At the August 16th Board of Supervisors meeting, the board overheard an annual report from Zach Rozmus, the Executive Director of Washington County Conservation. A revenue report was discussed as part of the annual report, with Rozmus informing the board that Marr Park had recorded record revenue this year with its camping fees. Rozmus spoke with KCII about why he believes the park brought in these unprecedented numbers.

“Campers realize the experience they can get at Marr Park, with it being so close to home with people coming in from Washington, Louisa, and Johnson, and the amenities we can provide on a smaller scale level are unmatched. We have rental properties available, two great fishing locations, and we will continue to expand and invest in things like our fire rings and playground equipment.”

This year’s total revenue from camping fees was approximately $72,000, a $12,000 improvement from last year’s total.
