Turning Natural Views Into Memorable Spaces At Your RV Park

It's surprising how many RV parks sit on beautiful land but do little to bring out its best features. If you have a great view on your property — even if it's just one special corner — there's a way to turn it into something guests will remember.

Start by finding the right spot

Walk the property with fresh eyes. Look for elevation changes, a group of old trees, a lake view, or even a spot where the sunlight hits just right. Most parks have at least one place that stands out — it's just a matter of noticing it.

Shape the view

Think of the spot like a photograph. What would make it more striking? You might need to clear away a few bushes, trim low branches, or open up part of the view that's blocked. A little cleanup can turn a hidden corner into a centerpiece.

Make it inviting

Once the area looks good, add a place for guests to sit and enjoy it. Even a couple of simple benches can change how people experience the space. A well-placed chair turns a five-minute stop into an afternoon visit.

Bring in color

Adding some low-maintenance plants around the area can make a big difference. Pick hardy, native flowers or shrubs that bloom at different times of the year. A little color helps draw attention without adding much upkeep.

Give it a name

A good view deserves an identity. A small sign calling it something like “Willow Point” or “Sunset Hill” makes it feel special. You can even add it to your park's map or welcome guide as a featured stop.

Final thought

If your park has a natural highlight, it's worth making the most of it. A few simple steps can turn an overlooked spot into one of the things people talk about long after they leave.
