Description
If you have ever considered buying a campground, don't miss this episode! Longtime part-time RVers Mark and Karla Lemoine made their dream come true in 2016 when they purchased a KOA campground. Mark shares why and how he left a lucrative government job to start their campground career. Jim dives deep into the decision process, and sizeable investment. Mark shares tips for coping with the stress of daily operations, and the long term goals. We hear about how building the right team helps, and that includes workampers.
Thinking about building a campground versus buying one? Yeah, we cover that. We also hear about purchasing a larger established resort versus a smaller park in need of repair. Mark shares what to look for in RV resorts for sale, as well as common obstacles of campground management and how he overcame them. And in a discussion about purpose, Mark explains the work he's doing with Care Camps.
