I am posting the below thoughts and concerns for a property owner who lives on Ocean Ave near the site of the proposed RV parking site. I am sure that many others have the same concerns as her, as I do also.
 
"I am writing to express my strong concerns over the proposed Residential RV Parking on the beach in Wildwood. I am not sure what would have prompted our city to consider such a notion but I have numerous concerns about the impact of this on our community. Most of my concerns center around the lifestyle issues of RV Campers, with grills, pets, drinking, etc. part of their “community”
 
A few of the issues that I am concerned about are:
•      The sound impact of having RV generators and engines running - presently we can hear the ocean waves from our property - a much more pleasant sound than motors and generators.
•      The environmental impact of the fumes from said generators and engines running constantly. And depending on the wind - a breeze we generally appreciate - could carry these fumes quite a distance through our town and affect everyone’s enjoyment of our beautiful beach and boardwalk.
•      The environmental impact of vehicles leaking oil and other engine fluids and, possibly septic fluids, into the sand of our beautiful beach.
•      The impact on the view of our beautiful beach. The trees were removed from the Hand/Ocean parking lot because some of the residents were concerned that their view of the ocean was impeded by them. I am sure these residents (as well as my family) would rather look at trees instead of RVs, Antenna, and other assorted rooftop paraphernalia.
•      Where will these “residents” dump their trash? Or their waste water? Or their cigarettes?
•      Will these “residents” be allowed to have alcohol? Tax paying residents of the Wildwoods are currently prohibited from having alcohol on the beach or boardwalk.
•      Will these “residents” be allowed to have domestic pets? Tax paying residents f the Wildwoods are currently prohibited from bringing their domestic pets on the beach or boardwalk.
•      Will these “residents” be allowed to have campfires or grills? Another thing that taxpayers in the Wildwoods are prohibited from using the beach for.
•      Additionally there are “wild card” issues of safety, security, and liability that defy prediction until they come to pass but could not help but cause a detrimental effect on our beautiful beach and boardwalk community.
In short, I am deeply concerned that our beautiful beach and boardwalk will degenerate into a campground the likes of nearby Fort Apache. In these economic times, I realize that government must embrace all options to remain solvent - but this would be a mistake. Wildwood has revamped her image in recent years and this campground would be several steps in the wrong direction. If an RV park is indeed the best solution, perhaps another location that be less impact on our beautiful beach would be smarter - for example, the old dump around Susquehanna. Another option to raise needed funds could be to charge for the beach access.

Even though I'm an outsider (visitor)  this whole talk about charging for beach access is worrying me.  
I think for the last 3-4 day trip we paid enough in extra taxes the city levys for the room to almost pay for a whole extra night.

The E. Cresse Ave entrance also borders Wildwood Crest. I wonder if Wildwood is going to take into consideration what it's Crest neighbors think about sharing that beach entrance and using it for RVs?    George

How smart is this idea after they decided to put in the new Crest ramp that connects to the boardwalk at that spot?   George

I'm hoping if it is taking into consideration the crest  says no. I don't need too look at those and don't want too and my mother will also not want to look at That and my stepfather as well.

good I hope ocean towers fights him again also so should aqua beach and adventurer they are pretty close to there too. When I stayed at aqua beach in 2008 we were able to walk right to the boardwalk in 2 minutes

Last Thursday (according to www.nbc40.net) the number of RVs allowed on the beach was around 80.   George
