A one-of-a-kind, year-round, non-traditional campground is being built in the RV Capital of the World.
The facility is located on a five-and-a-half-acre site south of the Indiana Toll Road at exit 92 in Elkhart.
The project developer is the owner of the Garden Inn next door.
We have noticed there are a lot of workers, they come in the area from outside of state and they are in their RV’s and that’s one market we’re leaning towards.”
The campground has 67-concrete pads for RV parking that can accommodate units up to 90-feet in length. Each pad has water, sewer and electric service.
The premise of the project is that not everyone who drives an R.V. is on vacation. “We have noticed there are a lot of workers, they come in the area from outside of state and they are in their RV’s and that’s one market we’re leaning towards,” A.J. Singh with the Garden Inn said. “For anybody that wants to come in for a night, a week, a month, they’ll be able to stay.”
In a matter of weeks, an El Rancho Viejo Restaurant will open on the Garden Inn grounds and despite all the traditional campground amenities you won’t find at the campground, “A majority of things you need, they are right here within a mile radius, so example, from AMC Theater,Wal-Mart, Meijer is just coming in, all the gas stations, restaurants,” Singh added.
The campground is scheduled to open sometime in April.
While the campground will not have its own pool, campground customers will have access to the indoor pool at the hotel.
