Starting a Campsite Business
Tap into the power of the great outdoors by buying land for camping and creating a campsite business. Campgrounds have low overhead and fewer upfront costs than other businesses. Costs drop even further if you’re buying an existing camp location or developing rustic campsites on land.
Is Owning a Campsite a Good Investment?
Is owning a campground profitable? Yes, owning a campground can be profitable, but it depends on several factors. Research shows campgrounds typically create a 10-30% return on investment. Your particular profits depend on seasonality, amenities offered, marketing strategy, financial management, and your work ethic.
Operating a Successful Campground
A high-quality campground has easy to access RV and tent sites, landscaping, shade trees, a swimming pool, and established brand reputation. Sites to accommodate RVs with full hookups are in high demand. Campground owners can earn $50,000-$100,000 in site rental income alone depending on size and amenities offered. Additional revenue streams like camp stores and recreation activities will further boost profits.
