• Year Round vs. Seasonal facility ownership
• Overnight vs. Destination facilities (and why Overnight facilities tend to have more income!)
• Personal decisions you’ll need to consider for onsite management

We will define the industry Rules of Thumb for determining business value, but, more importantly, you will also learn how the CGB Cash-On-Cash method is the best way to understand a campground’s worth.
