Just like anything Location, Location, Location,......... and of course conditions, regulations, etc....... Not too many campgrounds are like the one we go to at Myrtle Beach 300 acres almost a mile of ocean front (probably one of the largest campgrounds in the country). The couple that started it from scratch in the 1970s recently passed away & their 5 daughters are the heirs. I have heard that they take in over 3 million dollars a month (at least in the summer) & I believe it. but they also have a lot of overhead costs. But campgrounds this size are extremely rare. It is hard to tell what the land alone is worth & taxes...... Today it would be cost prohibitive to start one there.
