The western themed buildings and 3 stall horsebarn are perfect
for those who love the flavor of the old west.
Dont let this flavor fool you into thinking this +/- 6.6 acre
park doesnt have all the modern conveniences. All of the +/-
37 RV sites in this park are full hook-up. Beautiful up to date
main building with store, bathhouse, laundry and
owners
1-bedroom/1-bath apartment will make even the fussiest
city-slicker happy. Kids love the swimming pool and western
themed mini-golf. City water and sewer opens up lots of
possibilities for the approx. 3 acres waiting to be
developed into 15 to 20 more full hook-up pull through sites.
Experienced campground owners bought this park 2 years ago
because of all the potential they saw here. They fixed up the
park - but now want to sell to move north to be closer to their
church and family. (PS - This might be a good KOA conversion.)
2007 gross income $72,749.

Live in a little mountain tourist town next to the most visited
National Park in the southeast!
Visitors love to buy expensive vacation homes in this beautiful
mountain area and this campground COMES with a 3-bedroom/2-bath
home (approx. 1,350 sq. ft.). This small park with 22 sites and
city water/sewer is easy for a couple to operate. No store; the
full hook-up sites produced the $79,789 gross income
in 2007. The +/- 1 acre park is located right on the main
street through town with pretty landscaped sidewalks directly in
front of the park. Campers enjoy easy walks to visit all the
local shops and festivals. LOTS to do here in the gorgeous
mountains for tourists and outdoor enthusiasts. If you are
looking for a neat, clean little business that provides a home
in a beautiful place to live and enjoy as you slow down for
retirement this may be it! 2007 gross income was $79,789 -
almost $20,000 more than they expected, which is enough to cover operating expenses and
mortgage payments on the business and the home and
provides small cash flow.

Live in Natures Paradise!
Beautiful property in the southeast with approx. 85 wooded
acres, small pond stocked with bass, catfish, and blue gill, and
a stream with 2 beautiful waterfalls. This quiet retreat has
abundant wildlife including deer, wild turkeys, raccoons and a
wonderful assortment of birds as well as beautiful plants and
flowers. With its close location to a national and state park
and access to hiking, horseback riding, ATV trails, canoeing,
white water rafting and fishing, this is paradise for nature
lovers. Sound like a dream come true? This couple thought so
too until the husbands unexpected death (after less than 2
years of ownership) cut their dream short. They purchased this
fix-up project because of the beautiful property and all the
potential they saw. They began making improvements but LOTS
still needs to be done to fix up the existing older 36 campsites
and 3 older singlewide rentals. The 1,800 sq. ft. owners home,
heated swimming pool and completely remodeled bathhouse is the
base from which you will step in and continue the work that they
started. There is little to no business yet as there hasnt
been time for the improvements to pay off. $150,000
downpayment and take over payments.

Price:
Camping the Old Fashioned Way! Lots of trees, 2 streams running through this +/- 76 site
campground. Camping as it used to be rather than in a sterile
RV resort full of concrete and big buses. Almost half of the
sites are on the 2 small mountain creeks and this park just
happens to be on the south edge of a national park. Do people
still want old fashioned camping? You bet!! This park
grossed approx $260,000 last year. No more room to add
sites, but we have lots of suggestions on how to improve the
existing ones to keep business growing. By the way, there
are 2
beautiful double-wide mobile homes.

Time for a change. This campground is run by a very nice elderly couple who operate the
park manually like they did 20 years ago. Despite their age and
older management style, the park is still grossing about
$173,000. So, it must be in a good location and campers
come despite the older image. This is a park with LOTS of acres
(+/- 66 acres) and LOTS of sites (+/- 325 sites – most full hook
up), and LOTS of opportunity to modernize and improve. There is
a large main building with store and gameroom, a separate
bathhouse with laundry, 2 pavilions, 1 single-wide mobile home
rental, owners 2-bedroom/1-bath home, and a swimming lake with
beach (perfect for lake toys). All the basics you need are
here. Now you need to apply everything you’ve learned and
modernize and build on the $173,000 base of business already
there.

Green rolling hills and pretty as a picture 14-acre lake
is the setting for this +/- 42 acre campground. Approximately
175 campsites offer a variety that is sure to please all types
of campers. There are 4 things I really like about this park.
1) The husband is 79 years old and the wife says it is time to
sell. How aggressive in marketing and public relations do you
think they have been the last several years? 2) The park has a
sewer plant that should allow expansion unlike many other parks
that are limited in sewer expansion capacity. 3) Two pavilions
offer excellent company picnic profit opportunity! 4)
Large heated maintenance building for his and her projects,
hobbies and toys (and of course equipment for the park).
2007 Gross Income +/- $180,000. (PS - this might be a good
park for a KOA or Yogi Bear conversion.)

expansion, barn with horse stalls, and nice recreation club
building. 3-bedroom/2-bath mobile home. Now for some of the
good stuff. City water and sewer is available. The owners do
not live at the campground but have to rely on help and managers

have concentrated on his health, not the campground. That
offers the buyer opportunity to increase business. 2007

No worries with high gas prices! This park is only 1 hour (or less) from 3 major
metropolitan centers. Surveys indicate that even as gas prices
climb campers will still take out their big RVs but
they will camp closer to home. Well, this park with +/- 44

cushion against the effect of gas prices, approx. 1/3 of the

Recession Resistant RV Park.
Why? The government has plans to spend $1.5 billion from 2006
to 2013. They will increase active duty soldiers by 4,647,
create 1,893 new civilian jobs and another 1,000 to 3,000 jobs
with contractors at the key military command complex located
near this RV Park. The extra +/- 8 undeveloped acres at this RV
Park offer a buyer the opportunity to add either RV sites or
mobile home sites to capture and profit from the high, short
term housing demand. Now that you are more comfortable with the
future of this park, you will be pleased to know it is also

Sales Price: $2,400,000:
5-Star Location with
high income families nearby and high land values push this sales
price. I have done consulting for and have been to many
of the other parks in the area. Camping rates in this area are
sky high because of the high income area. Plus, the park is
being operated by a semi-absentee owner. He and his wife drive
to the park in the morning and leave in the evening to go home.
He has not tried to increase business because they thought the
park had been sold to a land developer who was going to replace
the campground with homes. He even evicted all the seasonal
campers 2 years ago because of the pending sale. The deal fell
through in the winter so the owner opened back up the next April
and started over again. It is highly likely that a developer
could buy this property and build houses but it would be a shame
because this park is in a 5-star location and has tremendous
upside in our opinion. Approx. 180 sites on 59 acres means
LOTS of room for expansion. Sewer plant and new 5-year permit
sets the stage for more sewer sites and growth. 2 club
buildings, swimming pool, and all the basic amenities are here
producing gross income of +/- $520,000. Perfect set up
for a future buyer. Great location for either a KOA or Yogi
Bear conversion.) |
