Zac Hoyt and Kevin Jones, of Maverik Asher Capital, are designing and building what they expect to be the most technologically advanced RV and glamping resort in the world.
With its first 80 sites opening in 2026, Hidden Beach RV Resort in Beaufort, N.C., will not only offer paperless check-ins, gigabit speed Wi-Fi and EV chargers, but robotic technology and Tesla robots that serve coffee and mixed drinks, pick up trash, staff the camp store and even deliver to your door.
“We’re looking to shake things up in the industry, do some big things,” said Hoyt, Maverik Asher Capital’s CEO, adding that the project is being financed with investor capital he raises through his Wyoming company.
While robotic technology will be used to serve coffee and drinks, the system will involve an automated arm that moves around a machine to gather the requested drinks and serve them to guests. Hoyt and Jones plan to use robotic bartenders designed by MakrShakr of Turin, Italy.
Tesla Optimus robots that resemble humans will be used to collect trash and perform other tasks, such as providing concierge services, while entertaining guests with their presence and functionality as they walk around the resort.
Hoyt and Jones anticipate that guests will be drawn to the resort not only by its robots, robotic arms and other technological innovations, but by its scenic beachfront location and glamping accommodations along the North Carolina coast.
The 75-acre resort will initially feature five furnished geodesic domes as well as six furnished modern treehouses that are up on stilts 30 feet in the air, which will have terrific sunset views of a saltwater lagoon and the Neuse River inlet of the Atlantic Ocean. RV rentals, including vintage Airstream travel trailers and technologically advanced Hollywood Trucks, will also be available at the resort, as well as an upscale tiny home community section.
Park amenities will include swimming pools, a grand clubhouse with a meandering 500-foot lazy river, a two-mile nature & fitness trail, and eco-friendly rain gardens.
While the first 80 RV sites are expected to open next year, the resort will eventually grow to 300 sites, said Jones, Maverik Asher Capital’s COO.
In the meantime, Jones and Hoyt said they are looking at other fun technologies to include at their resort, which they think could serve as a model for futurist RV and glamping resorts across the country.
They have compiled a short video to promote their resort, which you can view HERE.
