A beautiful location doesn’t guarantee profit. Learn why campground financials matter far more than scenery when evaluating a park.
Posted: January 21, 2026
Location matters — but campground financials matter more.
A park on a beautiful river can lose money, while an overnight park on a highway can be a cash machine.
Here’s what really determines campground value:
- Revenue per site
- Seasonal vs transient mix
- Average daily rate
- Expense ratio
- Utility costs
- Adjusted NOI
- Owner add-backs
A campground is a business first, property second. If the financials aren’t strong, the view won’t pay the bills.
