Missoula County OKs New ‘Lazy Acres’ RV Park in Seeley Lake – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News

MISSOULA, Mont. – Missoula County on Thursday approved plans to develop and open a new RV park in Seeley Lake after their concerns over wastewater and other issues were addressed, according to a report in the Missoula Currrent.

Lazy Acres, proposed by Brandon Grosvenor, will include 70 parking spots for RVs east of Highway 83, just south of the small lakeside community. The development will connect to the Seeley Lake water system and include a wastewater system that will require groundwater monitoring in perpetuity.

“We can have a wastewater solution here that will work. It has a lifelong permitting requirement,” said Paul Forsting, a project representative with IMEG. “It’s a very elaborate, nuanced system that will be with this project as long as there’s a wastewater system within the RV park.”

The project has been in the works for more than five years and began when Grosvenor realized the limited opportunities for RV tourism in Seeley Lake. When the pandemic hit, opportunities to camp also plummeted and, even now, camping spots remain hard to get.

Grosvenor has worked in the RV industry for more than two decades and saw an opportunity in creating Lazy Acres. While he admits that some residents oppose the project, change happens and any impacts can be mitigated.
