The manager of Thompson's RV Park, Nancy, takes pride in her work, and she enjoys meeting people. "We want to make sure everybody's very comfortable and very happy here," Nancy remarks. In an effort to provide this experience for their guests, the property offers RV storage for patrons to leave their vehicles, either during the off-season or just for a weekend. The establishment's security service monitors this RV storage area in an effort to prevent theft or damage to anyone's RV.
Although there are no organized activities at the park, campers can enjoy getting together for campfires and cookouts, which are held periodically to provide opportunities for people to socialize and get to know each other. Nancy intends to help visitors at Thompson's RV Park "feel like family." One former patron who had a positive experience at the establishment commented in a review, saying, "The manager, Nancy, is very accommodating, on the go, and always keeping the campground clean. She made us feel at home."
In terms of guidelines, Nancy says that she has a "zero-tolerance policy for drugs." The park also has a policy against smoking in the cabins, and guests are requested to use designated smoking areas. As a further effort to create a peaceful atmosphere, quiet hours are designated from 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. every night. Nancy believes that the property's location in a natural setting may also contribute to creating a peaceful atmosphere. Furthermore, for the safety of visitors, there is a speed limit of five miles per hour within the park to prevent any accidents or injuries. Thompson's RV Park is pet-friendly, but pets are required to be on a leash at all times, and owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets. There is also a pet deposit fee charged for pets staying in the cabins. Thompson's RV Parks guidelines pertaining to grounds cleanliness require guests to leave their sites clean and tidy upon departure and to dispose of their garbage in the designated trash cans. Campers should also be aware that the property has a trash pickup service available.
Open year-round, Thompson's RV Park most commonly experiences its busiest season of operation during the summer. The park's primary demographic is middle-aged to older individuals as well as many repeat visitors and long-term guests.
Nancy, the manager of Thompson's RV Park, has been working in the RV park industry for five years and managing Thompson's RV Park for three years. She retired from her former job in the hotel industry and was drawn to RV park management because she loves being active and helping people.
Thompson's RV Park has undergone several changes over the years to improve the experience for guests. One significant change that the owners have made is the addition of water houses for each site, which are equipped with insulated pipes to prevent the water from freezing during the winter months. This improvement has allowed Thompson's RV Park to remain open year-round, whereas many other RV parks in the area close down during the winter season. Another change that was made to the property was the repainting of all the buildings and cabins. Additionally, the owners have added fire pits to each cabin, providing a new amenity for people to enjoy during their stay. Overall, the changes that have been made to Thompson's RV Park have been aimed at improving the guest experience and making the park more comfortable for those who stay there, as explained by Nancy.
Concerning future plans, the owners would like to add a washer and dryer facility, which Nancy believes would be a convenient addition for those who are staying for an extended period of time. In addition to this, Nancy hopes to keep up with the standard maintenance of the park.
