Historic Bear Creek Property Gets New Life Under Local Owners

Jason and Nicole Earls have restored the historic Bear Creek Cabins and RV park on U.S. Highway 101 in Washington state. The couple removed a 30-yard dumpster of debris, replaced furniture and bedding, and repaired infrastructure. Cabins now offer modern amenities, and the RV park provides partial and full hook-up sites. The former restaurant will remain closed for 4–5 years until funding for a major renovation is secured.

RV Industry Testifies Before International Trade Commission on Hardwood, Plywood Investigation

On July 16, U.S. Representative Rudy Yakym, Winnebago Industries' Chad Reece, and Genesis Products' Jon Wenger testified before the USITC in the final phase of an antidumping and countervailing duty investigation on hardwood plywood from China, Indonesia, and Vietnam. They argued that ultra-thin tropical plywood from Indonesia does not compete with U.S.-produced hardwood plywood. The material, known as lauan plywood, is a critical input for RV sidewalls and roofs, with no domestic alternatives offering the same properties. The USITC is expected to vote on August 19.

Marthasville aldermen decline to revisit RV park plan

At their July 15 meeting, the Marthasville Board of Aldermen voted not to revisit a proposal for an RV park at Wessel Park. Mayor David Lange said Missouri DNR officials still support the project, but bids received in June ranged from $1.29 million to $1.82 million, far exceeding the original budget. Alderman Leo Meyer, who moved to halt preliminary work last month, maintained his opposition. The city received a $375,000 LWCF matching grant in August 2025, but the plan was scaled down from 21 RV sites to three. Mayor Lange argued that abandoning the project forfeits the grant, but aldermen Meyer and Chris DeVore were not persuaded.

Point Arena City Council approves a campground it isn't ready to build

The Point Arena, Calif., City Council on July 21, 2026, approved permits for a 10-site campground on city-owned land at Arena Cove, but stated it is not ready to build it. The parcel sits in a FEMA 100-year flood zone. The seasonal campground (May–October) would include seven tent sites, three tiny homes, and a space for a manager's RV. The permits are needed to qualify for construction funds from the California State Coastal Conservancy, but the council did not commit to construction. A council member noted the city already has more projects than staff can handle.

Family Spent $7,500 on Camper Repairs, but It Still Needs Work

Owners of a 2007 Adirondack 31BH travel trailer spent $7,500 on repairs for water damage, but the trailer remains broken. The camper spent all of 2025 at a shop, where technicians replaced wiring, suspension, and rebuilt the bathroom wall, but the floor, awning, and water pump still need attention. The family has invested about $15,000 in structural repairs alone, exceeding the purchase price.
