Thomas Point Beach is more than a business for us, it is a culture, and a family. It has been an honor to serve as stewards of Thomas Point Beach for the past 8 years, and my wife and I would like to express our endless gratitude to all of our customers, friends, and supporters, through our years, and through decades here at the campground.
It is after a great deal of thought that we have decided it is time we begin a new chapter in our lives, and we have made the bittersweet decision to sell the campground, to see what else the universe has in store for us.
Times, and the park itself, have changed dramatically over the past several years, and we both feel it is time for us to move on. We have been working this past year to find a buyer, and we are happy to say we are confident we have found one who will continue the legacy of the campground, one that will work with and continue to serve our community.
Although we are excited to announce we are closing on the sale in the next few weeks, we are disappointed to admit that there are still many outstanding questions that we do not have answers to at this time, and will soon be out of our control. That said, we are encouraged that the new buyers have repeatedly expressed their intentions of continuing the parkβs partnerships with local schools, summer and community programs, and even our portfolio of events.
Yes, you read right; the incoming owners have expressed an interest in continuing our beloved Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival. We aren't sure what that is going to look like yet, or even if it will come to pass, but it's encouraging to hear that they understand the importance of the various offerings we have brought to the community in the past, and are willing to consider how they may continue those traditions with our producers, partners, and vendors, who have helped us connect and give back to the community for over six decades. We are excited for the potential future of the campground, with the new owners taking aggressive steps to bring the facilities and offerings into the 21st century, while maintaining the historic charm of the property.
We want to extend our deepest gratitude to all of you for your unwavering support and contributions throughout our journey. It has meant the world to us.
Happy trails, until we meet again.
With sincerest thanks,
~ Mike and Jen
