Beginning of the end for Lake Stone a nice quite, peaceful “campground”, fishing spot and picnic area. An” RV PARK” is not a campground. It is a spot that RV’ers can stay as long as they desire some even permanent. It is not designed for campers. I know. I do some RV’ing so am speaking from experience. Obviously there is confidence of approval as the land has been being cleared for over a year. GOODBYE NATURE!. Move over for civilization Who wouldn’t enjoy looking at the beauty of an RV (subdivision) PARK instead of the fruits of nature. Trees, little swampy streams and wild creatures that call it home.. Of course progress rules. Goodbye Lake Stone. Enjoy while you can.. It is about to change. The Beginning of the End!.

I would be glad to see it. I tried the county run park, but the manager was so rude and nosey, I won’t go back. I would love a place close to home for an overnighter.

No “Trashy Tourists” allowed… Only local residents…

My main concern is how awful of condition West Hwy 4 is in already, and more traffic would make it that much worse. I wished they would pave this road from one end to the other, that would certainly help. When we have to travel Hwy.4 to go into town, it just beats us and our vehicle up, we dread the trip every time. I keep saying it, West Hwy 4 is the heartbeat of the north end, please take care of it!

Just repeating in clearer language, I had meant to humbly ask, the access road and parking lot belong to whom?
Second, What’s Commit Zoning on this?
Third, what will it do for that community there?
As far as I see it, that spot on this green earth may be tapped to prosper many more if done well. May the Lake be red-handed, by darn, I humbly cannot you’re type that darn word!

I remember when this property was for sale. I didn’t have the means at the time to submit an offer. I had great aspirations to make a really cozy bait and convenience shop to cater to the park campers and anglers. I also wanted to rent out kayaks at the back of the property across from the ramp. I would have had a few cabins for those that do not have RVs and campers. Of course, anyone can do what they will with their money and property, I thought it a good business idea to build upon what was already in place…not to provide competition. That would have been too risky for the park as well as the business.

We frequent lake stone. Absolutely love it. Friendly clean quiet little campground.
I’ll still use lake stone It would be a shame to have those woods destroyed. But what do u do. I just don’t see the new place filling up or even staying busy. The person is making a bad financial move in my opinion.

Most of the writers here have lost track of the fact that this is private property. If you want to turn it into a park, petition the BCC, or the State to buy it and turn it into a park. Or better yet, invest your own money in it and make it a park. Otherwise, leave the people that invested THEIR own money in this property alone. An RV park will mean more business for the gas stations, grocery stores, and other retail in Century, and an increased assessment on the tax rolls which will mean more property tax collected for Escambia Co. We should be thanking the investors that are willing to invest anything in the Century Area.

It seems like a private expansion that will use county natural resources. The service it provides will compete with the county for those county resources, and the county already provides those exact same services, prepaid by tax dollars. The investment we made will be devalued if this is approved for less access to the residents who prepaid.

I know how many of you feel. Just below 5 points off Woodbine road is a large lake that was surrounded by woods. The owner died, and now the property is being “developed”, meaning the woods are gone now, no telling how much habitat lost to proposed home sites. If you own indeveloped property, believe me, someone’s got their eye on it.
