Every campground operates differently, but here’s the typical cost structure:
Average expense ratio:
25% to 45% of gross revenue
High-cost parks:
- Cabins
- Onsite restaurants
- Big utilities
- High payroll
- Motels
- Glamping
Low-cost parks:
- Seasonal parks
- RV-only parks
- Parks without amenities
Buyers MUST understand:
You can’t compare two campgrounds apples to apples — operating structures vary dramatically.
