About Campground Investor
America's specialist marketplace for campgrounds, RV parks, and outdoor hospitality properties for sale.
Our Story
Campground Investor was founded with a single conviction: the outdoor hospitality industry deserved a marketplace built specifically for it. Generic commercial real estate platforms list campgrounds alongside gas stations and strip malls, with no understanding of occupancy rates, NOI methodology, seasonal revenue patterns, or the lifestyle factors that drive campground investment decisions.
Our founders spent over a decade watching campground sellers struggle to reach qualified buyers and watching buyers waste months evaluating properties with incomplete financial data on platforms that didn't understand what to ask for. The inefficiency was costing both sides real money.
We built Campground Investor to be the platform that campground industry professionals actually use - one that speaks the language of outdoor hospitality, presents the financial data that buyers need to make decisions, and vets both sides of every transaction to ensure serious parties connect with serious parties.
"Connecting the right campground buyers with motivated sellers through transparent financial data and genuine outdoor hospitality market expertise."
Our Team
James Whitfield
James spent 15 years in outdoor hospitality before founding Campground Investor, including a decade as a regional manager for KOA overseeing 22 franchise properties across the Southeast. He saw firsthand how campground owners struggled to find qualified buyers and how buyers were underserved by generic real estate platforms that didn't understand the outdoor hospitality business model. He founded Campground Investor to fix both problems.
Sarah Chen
Sarah brings 12 years of commercial real estate brokerage experience with a specialization in hospitality and recreation properties. She has facilitated over $80 million in campground and RV park transactions and is a recognized authority on campground valuation methodology. She leads our property vetting process and works directly with sellers to position their listings for maximum qualified buyer interest.
Marcus Rodriguez
Marcus has guided over 200 first-time and experienced campground buyers through the acquisition process since joining Campground Investor. His background in small business consulting and his personal experience buying and operating a 45-site campground in Colorado give him a unique perspective on what buyers need to know - and what they're often not told - before they close on a campground.
Our Approach - What Makes Us Different
Campground-First Expertise
We only list campgrounds, RV parks, and outdoor hospitality properties. Our team understands seasonal revenue modeling, occupancy rate benchmarks, site mix optimization, and the operational nuances that generic platforms miss entirely.
Verified Financial Data
Every listing includes standardized financial data - gross revenue, NOI, cap rate, and price per site - allowing buyers to make consistent apples-to-apples comparisons across properties. We verify figures against tax returns and P&Ls before publishing.
Buyer Qualification
We don't connect sellers with unqualified window-shoppers. Every buyer inquiry is reviewed before the seller receives it. Buyers with serious intent get priority access; sellers are protected from having their financial data shared with non-serious parties.
Confidential Marketing
Many of our sellers need to keep the sale quiet - staff retention, customer loyalty, and competitor awareness are real concerns. We offer NDA-protected off-market listings and discretionary buyer outreach for owners who need confidentiality.
