My husband bought an RV park back in November that is located about 7 miles south of Ponca City, Oklahoma, and we rebranded it as Rivershire RV Resort & Camping. We closed the park down in February and cleaned everything up, and the park looks great! It’s right on the banks of the Salt Fork River off HWY 177, and there’s a beautiful grove of pecan trees that provide lots of shade. When we re-opened in March, unfortunately, we were not having great luck with booking, and the park was empty. My husband was so terrified that we were going to have to sell the park if things didn't pick up.

On Saturday, May 11th, I made a post on Facebook (View my profile here) pleading for help, and that post went completely viral!

I am working on t-shirts and other merch to sell online and will get those up as soon as I can!!

We are so overwhelmed with the outpouring of support, and I cannot thank people enough for their help!! We are completely booked for Memorial Day weekend, which is awesome!! I am doing regular updates and videos on the Rivershire Resort Facebook page here.

My husband is a Scoutmaster and loves camping. He’s also an Iraq war veteran. It’s always been his dream to create an outdoor oasis for people to enjoy, and he has poured his heart and soul into this park. I have had several people reach out who are not campers, asking how they can help. So, we are starting a fundraising campaign to build an ADA access river overview and ADA-accessible ramp down to the river!!! The pictures above is a vision of what the deck will look like!!!

In addition to helping us raise funds for an ADA-accessible deck, we will also be donating 10% of proceeds to the local Veteran's Outreach group here in Ponca City called Veteran's Landing; you can read more about them here: https://veteranslanding.org/
