I don't know anything about the place in this article, but I can tell you about the one I've seen.

It's five miles outside of town. The only business is that Indian bar I mentioned, otherwise there's nothing on either side of the road for miles. The owner of the property goes to great pains to see that nothing is visible from the main road. There is a stage where on weekends there's live music.

All this guy provides is some water and electic hookups and a bunch of tent sites for camping. Security is provided by the campers so no family who got lost looking for Disney World can just wander in to the place.

Mostly nobody does anything too stupid and there hasn't been a single death or serious injury to my knowledge. The only reason anyones dialed 911 is for an ambulance ride because of dehydration. Check that, I think someone messed up cutting firewood with an axe once; which was ugly considering the circumstances...

The only reason anyone goes to town is to spend money on food, beer, ice, camping stuff, fuel, etc. And these people do spend money.

Considering what I have going on in my community I'd take a bunch of folks who just want to run around naked in a red hot heartbeat.
