Campground Revenue
2004 CAMPGROUND REVENUE BY MONTH

Campground revenue increased a total of two percent in 2004. While February 2004 showed a significant increase from February 2003, it is actually consistent with revenue levels in February 2002. It should be noted that the decline in 2003 was attributed to economic and war concerns, which impacted leisure travel during the first half of the year.
