Like most RVers, I enjoy RV parks in forested areas. However, I don’t like being so close to my neighbors that I can’t put my awning out – I need my space! Lost Lake Resort offers plenty of space and is surrounded by lots of trees. My wife, Marilyn, says it reminds her of camping in the forest when she was a kid. Lost Lake Resort is a secluded resort just south of Tacoma, Washington off of I-5 near the Fort Lewis Army Base. This RV community is different because you purchase your own lot and develop it however you want (within the covenants of the association of course). Lots start around $29,000 and the association fees are $750 a year. It’s a gated community with great amenities as you’ll see in the video.
This is an upscale RV community and your RV must be 15 years old or newer in order to keep it here. Also, to prevent this from becoming a trashy park and to protect your investment, you can only live here a maximum of six months out of each year. That’s not a problem for “snowbirds” as they will move to their park model in Arizona or Florida during winter and then come back here for the spring and summer.
There are also some nice park models available and though many of the existing lots have already been developed and sold, they are continuing to develop a few new lot sites.
About the lake, it isn’t really lost, in fact it’s an 11 acre spring-fed lake stocked with rainbow trout. Check out this video for a more detailed look at this style of living.
