Campground Store Wholesaler?
We are thinking about opening a small camp store at our campground. Was wondering if anyone knew of a good wholesaler?

What items for the camp store?
Small volume -
You may simply want to purchase basic items for re-sale at the nearest Costco or WalMart.
RV items - you may want to do the same for basic RV items like sewer hoses, electrical adapters etc. (WalMart RV section).
Your markup represents the convenience (time & travel) of saving the buyer a trip "somewhere" to do the same thing.
Fishing & Camping supplies - contact "Stansport" (Google it), and contact their cooperate offices to discuss retailing their products (IIRC - located in Vernon, CA. In the past, they had no problem with small wholesale orders to qualified retailers).
Although your sales volume may not make this worthwhile, but -
you could check to see if your RV related items qualifies as a retailer via the "Coast Connection Distribution System" (distribution centers in CA, OR, UT, AZ, TX, CO, IN, WI, PA, NY, GA, FL, & AK.)
Corporate Offices are in Morgan Hill CA (800-528-7973)
You can see/peruse the *retail* Coast Catalog in many RV stores - size of a big city phone book!
(of course, you will *NOT* see the "Confidential Dealer Price Book for RV and Marine Parts and Accessories")..:W
