Ryan Kelsay is in charge of groundwork at the site located on Beaver
Creek Lodge Road, which is just to the left before Beaver Creek Resort.
Kelsay indicated that a businessman from Florida purchased the
property and April 1 is a tentative date for a grand opening.
Kelsay continues to prep the property for the construction phase of
the project.
According to Kelsay, it will be a nice secluded, family-friendly
campground consisting of 40 sites.
It will include a bath house, a pump station and shelter house with
picnic tables.
Kelsay stated this is the first venture of this type for the Florida
developer, but his plans for the future include developing a couple
more sites.
In speaking with Safe Harbor Beaver Creek manager Terry Bell, he
said the campground will be close by the Resort, but it's in no way
affiliated with Beaver Creek.
Bell stated that he is looking forward to the new campground opening in 2020, that it would be great for business.
