  1. How To Generate Campground's Non-Site Revenue When a campground owner is trying to make their property more profitable  the first thing they usually do is increase the site rates. This can be effective  but also dangerous because expensive site rates can turn off people from  coming to your campground. Instead, they may opt to go and stay at your  competitors down the street for a cheaper rate.    Thankfully site rates are not the only way to gain revenue at your campground.  We’ve come up with 14 ways to earn more money from your campers while  they are at your RV Campgrounds.  Low Effort Income Streams The first list of ideas are those that require little to no effort to manage them.  You already have a full-time job running a campground. Instead, see how  many of these you can implement in your ​RV park​ and start making more  money this month. 

  2. 1. Laundry One of the top amenities that travelers are looking for at a campground is the  ability to do laundry, especially if your park attracts full-time or monthly  tenants. We’ve seen laundry rates anywhere from $1.00 to $4.00 per load in  the washer or dryer.  Once you have the machines set up you can check as needed to collect the  quarters from the machines and also make sure that people aren’t abusing the  machines for example by washing dog beds in them.  2. Internet & Cable Entertainment An important amenity that campers look for at a park is the entertainment.  Since 93% of campers bring their mobile devices on camping trips they want  to be able to share their experiences on social media, watch cable channels,  and stream the latest Netflix series.  You can sell campers different levels of speed and data plans for  entertainment.  3. Vending machines It can be such an inconvenience to make a trip to the grocery store especially  if you just need a snack, soda, or emergency toilet paper.  Setting up vending machines around the park is a great way to make a few  more dollars and save your campers an unnecessary trip to the store.  4. Storage If your campground has any excess land you may be surprised by how many  people need places to park their toys. Why not keep them at their favorite  campground for a small fee?  A few of the common things that campers could possibly store on your land  are:  RV’s & Trailers  ●

  3. Boats & Four Wheelers  Storage Units  ● ● 5. Arcade If you have a ​lot of families that stay at your park​ it can be difficult for parents  to keep them entertained all the time. Perhaps they are exhausted and just  want to take a nap which can be hard with a lot of people in a small rig.   

  4. This is where having an arcade is a great way to help keep kids entertained  and out of trouble. Similar to providing laundry machines this is a good way to  gain the pocket change of your campers which can really add up over time.  6. Sponsorships & Ads on Your Campground Maps A creative solution to bring in more money is to sell ad space on your  campground maps. This is a great way to introduce campers to local RV  mechanics, restaurants, and other services your campers may need. You can  either charge them a flat rate for the ads or a revenue split of services you  send to them.  7. Local Experiences & Tours While people are at your campground they often want to explore and  experience the local community. You can build relationships with these  businesses and tour companies so that each camper you send their way you  get some kind of compensation.  Here are some businesses you could strive to build relationships with.  Local wineries  Hikes and trails  Local tour guides  National parks & museums  ● ● ● ● High Effort Income Streams These ideas can bring in a lot more money but also require more financial  investment to start and possibly additional employees to run them as well.  1. Campground Store For many campers, the store at the campground can make or break a trip!  Saving on doing extra trips to Walmart or Camping World by just walking to  the park grounds store means more time they can spend relaxing and  enjoying their vacation. 

  5. You can check out our list of the essentials to include in your campground  store.   2. Equipment Rentals Depending on what activities are available around your park will allow you to  be able to rent out equipment to your visitors.  If you’re by water you could rent paddleboards, tubes for floating, or even  kayaks. If you are landlocked you can still rent out golf carts or bicycles for  your happy campers.  3. Gas Stations Having fuel on-site can be a great additional source of revenue for your park.  Gas stations are a successful business on their own and you can add one  onto your property. This makes it so you can make money off of people who  are not even staying in your park.  4. Propane Refill Station If your campers use a lot of propane for barbecuing or for keeping their rigs  warm it can make sense to keep a propane refill station on the property. The  convenience of being so close can allow you to charge a premium on the fuel.  5. Restaurant While on vacation people like to enjoy good meals. If you have experience in  the food industry this could be a good additional venture for your park. 

  6.   If you don’t want to bother managing a restaurant you can have local food  trucks come to your park for a small fee. This is a win-win for you and the  food truck.  6. Events Providing events for your campers to attend while staying at your park is a  great way to help them build memories and want to come back every year.  Here are a few campground event ideas.  Ice cream social – pay per a scoop  Bingo – pay per a card  Movie night – popcorn and refreshments  ● ● ●

  7. 7. Yurts A lot of campgrounds already have cabins on them. If you’re looking for a way  to add more occupancy without breaking the bank think about using yurts  instead.  Yurts are popular with the glamping crowd and do not cost as much to build  as a cabin.  How Do You Make More Revenue?  These are some of the ways we have found to make more money at our park,  but we are interested to hear what works for you.  Any additional ideas that we missed?
