how big a pad ?

[Wallace Craig]

Dorn, I personally dont care if you have a concrete pad or not; good level small gravel works well. Unless you pour 6" concrete, you will wind up with a crumbled mess. A good tractor with a blade to level would be a better investment. Small pad to sit apicnc table on would be good. Also, if people put down levelers, that really is a lot of force on any concrete.

Dorn,
Rather than putting down a pad costing you $$$ each, running the length from
entrance road to exit road (pull through), why not just put down a patio
pad? Are you expecting people to stay long term (weeks/months/seasonal), or
short term? Assuming the gravel driveways are reasonably level and in good
repair, I
would rather see you spend the $$$ necessary to make sure each
spot has 30/50 amp service (properly sized and positioned), water, and
sewer.
