About this property
Additional info and photos: https://www.parksandplaces.com/56-site-illinois-rv-park-for-sale-near-state-parks/ Established 56-Site RV Park with Reliable Income and Room to Grow Photos of Illinois RV Park for Sale | Property Layout & Amenities This well-established 56-site campground in Illinois sits on just over 10 acres of land, offering a quiet, rural setting that remains highly accessible from two major interstate highways. The property includes a strong mix of full and partial hookup RV sites, a rental trailer, multiple cabins, and dedicated tent sites. A large, well-maintained main building anchors the park, housing the camp store, registration office, and guest laundry facilities, with a convenient owner’s apartment located right upstairs. Having operated under the current ownership for 25 years, the park features solid infrastructure, a concrete swimming pool, and a consistent seasonal customer base drawn by the region’s highly visited natural attractions. Solid Infrastructure in Place: The property runs on well-maintained private utility systems, with 50-amp electrical service added to many of the prime hook-up sites in recent years. Stable Day-to-Day Revenue: Multiple income streams are generated through site rentals, propane sales, firewood, and on-site laundry facilities. Long-term tenants pay directly for their metered electricity. Room to Grow: The property footprint includes a hilltop area of roughly two acres that offers a clear path for future site development and park expansion. Desirable Amenities: The park is outfitted with a concrete swimming pool, playground, basketball court, dog park, and a scenic creek running through the lower edge of the grounds. Strong Draw Location: Benefiting heavily from nearby state parks and recreation areas, the campground serves as an easy, accessible retreat for travelers and weekenders alike. Buildings The central hub of the park is a 1,867-square-foot main building that cleanly incorporates the registration office, a camp store, and guest laundry facilities, alongside well-maintained bathhouses. Directly above the commercial space is a private owner’s apartment, allowing for an incredibly efficient management lifestyle. Additional structures include a large 40×42 pole barn used for heavy equipment storage and maintenance, as well as a sturdy outdoor pavilion utilized by guests for gatherings and shade. Area Attractions Positioned in a popular outdoor recreation corridor in the Midwest, this park is a favored destination for travelers looking to explore deep sandstone canyons, hiking trails, and cascading waterfalls. Just a few miles from the property, state parks draw hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. The easy on-and-off access from major interstates makes it a reliable stop for those traveling across the country or heading out from the nearby metropolitan suburbs for a quiet weekend in nature.

Before you call the broker
8 things are not disclosed on this listing. These are the questions that would close the gap — specific to a park, not a generic list.
Net operating income — not disclosed
What is the trailing twelve-month NOI, and what does it include and exclude?
The single number a lender will size debt against. Ask what is excluded — management fees and reserves are the usual omissions.
What period the financials cover — not disclosed
Are these figures trailing twelve months, last calendar year, or projected?
A projected stabilised NOI and a current operating NOI can differ by a third, and both get called "NOI".
Gross income and operating expenses — not disclosed
Can you share a trailing twelve-month profit and loss, with the expense lines itemised?
NOI alone hides whether income is high or expenses are being under-reported. The split is what you underwrite.
Reason for sale — not disclosed
Why is the owner selling, and how long have they held it?
Never published on a listing, always worth knowing. Retirement and a looming capital bill are very different situations.
Site count and hookup mix — not disclosed
How many sites are there, and how many are full-hookup, partial or tent?
Full-hookup sites earn a multiple of what a tent site does. The count alone does not tell you the income.
Operating season and seasonal mix — not disclosed
Is this year-round or seasonal, and what is the split between seasonal, monthly and transient guests?
A seasonal park with a five-month window is a different business from a year-round one at the same annual revenue.
Utility infrastructure — not disclosed
Are water, sewer and electric municipal or private, and what condition is the infrastructure in?
A private septic or well at end of life is a capital item that can exceed a year of NOI, and it will not appear in the expenses.
Permits and non-conforming use — not disclosed
Is the current site count permitted, and is any of it legal non-conforming?
A park operating more sites than it is permitted for cannot be financed at the income it shows.
Asking price — disclosed
Currency of the asking price — disclosed
