In August 2017, Camp Verde Community Development Director Carmen Howard and her husband David purchased 15 acres of land, adjacent to the Yavapai Apache Agricultural Ranch, on Cloverleaf Ranch Road.
Their plans for part of the land, the Howards stated in a letter to the town, is for a community of tiny houses on wheels, vintage recreational vehicles and agritourism events.
Wednesday, the Camp Verde Town Council could approve an agritourism use permit to allow the Howards to develop on their land a small RV Park with a gathering place and fire pit, and a common farming or community garden area.
Said Carmen Howard, this plan for agritourism in residential neighborhood means that people can bring their small mobile residences and park them on lots “about 2250 square feet, or approximately 30 feet x 75 feet” in a contained community with a central area to grow their own produce
