In Napa, a proposal for a luxury campground spanning 12.5 acres has sparked significant opposition from local residents. The project, which includes high-end camping facilities and fire pits, is criticized for its potential environmental impact, notably flood risks and fire hazards. With over 1,000 signatures collected against it and significant fundraising efforts aimed at halting the project, residents argue it is inappropriate for the location, citing safety issues on nearby Silverado Trail known for accidents. With widespread rejection from the community, local sentiment against the resort is clear and vocal.
The property floods periodically anytime we have a really rainy season," she said. "It floods and that means that the mobile units that they have, have to be moved out and it's a two-lane major highway.
I don't understand how they can propose fire pits in an area like that," Buffington said. "The mitigation that they are proposing for the 100 fire pits is that everybody will have a fire extinguisher.
One of the busiest and most dangerous roads here in Napa County," Napa resident Kelly Carlson said.
It's the wrong project in the wrong location," Napa resident Bill Griffiths said.
