Own Your Own Piece of an Upscale RV Park!

Like most RVers, I enjoy RV parks in forested areas. However, I don’t like being so close to my neighbors that I can’t put my awning out - I need my space! Lost Lake Resort offers plenty of space and is surrounded by lots of trees. My wife, Marilyn, says it reminds her of camping in the forest when she was a kid. Lost Lake Resort is a secluded resort just south of Tacoma, Washington off of I-5 near the Fort Lewis Army Base. This RV community is different because you purchase your own lot and develop it however you want (within the covenants of the association of course). Lots start around $29,000 and the association fees are $750 a year. It’s a gated community with great amenities as you’ll see in the video. This is an upscale RV community and your RV must be 15 years old or newer in order to keep it here. Also, to prevent this from becoming a trashy park and to protect your investment, you can only live here a maximum of six months out of each year. That’s not a problem for “snowbirds” as they will move to their park model in Arizona or Florida during winter and then come back here for the spring and summer. There are also some nice park models available and though many of the existing lots have already been developed and sold, they are continuing to develop a few new lot sites. About the lake, it isn’t really lost, in fact it’s an 11 acre spring-fed lake stocked with rainbow trout. Check out this video for a more detailed look at this style of living.

  • These gated RV communities seem to represent all the very worst of elitism and a "we've made it so stay away" mentality and it pervades any of the ones we have seen. Staying overnight recently at one on Vancouver Island we felt like recent arrivals in a concentration camp, ID tags, security in and out, minimal real human contact, everyone smiling false smiles. Let's just get some good quality friendly RV sites. Gated communities in N America are an incredibly sad comment on the times.

  • We camped there ... maybe the "owned lots" are different, but trains went by ALL night long and they were LONG and LOUD. In addition, we were on the edge of a military reservation which was having exercises prior to leaving for Iraq ... so, in addition to trains we had booms and blasts like we were in the middle of a war zone ... hmmmm ...not a place we will stay again.
