Most of the problems were covered above. A campground owner I know bought an old campground with hopes of expanding. Using the sewage tanks that were already in for sewer hook-up was easy. When he wanted to add a tank ... Permits, Department of Environmental Protection, etc, all get in the way.
Imagine the business plan you would have to present to the bank when going in for a loan to open a new campground. You need to provide enough water to service 100-200+ units. Enough electric capacity to supply 50 amps to each unit. Enough sewage capacity for all of them to dump at once on Sunday morning. And then there are the bath houses, swimming pool(s), mini-golf, camp store and golf carts to rent. Oh yea, employees and insurance.
