Webb RV Park seeks approval for family-friendly campground in Milo

The Warren County Board of Supervisors meeting on June 3, 2025, featured significant discussions regarding a proposed campground project in Milo, Iowa. Community members expressed concerns about the transparency and intentions of the developers, Webb RV LLC, who are seeking to establish a 14-site campground.

Residents voiced skepticism about the developers' shifting narratives regarding the campground's purpose. Initially, the developers applied for 15 spots but later indicated they would only proceed with 14. Concerns were raised about the necessity of a bathroom building, with claims that the sites would be self-sufficient. This inconsistency led to distrust among community members, who questioned the developers' commitment to their stated plans.

During the meeting, it was highlighted that the campground's intended audience appeared to change over time. Initially described as a space for "snowbirds" and "friends and family," the developers later suggested it would cater to seniors and adults seeking monthly rentals. This evolution in messaging raised alarms about the campground's potential to operate as a commercial venture rather than a private family space, which could require regulatory oversight.

Additionally, a petition circulated by the developers, branded with their name and address, emphasized their goal of creating a "family-friendly" campground. However, residents remained concerned about the implications of such a project on the local community and the environment.

The discussions underscored the need for clarity and accountability from the developers as the project moves forward. The Board of Supervisors is expected to consider these community concerns in their decision-making process regarding the campground's approval.
