Gov. Dave Heineman today outlined a plan to invest $1.7 million for improvements and expansion at Mahoney State Park in eastern Nebraska and Lake McConaughy State Recreation Area in western Nebraska.
“Tourism is important to Nebraska, and these strategic investments will help meet the current demands at two of our outstanding, popular state parks.”
McConaughy State Recreation Area will be receiving improvements to Lone Eagle and Cedar Vue campgrounds. At Lone Eagle, campers will enjoy full service capabilities at 84 sites that provide water and sewage hook-ups, in addition to 50 amp electrical hook-ups. The project will also allow upgrades to the Cedar Vue campground providing 20 full service sites, 40 electrical sites, and new equestrian friendly accommodations at 35 of these 60 sites.

A report in Daily Finance says that the RV industry continues to recover in 2012, with higher numbers being manufactured, up as much as 10% over 2011. A dealer in Ohio is cited as having sales up 18% this year with anticipation of another 15% in 2013.
In 2009, during the so called “Great Recession,” sales dropped 40%. The industry’s resurgence has been largely due to less costly towable campers.
