Miss.; and Lone Star
Yogi, Waller, Tex.
Each, when possible, offers a camping
experience in keeping with its location. For
example, the Cherokee park, in the Smoky
Mountains, has the trout-stocked RavenFork River running the entire length of the
campground.
Among Legacy’s other parks are: Lake
Ridge RV Resort in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Hillsville, Vir.; Navarre Beach
Campground, Navarre, Fla. on Florida’s
Gulf Coast; Miami Everglades Resort,
Miami, Fla., just 10 miles from Everglades
National Park; Basswood Resort, Platte

The Fountains —from page 3
The Devcon Group set up a subsidiary,
Ameri Motorcoach Resorts, as part of the
years-long process to get the brand off the
ground. The studies helped develop the
brand and they assessed “what the market
will support and really took a look at this
from many different aspects of use,” Geisler
said. “We wanted to see what the industry
does right, see what the industry does
wrong.
“We’re very excited with where we are
and are excited to see what happens,” he
said.
The Fountains model calls for high-end
facilities driven by membership, he said.
According to company literature, The
Fountains of St. Augustine property is described in glowing terms. “Beautiful
grounds and luxurious amenities are not the
only factors that set The Fountains apart

ers and guests making it the prime location
for the first resort of its kind.”
Since announcing the resort, Geisler
said the response has been significant.
“We’ve got 200, 300 people already
excited,” he said.
They’re not ready to announce future locations, but Geisler said the company already has seven properties in hand in resort
areas across the U.S. for future resorts
It will be rolled out across the United States
in locations with heavy tourism traffic.
Whether you’re in Dallas, San Antonio —
wherever you see the name Fountains, that
will be our brand of RV resorts. It’s going to
be a brand that’s going to really cater towards the Class A RV driver,” he said.
The amenities planned for all of their resorts, according to the company, include:
• Coach Houses or “Casitas” with full
kitchens, baths and living/theatre rooms.
• Full resort spa and fitness facilities,
swimming pools and hot tubs.
• Booking and vendor services for
cruises or for other resorts such as Disney,
Sea World, Busch Gardens and Universal
Studios.
• Amphitheater for movies with capability for artist bookings and performances.
• Personal concierge services for maids,
laundry, dry cleaning, personal errands.
• A convenience/grocery store, gift shop,
lounge, Internet cafe, grille, or sandwich
shop.
• Rental facilities for boats, wave runners, all-terrain vehicles, beach and fishing
equipment.
• Cabanas and fire pits, sport courts, putting greens, mini-golf, dog park and dog day
care.

“Our other projects will come closely behind that, but in 2014 the first phase of the
St. Augustine property will be ready. The
other properties will start coming,” he said.
There will be a distinct “Fountains” feel
and quality level, but each will have some
local flavor, Geisler added.
“We looked at the industry as a whole
for a non-RV model, then we looked at the
Mariott model, the Westin model and we
pulled what we liked of them, then we put
our special touch on them

When they look at future resorts, they’ll
consider putting in amenities — like golf
courses — if the location calls for it, he
said.
Geisler is confident it’s a business model
with a future.
Looking at “the backed-up demand
that’s in the industry right now for Class A
coaches that have not even been built yet,”
he said, “we believe there’s a five-year

to put in the marketplace, we haven’t put a
limit on it. I’m going to say it’s going to go
up into the teens,” Geisler noted.
“We will continue to acquire. We will either acquire RV parks in existing locations
that have poor management, or we will start
from scratch. We do not have a timeline
as to how many or when. It will be driven by
market demand,” he said. –Justin Leighty

CAMPGROUNDPROFILE
Once Subsidized, Quasi-Government-Owned Santee Lakes
Recreation Preserve Turns Self-Sufficient — In a Big Way
Accommodations at Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve & Campground include 10 cabins — seven waterfront and three “floating.”
Nestled in the mountains about 20
minutes outside of San Diego, Santee
Lakes Recreation Preserve & Campground in Santee, Calif., recently received the 2013 Large Park of the Year
and Plan It Green awards from the National Association of RV Parks &
Campgrounds (ARVC) for excellence in
business and environmentally conscious
practices. The 190-acre property includes seven stocked lakes, 300 fullhookup RV sites, 312 RV storage sites
and 10 cabins — seven waterfront and
three “floating” — with full kitchens,
flat-screen TV’s and climate control.
In looking at what’s different about
this campground, the first peculiarity is
its location — it’s smack in the middle
of a densely residential area. “When we
call ourselves ‘San Diego’s Best Backyard,’ we’re typically being serious because we really are in people’s back
yards,” said Johnathan Skinner, director of Santee Lakes. In the same vein of
literalism, when the campground’s website proclaims there’s “something for
everyone,” they mean that too: You can
go for a few hours or a few months. You
can park your RV for winter storage or
park your tush for fishing. You can get
wet or you can get married. Santee Lakes
likes to be all things to all people.
This might describe plenty of campgrounds in North America, but there are
a few things that stand out about this
place, such as Santee Lakes’ efforts to
allow people of all capabilities to enjoy
the park. Handicapped-friendly cabins
are available and children with disabilities can play at the Kiwanis Playground.
The local Lions Club helped coordinate
the construction of Lions Pier, where
wheelchair-bound visitors can safely and
easily enjoy fishing from the wellstocked lakes, and the Lions Sensory
Garden for the visually impaired. This
garden features plants and flowers that
are fragrant and interesting to touch,
such as spearmint, rosemary, pineapple
sage, English lavender and plump Arctic
roses. Plaques in Braille and English dot
the garden to tell visitors about the

plants with which they’re interacting.
Another thing that’s quite unusual
about Santee Lakes is its ownership and
management structure. While the property is technically government-owned
them off.
“From the time that it opened, there
were funds coming in from the water
district to help fund the lakes, but in
1999 the board of directors said, ‘You
Santee Lakes has elevated recycling to an art form: two million gallons of water are
recycled daily, while 14,000 solar panels generate a million kilowatts a year.
under the Padre Dam Municipal Water
District umbrella, it does not receive any
government funds. “We’re a quasi-government entity, but we don’t receive any
taxpayer money,” Skinner said. “All the
money we operate on is money that’s
generated here at the park.”
As Skinner tells it, about 50 years ago,
the Santee Water District’s water recycling plant sent recycled water out of the
area until local city engineer Ray Stoyer
worked with local businesses to take
quarry pits and turn them into holding
ponds so the water could be used in Santee for things like irrigation. Stoyer also
worked with environmentalists to develop ways to use the area for recreation
and create a bird and fish sanctuary. As a
result, Santee Lakes opened up in 1961,
and it grew as a local recreation spot and
campground over the years.
And then, after decades of successful
park growth and use, something strange
happened — the owners essentially cut
About Santee Lakes’ Sustainability Efforts
Solar Energy
• 14,000 panels on four acres generate
a million kilowatts per year, estimated to
reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by 1.4
million pounds.
Aquaculture
• All seven lakes consist of recycled
water.
• Two million gallons of water are recycled daily.
• Water weed removal processes reduce chemical use by 72% compared to
standard practices.
Flora & Fauna
• More than 2,000 trees remove an estimated 88,000 pounds of carbon dioxide
each year.
• Habitats created with native vegetation house more than 178 migratory and
non-migratory bird species.
Recycling & Community
• Bins collecting recyclable materials
all over the property — including fishing
line — result in 10 tons of waste diverted
annually.
• The park’s Green Day event leads 500
community volunteers every year in projects such as repairing picnic tables,
cleaning debris from the lakes, scrubbing
fishing piers, planting trees and placing
mulch created from the park’s tree trimmings. WCM
Santee Lakes’ storage lot is at 98% occupancy with a two-year wait list. “We
could fill up another RV storage lot if we
had one on site,” said Skinner.
It was also successful in cutting the
park’s utility bills. “Our solar project
generates a million kilowatts of power
annually. That’s 50% of the power that
we use here at the park,” he said.
After saving money, the next priority
was to make more. The staff looked at
what Santee Lakes had to offer and what
else could be made out of it, and to
whom. They re-emphasized the amphitheater, reservable picnic areas and
gazebos that could be rented for meetings
and special occasions, and they launched
a comprehensive social media and online
marketing campaign to cast a wider net
for the family and naturist segments.
“We revamped our entire website in
the last part of 2013 and added more visual elements. There are videos we’ve
created that demonstrate the activities
we have, both in the day-use and camping areas and also for our special events.
We’re really heavily on Facebook and
just hit 3,300 likes, where I’d say about
two years ago we had maybe 200. So
we’ve done a lot to do promotions on
Facebook and social media,” Skinner described, including Pinterest and Twitter.
been married at Santee Lakes are invited
to participate in a special wedding vow
renewal ceremony this June to rekindle
the magic of their first walk down the
aisle — and, no doubt, hopefully entice
pre-knotted couples to use the park for
their blessed events as well.
Though the park has gone into online-outreach overdrive, they didn’t
abandon traditional marketing in the
least, particularly with reaching locals.
“We use our local newspapers, and we
also still distribute flyers at elementary
schools to get our information out
there,” explained Skinner. “We do telephone calls and mailers along with our
e-blasts and social media. When we do
our special events, we try to work with
the local TV station to do their daily
weather remotes from our area on the
day of the event to try to pull people in.”
Those events include the Eggstravaganza Easter Egg Hunt, during which
20,000 eggs hidden by park staff are retrieved by about 8,000 attendees, and
Santa on the Lakes, where folks can attend the tree-lighting ceremony, do wintery things like go “sledding” in artificial
snow, enjoy carolers and contribute gifts
to the Santee Santas, who then distribute
the gifts to needy families in the community. Activities such as hayrides and pony
have to operate on your own.’ It changed
our operation model from being a subsidized facility to a self-sustaining facility,”
Skinner related. “The only way we operate is profit from our campsites, our RV
storage and our park operations itself.”
Park’s Solar Power
Generates 1M Kilowatts
Now fending for themselves financially, Santee Lakes’ staff was pressed to
find ways to provide for their own necessities and new ways to generate income.
They looked into providing their own
electricity through solar technology, but
the problem was finding room for it;
generating enough electricity to justify
the investment would take a whole lot of
panels and thus a whole lot of space.
Then a brilliant lightbulb appeared
over their heads: Piggyback the solar
panel placement with creation of a new
customer benefit — roofing over the fouracre RV storage lot. And boy, did it work.
“And we had to look ‘outside the box’
at ways to generate new funds. If you
have a clubhouse and empty campsites,
look at doing wedding package deals.
That helps right there, and it’s an opportunity that I don’t think a lot of campgrounds look at.”
Another example of the park looking
outside the box is revitalizing past events
to create a new one: Couples who have

rides, inflatables, a petting zoo, arts &
crafts, face-painting and carnival games
also are offered.
Reaching Out to New
Customers, Local Partners
But with all the local outreach and involvement, Santee Lakes has to take care
to make sure the campground side is always enticing and enjoyable, because
while only two of the seven lakes and the
surrounding area are restricted to
camper use, that smaller portion represents the lion’s share of the park’s income.
Campsites, cabins and RV storage
comprise about 70% of their business,
and about 70% of their campground
users are in the 50-plus age range, while
daytime users are mostly young families.
And then there’s the demographic
that refuses to be pegged by straddling
both local and camper segments. “We
have people that live in Santee that store
their trailers here, come get their trailers
out, come camping for a day, go back
home, then come back that night and
stay the weekend,” said Skinner. It’s
sometimes a head-scratcher to appeal to
so many groups for the myriad of ways
they might use the park.
“Trying to cater to all these groups
is… interesting,” he confessed. “It’s a
challenge, but we’re able to manage it
pretty well.”
ships are really important to being successful and being able to do projects and
programs in your community. Find organizations and other campgrounds you
can become partners with,” Skinner
urged, citing the park’s collaboration
with the Lions Club, local arborists,
charity groups and even campgrounds
across the country that refer customers
to each other when they go from one region to another. “It’s a competition between campgrounds, quite honestly, but
there’s ways you can work together to
improve participation from campers outside of your area, and I think people
need to take advantage of that.”
What no one should pass up is the
benefit of connecting to what he said is
ARVC’s best resource: Its members.
“Every campground should go (to the
convention), whether the owner or staff.
It’s an opportunity to learn from professionals across the country who are experiencing the same type of challenges that
you have, so you don’t have to reinvent
Santee Lakes grew out of quarry pits used to hold recycled water for irrigation. The local
recreation spot opened to the public in 1961.
This entire expansion and diversification has been administered by existing
Santee Lakes staff members, since their
financial position meant they couldn’t
support more payroll expenses. “Our
staff is parks and recreation staff, so
we’re used to taking on additional tasks
as necessary,” Skinner said, explaining
that a staffer who’s professionally trained
in grant writing helped procure funding
for staff training and the development of
the new website, “but the monitoring
and updating and all the nuts-and-bolts
of day-to-day operation are performed by
in-house staff.”
They jump on every opportunity to
train and expand their skill sets, he said,
“so we have the best-trained staff with
the best education that’s available.”
Going forward, Skinner said areas of
importance are continuing the park’s
green initiatives, perpetual reinvestment
in the property, expanded online marketing and keeping his eyes open for potential future customer groups — such as
pet lovers and cyclists — so he’ll be prepared to draw them. “When you’re doing
your marketing, are you looking at those
different segments to bring into your
park that you might not have now, but
maybe in 10 years?” he queried. “We
have to try to make sure we’re seeing the
pulse of what’s happening across the nation. It might not be happening in Santee, Calif., right now, but in the next
couple years it could bring itself to the
forefront.”
And, he said, it’s critical to reach out
and establish relationships. “Partner-
the wheel,” said Skinner. “It’s one of
those things where you can learn and
bring back a lot of knowledge to help
your park be the best it can be.” —Barb

Campground Food Service Changing
With the Times and Guest Preferences
‘Food service is a tough business,’ said Randy
Packard, president of Pine Acres Family Camp Resort. Like many parks, the Oakham, Mass., resort is
reevaluating its menu — and how it’s served
Food has always been a big part of the
camping and RVing lifestyle. However, expectations of today’s campers vary from doing it
themselves to having restaurants readily available. For those parks that are not near local
eateries, this can cause challenges.
While there has never been a one-size-fits
all to how parks handle food, the variety
ranges from a camp store with snacks, candy
and maybe even ice cream, to full-service
restaurants on site. How that will be handled
is a management decision at each campground or RV park.
Normandy Farms Family Camping Resort, in Foxboro, Mass, set in the woods between Boston and Cape Cod, offers its guests
a snack bar. The award-winning resort with
RV and tent sites, as well as cabin and yurt
rentals has had a snack bar since it’s beginning, but built a new facility last season.
“The demand continues to grow and we
needed more space to accommodate the
number of orders,” explained Kristine
Daniels, marketing director for Normandy. “Many of our guests prefer not to
cook, so we offer an extensive menu with a
Normandy Farms once operated its own restaurant with a culinary arts professional. The park now
leases the space to a local restaurant to operate. The restaurant also offers catering for camping groups.
variety of options.”
Normandy Farms’ snack bar, The Kamper’s Kitchen, offers breakfast, lunch and supper items, as well as ice cream and snacks.
The park once operated in-house with a
culinary arts professional who just happened
to be a cousin of Daniels. When that person
no longer was available, it was decided to take
it outside of the family. The park now leases
the space to a local restaurant to operate. The
restaurant also offers catering for camping
groups.
Outside vendors are not uncommon in
other RV parks and campground food operations.
Randy Packard, president of Pine Acres
Family Camp Resort in Oakham, Mass., said
it’s more difficult to attract a head chef and
prep chefs for RV parks and campgrounds in
colder-weather areas, where the camping season is not year-round.
His park, originally opened by his parents
on Labor Day 1960, has a long history of offering more than a campstore food service. In
1971, food service was initiated for the ski
lodge on the site, Packard said, which naturally expanded into serving the park users in
the summer. In 1989, when he purchased the
resort, the snack bar was expanded to a café
with indoor and outdoor seating, offering the
basics to campers for breakfast, lunch and
supper.
“Food service is a tough business,”
Packard said, adding that there’s a lot of traffic, but only in the peak season. In fact, he’s
considering changes to the café, looking
ahead.
“We’re looking at the café as a more ‘graband-go’ concept — hot sandwiches, things like
that, that guests can grab and move on,” he
said. “We’re re-evaluating. We’ll be open, but
we are trying to determine what that will be.”
Packard said food is a must-have item for
the park, and people like having something
convenient when they are at the pool area.
“Food is important,” he said. What that
will look like will be determined before the
next season at Pine Acres.
As for Sun-N-Fun RV resort in Sarasota,
Fla., food is a year-round business. However,
the operations change throughout the year,
said JoAnn Powell, executive chef for SunN-Fun.
The resort’s buffet restaurant, Boondocks
Restaurant, operates November-April during
the busy season while its Poolside Bar and
Grill, where guests can get sandwiches, wraps
and salads, operates all year. In addition, the
resort hosts murder-mystery dinners and
shows, where 150 VIPs are served a meal prior
to the show, Powell said. The resort also caters
special events throughout the year, and
provides food to meeting rooms within the
resort.
“We do just about anything,” Powell said.
Powell’s staff does change somewhat
throughout the year, and work-campers are
hired for the restaurant season, as well, she
said.
Boondocks Restaurant, famous for its
soups, offers guests options from carved
meats to seafood, and has special nights with
Italian or Mexican fare. It also has one night
of soups only, along with baked potatoes
with toppings. There are always desserts on
the buffet, as well. Lunch is salad bar, soup
and desserts. —Terri Hughes-Lazzell

explained. “This quesadilla is packed with savory steak, sautéed mushrooms & shallots, and

Loeber, a long-time outdoor enthusiast with
a degree in culinary arts, began writing a blog
about camping cooking in 2008, hoping to share
recipes and advice about outdoor cooking.
He realized early on that food in the great
outdoors does not have to be complicated to
be good. The blog began to grow as he added
more information for readers, so he decided to
create a full website to reach out to the outdoor
cooks. In 2012, Loeber launched Campside
Chef.com. He even created an e-book, Campside Chef Outdoor Cooking Guide covering five
styles of outdoor cooking and 50 recipes with
photos of food, and nature.
His recipes include meat recipes for grilling,
barbeque, Dutch oven and even stovetop. He
also makes side dishes, vegetables and
desserts using various cooking methods. He offers information on styles of cooking and how
to approach each, whether it’s grilling or cooking in a Dutch oven, and provides recipes for
each cooking style, like fireside potatoes.
Loeber also offers his services and products on his website, including another e-book,

Benefitting from a Professional-Type Chat
Room @ LinkedIn’s ‘Campground Success’
Have questions about operating an RV
park? Want more information on the
campground industry? Five-year-old
Campground Success’ LinkedIn group
is one place to ask those questions, and
receive answers from experts, campground operators and others.
Now, Campground Success did not
start out to be a social media destination.
It all began in May 2009 when Peter
Pelland, a well-known advertising- and
website-development specialist in the RV
park and campground business, wanted
to reach out to other RV park and campground experts to find a way to extend in-
Peter Pelland
formation to others. What began mainly
as a website with regular blogs and
newsletters filled with articles from
experts, today has been mostly taken over
by a round-robin LinkedIn group as a
social media Q&A, where those new to
the industry or with questions can seek
answers.
“I started by trying to find a group of
experts in the industry who would have
helpful information,” Pelland said. “We
have all presented seminars at various
trade events. And what I noticed was that
there was a lot of interest for more information, but a lack of that information. It
made sense to make it readily available.”
One of the experts called upon was
David Gorin, a consultant, park owner
and former president and CEO of the National Association of RV Parks & Campgrounds.
“I believe that the more information
and the more points of view park owners
have, the better they can make decisions
and serve their guests,” Gorin said, explaining why he joined Campground Success. “I enjoy helping new and
experienced owners and those interested
in the park industry be successful.”
However, Campground Success had its
challenges to keep content fresh and experts writing regularly. That seems to be
where LinkedIn took over, and Pelland
likes the more direct communication
with peers and said the group has 554
members, including people running
campgrounds and RV parks around the
world.
“LinkedIn expands our reach and has
allowed others to offer solutions,” he told
Woodall’s Campground Management. “It’s
an information portal, an exchange of information and useful resources where
people can get answers.”
Gorin, for his part, isn’t as confident
about the new format. He believed in the
26 - February 2014
original concept and website format, but
when the site wasn’t updated as it should
have been and people got busy, things
changed. Yet, Gorin is concerned that information from Campground Success’
LinkedIn group isn’t always provided by
experts.
“I think LinkedIn is effective as a communications vehicle, but I think that
Campground Success could be more focused and was intended to help connect
individuals seeking assistance directly
with an advisor who’s competency and
experience were proven,” he maintained.
“The comments on LinkedIn come from
all over and there is no way to really verify
the information being shared and who the
people are who are sharing.”
Here’s the gist of a rather typical exchange, viewed on Dec. 13, among industry people based on a question posed by
Stephen Crewson, who specializes in
website design and online marketing for
campgrounds, bike stores and other small
business:
Does your campground market to cyclists? If so, how do you attract them and
what resources do you provide for them?
Edward Brooker, Professor, School of
Business at Sheridan College: Interesting
question, as I have had preliminary discussions with a hospitality business that is considering the development of a camping facility
targeting cyclists.
Stephen Crewson, Web Design and
Online Marketing - Campgrounds, Bike
Stores, and Small Businesses: I know
that www.welcomecyclists.ca has a Certification Program for Ontario Campgrounds
but have not heard how effective this has
been in attracting cyclists. I think that the
Criteria List that they provide is extremely
helpful as a starting place for Campgrounds:
http://www.welcomecyclists.ca/criteria/item/
11-campgrounds-checklist. With that said, I
truly believe it can be a great target market.
Barb Riley, Freelance Writer at
RVBusiness magazine: You might want to
contact Charlie Curry at Toutle River RV
Park in Castle Rock, WA. (greatrvre
sort.com). I know he's got cyclist groups
coming through regularly, and he once mentioned to me his participation in the Warm
Showers program (www.warmshowers.org)
that caters to cyclists as well.
Christine Grafton, Owner, warcombe farm camping park: We use Sustrans cycle charity and advertise via their
network. There is a lot of info about the
Tarka trail in Devon near our park as well.
We offer special rates if they are not using a
car to attract touring cyclists as well as
those families bringing bikes. Get posters
and brochures into the shops within a 20mile radius that sell bikes - that helps too.
Finally, reciprocal links to your website.
Stephen Crewson: Christine, Those are
great ideas. What do you enjoy most about
having touring cyclists come into your
campground?
Christine Grafton: My son and some
of his friends are keen cyclists, and I guess
I find them to be people who really appreciate the great outdoors. We enjoy discussing
the routes they have travelled and any points
of interest they have come across on their
journey. They enjoy our private sheltered
pitches and use very little space as obviously
what they are able to carry is restricted they therefore take advantage of what we
offer here. And they tend not to complain
about the great British weather! WCM

Indiana Beach —from page 4
“I feel like they’re sacrificing customer
service for the almighty dollar,” Cathy
Juntgen said. “Especially last year. They
had the electricity turned off due to lack of
payment. The cable was turned off. I
worked a stint with no computers. How do
you work and check people in when you
don’t have computers?”
During the Juntgens’ time working at
the Morgan-owned Indiana Beach, she
said, the park went through annual layoffs
each October. These weren’t seasonal
employees common at summer hotspots
such as Indiana Beach, she said.
“Everyone knows that when they are
seasonal, they’ll be let go,” she said, “but
these were people that think they’ve got a
full-time job. In general, they do bring
some people back because they can’t find
people to take their places. But there was
no guarantee when you got let go you’d be
able to come back.”
Vendors — such as Coca-Cola — increasingly were paid through collect-ondelivery, Cathy Juntgen said, a payment
method favored by vendors who fear that
a purchasing company may default on a
payment.
Ingrid Landis, owner of Necessities
Boutique in downtown Monticello, said
the park has increasingly relied on
bussing in patrons from outside the area.
When those park-goers take the bus home
and drive past local businesses outside
the park, it represents lost potential revenue.
“We’re not getting the tourist trade we
used to since they’ve taken ownership,
and it’s sad,” Landis said. “It’s very disappointing because it has hurt the local
economy.”
Moser said the park’s attendance
hasn’t changed since his company took
over. He declined, however, to provide any
attendance figures.
“Basically we do about the same since
we bought the property,” Moser said. “It
hasn’t fluctuated much since 2008.”
Jeff VanWeelden, owner of Monticello’s Riverside Pub and Restaurant, said
local business owners feel disheartened
by unfulfilled promises made by Morgan
RV.
“It was (the Spackmans’) pride and
joy,” VanWeelden said. “When they
owned it, it felt like somebody cared about
it. Now it’s just another asset on the
books.”
Indiana Beach is home to six roller coasters, including the Cornball Express, called the
No. 1 wooden roller coaster in the world by ThemeParkCritic.com in 2002, and Steel Hawg.
Moser, the CEO, denies there are any financial problems with the park. Without
disclosing an exact dollar figure, he said
he’s invested “multimillion” dollars into Indiana Beach this year and that in 2014 the
park will debut several features that he’s
not yet prepared to announce. He said the
company has invested $15 million in the
park since purchasing it five years ago.
Neither Moser nor Gallagher would
elaborate on the round of layoffs the park
implemented in late October, when about
eight employees were let go, including
Sherry Vogel, director of sales and marketing.
Strained Relations
For four years, Vogel worked at Indiana
Beach. Part of her job was to rebuild relationships with the Monticello community
that were damaged in the early days of the
park’s new ownership.
“There were seven or eight of us that
were laid off in various departments, full
time,” Vogel said. “It was news to me. It
was shocking. There really was no reason
(given).”
It was Vogel who was tasked with
maintaining positive working relationships
with local businesses.
For many local business owners, the
town hall meeting Moser held in the early
days of his ownership of the park remains
the only time they’ve interacted with
him. It’s a jarring contrast to what residents were used to. Tom Spackman was
accessible.
28 - February 2014
Moser said he would consider hosting
another town hall meeting if local business owners felt it would help. As far as
not caring for the park, that’s a charge
Moser vehemently denies.
“We’re a small, family business,”
Moser said. “I’m one of them. I want them
to be successful.”
No Plans to Sell
Part of the concern is fueled by perceived financial troubles with Morgan RV.
The company is a division of Morgan Management LLC. An online profile for Moser
describes Morgan RV as operating more
than $1.5 billion worth of real estate ventures.
In 2011, Morgan operated 42 RV resorts
in 14 states and billed itself as the largest
privately owned operator of RV parks and
resorts in the country, according to an
archive of the company’s website.
Flash forward to present day and, after
several foreclosures and the selling off of
properties, the company counts just five
remaining RV resorts in four states among
its portfolio — including Indiana Beach.
So what happened to the other parks?
Some are easier to account for than others. In recent years:
• Seven Morgan RV resorts entered
foreclosure after the company defaulted
on a $36 million loan, according to a May
8, 2013, article in the Saratogian.
• Three Maine resorts were foreclosed
this year after Morgan RV defaulted on a
$38 million loan.
Woodall’s Campground Management
• Thirteen former Morgan RV resorts
were sold to Sun Communities Inc., according to filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. In all, 16 former
Morgan resorts are now owned by Sun.
• Twelve former Morgan RV properties
were auctioned off and acquired by Janus
Hotels.
The company also has faced controversy in the courtroom.
In 2012, a Massachusetts judge found
that Morgan RV Resorts and employees at
Peters Pond RV Resort in Sandwich,
Mass., had intimidated resort residents
into purchasing inflated memberships of
up to $16,000 to remain in the resort. The
company was required to pay $200,000 in
civil penalties and costs.
In 2013, a Wisconsin judge found that
Morgan RV-managed Crystal Lake RV Resort in Lodi, Wis., violated Wisconsin environmental laws by mismanaging the
resort’s three wastewater treatment lagoons. The company was ordered to pay
$90,000 in forfeitures, penalty charges and
attorney fees.
Shortly after that, Indiana Beach was
found to have neglected more than
$350,000 in self-reported property and
innkeeper taxes owed to White County.
The park paid the entire outstanding
amount in April.
Moser said these instances shouldn’t
fuel speculation about Indiana Beach’s future. Indiana Beach would never be affected by the sale or foreclosure of
another park, he said.
“We own over 250 different types of assets,” Moser said. “Every single one is its
own company. None of them affect the others. A lot of people don’t understand that.”
The company did sell a large group of
parks, Moser said, but “it was a group we
did not see the company owning forever.
Unlike Indiana Beach. That’s a property
we have no plans on selling whatsoever.”

ARVC Promotes Schwartz to Marketing VP
The National Association of RV Parks
& Campgrounds (ARVC) promoted Jennifer Schwartz to the newly created position of vice president of marketing.
“Jennifer is a tremendous asset to our
team and this promotion will put her in a
better position to continue to develop partner relationships that can deliver valuable
money-saving programs that private park
operators cannot find anywhere else,”
said Paul Bambei, ARVC’s president and
CEO, noting that the association’s exclusive music licensing program is attracting
new members from across the country.
“This promotion will also enable Jennifer to continue to develop and implement
a fully integrated marketing communication strategy that will help support efforts
to promote program participation, encourage member engagement and increase
the value of ARVC membership to private
park operators,” Bambei said.
Schwartz, with more than 20 years of
experience working with Fortune 500 companies and national trade associations,
joined ARVC two years ago as the association’s senior director of marketing communications and partnerships.
She said she is looking forward to developing additional member benefit programs while helping the association
communicate the value of ARVC’s national
pricing programs, exclusive opportunities
for networking, professional development
and educational enrichment, legislative
and regulatory advocacy efforts, as well
as marketing support through GoCampingAmerica.com, the association’s
popular travel planning website.
“We want our members to get the most
out of their membership,” Schwartz said.
“We also want to continue to grow our
membership base by consistently providing enhanced value and benefit to it.”
Schwartz holds a bachelor of science
degree in business administration and
marketing from the University of Colorado
at Boulder. A Colorado native with a passion for camping, fishing, hunting, hiking
and skiing, she typically camps 20 to 30
days a year with her family. WCM

repair the phone lines and make other
improvements after the Buena Vista
Campground is sold in a sheriff sale
Feb. 6 in Mays Landing, N.J., the Press
of Atlantic City reported.
Many locals say current owner Morgan Recreational Vacations, of Sarasota, N.Y., has neglected the property
in recent years.
The campground is one of four in the
region owned by Morgan that are being
forced into foreclosure sales by investors who hold two loans totaling
about $110 million. Morgan RV is a division of Morgan Management LLC.
The others are Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Resort in Mays Landing, which
was sold to its creditors for $100 at a
sheriff’s sale in January, as well as
Echo Farms Resort in Ocean View,
Upper Township, and Atlantic Blueberry Hill RV Resorts in Port Republic.

On-Site RV Storage Grows Among Parks
Looking to Add Service Perks for Guests
and Increase their Revenue Year-Round
A driver moves a fifth-wheel into position
at Pismo Coast Village RV Resort. Pismo
employs six drivers to handle as many as
90 unit moves each day, both within the
award-winning park and locally.
‘It’s important to have a good contract, people will try
to hold you responsible for things out of your control,’
said Jay Jamison, general manager of Pismo Coast
Village RV Resort, who oversees an extensive storage
business spanning 45-acres across several lots
Not a week goes by without news of a
new restrictive neighborhood RV parking ordinance, unstable fuel prices or the aging of
the boomer population. Campground operators can’t turn back fuel costs or the aging
process — but they are discovering that offering onsite storage and complementary ancillary services not only benefits their
business but also customers and the industry
at large.
Malcolm, Barbara and Greg Johnson focused on offering on-site storage not soon
after they purchased a 14-acre hay field in
Townsend, Tenn., in the early 1990s with the
intention of building their dream: a family
campground.
Phase one of their park project opened in
1995 and, like all business owners, they were
eager to find ways to grow. Considering their
options, the Johnsons developed a storage
lot and set a goal of 10 customers. “We
worked very hard for the first 10 storage customers, calling on local RV dealers, posting
flyers, promoting the storage business in our
print ads and on our website,” said Barbara
Johnson. “When we achieved our goal of 10
we looked forward to 25.”
Building relationships and trust with the
local business community and their customer base has contributed to the success
of their storage business. Today all 200 storage bays at the Johnson’s Big Meadow Family Campground are taken — and this
ancillary line of business provides an abundance of steady income throughout the year.
Across the country, in the beautiful desert
town of Borrego Springs, Calif., Dan Wright,
general manager of both The Springs at Borrego RV Resort and Golf Course as well as its
RoadRunner Club, a 55+ luxury golf community, provides storage options for the general
public — but most users are park guests and
residents of the RoadRunner Club.
The 60-spot gravel storage area opened in
the mid-2000s and within four years filled to
capacity. The lot is a simple storage solution
for those that spend the winter in a manufactured home at the RoadRunner Club or as a
start or finish to an RV trip for resort guests.
That convenience comes at a price.
Wright charges more than twice what the
“in-town” storage facility charges though he
does offer a significant discount for a 12month commitment.
30 - February 2014
While storage is more of a guest amenity
than a significant piece of business at The
Springs and the RoadRunner Club, Wright
sees it as a growth opportunity and is toying
with additions to the lot. “Investing in covered storage or adding indoor heated storage would certainly pay accordingly,” noted
Wright.
At Pismo Coast Village RV Resort on
Calif.’s central coast, general manager Jay
Jamison oversees an extensive storage business spanning 45-acres across several lots.
It’s not unusual for Jamison’s four full-time
Big Meadow Family Campground started with
10 storage customers. Today, all 200 storage
bays at the Townsend, Tenn., park are in use.

spaces — and has a one-year waiting list.
and two part-time drivers to move 90 units in
a single day. While Pismo Coast Village
guests are the primary focus of the business,
the program encompasses storage and delivery within a 15-mile radius including Pismo
Beach, Avila Beach and Oceano.
With 1,925 units currently in storage,
Pismo Coast Village’s storage facilities are
running at approximately 85% of capacity and
are supplemented with local dealers housing
excess inventory. Jamison reports a positive
cash flow and anticipates paying a recent
land-acquisition note ahead of schedule.
usage and needs.
“To assure the guests park in the correct
slot we send a staff member out to assist
them — especially at night, lest they park in
someone else’s spot then leave the area.
We’ve also observed that in addition to collecting the license-plate number for our computer system it may be helpful to have a
photograph of the RV with the license in the
picture for reference, so we are considering
implementing that process,” noted Wright.
Jamison offers both general public access with a keypad entry for the 10% of customers who want to tow their own RVs as
well as employee-access-only options. Both
types of Pismo Coast Village’s storage lots,
meanwhile, sport fencing, lighting and video
monitoring.
A park reservation by a storage customer
at Pismo triggers a scheduled RV tow/placement. With checkout at noon and check-in
at 4 p.m., the drivers experience a crunch
time, especially since they may have to turn
75 units by day’s end and inspections must
be performed each time a unit enters or
leaves their control.
Drivers are required to have a Class A
commercial license and typically have truckdriving experience. The park carries liability
insurance for the drivers, accepting liability
while under tow, and allows them the freedom to deem a rig unsafe for towing. In that
instance, the park will contact the owner to
advise them of the situation and request they
rectify it before the rig can be moved. Also,
according to state law, the RV must have
current plates.
Big Meadow’s facility is employee-access-only and is fenced and gated — the
combination changed weekly — with personnel on site 24/7. Two dually pick-up
trucks are available to tow rigs as near as a
site inside the park or as far as another
state. Customers who wish to tow their own
campers can pick them up in a designated
location outside the storage walls with 24
hours’ notice.
General storage fees appear to run from
approximately $40 to $60/month. Big Meadow
also offers 20 covered storage spaces, with
a one-year waiting list, at $75/month. Ancillary income opportunities abound if a park
chooses to take advantage of them. Add-on
fees successfully implemented by Pismo
Coast Village and Big Meadow include various levels of set-up and breakdown, washing/waxing, winterizing, mileage/travel costs,
even RV-maintenance service.
To Johnson, the sky is the limit, with this
side of the business offering plenty of wideopen avenues, and says she may soon be offering maid service and fueling. She’ll
determine this by surveying her storage customers via email and proceeding based on
the feedback.
One commonality that everyone agreed is
essential is a strong contract that outlines
payment due dates, storage rules, insurance
requirements, liability limits and lien actions
if the customer defaults on payment or abandons the RV.
“It’s important to have a good contract,
people will try to hold you responsible for
things out of your control,” Jamison remarked. “You may even wind up having to
salvage and sell an abandoned RV so make
sure you are clear in your agreement and understand your state’s laws,” he continued.
Ins and Outs
All three parks stressed the importance
of providing security and safety in their storage business — but approach it from different angles.
Wright’s property, for example, is surrounded by a block wall and a chain-link gate
and is monitored by security cameras. The
majority of customers prefer to tow their rigs
themselves and have in-and-out privileges.
This method works well with the clientele’s
Extras and Advice
Certainly storage lots don’t produce the
income of nightly sites — but, overall, they
can be a very lucrative, low-maintenance
line of business if you have the space available. Mowing, weed eating and pest control
replace the headaches of sewer line backups, electric issues and Wi-Fi woes.

open vents helps prevent water damage to
units stored at Pismo Coast Village. “If we
have the keys we’ll go in and do a lock down.
Otherwise, we’ll contact the owners,” said
Jamison.
He also suggested impressing the importance of good pest control inside the stored
RV with the customer in an effort to avoid
raccoons, rats, ants and other pests that can
ruin a rig, as well as educating customers
on dealing with regular maintenance to
keep their unit looking good and operating
properly.
Johnson, Wright and Jamison affirmed
the value of this line of business. Campers
who can no longer park their RV beside their
homes, folks who can’t afford the high cost
of fuel, travelers who can no longer drive
RV storage has become a substantial source of revenue at Pismo Coast. The resort operates

units in storage. The lots also are available to local dealers housing excess inventory.

Drakefords Pioneers in Their Own Right
WOODALL’S
CAMPGROUNDMANAGEMENT
www.woodallscm.com
2014 BUSINESS DIRECTORY
Bob and Sharon Drakeford
When the U.S. Open comes to their
neighborhood in June, Bob and Sharon
Drakeford, owners of Oasis of North
Carolina, stand to cash in on a share of the
$94 million economic impact of the men’s
and women’s golf tournaments.
“They have 6,000 volunteers for the
event. I was surprised how big it was. It’s a
huge event. We’re talking about 400,000
fans in a very small area,” Bob Drakeford
said.
Their campground is about 18 miles
from the tournament site, and “we have the
only vacancies left,” he said in early November.
It’s a busy push for the retired couple.
This year they had 27 full-hook-up RV sites
and 20 tent sites, plus a yurt. They have another three yurts and five cabins coming by
June, and they plan to have 100 tent sites
ready to go for the golf crowds.
Sharon spent 35 years as a nurse, and
her husband had a varied career of public
service and teaching. He retired in 2006
from Auburn University. It was Bob Drakeford’s brother who suggested turning the
family’s land in rural North Carolina into
an RV park.
“My great-grandfather bought the land
in 1880 for a dollar an acre. It’s 100 acres,
we try to keep it in the family and it made
sense to try to do something. It was just
woodland. We wanted to have reasons for
future generations to keep it,” Bob Drakeford said.
Their timing turned out to be perfect.
They pooled all their savings and sold their
house and put the money into the park just
before the recession hit.
Now, with six seasons under their belts,
Sharon Drakeford immediately volunteers
that she enjoys the change.
Bob Drakeford isn’t as effusive, but said,
“It was a good decision we made. Looking
back on it now, if you go through the ups
and downs of running a business, it’s OK
now. It wasn’t OK through all of it. The
learning curve, and we were the first black
company to be members of the chamber of
commerce.”
That’s no small feat. In describing the
area where they live, Bob Drakeford said,
“Think of ‘The Dukes of Hazzard.’” Plus,
Sharon Drakeford added, “there are five
white families that have run Scotland
County for the last 150 years. They did not
want us to open up business,” she said.
Did they feel like pioneers? “Oh, yeah,
of course,” Bob Drakeford said.
They also feel like pioneers in some respects in the campground industry.
“It’s a very closed industry,” in part because of the high cost of getting in, he said.
To be sure, most campers are great, he
32 - February 2014
added, and members of the regional association were helpful. He took advantage of
training from the National Association of
RV Parks & Campgrounds (ARVC), and
then they reached out to Leisure Systems,
Inc., because they considered becoming a
Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Camp-Resort.
“They were more helpful than anybody,” Sharon Drakeford said. “We went
there for a week and we learned so much.
It was so much more open, people were
very welcoming, we learned a lot. We also
learned that to be a destination park like a
Yogi Bear park, we have to be a whole lot
bigger and it was a whole lot more work
than we wanted to get into.”
Still, the industry’s demographics are
more homogenous than the country’s, and
he thinks industry groups need to recognize that things are changing. “With the
demographic shifts of our country, they’re
being shortsighted. People of color —
whatever color it is, black, Latino or otherwise — are going to be a large part of
what your campground hospitality industry’s going to be.”
He points to the growth of cabins across
the industry as one indicator that more
people want to get into camping, and
Kampgrounds of America has reported that
their cabin guests are more ethnically diverse than RV campers.
Even on the RV side, Drakeford pointed
to the National African American RVer’s
Association, a group of 1,400 RVers across
50 chapters. “My point is, it makes sense
to me that these folks should have, maybe
the president of that association a member
of the board here (at ARVC),” he said. “If
people are coming to you like they’re coming to your church or synagogue, make
them welcome. If you want to know about
a certain ethnic group, have somebody on
your board.”
During his time as mayor of Carrboro,
N.C., “when I was a member of national
mayors associations, me as a sitting black
mayor changed the whole tenor of the discussions. They weren’t inherently racist. It
didn’t occur to them the effects of what
they were doing,” he said.
The campground industry needs to
think outside its normal perspective, he believes.
“You remember the book, ‘Who Moved
My Cheese?’ Well, the cheese is moving,
and suddenly they’re going to find out the
pile of cheese ain’t there no more. Your industry and your customer base keep moving.
“Your business is changing. The country
is changing, and if you don’t change with
that, then you’re by yourself,” he said. –

Roy Orbison, Janis Joplin, Beyonce And Willie Nelson
In TACO’S 2014 RV Travel & Camping Guide To Texas
Texas is famous for its country musicians,
including Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and
Tex Ritter.
But some of the best-known names in
every genre of music were either born in
Texas or lived there for long periods of time,
including Scott Joplin, Roy Orbison, Janis
Joplin, Beyonce, Selena, Freddy Fender and
Kris Kristofferson. In an effort to add a new
level of interest to the 2014 RV Travel & Camping Guide to Texas, the Texas Association of
Campground Owners (TACO) is introducing
each region of the Lone Star State by highlighting famous singers, songwriters and musicians who were either born there or lived
there for long periods of time.
“We think it’s a pretty unique approach to
introducing each region of Texas,” said Brian
Schaeffer, TACO’s executive director and CEO.
“People always tell us they’ve seen our
ads in the guide,” said Diana LeBlanc, president of PPL Motor Homes. Her company,
which has RV dealerships in Houston and
New Braunfels, is a major advertiser in the
free, four-color glossy magazine that lists
more than 375 campgrounds and RV resorts
in Texas and surrounding states.

guide include Carefree RV Resorts, Sun RV Resorts, La Hacienda RV Resort in Austin; Rayford
Crossing RV Resort in Spring; The Vineyards
Campground & Cabins in Grapevine; Forest Retreat RV Park in New Caney and Woodland
Lakes RV Park in Conroe.
The 2014 guide is divided into seven regions, each of which has a two-page, illustrated introductory spread that talks about
singers, songwriters and musicians from
each region as well as popular songs that
highlight each area of Texas.
Region 1 or west Texas performers include
Betty Buckley of Big Spring, a Tony awardwinning Broadway star; rock-and roll-pioneer
Buddy Holly of Lubbock; and country music
singer Waylon Jennings of Littlefield.
Region 2 or north Texas performers include
ragtime piano pioneer Scott Joplin of
Texarkana; pop singer Johnny Mathis of
Gilman; and rock and roll pioneer Roy Orbison
of Vernon.
Region 3 or east Texas performers include
Jim Reeves, a country music singer and songwriter from Gallaway; famed country music
singer and TC star Tex Ritter, who was born in
Murvaul; and Bob Wills, a singer, songwriter
and band leader who was born near Kosse.
Region 4 or central Texas performers include country music stars Pat Green of San
Antonio, Willie Nelson of Abbott; and George
Strait of Poteet.
Region 5 or north gulf coast performers include Beyonce, who was born and raised in
Houston; rock star Janis Joplin of Beaumont;
and Selena, the Tejano music superstar, who
was born in Lake Jackson.
Region 6 or south Texas performers include country music star Radney Foster of Del
Rio, and Johnny Rodriguez of Sabinal, the first
Latino country music star.
Region 7 or south gulf coast performers include Freddy Fender, a Tejano, country and
rock-and-roll musician from San Benito; Bill
Haley, a rock-and-roll performer from Harlingen; and Kris Kristofferson, a country music
star and actor from Brownsville.
Locator maps are provided at the beginning of each regional section of the 2014
guide, with numbered listings of the campgrounds for each region. Campgrounds are
also alpha-indexed by city and park name.
Each campground listing includes a grid that
lists the park’s facilities, services and amenities as well as driving directions.
The 2014 directory also includes a separate section listing campgrounds with cabin
and cottage rentals (www.TexasCabinRentals.com) as well as a listing of park
model manufacturers.
Schaeffer said an initial batch of directories has already been sent to campgrounds,
RV parks, TXDOT Travel Information Centers
along with convention & visitor bureaus
across the state. Additionally, pallets of the
guides were sent to Anderson’s Brochure
Service, who will distribute them at 30 shows
across the eastern part of the US and
Canada.
RV and camping enthusiasts can order the
nearly 150-page directory online by visiting
www.texascampgrounds.com. The guide is
also posted on the website in digital pageturning format.
‘Big Rigs Best Bets’
2014 Directory Released
Ken and Ellie Hamill, co-authors of the Big
Rigs Best Bets Campground Directory, have
released their fourteenth edition of the spiral-
bound book along with their innovative and
popular online version.
These seasoned RVers have personally
reviewed all of
the parks themselves and go so
far as to list specific site numbers
within each park
which they deem
appropriate for
their readers. As
Ken Hamill recently
noted,
“There is a constellation of parks
out there and our
experience tells us the segment of the market
we serve wants to feel comfortable knowing
where they’re going. Our work is never done
as new facilities continue to be built and
some existing ones improve their accommodations.”
Ellie Hamill said, “The beauty of our online
version is we can go in to make additions and
other changes thereby keeping our online
members current as we visit new parks and
re-evaluate existing ones. Another benefit
our readers seem to appreciate is that one
membership covers all devices in the family
albeit computers, tablets, smart phones or E
readers.” For more information, go to

dealers are listed alphabetically by category.
The guide also includes attractions and
events in each geographic area.
The magazine will be distributed at more
than 40 RV shows throughout the East Coast
and also be on PRVCA’s website, at member
locations, at welcome centers along the
Pennsylvania Turnpike, through the Pennsylvania visitor’s bureaus and at the RV Hall of
Fame. If you would like to view Explore Pennsylvania, visit www.prvca.org and select

California Releases
2014 Visitor’s Guide
From hands-on culinary adventures to
luxurious spa retreats to ways to explore
iconic places like
Yosemite, Big Sur,
and California’s
exciting gateway
cities, Visit California announces the
release of the allnew, 2014 California Official State
Visitor’s Guide.
With articles, trip
ideas, photos and
maps, this year’s
204-page guide serves as a free resource for
consumers to plan their next vacation to
sunny California.
“This year’s edition features inside scoops
from California’s top chefs and designers as
well as off the beaten path road trips and unexpected ways to enjoy some of the state’s
favorite attractions,” said Caroline Beteta,
president and CEO of Visit California, the
state’s official tourism agency.
The visitor’s guide also includes 12 feature
articles penned by award-winning writers
and accompanied by photos. Packed with
travel ideas, these articles highlight a host of
new ideas and ways to play in the Golden
State, including how to live the ultimate
dream day being pampered like a movie star,
indulging like a foodie, and playing in the sea
and sun like a California surfer. The guide also
includes must-see events, 32 regional trip
ideas covering all corners of the state, and an
easy-to-use statewide travel planner, with
hundreds of helpful resources, fun destinations, and details on lodging.
Other highlights include the 2014 Official
State Map. The highly detailed, large-format
map, dotted with urban must-sees and bonus
ideas like rooftop dining, zoos and aquariums,
and California missions, can be pulled out of
the guide and used both for planning and
when travelers are on their vacation. WCM
