thanks Jeff, I stayed in Cody's 5th wheel at Oak Ridge. it was very nice and comfortable, I just wonder if I wouldn't like a more permanent park model better. I really want a house, but not sure I need anything that big and all the house headaches. smile I do see some points with moving and around then selling for a RV.


Rob You may want to keep this in mind. The taxes on the lake are real high, you can pay the yearly lease cheaper. The Park models feel more like a home setting. You can have one custom made fairly quickly with all the upgrades you would want. You will not have to go out to the lake to do up keep, like mowing. just my .02

I agree with this - clean well kept and spacious.

Awesome Rental at the front too for larger groups.


Whether you think you can or you can't, you are probably right.

If you find a waterfront lot I would say a Park model is a great option as resale will always be possible when waterfront. If you get an interior lot I wouldn't so much recommend one to start until you find the lot you really want to settle in on. As far as inside every day feel and creature comforts a park model is a great comparison to home. After being in and out of both I really would prefer a residential model 5th wheel as the double slide living and large bedroom slide out makes the space wider than a park model. We bought what was priced right when we got our camper. 1 year later we WANT more space but we do not need more space or payment at the time.

I will be out the last 2 weekends of Feb if you want to come out to my place I will walk you through park models and all different kinds of 5th wheels.

I've had a Park model at Fisherman's Cove for almost two years. The place is spotless, well maintained, and has a great deep water ramp. For those days you do not feel like off loading the boat there is great fishing off the well lit floating dock or stationery docks, also gated, and it is smaller where everyone knows everyone and looks after each other. Highly recommend a Park model home if you are going to remain in one spot. Most of the homes in Fisherman's are Park models and those that aren't are much newer 5th wheels or larger newer camping trailers. Really hard to appreciate the place unless you see it.

Pope's Landing is also a great location. Good boat ramps and located on the west side in Big Mustang.

James Thompson, who owns Pope's and Lake Fork Resort is in the process of building a brand new park across from Pope's on Little Mustang. Its gated and fenced. He also sells park homes. They are going to be big lots and its a beautiful piece of property.

I opted for a mobile home, 3 br.2 bath, nearly 1,200 sq.ft. in Popes Landing. Great place. It all depends on what works for you. RV, 5th wheel, park model, mobile home, small house near the lake. Just look around and see what is for sale.

My waterfront is $3750/year. The interior lot I had was $1800/year. Paradise has lots around 1400 and up. Water is included in that fee and our park has on site septic so you do not have to dump and carry out your own sewage. Gated entrance that is closed after 5pm as well so you do not have the public freely able to drive through while you are sleeping with rods out on the boat.

Man, I can't even remember where I have my place: Fisherman's Camp, not Fisherman's Cove.

The property is protected from the north wind. Give James an email if you have any questions. I know he's about to start meeting with people and taking deposits on the lots. James@popeslanding.com
