After almost 20 years in the service and hospitality industry, my wife and I decided in 2001 that it was time to embark on one last big adventure. We called it “Four Paws Kingdom” and it was based on an idea that was new, unique, had never been attempted before and everyone we told about it looked at us like we had just come down from outer space in a UFO.

What idea, you are asking, could cause a reaction like this?

The idea of building the first (and still the only)

Dog Dedicated Campground in the United States.

After talking to campground brokers, real estate professionals, campground owners, traveling from Florida to Ohio and every state in between we finally found the perfect property in the little town of Rutherfordton, NC.

Little did we know, at the time, what would lie ahead of us.
We had cashed in all of our life savings, our retirement savings, sold our house and belongings to put it all on the line for a dream that may or may not work out.

Since we had both worked as consultants in the hospitality industry our first instinct was to hire and talk to consultants in the campground industry.

Oh Boy, what a waste of time. Everybody we contacted to share our vision and ideas pretty much told us the same thing. This is never going to work. A myriad of reasons were given for why our ideas were too big, our investment too small, our visions were too lofty and our in general our business model was doomed to fail.

Luckily for you, all of our struggles, trials and tribulations have made us a different kind of “experts”.  Former campground owners who have built, managed and “fought in the trenches”, walked in your shoes, been where you are – not only in the field of managing and running a campground and RV Resort but most importantly we know how to market, sell, advertise and position an idea in the marketplace.

If you are looking for help with your Campground, RV Park or Resort, B&B or other hospitality venue,  you now have a unique chance to benefit from our RV Park experience, with the added bonus of 40+ years of International hospitality industry experience, intimate knowledge of the challenges and requirements, marketing and finding your niche in the hospitality industry and most importantly the willingness to listen to your ideas and visions even if they seem to be “too much out there”.
