Cabins and Camping! National and State
Forests with LOTS of outdoor activities draw tourists and campers to
this area. Miles of trails in the forests, rivers for canoeing and
kayaking, and wildlife viewing areas all make this a perfect area
for a campground with cabin rentals. In fact, the cabin rentals
are so popular and profitable that they brought in approximately 1/2
of the 2008 total gross income of $131,157. Hunters love the
convenience of walking directly from the campground into the
National Forest. The combination cabin and campground business
includes +/- 23 acres, campsites, cabins, main building with
bathhouse AND a traditional 3 bedroom home with 2-car garage.

SOLD.
Time for
a change. I stopped by
this park on April 19 while on a motorcycle business trip. I was
shocked at how much they have aged and how poor their health
appeared. Several years ago they had a healthy campground.
Unfortunately, as they have aged and their health has declined, so
has the health of the campground. Where can you buy 325 sites (of
which 245 are full hook up) for $1,969 per site? You can't. That's
why this is going to be a good project for somebody. By the way,
don't try to make an offer. I won't allow it. The only reason that
I allowed these owners to reduce the price to $640,000 is
because it's time for them to retire and take care of each other.
Plus, with $150,000 down, they are offering all seller financing
to a qualified buyer. This park doesn't give a great first
impression. It needs to be freshened up. A buyer needs to start
with a major clean up and then modernize the business. For example,
these owners don’t have a website, email, or computer reservations
system. Despite this, even with business declining, the park is
grossing +/- $142,000. A franchise and/or inflatable water toys for
the pond would really help jump start this business.
$640,000 Sales Price with $150,000
downpayment.

SOLD.
In this
troubled economy - this park does not have a problem.
With a base of seasonal campers,
business has been solid and consistent at about
$175,000 gross over the past several years. Would you
like a nice 3 bedroom, 2 bath owner's home and winters off?
How about a recently upgraded and approved sewer plant with capacity
for hooking up more sites? This +/- 175 site campground on 40+
acres has all of this, plus 2 lakes, heated maintenance building,
bathhouse, cafe and game room, pavilions and more. Just waiting for
new, excited buyers to take over from long time owners who are ready
to retire. Hot dog! Peaceful location, yet not far from
busy interstate. (A KOA franchise could help take this park to
the next level -- and KOA has already pre-approved the location.)
$700,000 Sales price with $200,000 downpayment.
# 264 SOLD.
LOTS of reasons why this is a PEACH
of a deal!
2008 Gross income of +/- 221,000 (means business is up in spite
of high gas prices and poor economy). Warm southeast location
(means no more winter snow to shovel). +/- 34 acres and +/- 85
sites (means plenty of room to grow on the 17 undeveloped acres
included). 2 fishing ponds and swimming pool (means something
refreshing for everyone to do). Nice Recreation Building with air
conditioning/heat pump (means camping clubs can be comfortable any
time of year). Horse barns and open pastures (means you can indulge
in your love for horses or expand the park and put in more
campsites). City sewer available to the property (means you could
add more full hook-up sites or full facility cabins). And BEST
of ALL, Seller financing is available to qualified buyers (means no
bank fees, red-tape or delays).
$995,000 Sales price with $250,000 downpayment.

276 SOLD.
Over 60 acres of
pretty wooded rolling hills located approx. 1 mile from the exit off
a major interstate makes a perfect setting for this campground.
There are 69 sites (with 1 rental cabin) - and plenty of room for
more. Approx. 2/3rd of the sites are full hook-up (sewer system
already approved for 120 sites). The +/- 50 convenient pull
through sites are great for the big rigs traveling on this popular
interstate. A major college located in a nearby town brings in
campers attending the BIG games - and the park offers a special
football package to campers. The picturesque swimming and
fishing lake and the extra acreage with hiking trails provides
plenty of opportunity for campers to get out and enjoy the scenic
countryside. The autumn leaves are gorgeous in the fall!
You get to live in this pretty rural area and the new kitchen
cabinets, flooring and other remodeling makes the owners one-bedroom
apartment extra attractive and comfortable. 2007 gross income
was $97,349 and is growing with 2008 income estimated at $110,000.
The park is officially closed for the winter - but several monthly
campers bring in steady income. The owners plan to go away for
about 1 month to enjoy warmer weather. You could too!
Sales Price $525,000 with $175,000 downpayment. Some seller
financing available to qualified buyer.
# 275 SOLD
Lots of things we like
about park including 50+ acres offering room for expansion, nice
fishing pond,
+/- 100 sites including 11 cabins, main building with store,
bathhouse, and laundry, pavilion, gameroom, mini-golf and 3 bedroom
owner home. All in pretty, wooded setting, near major interstate
but still in the rural heartland. Best of all, semi absentee
owner! The time is right for an on site owner/operator to take
over. It make sense that an owner will run their own
campground differently (and better) than an employee. 2008 Gross
Income +/- $160,000.
$175,000 Downpayment,

well as beautiful plants and flowers. With its close location
