Opening a Camp Site Anywhere

Featured

There is camping potential for any piece of land, no matter how rough and remote it might seem. While not everyone has the advantage of finding an ideal piece of land that could accommodate their ideas and dreams, there is no reason to be discouraged from achieving your goal of opening a camp site, no matter what piece of land you are presented with. No matter how many thorns and thistles are in the way, you can always turn things around, given the right guidance and a little help.

The following are a few practical steps that could turn the most inhospitable pieces land into great camping sites.

Clearing the Space

Naturally, clearing the place of all that is undesirable is the first step in transforming you land into something hospitable. At absolutely no cost, this activity helps you visualize better just what can be done with what remains. The vast majority of camp site are simply cleared and cultivated pieces of land.

Adapting the Terrain

Whether it is rough land, uneven land, or land with some infrastructure already on it, knowing how to adapt the terrain is the next important step. It is vital to remember that, while clearing the space is the first step when getting started, one shouldn’t get rid of everything in the way. Make conscious choices about what really must go and be creative with what remains. The best ideas often come from making use of what one has. As a matter of fact, this might just be what makes your campsite unique and unforgettable. This is also a great way to save a lot of money.

Visualizing

Don’t rush it. Taking your time is highly advisable for both those looking to temporarily set up camp as well as someone looking to mark-up permanent sights. A great strategy that can be used here is to categorize areas that are suitable, convenient, and hospitable, and then use the rest of the space as rest and recreation areas.

Investing

There is an extra step that has to be taken for campsite owners – investment. Once you have cleaned all that needs to be cleaned, adapted all that can be adapted, and decided on what goes where, do not hesitate to invest in what remains. Hiring the right people do to the job is something that will guarantee that good choices are met with competent execution. When it comes to landscaping, there are no more competent hands than Landscape Maintenance Henderson NV, a landscaping company that offers a wide range of services that will transform any piece of land into whatever you need it to be.

Control

Finally, do not be afraid to explore your own terrain, taking frequent walks from time to time. This will help you spot the inevitably overlooked areas and allow you to address whatever concerns need to be addressed before a visiting camper does. Pay close attention to what people who spend the night at the camp site have to say to continually improve the overall camping experience.

Conclusion

Keep revisiting the steps you made to get the camp started and it will stay hospitable for as long as it needs to.

Open a hotel with no money

If there is one thing that really annoys me of what I see and hear around Italy in recent years, it is the general climate of distrust that has been created.

Let me be clear, even I live in the real world:  I constantly read the production data of the hotels I follow and I am perfectly aware that we are not in the era of “fat cows”.

But while I understand and accept the complaints of experienced hoteliers who demoralize by comparing today’s data and earnings with those of 20 years ago, I find no justification in the depression of young aspiring hoteliers.

Unfortunately I often meet guys in their 30s who have already accumulated a certain experience, have a great passion for hotels, but have in fact already given up their dreamof starting their own because “they are no longer the times” because “today without money do not go anywhere or because “there are no more margins to do this job” ..

too many young people got screwedSHARE TWEET

The news only talks about bankruptcies and suicides, entrepreneurs complain about the crisis and parents at home indicate the opening of a company as the shortest way to bankruptcy.

If you are in the same situation, I’ll give you three antidotes on the fly to avoid the same end.

  1. Do not watch the news again (today on the internet you can choose YOUR sources of information)
  2. Talk about your projects and compare only with successful entrepreneurs (success = they did it and when they encounter difficulties, they look for a way to overcome them instead of blaming the crisis)
  3. Unless your parents are part of the above category, talk to them about the good memories you have in common, cooking, football, whatever you want, but do not let their fears stifle your plans.

Now, the reason that you pushed me to write today’s article and tell you the story of Joseph is a discussion that I witnessed a few weeks ago on a group fb …

In practice, a guy asked for advice on how to make a business plan and I turned a link to an old article of mine. (if you are interested , find it here )

Up to here everything is ok.

Then he asked me if with a business plan it is possible to borrow money from the banks I simply answered the truth: “yes”.

The reactions that were unleashed under my comment were truly disheartening and unfortunately are a disturbing mirror of the society in which we live today.

It goes from the classic “banks lend money only to those who have” to “remain to be the receptionist and not create mess alone” to  “forget to open a hotel today if you do not want to starve” until you get to “not listen to these charlatans who tell only fairy tales “.

Having overcome the instinct to start a media war , I remained faithful to my principles:

I disabled the notifications to the comment, I closed fb and I went back to work.SHARE THE TWEET

Despite this, I had a little voice inside that did not leave me alone.

Although I am convinced that discussing who is the victim of his wrong beliefs and speaks only by hearsay is a huge waste of time and energy, I could not help but think about the consequences that those comments may have on the future choices of that boy and those like him, want to realize their own entrepreneurial project.

So I decided to do the thing that seems more correct: I thought of a real case of a boy I know (and know that it is not the only one), I called him and asked him if he was willing to share his history with all aspiring hoteliers who need some encouragement.
