Joswiaks still committed to community post-property sale in Hillsdale
HILLSDALE — Ken and Stacy Joswiak are moving Southern Michigan RV to their campground in Allen after Hillsdale College purchased the dealership's property at 99 Carleton Road. The couple plans to consolidate with Southern Michigan Marble Springs Campground along US-12. According to Ken, the location will sell new and used campers, used cars and trucks, and offer RV and auto service, parts and accessories. “We love Hillsdale,” Ken told The Daily News. “We've made great friends in the past 10 years.” Stacy’s interest in camping encouraged the couple to enter the industry. Near the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, she wanted a tent so she could spend time outdoors reading with her dogs. Ken instead convinced her to get a small camper. While waiting for the buildout of their Gulf Stream Vintage Cruiser, the couple became a dealer for Gulf Stream. The Joswiaks have been involved with the Hillsdale Business Association, the Greater Hillsdale Humane Society, the Hillsdale American Legion, Jonesville Rotary and the Hillsdale Kiwanis.
