Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
2012 is our fourth year in business.
What is your primary product or service?
Cabin and campground rentals
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
We are long time outdoor lovers who spent many years camping frequently in Steelville and the surrounding areas. Significant ties to rural Missouri are in both of our upbringings. Tim is an avid hunter and target shooting enthusiast. Cindy shares Tim's passion for target shooting and, most times, would rather be lost in the woods than found at home. For the past 14 years, we have lived part-time in our Steelville weekend cabin on 40 acres. When we were blessed with the opportunity to acquire additional, adjoining acreage we decided to open it for sharing with the public. Thus, ArdPark was born!
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
ArdPark is truly a one-of-a-kind venue. We offer you 2 FULLY FURNISHED house trailer cabins. Guests are provided everything from shampoo/conditioner to coffee/condiments. Campground guests are provided some convenient on-site amenities too. Our guests enjoy significant privacy, spotless accommodations, a personal touch and unprecedented freedoms. Another big differentiation is your dogs are welcome and they DO NOT HAVE TO BE LEASHED. :-)
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
ArdPark's cabins are located 3 miles from its campground, so essentially there are 2 locations. We do hope to expand in the years to come. About 2 years ago we were blessed again when we found and were able to acquire an additional 97 acres for expansion purposes.
