How to Buy a Campground in Ohio
A step-by-step guide for campground acquisitions.
- Finance and budget the acquisition. Lenders underwrite campgrounds as operating businesses, so expect lower LTVs and a larger down payment. Consider seller financing. Work with commercial brokers in Ohio who know outdoor-hospitality deals.
- Choose your location model. Decide between a destination campground near lakes or mountains and a transient park serving highway travelers. Gauge seasonal vs. year-round demand using local market insights.
- Inspect site infrastructure and utilities. Verify water, electric, and sewer capacity across tent sites, RV hookups, and cabins. Failing utilities and bathhouses are the classic deal-breaker.
- Underwrite ROI and value. Analyze 12–24 months of actuals, separate site revenue from store and rental income to find true NOI, and benchmark against recently sold Ohio commercial comps.
- Clear due diligence and zoning. Confirm operating and sanitation permits, verify zoning allows continued use, and flag grandfathered status or seasonal-use limits that cap expansion.
- Close the deal. Finalize financing, sign the purchase agreement, complete title and escrow, and transfer permits and licenses before taking over operations.
