Frequently Asked Questions
How big are the RV sites?
All the pads are concrete, and most were designed to be at least 55 feet long and 20 feet wide at the patio area. Most of the pads have been extended. As an owner of a lot, you will also own the area around your pad. In most cases, this area starts approximately 3 feet from the edge of the original pad of the site to the left of the site in question and continues to 3 feet to the right of the original pad on the site in question. The initial resort drawings show the RV lots are designed to be at least 34 ½’ wide and 63 ½’ deep but many of the lots are larger than this. Exact dimensions can be determined by having a survey completed. All lots have hook-ups for water, sewer, cable TV and 30 and 50 AMP electricity as well as Wi-Fi access.
