Agile Living of Orting, Wash., announced that it is planning a 105-space RV park on Bethel Road just outside Port Orchard’s city limits. Sidney Park RV Park is set to open in early October.
This story by Chris Henry originally appeared in the Kitsap Sun.
“The Millennials today are just all about affordability, moveability,” said Dave Baus, owner of Agile Living. He has studied the market and sees a shortage of parks to accommodate the growing number of RV owners.
Kitsap County is reviewing plans for the park on two parcels totaling nearly 10 acres. Amenities include wired high-speed internet at each lot, an off-leash dog park with heated dog wash station, clubhouse with laundry facility, security cameras and an on-site manager. Spaces to accommodate a variety of vehicle sizes will be about 30 feet by 50 feet and will be landscaped for privacy.
The average monthly rent will be $650 to $700; weekly rent will be $220 to $250. No daily rate has been set.
About 16 spaces will be set aside for tiny houses on wheels, which are permitted in Kitsap County like RVs. Baus said his market research shows older RV parks haven’t accommodated this growing trend.
“We get a sense that the tiny house community isn’t being served, and we want to encourage people that own and live in tiny houses that they can come and camp there,” Baus said.
