Lease site for camping

(1/3) > >>

Farmer Jon:
We looked at a lease site so we don't have to fight to get in the state parks. These sites were dirt. Actually clay. Did not drain very well. After the flood came through now they are all sand. 6 to 8 inches of sand to be exact. Took care of the mud problem but now we have all sand. Not a big deal except we have two boys ages 5 and 8. Everyone with kids knows exactly where this is headed.

This is the first year the place is open. Sites are just roughed in at this point. Actually there are no hookups yet. I am equipped to boondock so no problem.  I just need ideas of something to put down outside the camper as a "clean area"  A place to knock the sand off and clean up before going in the camper.  Future plans are to have a patio but I don't want to build anything until all the utility's are in. I have looked at the rv rugs that let the sand go through are so expensive but that might have to be the way we go. Do they actually work? I don't know anyone that has one. I will be setting up an outdoor shower. That is a must have.

There is a huge negative not having grass but..With the flooding in Nebraska most parks in my area are going to be limited access or closed all together. Also we are getting in on the ground floor so to speak. If I pass it up this year I'm afraid it will fill up and I will never get in later. Its only 12 miles from home. The price is VERY reasonable $1,200 a year with power included once they get it ran. The main box is in they just have to run it to each site. We love to cat fish and get in the canoes.  We are just going to have to deal with the sand.  Each site is roughly 50x100. Everyone has river access. The pictures are taken from the spot I was thinking about getting. The spots run north and south. Pictures are taken facing west then east. My Dad is getting a spot right next to me so we will essentially have 100x100 to work with.

I'd take sand over dirt and mud any day.
I use one of those rugs. I wouldn't say that all the sand goes through it, maybe some, but it is very durable and keeps most of the loose stuff out of the trailer.

If indeed you can build a patio type, what if you build some basic “portable deck” and made them small enough you could stack when not using.   4 ft x 4ft with something like trex on top and you can set them out for a 8ft Landing square than stack next to a tree when not in use?

I have the rug from my rv when we had it.  It’s yours if you want it. Not sure how much it weighs but if you aren’t in a huge hurry I’ll get it out and see what it will fit into for shipping and calculate a cost just to make sure it’s not more expensive to ship than to buy local
