Park pet peeves, Park owner’s turn

I enjoyed dealing with the public, selling motorsports. Obviously, handling complaints, not as enjoyable as a happy customer! As mentioned, a reset is useful, moving from one customer to another.

I view campgrounds similarly to owning a little backwoods bar/restaurant/resort. Of which the ownership turnover is far greater than most industries and businesses.
If small time, like most campgrounds/RV parks are, it's a family business and you're literally a jack of all trades all day every day.
Seemed like a good idea because you love camping (or drinking...lol) until you realize the enjoyment is not the same when you're on the other side of the bar (or checkin desk or toilet scrubber) all day and half the night, but mostly just during the times of year when you'd rather be on vacation like everyone else.
Business plan and expenses, most small business folks like this aren't exactly accountants and business majors, so the additional expenses, revenue, taxes, and all the other financial duties and concerns don't just "work themselves out."
Maint and upkeep and profitability, The last owners had huge smiles on their faces and told you how awesome of a venture it was, but were moving on to "better opportunities" after only 3 years of ownership.
Bu the smile was because it was the second best day in 3 years, only slightly behind the day they signed the note on the place form the last smiley owners.

This is how I imagine campground ownership. Before even getting into dealing with Joe public 100x a day EVERY DAY!
