From Vision to Reality: Creating and Constructing Profitable Camp-Resorts

Environmental Design Group is one of the nation’s largest consulting firms specializing in campground master planning, design, and construction services.

Imagine a family driving into your camp-resort for the first time. As they proceed slowly to their cabin or RV site, a sense of excitement builds. They stop, get out, look around and shout, “WOW!”
To be financially successful, a family camp-resort needs to be planned and built to elicit and deliver that “WOW” experience. Anything less means your guests will have nothing more than an average visit that they could get at another campground.
Today’s Jellystone Park is a family vacation destination. Leisure Systems, Inc. has created a unique brand with attractions, activities and features that separate it from other campgrounds. Bringing that brand to life comes down to the master plan which includes elements such as:
- The arrival and check-in experience
- Intuitive and easy to follow wayfinding and circulation patterns
- Layout and design of RV and cabin sites that maximize views and create attractive living spaces
- Placement of buildings and amenities to support programs, operations and, of course, all the fun family attractions!
