- amandasgrammaExplorerKeep an eye out for the Lemon Tree RV park in yuma. It was basically closed down this winter. Seems there's a sewer problem and the owner doesn't have the $$ to fix it. Good location and TREES!!!!!! I'd love to have stayed there!!!! Mind you....I was told the above......not guaranteeing that they'll be selling..
- Probably best to speak with a commercial real estate broker represented by a national company.
- Mr_BeeboExplorerSome folks are going to do what they want to do and just want others to validate their desire (see the countless "Can I tow this" threads).
Others are truly interested in learning about a venture. As a business owner, I will offer some more unsolicited advice: If posters are concerned that negativity around the topic of buying a campground will run off a potential entrepreneur before they even get their boots on, then it is best and cheaper for them to run now than later. Give the OP some credit that maybe they can read and decipher the responses and continue to make decisions for themselves.
Free advice is often seen as worthless before the fact, but can be priceless after the fact, when you are paying for all of your lessons. - pitchExplorer IIWhy is no one giving the OP any credit for having a brain.
I really don't think that there is a soul on the face of the earth that believes that he can walk into any defunct facility, be it RV park, bar, restaurant, or skating rink, light up the sign and start making money!
I can see many advantages to buying a closed park. Location is the one thing that cannot be changed,but as long as you have that go for it.
If you have a workable footprint things are good. It is much easier and cheaper to follow existing paths for utilities than have to re-engineer and start from scratch. Sites are already in place,much cheaper to regrade than to dig from nothing.
So for the OP: Good Luck I hope you find what you are looking for and have great success!
