About this property
More info and photos: https://www.parksandplaces.com/michigan-campground-for-sale-3315790/ Family campground and float business on 1,000 feet of forested river frontage. This well-reviewed business is located directly on the south branch of popular float river. Guests come to fish for trout, swim, boat, and enjoy camping by the clear water. There are hiking and biking trails, abundant wildlife to observe, and beautiful lakes to swim in. Guests also enjoy browsing in the camp store for souvenirs, snacks, and supplies. The area offers good schools, and the park generates substantial income. Cabins are open during hunting season, with ample state and federal land near the property. Staff assist customers with inquiries and highlight local attractions. Potential buyers should not view this as just another campground on a plot of land. The park sits on 12 riverfront acres, making the actual property more valuable than a standard campground. The business is very well established with a consistent clientele. It is conveniently located off two major highways and offers a relaxed, family friendly & rustic camping experience. The park has multiple sources of revenue and is turn-key ready for a new owner. The trifecta of the campground, camp store, and river trips results in a strong and profitable business.

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
Whether the land is included — disclosed
