 A long-awaited campground will soon become a reality in the city of Williamson. A lease agreement with Sycamore Fueling Company was acquired in 2012 to start construction on the new project. However, after the lease was signed, the area was logged, delaying the initial start. Which was really a good thing. It's better to have it before the campground comes in, plus it added a lot more trails up there that we can use now. The hope is for those utilizing the Hatfield and McCoy trail system to no longer have to stay in another city. With our location it would be easy access for them, just to unload and from here they can ride their TVs to anywhere they want to go. We're still waiting on the engineers to get the final layout as far as we're wanting to have a primitive camp and trailer hookups, also with some luxury cabins. The new campground will hopefully generate revenue in the city of Williamson. The park board will be running the campground, it's just going to be another form of revenue for us because we don't really have much coven in, which will help out with our facilities and upgrading them. The 20 acre campsite, just off Route 52, is projected to open in the summer with the intent of being used during the Hatfield and McCoy Marathon and Rally in the Valley.
