During a stay at the campground, Bob hopes that guests can feel comfortable and welcomed. He said, "We want our guests to enjoy the experience of the area and the campground and have a good time.” To provide an environment conducive to the experiences Bob hopes his patrons can have, he tries to be hospitable to those staying at the property and assist them if needed. "We aim to provide a personal touch to our guests' experience. We're small enough to walk around, chat with people, and address their needs,” he said. Those who have previously stayed at the establishment often comment on the hospitality Bob and the staff of the campground provide, as well as the overall location of the park. One former patron said, “This is a beautiful campground with a stream, a walking trail, and clean bathrooms. The sites are good-sized and feel spacious and private. The owner is friendly, helpful, and attentive.”
Newfound RV Park has a history that dates back to the year 2003 when it was first established as a campground. The original owner of the campground was Richard Halberg, who still resides in the nearby area. The current owner, Bob Coco, took over operations of the campground in 2020. The decision to purchase the campground came about after Bob was forced to close his other business in New Hampshire due to COVID. Seeking a change and inspired by his previous camping experiences, he sold his house and began a new venture as the owner of Newfound RV Park. Since taking ownership, Bob has made various changes to the campground. He shifted the focus from predominantly seasonal campers to a more recreational campground, hoping to cater to a wider range of campers.
Bob has tried to prioritize the upkeep and improvement of the property. During his time at the property, he has worked on regrowing grass, painting, and updating the internet and Wi-Fi systems. In the future, he plans to continue informing his guests about the variety of outdoor activities in the surrounding area and keeping up with the maintenance demands as they come up.
