Frequently Asked Questions

Which campground amenities have the best ROI?

Wi-Fi typically has the best ROI due to low installation cost ($5,000-15,000) and strong guest demand. Laundry facilities are also excellent because they generate direct revenue beyond rate increases. Pools are the most expensive ($40,000-100,000+) but can justify $5-10 per night rate increases and significantly boost bookings.

How much can I increase rates with new amenities?

It depends on the amenity and your market. Wi-Fi justifies $2-5 per night. A pool or splash pad supports $5-10 per night. A new bathhouse enables $3-7 per night. A dump station doesn't always increase rates but prevents guest loss. Research what nearby parks with similar amenities charge.

Should I invest in amenities or add more sites?

If your occupancy is above 70%, investing in amenities that justify rate increases often has better ROI than adding sites. If occupancy is below 50%, adding affordable amenities like Wi-Fi or a playground can boost bookings. Below 30% occupancy, focus on marketing before capital improvements.
