    I have no experience owning/running a campground, but depending on where it is, I may be a customer!  Good luck with it!

    We stayed up that way Memorial Day weekend a few years back. We went to the Hall of Fame. I can’t remember off the top of my head where we stayed, though. Like I said, I don’t know much about running a campground, but I think with the hall of fame there, you can probably do pretty good. I know what I like in a campground, so if you’re looking for opinions, feel free to reach out. Also, as already mentioned, check some of the RV forums out there. There’s people with a lot more knowledge/advice than me. Lol

    @Adam Glassman - Thought I might have seen that one Adam and thought about making an offer. Why are you selling it...not the profit potential you thought it would be or simply too far away to manage it?  Shoot me a PM.

    I don't have any experience in the realm of campgrounds but do have a friend who's family has owned a small campground in the family for a number of years.  Not sure if would apply to your park, but I know one common issue was making sure campers' are responsible with having fires at their sites.  This campground was typical like most of the Adirondacks; heavily wooded.  I can inquire for further tips/pointers if you'd like?
    Good luck!

     Hey Rich, that's great!  If you don't mind me asking, whereabouts is the parcel you're checking out?
    If you need a CMA done or want to check out other parcels, let me know; I'd be glad to help.

    He's been a bit trickier to track down since the pandemic but I'll do my best to track him down.  He's been the owner since taking the reigns from his father, so certainly has years of wisdom!

    Well i actually spoke to the town planning board yesterday and found out the parcel is only zoned for one single family and a few other issues with the parcel so ive forgone that one but im definitely interested in looking for others!

    Zoning and building regulations can definitely make or break a deal! Are you interested in anything in the Adirondacks? Depending on where you're looking, I could send you land listings from the MLS.
