Kampgrounds of America has reported more than 50 potential campground owners attended its Spring Buyer’s Workshop Weekend, held Saturday April 10, and Sunday, April 11, at the San Antonio/Alamo KOA Holiday in San Antonio, Texas.
“There has never been a better time to invest in the camping industry,” said KOA Senior Director of Franchise Development Larry Brownfield. “There is certainly a lot of interest right now in purchasing a campground and becoming part of the Kampgrounds of America system.”
KOA said that for many of the attendees, the Buyer’s Workshops are the first introduction into potential campground ownership. The two-day event covered key topics important to those considering the purchase or development of a campground, from outdoor hospitality trends and insights to the details of campground management.
The workshop also included in-depth information on the purchasing process, an overview of the lending process and best practices for buy–sell agreements. Attendees also got a behind-the-scenes tour of the San Antonio/Alamo KOA Holiday for a close-up look at what it’s like to own and operate a campground.
The KOA Fall Buyer’s Workshop is slated for October 23 & 24 at the Nashville KOA Resort in Nashville, Tenn. For more details, contact Deedee Flanagan at 800-548-7239 or dflanagan@koa.net.
