When Wilderness Presidential Resort opened its doors four decades ago in Spotsylvania County, the only way to join was purchasing a lot for a camper or RV.
Kicking off its 41st season this spring, the 621-acre resort is diversifying its offerings at a time when the pandemic has pushed more people to find outdoor recreation. The resort wants to accommodate them, and has started a shift to attract and entertain visitors along with property owners.
To that end, the owners have added amenities and activities designed to bring in more day-users.
Eric Sylvester, the resortâs director of operations, said a big focus recently has been creating a range of activities and amenities to draw new visitors, especially those who live locally.
