I am looking to buy a campground that has closed. Having a hard time finding them. Any suggestions?

On any closed or open campground being considered, make sure to visit the local Zoning and Building department to see if the campground will still meet current codes after a change of ownership. What out for Grandfather Rights, the campground may currently be operating under, that may disappear with a sale.
I have watched several campground prospective dreams go up in smoke when they find out all renovations have to be done to current codes. Like finding out that sewer and electrical work has to be done by, or at least signed off by licensed professionals.
Just do your home work and make the best decision for yourself that you can.
Good advice. Also check on current Septic or Sewer system requirements. Some local jurisdictions now have prohibitions against RV hook-ups being connected to their sewer systems. They don't like some of the chemicals that are used in holding tanks.
