8. Wimberley Creek RV Park
With 27 pad sites (2 of which will be park model RV cabins) on 8 acres, WCRV will be the Texas Hill
Countrys small, upscale park. Landscaping will be prominent and lovely. The office, meeting area, and
shower/restroom facilities will be top-tier, encouraging repeat business.
WCRV will emphasize catering to daily and weekly visitors to the local city of Wimberley and those passing
through the Wimberley/San Antonio corridor. This approach is more profitable. WCRV anticipates virtually
unlimited demand for monthly residential RVers but will limit this type of customer to between 1/3 and 2/3
or the customer base.
WCRV typical customer is the middle-class to well-heeled owner of a large motorcoach or 5th-wheel trailer.
These units start in the low six figures and are frequently half a million dollars.

trash will be forbidden. Guests will be discouraged from cementing in.

The problem: no facility in the general area addresses the demand for an attractive, spacious, service and
vacation-oriented luxury park. Currently, this demand simply bypasses the entire area altogether.
The solution: Wimberley Creek RV Park The Hill Countrys Boutique RV Park.
MARKET OPPORTUNITY (RECAP)

miles of the park. Robert and Robin would explore mutually beneficial
arrangements with all of the local destinations such as these.

the purposes of a bank loan was to be offered as collateral. The
real estate could be purchased for $200,000, and it may be
advantageous to do so, thereby in effect cashing out one of the
partners early.
