| business plan for campground: Renting Dirt Andrew Zipser, 2021-09-15 The average length of time before an RV campground is put up for sale is just seven years--and as it turns out, there's a good reason for that. While campers are out to experience fresh air, bucolic surroundings and the easy-going camaraderie of fellow travelers, the people who create that environment are often over-worked, under-paid and stressed out. And to make matters worse, their efforts are too readily dismissed as just renting dirt. This frank, first-hand narrative describes one couple's journey from wide-eyed occasional campers to full-time owners and operators of a medium-sized campground and RV park in the Shenandoah Valley. Buying in early 2013, as the campground industry was just regaining its feet after the Great Recession, the Zipser family soon realized that managing the property was not their biggest challenge--it was managing the people: campers with diverse and often unrealistic expectations, a franchise system led by a brain trust without much operational experience, a transient workforce with employees stuck on the bottom rung of the economic ladder. Each of these challenges was addressed by the Zipsers over the next eight years, most notably by exiting the KOA system and using the savings to improve pay and working conditions. At the same time, however, larger developments were reshaping the entire campground experience. A trend toward more creature comforts--including significant inroads by the digital world--and less tolerance for nature's discomforts gathered strength. Corporate buyers became more active in consolidating the industry. Climate change and extreme weather became more pronounced, battering campgrounds from coast to coast and causing many owners to question the long-term viability of their operations. And then the pandemic hit, turning what had been shaping up as a record-breaking 2020 into a roller-coaster ride of government orders, RVers clamoring for a place to stay and a severely curtailed workforce that never increased enough to adequately meet demand. By late fall, the Zipsers were wide-eyed no longer and ready to call it quits--and when a buyer unexpectedly showed up they did just that, selling yet another family-owned business to a corporate buyer. |

| business plan for campground: Calaveras Big Trees Carol Kramer, Calaveras Big Trees Association, 2010-09-06 Augustus T. Dowd could scarcely believe his eyes when he stumbled upon one of natures majestic wonders in 1852. Hunting down a wounded bear in the hills above the mining camp of Murphys, Dowd instead found a tree of mammoth proportions. After initial skepticism about the size of these trees, news of Dowds discovery quickly spread. Local businessmen soon acquired the grove of 100 mammoth trees, or giant sequoia, and built accommodations for travelers. Thus began one of Californias earliest tourist attractions in 1853. Dedicated as a California State Park in 1931, Calaveras Big Trees State Park hosts 250,000 annual visitors who come from around the world to marvel at these wondrous giants in their magnificent natural surroundings. |

| business plan for campground: The Chance of a Lifetime series Kate Clayborn, 2022-10-27 Count yourself lucky to be a reader of Kate Clayborn’s gorgeously romantic Chance of a Lifetime series! Includes all three books; Beginner’s Luck, Luck of the Draw and Best of Luck. Beginner’s Luck: A scientist with a quiet, steady job at a university, Kit Averin's sudden lottery win changes nothing, with one exception: the fixer-upper she plans to buy, her first and only real home. It’s more than enough to keep her busy, until an unsettlingly handsome, charming, and determined corporate recruiter shows up in her lab. Ben Tucker is willing to put in the time to talk Kit into a big-money position in his firm. Especially when sticking around his hometown for the summer gives him a chance to reconnect with his dad. But the longer he stays, the more questions he has about his own future and where he belongs. What begins as a chilly rebuff soon heats up into an attraction neither Kit nor Ben can deny – and finding themselves lucky in love might just be priceless... Luck of the Draw: Sure, winning the lottery allows Zoe Ferris to quit her job as a cutthroat corporate attorney, but no amount of cash will clear her conscience about the way her firm treated the O’Leary family in a wrongful death case. So she sets out to make things right, only to find gruff, grieving Aiden O’Leary doesn’t want her apology. He does, however, want something else from her. Aiden needs a bride if he hopes to be the winning bid on the campground he wants to purchase as part of his beloved brother’s legacy. Skilled in the art of deception, the cool beauty certainly fits the bill. Only Aiden didn’t expect all the humour and heart Zoe brings to their partnership – or the desire that runs deep between them. Now he’s struggling with his own dark truth – that he’s falling for the very woman he vowed never to forgive... Best of Luck: Greer Hawthorne is finally on the cusp of proving to her big, overprotective family that she’s independent – until a careless mistake jeopardises her plan to graduate. Lucky for her, there’s someone in town who may be able to help. Alex Averin plans to show up for his sister’s wedding, then get straight back to his job as a world-renowned photojournalist. But when gorgeous, good-hearted Greer needs an assist with a photography project, he’s powerless to say no. Can a ceaseless wanderer find a stopping place alongside a woman determined to set out on her own, or are Alex and Greer both pushing their luck too far? Emotional, uplifting and feel-good, this romance series is perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane, Beth O’Leary and Jo Watson. Praise for Kate Clayborn ‘I adore these books.
