The current owners purchased Goldwater Estates RV Park in June of 2018. The corporate company that runs the business is Goldwater Estates, which has a few other RV parks under its care. The property itself has existed for many years, probably starting sometime in the 1900s. It was known by the name of The Hitching Post by previous owners but was changed at some point in the 2000s to what it is today. Nilda, the manager for Goldwater Estates RV Park, has held the position since 2019. She says that her favorite part of working on the property is talking to the various people that come and visit the area.
Some changes that have been made to the business and the grounds in the last few years include the addition of a garden and flowers throughout the area and even the demographic of guests, which are all screened before entering the RV park.
