You are curious, but at the same time little concerned. In any case, you do not know anything about managing campgrounds. How can you be sure that the campground for sale that you set your eye on is not an impending money pit? In a couple of years you may put up an advertisement for re-sale just because you could not make a profit? 
 
The truth is, campgrounds offer a marvelous business opening. But in order to get full benefit of that you must be ready to dedicate lot of time and attention to your venture. To put it differently you can not purchase a campground and then wait for someone else to take charge without your contribution. Campground for sale are the sort of investment requiring a substantial amount of time and energy on your part. 
 
In case you want to be in marketplace for campgrounds for sale, you should first check the sites put up by KOA. KOA is leader in camp location sale and has been in this business for more than forty years. KOA franchises propose a wide range of RV parks as also campgrounds for sale. To put it differently, there may be a probability of your finding a KOA location suiting your budget as also your imagination of a campground. KOA also proposes a number of workshops for buyers around the country assisting you to start owning your first camping location. 
 
In case you want to purchase a KOA camping license you will require atleast $200,000 cash. These camp locations can go up to a few million dollars, as per the size and location of the campground. You must have sufficient money for down payment, which comes to twenty to thirty percent of the purchase cost. Apart from this you need money to pay franchise transfer fee, as also closing costs of the sale. Unfortunately, KOA does not offer financing; you will have to approach a bank for the loan. 
 
The plus point is KOA does not ask for prior campground experience for a probable campground owner. In fact, they do not even ask for prior business tenure experience. But to be flourishing agent, you will have to have an excellent reputation, sufficient financial support, and a strong obligation to become the finest campsite owner. 
 
To finish, what is your income as a franchisee depends on a few things, like campsite location, size, and operational expenditure and last but not least your business shrewdness.
