Have you ever thought of getting into the camping industry? As an investor, one of the most important things to figure out is how to get a good return on your investments. Buying a campground franchise is one way to do that. With a franchise, you’ll get a consistent flow of cash while being involved in the exciting recreational industry. If you check out the statistics, you’ll find out that in the United States alone, approximately 12,000 businesses are linked to camping and RVs. These businesses generate no less than $37.5 billion per year. From these numbers, it is apparent that getting a piece of this industry is a good idea. Here are some reasons to consider buying a campground franchise. Big Business NetworksBuying a campground franchise allows you to benefit from an extensive network of businesses. For instance, a lot of campground franchises have numerous sites all over the United States. As a result, anyone who has visited any of their campgrounds before and had a good time will readily come to your own place as well. The moment you open your business, you will have customers waiting for you already. This makes the job of marketing quite easy. Higher Success RatesBuying a franchise will enable you to enjoy a higher rate of success compared to someone who establishes their own independent business from scratch. The only thing you have to do when you get a campground franchise is to provide excellent service. The market is already there, as about six out of 10 U.S. households have had someone who has gone camping. Additionally, you can leverage a popular brand — which means customers will already trust that you provide excellent services. If you deliver high-quality services to your customers, nothing will stop you from succeeding. Easier Funding AcquisitionEstablishing your own campground requires substantial resources. If you have tried it before, then this is not news to you. Securing enough capital can be an enormous challenge. Fortunately, when you are buying a campground franchise, getting money from lenders will not be an arduous task. Lenders become a lot more inclined to deal with you because of your association with a big brand. When you establish yourself as an independent party, it’s difficult to trust that you will make enough profits to return the money you would have borrowed. Apart from lenders trusting your affiliation with a big brand, the franchise owner can also help you secure capital. That, however, depends on your agreement, therefore it is not always guaranteed. There’s no doubt that starting a campground is profitable. However, it is a bit difficult to go at it on your own. Buying a franchise is like using a tried-and-tested formula, which means there is a greater chance of success. To learn more about obtaining your own campground franchise, contact us today. |

The Jellystone Park brand has made a huge difference in our business. If we had 50 more sites and more cabins, they’d be filled every weekend.

The reason we really like Jellystone Parks is because of the support behind us. With other parks in the system, we have 75+ sources of question-and-answer type people to go to. The suppo… Read more
