Blue Water Development Expands Campground Management Portfolio to Maryland with Addition of Sun RV Resorts' Frontier Town and Fort Whaley RV Resorts

OCEAN CITY, Md., May 25, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Premier outdoor hospitality management firm Blue Water Development announced that it recently assumed management of two popular sister campgrounds owned by Sun RV Resorts in coastal Maryland: Frontier Town RV Resort and Campground in Berlin and Fort Whaley RV Resort and Campground in Whaleyville. The management transition was made official on April 1, 2021.

Just a short drive to Ocean City, Md. and Assateague Island National Seashore, these campgrounds join Blue Water's portfolio of twelve Eastern U.S. RV resorts and bring its tally of campgrounds on the Delmarva Peninsula to seven.

"These iconic campgrounds are part of Coastal Maryland's decades-long family camping tradition, and it's a special privilege for Blue Water to begin managing two great properties right in our backyard," said Blue Water CEO Todd Burbage. "We look forward to continuing what Sun RV Resorts started with these destinations by providing guests with an elevated experience and continued opportunities to make cherished family memories at these unique properties for years to come."

Frontier Town RV Resort and Campground boasts 688 total rentals comprised of RV sites, cabins, and tent camping sites with elevated amenities. More than just a campground, Frontier Town is a multi-attraction destination offering a water park, mini-golf, an arcade, and the renowned Western Experience theme park.

Fort Whaley RV Resort and Campground offers 210 total rentals including RV sites, cabins, and primitive tent sites. Guests can enjoy various on-site amenities, including a heated pool, mini golf, an arcade, a fishing lake, and a free shuttle to Frontier Town to enjoy the water park. Fort Whaley guests receive free admission to the water park and Western Experience park, as well as discounted access to other attractions in true sister campground fashion.

"The Frontier Town attractions have been synonymous with local family fun for decades, and we are thrilled to continue that tradition for guests at both campgrounds," Burbage added. "There is truly something for everyone at these properties, with new opportunities for fun or relaxation every day, and they are a fantastic way to experience the peaceful coastal Maryland lifestyle."

Sun RV Resort locations across the country provide elevated RV, cabin, and tent camping sites with resort-style amenities at great destinations. Sun RV Resorts' mission is instilled in the idea of living your best life through exceptional and transformative outdoor experiences. Guests can choose their own adventure with curated outdoor experiences that best suit their interests, such as kayak rentals at Frontier Town or exploring the boardwalk at Fort Whaley.

"Sun RV Resorts has a long-standing history with Blue Water," said Nick DiBella, SVP of Sun RV Resorts. "We've been partners since 2013 and are excited to continue working together on two more incredible resorts. They are an exceptional operator and we trust them to deliver the same quality guest experience at two of our most popular family destinations – Fort Whaley and Frontier Town. We share in the same values of delivering the highest quality outdoor hospitality experience and it will shine through this transition."

Blue Water has a legacy of elevating campgrounds by introducing cutting-edge hospitality management and adding amenities while preserving their history. In addition to Frontier Town and Fort Whaley, the firm recently assumed control of another Delmarva campground: Cherrystone Family Camping Resort. Located in Cape Charles, Va., Cherrystone boasts over 300 waterfront acres along the Chesapeake Bay and offers more than 690 campsites, including RV sites, seasonal camping, and glamping accommodations.

"Cherrystone has been part of the family camping landscape for more than half a century, and we're honored to carry on its legacy," Burbage said. "It's another perfect fit for our unique guest experience-focused service culture."
