Our journey buying this RV Park: • We're Building an RV Park
I look forward just to seeing the different steps you both go through to build an amazing RV park. That was so amazing how you opened the park for free when everything was happening with Yellowstone. You both are wonderful, caring people, thank you!
She's so precious in the blanket
Love that generator. Get the big brother 240 version and install a reliance control generator transfer switch on your well and you’ll have water on grid down.
We are so excited to follow your journey since we are building an RV Resort as well ! Just got passed the rezoning with the planning/zoning commission yesterday, now on to the city in a couple more weeks! Keep the faith and continue all your hard and great things will continue to happen! 😀👍
GUYS!! That’s HUGE!!!! That was such a relief for us
Hey good luck living your dream. Don’t get discouraged.
You’re all truly the best! We’ve loved both of our stays there and can’t wait to make another trip!
wow. the fishing day for the kids. how special. love your channel. next year when I'm out west, I'm coming. you might not get rid of me. I love helping, I love children but most of all I love the outdoors. this year I'm doing Europe in a unimog and it's been fantastic. you both keep on keeping on. God Bless your family.
Thank you for sharing. I’m taking notes. I’m in the early stages of creating a campground & retreat. I appreciate how real you two are 🙏🏽🔺👨🏽🌾
Could you make a complete guide to opening an rv park and what you did and the process. The plans, the finances, etc. I want to really bad and having trouble figuring everything out and where to start.
Great vids btw!!
This is a great idea! Yes we will!!
Yes please!!!
This is great! As full time RVers we are Excited to follow your journey!!
Great stuff! Good luck!!
I always thought, owning and running an RV park. Could be fun in the country. Good job on the learning curves.
Great video! We love the rv park!
We LOVE having you guys here!!
You guys are awesome and keep up the amazing work!🫶🏻
Can't wait to see your experience about the new soler system in your rig guys.
Love this series. Building an rv park
For those asking, here is the link to book at our RV Park: TheParkAtSwanValley.com
Love your videos. We are also building a campground, just passed our 1 year open to the public. Learning a ton, and loving all of it. I'll keep watching, I can really relate. Thanks for sharing.
Do you have your own water system too? And if you do, can you regulate the water pressure on the rigs.
Best of luck on this journey, I'm going to love watching these episodes!
Thank you!!!
So going to stay there when I get out west again! Congrats!
We’re ready for you!!
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Yess!!
Looks amazing and love your videos, I work in an RV park and can agree with the help part cause there’s a lot that goes into it all but we’re here to accompany you on your wonderful journey🥳
Your energy is great, looking forward to following this series! Best of luck from Kansas!
Thank you!! We’re open to any and all suggestions!
Very cool!
Love this thank you... I have been soooo pulled to buy a park.. not sure where .. but I really feel GOD will lead me.. love following you
We stayed there towards the end of last May. Great little park. It was so quiet there, you would think we were literally the only people there. 😉
Love you guys
The love is mutual John
My wife, son and I are trying to go full time living and have a set up like your toy hauler! Y’all are inspiring us and we can’t wait to visit swan valley when we get on the road! Y’all seem like such fun people, let’s be friends! 😄
Yes!! We're all about this! Sending you all the good vibes as you make it happen!
I love seeing your videos
Thanks Elaine! Just uploaded episode 2 of this series!!
Very cool guys! Would love to see the cabin build. Thinking of doing this in Alaska
Thanks for this update, hopefully my wife and I will make it out there sometime!
YUSS!!! When?
@@TheJurgys how late in the fall are you planning on being open, we're considering October but no solid plans yet?
The infamous jar of screws 😂 love you guys
Very important to have 😂
Buying that generator ASAP! 😂 16 gallon propane tank on the skoolie, that would work phenomenal for backup backup.
My husband's grandpa used glass peanut butter jars to store his bolts, nails, scews, & electrical little bits. He would screw the lids onto the bottom of a 2x4. Then he'd fill the jar & tighten to jar onto the lid that was in place. He hung the 2x4 to the shop wall with brackets. Basically creating a shelf of jars that hung below the shelf instead of resting above the shelf. It works great! You can even use different sizes of jars & it still works.
My only additional suggestion is to double check that the lid has 1 continuous thread (like a Mason jar) rather than 4 or 5 short threads like disposable plastic ware.
This is great!!!
Charli and I loved staying with you guys and we can't wait to get back. Great update!
So excited to have you guys back Ed!! Always welcome!!
@@TheJurgys thanks. You guys are awesome. Can’t wait to try out one of the new drive thru motorhome spots!
HAVE A GREAT DAY
Hope you are doing well,💞
😂love it
Great content! How did you get your water? Did you guys have to drill a well?
Okay! I am so booking a spot here in the future. Do you do tent camping? 🤣🤣🤣 2:00
Have you thought about a whole park back up generator that ties into the mains power for the future? 45kw whisper watt by MQ power? Not sure what other efficient things you can do to keep things going under adverse conditions. Wind generator with solar in tandem with a battery system for constant power off grid? Clean showers for tent campers has always been a big thing for me as well as water free toilets for the dudes. Since you guys love to keep things family oriented I don't see you offering a wifi service for guests, but if you did I work in IT and could offer some tips.
We DO have tent camping! Just Google “The Park at Swan Valley” and reserve through the website or call us 🤩
Also we DO have wifi! Starlink - open to any and all tips there!!
Also love the other suggestions, please keep them coming!!
@@TheJurgys starlink is great because you can do multiple cellular vendors. but if eventually you guys upgrade, finding a local wireless company that can do a point to point microwave antenna to get you increased bandwidth is always ideal, even in the middle of a location that might not have high speed data.
Super excited to see your progress and thank you for the information to book a campsite. I'm all the way out in California but a road trip sounds amazing and I've always wanted to photograph the Tetons.
Your little ones are adorable as I also have three daughters.
Are y’all doing the additional RV pads yourselves or do y’all have a contractor you use to do that
Solar power is your friend as you guys already know how about make a solar powered RV park for lights and in case of power goes out. and other smaller things to power. Like an electric golf cart
Would you guys consider workcampers for extra help? I travel out of my camper doing workcamping around the country & this seems like a nice place to come work, play & learn for a season!

Have you thought about those that like to hammock camp, I love hammock camping, alot of camp sites dont have trees that can't be used.
We LOVE hammock camping as well. More trees are in the future of this park for sure! Also considering building pergolas for hammock sections.
How do you guys like the solar energy that Jerry installed in your Mobile home? Can you actually run both fridge and microwave for 8 hours?
Hey Sebastian! We're lovin it!! We'll be making an update video on it soon
U should use pro long oil engine treatment, it will help making ur generator last longer
oh good to know!
@@TheJurgys buy the heavy duty oil treatment , that one is the best
It's amazing 😍 how far you have came since buying the RV park 🏞️ I'm in Montana.. where did you get those outside chairs those are cool?
From camping world! 🤘🏼♥️🤘🏼
Also thank you! You’re not far from us!
What kind of zoning permits do you need for building an RV park?
There's a LOT that goes into this. Commercial zoning is one part of it, but other aspects are dependent on your city and county and state. Swan Valley is now no longer allowing anymore RV Parks, so we got it just in time. Are you looking to do one??
I’m very interested in opening a small rv park and then expanding. What is the magic number? Cost. Headaches? Steps?
Are you open to it being anywhere? How much involvement do you want to be in it? Seasonal or year round?
He has a random jar but does he also have the dad jokes and the sneeze
Sneeze is getting louder…so..close
@@TheJurgys Imagine a dad sneeze being the next big storm. I've heard of dudes that aren't even dads but they're basically practicing
Did you build your campground, or did you take over this one
We bought 30 acres that had a few hookups and have been building onto it!
2nd haha keep it up
🥈
Do you own your own water system? And if you do, can you regulate each trailer's water pressure?
We do! We have 3 separate wells and we regulate the pressure on each of the 3 pumps so that it kicks on when it starts to get low and caps off at 55 PSI so it doesn’t give too much pressure for RVs
Get a couple of cats. . . .TOM to chase JERRY down
Actually smart. Would some guests hate the cats??
@@TheJurgys some barn cat are too wild they will run unless cornered . . probably chase off dogs too
How are you able to pick up a dead mouse like it's nothing? I have to pick up a glue trip with a mouse on it and I got so worried I used the handle of a broom to do so
Gloves. 😂
@@TheJurgys better than a broom handle
How did you decide on your location?
We were looking at locations in Tennessee, Oregon, Florida, Texas, and after spending a few days in Swan Valley, you’ll see why we chose here :)
It really is one of the most beautiful areas
How quickly did you become profitable? Sounds like you are in an area where it snows. Are you closed in the winter? Thank you!!
Still not profitable actually, and have a lot more we need to put into it! We closed this winter and next winter should have have the campground running still.
Why don't you have a link to your park webpage in the description?
Oh! We need that! Just Google “The Park at Swan Valley” and it’ll pop up! But we’ll add it!
TheParkAtSwanValley.com :)
You could just buy a huge propane tank that you could just have a truck come refill to make things easier on your selves
Grow peppermint, mice hate it
Oooh not a bad idea
Are you going to do more videos on UA-cam or are you strictly Instagram based now?
Just uploaded one today on UA-cam Dana! Episode 2 of this series :)
Just curious...can you purchase an RV, park it in an RV park and charge rent for it?
you can at ours! depending on specifics of course
@@TheJurgys Thank you!
Website for reservations?

What is the address of your park?
Google Maps “The Park at Swan Valley” is best (and helps with search) but it’s also
1908 Chapel Rd
Swan Valley, ID 83449
Jurgy rigged everything brought me here

My husband is a licensed contractor and can use some extra cash and wouldn't charge an arm and a leg 😂
