Have you ever wondered about owning your RV campsite?

We had so much interest in our initial story and video on owning your RV campsite and many people have asked for more info. So, on the RV Podcast Episode 347, we interviewed the developer of this unique Tennessee RV community. I thought it worth sharing again here.

His name is Tom Spychalski and the development he showed us is called The Landings. You can get more info on it at RVLakes.com

It is just one of many new own-your-own campsites opening across America as people seek alternate ways to camp because of the overcrowding in many of our National and State Parks and the challenges of getting a reservation at a regular campground.

Here's an edited transcript of my interview with Tom Spychalski, of Tennessee Land & Lakes, the developer of the Landings about owning your RV campsite.

Tom Spychalski of the Landings, talks with us on the RV Podcast Episode 347 about owning your RV campsite

Mike Wendland: Well Tom, it's great to have you with us and to talk about owning your RV campsite. Explain how fast this is growing and what the needs are for many of the customers that you guys are seeing here in Tennessee and how this works across the country.

Tom Spychalski: Well, first of all, thanks for having me, Mike. It's a pleasure to be here. It seems like a fairly new trend altogether. RV-ers are hitting the road in record numbers.

Owning your RV campsite is true freedom

Young people are getting into RV-ing with van life blogs and video vlogs. As a company, we have transitioned from doing building lots out in the countryside to changing into a RV centric business. And it's really hit the ... It's hit a nerve. Everybody seems to be interested in what we have here because RV parks are filling up quickly. Boondocking is popular, but it's becoming more prohibitive to boondock in places.

And it doesn't feel as secure to a lot of people. So ownership versus renting is really becoming a trend. And we've tapped into that. We get lakefront properties, turn them into something that you can own, that's bigger than an RV lot typically.

How is this different than other similar places?

Mike Wendland: People are used to many different RV resorts and parks that sell ownership of a lot. It's just a traditional campground.
