The founders of Big Rig Friendly RV Resort in Columbia, S.C., announced the grand opening of Midpoint I-95 RV Park at Exit 180a, midway between Washington D.C. and Orlando, Fla., in Sellers, S.C., just an hour and 10 minutes from Myrtle Beach, S.C.
The grand opening was Sept. 12.
D Melton, co-founder of both parks with partner, Chris Neeley, stated that the park includes a new 4,000-square-foot clubhouse that houses an office, general store, laundry, a gym, his and her showers and a large community room for family reunions and business gatherings.
The two partners are big believers in the winning business real estate formula of “location, location and location.”
“Since we’re at Exit 180a just a few minutes off of I-95, we’re halfway between Orlando, Fla. and Washington D.C.,” shared Melton. “So, for people making their journeys up and down I-95, it’s the perfect place to pull over, take a break and then continue their journey. Or, for those folks coming in and out of Myrtle Beach, we’re just an hour and 10 minutes away. And we are just one exit north of a big Buc’ees, always a big hit!”
He said this new 81 campsite park is a mirror image of the Big Rig Friendly park with a few additional features.
“Midpoint on 95 is now at 81 sites that are predominantly all pull-throughs that can handle the biggest rigs,” he said. “Being extra-large pull-through sites, easy in, easy out, we accommodate those folks traveling up and down the I-95 corridor.
“What’s a little bit different is we got a three-acre fishing pond there at Midpoint I-95. We’ve got a lot of nature trails, the same size clubhouse, a dog park and playground,” Melton added.
The partners continue to expand on the success of their Big Rig Friendly RV Resort in Columbia with the expansion of an additional 25 new sites at that location, as well.
“The demand’s still growing at Big Rig, too,” said Melton. “This puts us at 212 sites there now and our bookings are very strong at both locations.”
