Have you ever thought of getting into the camping industry? As an investor, one of the most important things to figure out is how to get a good return on your investments. Buying a campground franchise is one way to do that. With a franchise, you’ll get a consistent flow of cash while being involved in the exciting recreational industry. If you check out the statistics, you’ll find out that in the United States alone, approximately 12,000 businesses are linked to camping and RVs. These businesses generate no less than $37.5 billion per year. From these numbers, it is apparent that getting a piece of this industry is a good idea. Here are some reasons to consider buying a campground franchise. Big Business NetworksBuying a campground franchise allows you to benefit from an extensive network of businesses. For instance, a lot of campground franchises have numerous sites all over the United States. As a result, anyone who has visited any of their campgrounds before and had a good time will readily come to your own place as well. The moment you open your business, you will have customers waiting for you already. This makes the job of marketing quite easy. Higher Success RatesBuying a franchise will enable you to enjoy a higher rate of success compared to someone who establishes their own independent business from scratch. The only thing you have to do when you get a campground franchise is to provide excellent service. The market is already there, as about six out of 10 U.S. households have had someone who has gone camping. Additionally, you can leverage a popular brand — which means customers will already trust that you provide excellent services. If you deliver high-quality services to your customers, nothing will stop you from succeeding. Easier Funding AcquisitionEstablishing your own campground requires substantial resources. If you have tried it before, then this is not news to you. Securing enough capital can be an enormous challenge. Fortunately, when you are buying a campground franchise, getting money from lenders will not be an arduous task. Lenders become a lot more inclined to deal with you because of your association with a big brand. When you establish yourself as an independent party, it’s difficult to trust that you will make enough profits to return the money you would have borrowed. Apart from lenders trusting your affiliation with a big brand, the franchise owner can also help you secure capital. That, however, depends on your agreement, therefore it is not always guaranteed. There’s no doubt that starting a campground is profitable. However, it is a bit difficult to go at it on your own. Buying a franchise is like using a tried-and-tested formula, which means there is a greater chance of success. To learn more about obtaining your own campground franchise, contact us today. |

Bill Pott – Cave City, KY
I really like the way it brings me a nice class of customers. I get happy families. I get people who want to come and to spend money to have fun. They enjoy our park. It’s just wonderful they way they come in, and you get so many that want to meet the other guests, they want to go have fun on the Jumping Pillow, then they want to go to the Splash Pad – and they want … Read more

Our family has been a franchisee for over 30 years. The support that both the franchisor and fellow franchisees offer goes above and beyond expectations.
Erv & Marilyn Banes – Frankenmuth, MI
We decided to convert to the Jellystone Park™ system in 1996 because the market conditions were changing. Several of our colleagues had converted and grown in the process. We found that by changing our customer base to families, rather than seniors, we expanded.
The advantage of a Jellystone Park™ is that it is so much more alive than the average park. Plu… Read more

In 2001, we began a unique challenge to build a campground on our family farm 35 miles inland from Myrtle Beach. People responded to our design of large concrete pads, full hook-ups, plenty of open space, and ultimate customer service. But we soon had “growing pains” with procedures and operations.
In 2003, we joined Jellystone Park™. The operations… Read more

We got into the Jellystone Park brand at the beginning of last year. This is the end of our first season. We are pretty excited about it. What I like most about the brand is the fact that they are drawing in families from three hours away. They all know what we’re there for, and they’re willing to spend a longer time at our park than just the weekend. The inv… Read more
Rick Spear – Estes Park, CO
We’ve been in the Jellystone Park franchise system for 20 years this year. It was a family endeavor to begin with, but over those 20 years we’ve seen significant growth of our campground. In particular, just the last three years in a row we’ve been up double digits, 10-11% points three years in a row. We’ve really been coming on strong, and continue to see good… Read more
Theresa Isaacson – Caledonia, WI
We’re going to be entering our 13th season, and I sure would hate to own a property without being Yogi branded. The reason we really like Jellystone Parks is because of the support behind us. With 80 other parks in the system, we have 80 sources of question-and-answer type people to go to. The support is wonderful. The franchise, the CJS system itself – their … Read more

Within 5 years, we have more than tripled our revenue. We have no regrets becoming a franchisee of Jellystone Park!

The Jellystone Park brand has made a huge difference in our business. If we had 50 more sites and more cabins, they’d be filled every weekend.
