RV park and mobile home community · Clinton County, Missouri

Thirty-one lots, a gravel loop, and nobody idling past your window at 2am.

123 Main St, Lathrop, MO 64465 Quarter mile off Highway 116, six minutes from the I-35 exit. Pull-through lots on the outside of the loop, back-ins on the inside. (816) 555-0188

Open now: four RV lots, two of them pull-through. One mobile home lot opens the first of next month. Checked by hand every Monday morning. If this page is stale, the phone is not.

Rung one

A night

$38

per night, one rig, two people

  • 50 and 30 amp at every lot, metered nightly at flat rate
  • Water and sewer hookup
  • Gravel pad, picnic table, fire ring
  • No reservations under three nights in October, that is deer season and the lots go to weeklies

Roll in after hours and take any lot with a green tag on the post, then settle up in the morning. That has worked for nineteen years.

Rung two

A week

$205

per week, saves you $61

  • Everything on the nightly rate
  • Mail held at the office
  • One dump-station pass for a second rig
  • Electric still flat rate at this length, so a running air conditioner is not costing you extra

Most of our weeklies are working a job in Kansas City or St. Joseph and would rather not commute from a motel. Call (816) 555-0188 and say which week.

Rung three

A month

$465

per month, plus metered electric

  • Water, sewer and trash included
  • Electric read on the first and billed at cost, usually $40 to $90
  • Gravel parking for one extra vehicle
  • A shed under 8 by 10 is fine, ask first
  • One month minimum, no deposit if you have been through here before

This is where the honest number lives. A park quoting a monthly rate with electric folded in is either guessing or padding, and you find out in January.

Rung four

A mobile home lot

$310

per month, lot lease only

  • Lot, water, sewer, trash, mowing of the common ground
  • Concrete runners and a poured step pad
  • You own the home, you insure the home
  • Skirting within 60 days of set
  • We do not sell homes and we do not finance them, so nobody here has a reason to talk you into one

Set fees, permits and the mover are yours. We will tell you what the county wants before you spend anything, which is a ten minute phone call and it has saved people a lot of money.

The short list of rules

  • Quiet from 10pm to 7am. Generators, dogs, and the loud truck all count.
  • Two pets, leashed on the loop. No breed rules. There is a rule about picking up after them and it is enforced.
  • Speed limit is 10 and it feels too slow. That is the point, there are kids on the north end.
  • Rigs older than twenty years are fine if they are roadworthy and hold their fluids. We look, we do not judge the year.
  • Rent is due on the first. Late on the fifth. Tell us before the fifth and it is a conversation, not a notice.

Photographs to take

Shot 1The gravel loop from the entrance at golden hour, three or four rigs set on their pads, mowed grass between them.
Shot 2A single pull-through lot, empty and clean: pad, post, picnic table, fire ring. Shot straight on so the length reads.
Shot 3The mobile home end of the park, skirted homes with steps and small yards, taken low and level so it looks like a street.

Three real photographs of this park will do more than any amount of writing. Stock images of somebody else's resort would be worse than these empty boxes.
