The Montrose Elks Lodge 1053 has plans to expand and improve the RV park that exists behind the lodge on Hillcrest Drive. Those plans, however, faced public opposition after the city planning commission approved a conditional use permit Dec. 11, 2019. The RV park currently occupying the space behind the Elks Lodge has eight sites. Montrose Press writer, Mckenzie Moore, relays in her article, "Many citizens voiced concerns about the proximity of the RV park to their homes, including noise, dust, vibration, crime and privacy. Some also expressed concerns about the ability of large vehicles to enter the park from Hillcrest without disturbing traffic flow, as well as the possibility of the Elks selling the RV park." The RV park will be open to Elks members and their accompanied guests only, and a camp host and manager will be on site. Further rules on parking, fires, and stay lengths will be enforced.
