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

I'm not a campground owner nor am I dreaming of owning one, but I do use them quite often. In my very humble opinion be sure to look for one that has a great location relative to national parks, busy tourist areas, interstate exits where you might catch snowbirds going to/from their destinations and/or have other tourism connections.
Campgrounds found in out of the way places are very likely to fail or already have. If you find one in a somewhat out of the way area develop something that brings people in. A campground with live music, family related or specific like bluegrass, might create a buzz amongst like-minded campers. Or maybe you develop a variety of events that attract an already established following. Obviously music can be one, but something like wood carving, photography, church groups, young people events, on a route used by and for RV rally groups. Basically develop a plan to bring people to you if you're not already in a high demand area.
That's my 2 cents.
