Selling a Washington campground

Washington sellers are often long-time owners of waterfront and valley parks who want a discreet sale and buyer who can navigate land-use and shoreline rules.

We start with what a Washington campground buyer will pay for: setting and water access, accommodation mix, season length, ancillary revenue and land. We build the offering memorandum around those strengths and release it only to registered, qualified buyers.

What Washington campground buyers verify

Waterfront, forest or mountain setting and shoreline approvals.
Cabin, glamping and boat-access revenue and the length of season.
Ferry, road and smoke or wildfire exposure for access and guest comfort.

Permits, zoning and approvals in Washington

Washington's Growth Management Act (RCW 36.70A) requires covered counties and cities to adopt comprehensive plans and development regulations, and the Shoreline Management Act (RCW 90.58) requires local shoreline master programs and permits for shoreline development. Local health jurisdictions also oversee water and on-site sewage systems. Confirm permits, shoreline conditions and any limits on change of use with local counsel and the permitting authority.

Cabins, glamping units, camp stores and event space bring building, fire-code and health requirements that differ from RV pads, so a Washington campground buyer confirms that each accommodation type and revenue line is approved as built.
