Texas RV park reports less campers, record revenue
(March 20, 2014) -- The shale and oil boom in south Texas led to a record amount of site nights booked at Parkview Riverside RV Park for the 2012 Winter season. When many workers left, owner Doug Shearer expected a hit in bookings for the 2013 season. What he didn't expect was a 35 percent increase in revenue, despite a 20 percent decrease in camper nights.
