“We just got done making a basketball court and playground out of one of the old motel foundations,” he said. “We also have a little picnic area and outdoor games for amenities.”

To get the property ready for Firefly Meadows, Myers said the got rid of three of the old hotel buildings that had fallen into disrepair. The remaining hotel structure is where the office is located. Renovations are underway to turn the some of the old rooms back into visitors accommodations.

“We just got done with the office so people can check-in at the campground, buy a shirt or hat, or borrow a DVD or book,” he said. “There is a pond on the property that we are cleaning up. Once we’re done with that, we’ll stock it with more fish. I’m really excited to get started on that.”

Myers said Firefly Meadows fills a need in Central Nebraska for accommodations for RVs and campers.

According to IBIS World, from 2013 to 2018, the campgrounds and RV parks industry has experienced steady growth.

“The industry is primarily driven by travel-related trends because trips to campgrounds and RV parks are considered cost-efficient alternatives to traditional vacations,” according to the IBIS World report.
