Most businesses fail b/c people don’t understand the finances of what they are investing in. This book gives little to no info on the money side of owning a campground. At one point he says to give discounts to people who complain your rates are too high! Last time I checked a business figures out their costs and what kind of profit they want to make and then charge accordingly. He started by opening a couple primitive sites on his own property ~ this is NOT how most people are going to start this business. The info is VERY repetitive and I’m guessing he got in trouble with the city over permits and zoning b/c he hounds this to death. Save your money ~ Google and YouTube can give you better first hand accounts of ownership.
