New Canyon Springs RV Resort, Idaho
Canyon Springs RV Resort
California investor ,Ted Caldwell of TCC Properties, invested $3 million to build Canyon Springs RV Resort, a 136-site resort in Caldwell that is attracting RVers and residents from existing RV parks in the greater Boise area.
Ted Caldwell believes in the city that shares his last name. So much, in fact, that even though the California-based real estate developer has never previously invested in Idaho, he has spent $3 million through his company to develop Canyon Springs RV Resort into a property that will attract traveling RVers as well as residents from existing RV parks in the greater Boise area.
“We’re already attracting residents of other Boise area RV parks who tell us they are pleased to see a new high-quality RV resort in the area with spacious RV sites,” Caldwell said, adding, “Visitors to the Boise area are also staying with us and enjoying our new facilities.”
A grand opening has been set for Oct. 9 and 10 in an event that not only celebrates the opening of a new business, but one that heralds the promise of more new businesses coming to the area of Caldwell where Canyon Springs is located.
Indeed, through his company, TCC Properties, Inc., Caldwell invested $83,000 in materials for a 10,000 foot water line extension and paid another $82,000 for a quarter-mile-long sewer line extension that makes it easier and more affordable for other new businesses to open up near Canyon Springs. TCC Properties also paid Idaho Power $60,000 to bring electricity to the site.
“Having these utilities extended opens the door to new development in Caldwell, potentially years in advance of what we might have otherwise expected,” said Brent Orton, Caldwell’s director of public works, adding, “extension of these utilities improves opportunities for agribusiness, manufacturing, commercial interests, and residential development. We see this partnership with Ted Caldwell as a critical step to stimulate local economic growth in Caldwell and in Canyon County.”
Canyon Springs, for its part, also creates a much needed increase in accommodation opportunities for major events like the Caldwell Night Rodeo and Canyon County Fair.
The nicely landscaped $3 million RV resort has a 2.5 acre fishing pond stocked with largemouth bass as well as a 3,500-square foot meeting lodge with flat screen TVs and a commercial kitchen designed for major events, such as RV rallies, weddings and corporate or chamber of commerce events.
Shade trees have been planted throughout the resort and there are green spaces between each RV site. The RV sites are 60-feet long and come equipped with full hookups, including water, sewer, electrical and cable television service as well as a lamp post that provides night lighting. Basic WiFi is also available for free with high-speed WiFi available for a fee. Pull through RV sites and lakefront sites are available.
In addition to providing spacious, nicely landscaped RV sites and upscale amenities, Canyon Springs offers easy access for travelers and local residents alike.
“Being right off the Highway 20/26 and I-84 intersection makes this an easy-on, easy-off location for overnight guests traveling through the area, and yet there is no traffic noise to speak of,” Caldwell said. “This, in turn, makes it desirable for longer-term stays, owing to its quiet environment and convenient access to and from the greater Boise area.”
Caldwell said many of the other RV parks in the area are a bit more work to get to and involve many surface streets and traffic congestion. “But we are very easy to get to and from,” he said. “Our location provides a unique mix of a more quiet/rural feel while still being just a few minutes away from all of the amenities of a city.”
Caldwell said Canyon Springs is being developed in phases. The first 136 sites are available now, while additional sites will be developed in subsequent phases subject to demand. A grand opening event is set for Oct. 9-10 to introduce the resort to the greater Boise area community.
Canyon Springs is offering a new move-in special of $50 off the first month and 50 percent off the fourth month, with deeply discounted daily rates to introduce the property to new guests.
For those who don’t have an RV, Canyon Springs also offers a rental cabin that sleeps four adults with a private bedroom, loft and kitchen facilities. Additional cabins will be available in the months ahead. The resort also features private tiled showers and laundry facilities.
The resort is located 28 miles northwest of Boise just off I-84. For more information, please visit www.CanyonSpringsRVResort.com.
