They are being territorial about the pond. They want everyone else to follow the rules but them. I hope you are successful in getting your campground built.
Thank you for the comment. Looks like the town will pass a moritorium to try and stop or severly restrict our campground efforts. A few of the town council members have immediate family on the pond.
My neighbors rent to rv'ers. Some of them have domestic fights outside. Some of the case the neighborhood on quads and steal from the houses nearby. Some of them accumulate junk and cars.
That is terrible to hear. I had neighbors selling drugs next door. The police have gone to the house a few times. No rv'ers involved. Bad people come in all forms. I hope things improve in your neighborhood.
Setbacks are to be deteremined by the new city ordinance. Some of the neighbors built very close to Siddall road and cut down all of their privacy buffer. They of course don't want to replant bushes and don't want to look at RVs.
Thank you for the comment. This would be a great asset to the town which would likely make more money from the business than our family would. Example: The avg campsite is $100/night but, the average family of 4 that goes camping spends $200/day in the local community. Add taxes on top of that.
@@HowtoBuildaCampground i wish you the best of luck. sounds like a great idea and in an ideal world there would be no problem. as a camper, i am in favor of more well-run campgrounds.
This campground sounds amazing! Well researched, environmentally friendly, and well thought out. I would definitely stay there! Sounds very relaxing, very Maine. Good luck going forward!
I would love to go to your campground brother. It's going to be fantastic. I stayed at a koa in Maine right over the border from NH. What nice owners and good breakfast. Great state.
Sanford is only a couple hours away from me. Sounds like a campground I would go to being retired and all. I’ll keep an eye to see how you make out. Good luck.
Why do you keep saying 113 acres when you're only building on the 10 acres that abut your neighbor's property? I wouldn't buy a house in a campground and I wouldn't want a campground to be built around the lot that I own either
The 10 acres that we want to build on first is closest to the pond and is the most valuable. These people all purchased the land or cottage knowing how it was zoned and they all purchased it anyway and it will continue to go up in value. Thank you for sharing.
They didn’t buy a house next to a campground. Constant strangers, loud parties, drinking and drugs, people going to the bathroom everywhere. The whole place is going to smell like a urinal of course they don’t want it who would. Just like no one wants to live next to an Airbnb. Sounds like hell.
😅 Nobody that has to pay a fee to go camping I s gonna trash their area period. There used to be many areas to go fishing and swimming where the public was allowed that are now posted because the general public trashed it. Every campground i've been to where you had to pay was kept clean and people were controlled. perfect example of not in my backyard
Thank you for the comment. Campgrounds are generally kept clean because trash leads to poor online reviews which is bad for business. I can show you over a dozen pictures where the neighbors have put trash on our property.
@@HowtoBuildaCampground this is just my opinion but I know people will misbehave and cause problems for residents who will gain nothing but problems. I had an Airbnb open up next to my house the owners said all the things you’re saying about how it will not be a problem and how well it will be managed. So far two years of hell so I feel for these people.
@@Crashdown2031 Yup, all in the way it is managed. I have neighbors who throw trash out the window of the car on a regular basis. They behave worse than a campground. Barking dogs coming from neighbors, not the campground. It can go both ways for sure. How do you keep everyone happy?
@@Crashdown2031 I appreciate your comments. It won't be the campers that are getting out of hand because we'll make sure of it. Poorly run campgrounds don't do well in business. Neighbors are usually the ones getting out of hand. Example: some neighbors drive around drunk on the weekends: up and down the road in their golf cart. They break our fence and throw trash on our property and the property of others. It is the neighbors that surround the campground with barking dogs, etc. NOTE: I checked with the town about a campground before I purchased the land and they told me "we think a campground is a great idea". The neighbors would be opposed to anything happening to the land. Change is hard.
