We\u2019re hoping to bring back our entertainment and things we use to do. On the schedule, we used to do those things a lot.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Dale Newell was out walking his poodles, Cleo and James. Normally from Sequim, Washington, he arrived with his wife, who\u2019s from Port Huron, in their camper Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The township\u2019s park has been a regular stop for six years. When asked about is needed, Newell said he hops to see better roads, adding, \u201cIf you were here this morning, this was a muck mess.\u201d<\/p>\n
But he wasn\u2019t sure if he wanted to see things change otherwise.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of older people here. I don\u2019t know if the pool is something they want. Where I come from it\u2019s very cold and still cold, but this is a very warm day, as you can see,\u201d Newell said. \u201cI just hope it doesn\u2019t change a whole lot, the price doesn\u2019t go way up. You know, this is a reasonable price.\u201d<\/p>\n
Currently, Newell says he pays close to $500 a month, including power and water.<\/p>\n
Price was among the things that, Ureel said, is still being worked out in the planning process.<\/p>\n

Everything else \u2014 the design and amenities \u2014 he called the fun part.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor us as a team,\u201d Ureel said. \u201cTo take a property that\u2019s considered a rusty campground and make those changes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Goble said she thought some of the improvements that may come with a new owner and renovation, such as upgraded water lines and additional full hookup sites, were \u201cvery much needed\u201d to help \u201cbuild the park up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ureel said he still needs to go through the permitting and approval processes at the local and state level before he also finalizes a timeline for working on the campground. He\u2019s previously said he expected to break ground in 2023.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, he said he still wanted to accommodate the existing seasonal U.S. and Canadian campers while adding amenities that\u2019d \u201conly strengthen the long-term\u201d of the park.<\/p>\n
Goble had just one other message for visitors.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are here, we\u2019re open and we would like people to stop in and give us a shot, give us a try,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re hoping to bring back our entertainment and things we use to do. On the schedule, we used to do those things a lot. But then, COVID put things on the backburner.\u201d<\/p>\n
