Purchasing a Campground

Many people who camp at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resorts inquire about what it takes to enter the RV Park and Campground business. As you may imagine, owning a campground is quite different from enjoying the experience at one. As an owner, your job is to create magical experiences for families, which requires a new set of business skills that our franchise can assist you with.

One of the most affordable ways to become a Jellystone Park™ is to buy a campground that might be a “sleeper” – one that has most of the required amenities but needs fixing up. To find Jellystone Park campgrounds for sale, see the current list below.

To find properties outside our network, do an internet search using the words “Campgrounds for Sale.”  You’ll see a list of national brokers who are familiar with the Jellystone Park™ system and can assist you with finding the right property.  You can also visit www.ARVC.org – the website for the National Association for RV Parks and Campgrounds – for information on the RV Park and Campground industry. ARVC has a list of brokers they recommend as well.
