RV Park Proposed For Walnut Hill
February 24, 2025
An RV Park is being proposed for Walnut Hill.
Matthew Coverdale of Pensacola is proposing the C&E Destinations RV Park between Cypress Street and Pine Forest Road, just north of Arthur Brown Road.
A written narrative provided to the Escambia County Development Review Committee states that the RV park would initially contain ten 25×35 concrete pads connected by concrete drive 200 feet in length from Pine Forest Road with a cul-de-sac. It states that the 20-acre parcel is being split out from a parcel at 24 North Cypress Street, and the applicant is seeking advance confirmation that the RV park would be allowed.

I say no as well .. but if it is private land and county approves it.. all the nonsense in this world isn’t gonna change a thing !!
No! No! No! This is not the place for an RV park! People move out to the country to get away from these places and here comes somebody trying to make a quick easy dollar not caring about the community or the people in that community! Please just Go build one close to an attraction or closer to job sites not in the middle of the country.
Plans and written narrative does NOT MATCH
Wonder what type of septic will be REQUIRED to protect the ground water and creek runoff
It doesn’t show where they are going to put the docks. Much water travels through there!
CW. People are living in sheds, turned into a living area, and campers, due to the very fact that houses are way too expensive. I am lucky. I bought my place back in 1995, a custom built home on five, totally fenced in acres for $93,000. Even though my home burnt down in 2001, due to aluminum wiring, I had to buy a double wide, cause I couldn’t afford to build another home. Thankfully, the double wide was only $63,000. Which I’ve have since paid off.
Just………..NO ! ! !
I hope it doesnt get approved. That area has too many people already.
@cw you’re right. You can get a shed delivered and pay $500 a month for 600 square feet, or about 15k upfront. I did one for a family member in Alabama. It cost 5k for me to do electrical, insulation, drywall and plumbing. So for $20k, they have their own place. Alabama is super friendly to tiny homes like that. You can see them routinely in mobile home and camper parks.
Even florida is warming up to the idea. At least one of the corrections officers in century lives in a converted shed on state property. As long as permits are pulled, I don’t see any issues with them.
It’s shocking how many people are living in campers and sheds these days. Even the traditional mobile home is too expensive.
