Many like my parents have died off and those willing to consider investing in an rv community want more than is being currently offered at LA--- this is a place that has a pool-- back 30yrs. ago that was an attraction - today almost every1 has a pool in their backyards -- the trailers back then were new -- now they are mostly outdated and more than a few a reaching derelict state-- the housing stock is getting old and needs replacement but who wants to invest in a 40 to 50G trailer in a park that is in strong need of a housecleaning-- weeds are allowed to grow all season, leaves aren't cleaned up in the fall and they are still there the next fall still uncollected. Empty boat trailers, utility trailers and even a heavy equipment trailer are allowed to sit in the same spot for years, rusting away and are never moved or used -- some rv trailers i suspect are being used for personal storage or even business storage (cheaper than a commercial storage building). The infrastructure for electric, water and sewer needs to be upgaded to accommodate requirements for new trailers and to comply with the current codes and get in compliance with various federal statures. In addition to the infrastructure upgrades, some other upgrades are necessary in the public rest rooms, showers, parking lots and parking lot lighting, and laundry facilities.

So as much as you may want everything to be the way it was when it was a simple campground -

the fact of the matter is change must be made to accommodate laws, entice new members who will be willing to replace the old housing with new trailers and to help pay for necessary upgrades.
To get to the point that new members are willing to consider LA must become more relevant with the times. New emphasis in getting this place cleaned up, upgrades completed, and a review of the social and activity functions at LA to make them more relevant to 2008. This must become more attractive to 2008 families or LA is destined to become a run down and abandoned slum rv community.
