Ga. County Revisits Lost Horizon Glamping Retreat Proposal

Bronson Grace spent $18,000 to build a camper van based on a 2007 Chevrolet Express 3500 Extended with a fiberglass high-top, purchased for $12,000. The build included exterior refinishing, a welded gear carrier with solar panel, and an interior with kitchen, diesel heater, and AC. The van completed a four-month journey from Canada to Mexico.

Neo Camper has introduced the Terra 500, a single-axle travel trailer for the U.S. market, designed for off-road and off-grid use, accommodating up to three people. Priced at around $40,000 (€34,500 at the time of publication), it features a kitchen with an electric smoker/grill, dual-zone fridge, and fold-down sinks, plus 600W of solar and 600Ah lithium batteries. The shell measures 11.5 feet (3.5 m), with a total length of 18.18 feet (5.54 m).

Adventure Van Conversions (AVC), based in Loveland, Colorado, has unveiled the Pacifica, a camper van built on an AWD Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with a 144-inch wheelbase. The vehicle features a pop-top roof tent, 480 W solar panel, winch, upgraded suspension with Fox shocks, and all-terrain tires. Inside, it offers a lounge with a bench seat, kitchen with induction cooktop, bathroom with shower, bedroom, and garage. The electrical system includes a 690 Ah battery bank and 3,000 W inverter, with a 180-liter fresh water tank. The build cost exceeds $300,000.

Two campgrounds on Lake Ontario in New York have been put up for sale. Niagara Shores Campground and Conference Center is listed at $3.5 million, while Olcott Harbor Resort is listed at $2.1 million. The properties, located two miles apart, remain operational during the sale process.

Colonial Mast Campground in Naples, Maine, owned by the same family for nearly 50 years, is listed for $9.8 million. The 117-acre property on Long Lake includes 110 RV campsites, 23 open year-round, plus a four-bedroom owner's house.

Hundreds of RV spots inside Isla Blanca Park (Cameron County, Texas) are still a work in progress, according to KRGV. In a few weeks, Cameron County parks will open reservations for a small number of spots for the winter season. Work is currently underway at the RV area inside Isla Blanca Park. While there are still RVs at the park, hundreds of spots have been out of the picture. That’s sent some longtime RVers elsewhere and some of their business along with them. Channel 5 News spoke with Cameron County Parks and Recreation about the upgrades that started last year. “We’re doing a major infrastructure improvement project to the RV sites that are located inside of the gate. There are about 577 RV sites that we’re upgrading the electrical, the water and sewer. So, those are temporarily closed until the project is completed,” Cameron County Parks and Recreation Director Joe Vega said. Officials said last year the spots should reopen for the summer 2027 season.
