“The People Are Always Happy”
at Camp Blanco RV Park
The RV industry is quickly becoming a next generation lifestyle
for many across the US. Cross-country trips and weekend adventures
are attracting more and more of America’s younger couples and families
with today’s ‘virtual homes on wheels’. The availability and affordability
of what was thought of in the past as retirement play, has
become a popular way for families young and old to enjoy time together
on the road. This trend is also gradually changing the demographics
of campground and RV park operators nationwide, luring a new
breed of entrepreneurial business owners to this great way of life.
The search began in mid 2003 for Jeff and Angie MacFarlane
of Redding, California, the hunt for their new home and business in
the ever-growing RV world. Jeff had always wanted to own his own
business and had dreamed of someday owning his own RV park. “The
people are always happy and it looked like a great way of life.” Jeff
said. After an 800 mile motorcycle tour up Highway 101 the couple
fell in love with the scenery and relaxed pace of the beautiful Oregon
coast. “We wanted to find a great place to raise our children, and
where we knew people would visit throughout the year in RV’s. We
simply thought about where we went in our own RV and that’s what
brought us here.” Jeff said. Jeff and Angie have 3 children, Matthew,
Miranda and Mason.
The MacFarlanes
looked at many parks in several
states including
California, Oregon, Idaho
and Montana. “We just kept
coming back to Oregon’s
south coast and that’s where
we found the perfect match,
Camp Blanco RV Park.”
Angie said. “It had everything we wanted including a large on-site
home built in 1910 (which was also the town’s hospital/medical clinic
from about 1920 to 1940), a huge shop for vehicles and equipment,
and schools nearby. We also saw an incredible number of RV travelers
flocking to escape the heat of the inland valleys in the summertime,
and the RV snowbirds detouring
around the snow and ice of
Interstate 5 in the winter.” read more>>>
