South Elevation — Highway 111 Facade

What drivers see from Highway 111. A clean, handsome back wall with stone wainscoting, board-and-batten siding, prominent signage, and a stone chimney landmark. No entrance doors — the building intentionally "turns its back" to the road while remaining visually attractive.

Orientation Note

Main entrance faces NORTH toward campground interior. Highway 111 sees the back facade with signage. Mom's Patio overlooks the playground to the north. The building is designed so that campground guests experience the grand timber-framed entrance and welcoming covered porch, while highway travelers see an attractive, clean facade with prominent "Elder Campground" signage and a landmark stone chimney. The building opens to the campground, not the road.
