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

At one time I was a fanatical fan of short track auto racing. Then I got the opportunity to run a couple local race tracks. Ended up doing that for three years.
Made very little money over the long run. Kind of disappointing taking in $35-45,000 per weekend, and having less than $1,000 after expenses - sometimes running negative.
And almost all my time seemed to be spent on petty complaints. There were a lot of great moments (such as taking $129,812 in cash into the bank on Monday morning, and they would not take the deposit until an armored car arrived), and a constant grind of negativity.
I don't know how much your desire to own a campground is impacted by your enjoyment of camping / RVing, however if that is a primary focus - a word of caution.
The very best way to ruin your enjoyment of a hobby or activity - is to get involved in it professionally.
If running a campground is a professional goal - great. If it is a hobby / recreational goal - be wary.
