Maine Campground And Rv Park

Description

Woodland Acres Campground is located on the Saco River, a well-established recreation area in the
foothills of the White Mountains. The campground is about an hour from Maine coastal beaches and
three hours from Boston. It is near the White Mountain National Forest, five alpine ski areas, North Conway shopping outlets, and Sebago Lake. The campground also has direct access to the Interstate Snowmobile Trail system and a public boat launch which abuts the property on the east side.
Woodland Acres? primary draw is the Saco River. The Saco flows from the summit of Mt Washington to the Atlantic Ocean offering canoeing, fishing, and camping along it?s sandy banks and supporting dozens of outfitters and tourism-related businesses. Of these, Woodland Acres is the only campground that offers both a canoe livery (rental and shuttle), and full-service RV camping. Its retail store is one of only two located adjacent to the river.
The campground offers 114 improved sites with a range of hook-ups including 50-amp pull-thrus, 5 group sites and riverfront slots with water and electric. There is plenty of room for rustic tent-camping along Shepherd Stream which borders the property on the south side. Owner?s estimate 40 additional sites could be developed on the 53 acre property, and additional land is available. There is a large activity field with pavilion to accommodate public functions. The canoe livery business operates out of the retail store and includes a fleet of buses, vans, and trucks and trailers to ferry canoeists upriver.

Both the campground and the canoe livery have been consistently profitable, showing steady growth in occupancy and revenue since the business opened in 1985. During their tenure, Woodland Acres? owners focused their resources on building infrastructure, management systems, and customer relations. There is no deferred maintenance. All buildings, furniture, fixtures, and equipment are in good to excellent condition. As a result, this
park requires minimal day-to-day maintenance.
The list price of $1.8 M is supported by three revenue streams, including camp site rentals, store sales, and canoe rentals. Each of these businesses has a solid upside for future growth, and each could be either leased or sold subject to a master plan to assure continued synergistic growth.

Woodland Acres is one of the few RV campground currently on the market that offers all of the features that knowledgeable buyers are looking for ? location, waterfront, growth potential, strong earnings history, and turnkey condition. For an investor, developer or operator, it is a unique business opportunity with solid prospects for
growth and profitability.
