There are many guests that will not take the time to write a review until they stayed in a park where it took them an hour to level, or they were never able to level. Put yourself in their shoes. They got up at six to hit the road early to avoid town traffic. The sun soon made everything hot including their RV. They ate sandwiches on the run, drove six or more hours, and took the wrong exit that resulted in driving eight miles out-of-the-way before they could turn around. Finally, they pulled into your park and were assigned a site. 

If you're planning on updating your website next year or printing new rack cards or brochures, the best way to ensure you have a dynamic, eye-catching, first rate production is to take high quality photos at every opportunity through the year.

The best way to test your park for a new season or any time, is to borrow a camper, fifth wheel, and long motorhome, and begin testing your entrance, your turns (watch for limbs), and finally entering and exiting some of your sites. Either take a pad to write your notes, or use one of those small memo tape recorders. Before your park starts filling with traffic, trim the trees for safety as well as for protecting the RV Units that trust you with their big investment and home. 

Parks along the southern coast and near tornado alley in the midwest, know exactly what to do when a bad storm heads their way. However, many guests from other states are not aware of potential warnings. They rarely read the local newspaper, and watch only satellite television featuring far away network channels.

December is a slow month for some but could be a great time to visit some other parks around your region, state or the country. Checking other parks always stimulates new ideas for your resort.
