Which Type of Campground Is Right for You?
Not all campgrounds operate the same. Learn the differences between seasonal, overnight, destination, and rustic parks so you choose the right one.
Posted: February 4, 2026
There are many types of campgrounds — and each one fits a different buyer.
The major categories include:
Overnight/Transit Parks
Great for first-time buyers wanting simple operations.
Seasonal Parks
Predictable revenue, low turnover, and loyal guests.
Destination/Lakefront Parks
Higher rates — and higher workload.
Rustic/Basic Parks
Perfect starter parks with low overhead.
Mixed-Use Resorts
Campground + motel + marina + cabins (best for experienced buyers).
Choosing the wrong type of park is one of the fastest ways to burn out — or fail.
