★★★★★

Campground Consulting Group has been pivotal in our design and planning process of each park with valuable input every step of the way. They really have a true owner's perspective. Rather than some consultant that just tells you to spend more money or suffer, they produce cost effective solutions and even find many areas where we can spend less. I cannot imagine building a park without their feedback anymore.

When searching for a campground expert everyone we spoke with referred us to Campground Consulting Group. It quickly became obvious that CCG lives and breathes the Outdoor Hospitality Industry. Work was consistently delivered on time and their feasibility study was incredibly thorough, comprehensive, and educational. We will absolutely continue to work with CCG as we further explore RV Park development options. Their work and professionalism is second to none.

We are adding an RV park and glamping resort to our golf course and wedding event venue. Campground Consulting Group's feasibility study and financial analysis model needed to be customized to include these businesses and revenue streams. The team's collective financial and business acumen and ability to understand our blended business model exceeded our expectations. Over the years I have engaged in many studies for different businesses. CCG's study and financial model is the most comprehensive, detailed, and helpful study we have ever received. We are currently working with CCG and the Nadi Group on land planning and plan to use CCG for construction, operational and marketing guidance going forward.

It has been a pleasure working with the Campground Consulting Group. They have been very thorough in the process. They have created a detailed feasibility report that illustrates location benefits, competition, market analysis, potential customers and much more. This information is extremely valuable to the City of Rock Island in determining the success of the project.

I needed a very good campground expert. One with experience, knowledge, background, not just running or managing one, but a complete understanding of the industry, including but not limited to its changing and ever evolving standards. I found that person in Jayne Cohen. Smart, sharp, experienced and with the gravitas that naturally comes with knowing a subject inside out. Jayne and her team were tremendous assets, researching articles, standards, codes, even local ordinances and how the surrounding campgrounds handled the issue at hand. I could not have found a better expert than Jayne Cohen.

I hired Campground Consulting Group to help me with pain points in my business. As a young owner with 3 parks, I appreciate the years of experience and in-depth understanding of the industry CCG has. My original goal was to gain further understanding of where to optimize my business. Through the guidance offered at Campground Consulting, I raised the rates at my parks confidently, as well as optimized other areas that were underperforming. I can honestly say that every time I speak with Jayne or a member of her team, I walk away with a higher level of understanding of the industry, as well as practical, actionable strategies to improve my parks. Their advice easily paid for itself within the first few months.

I had the pleasure of working with Jayne Cohen on a new RV park project and the level of detail she and her team provided is exceptional!

I acquired Lost River RV in late 2023. As part of my diligence I retained CCG to complete an assessment of the park infrastructure and operations. Immediately I saw the expertise, professionalism and competence of the entire group. Terry Munoz performed an onsite inspection and immediately highlighted areas of weakness, but also as important, if not more importantly, he highlighted opportunities and a path forward. This included not only a capex plan, but also an operational and a management plan. Terry has been an invaluable resource in the advancement of the park. He's professional, reliable, and easy to work with.

I met Jayne Cohen back in 2018 while investigating entry into the campground business. I was immediately impressed with her thoroughness, first-hand experience in the industry as an owner and operator, and in-depth knowledge of all aspects of the business. We hired multiple campground consultants to learn the business as quickly as possible. Five years and 14 acquisitions and 4 active developments later with over $350 million invested, Jayne and her team are still our go-to consultant. She assisted with due diligence, acquisition, and operational auditing on our first two property investments. CCG has also conducted market and feasibility studies for new development and advised us on land planning.

Our go-to RV park consultants are Campground Consulting Group. They have assisted us with our RV park developments in Florida. CCG is a trusted source for up-to-date industry information and knowledge, feasibility studies, and RV park development guidance. Highly recommend using their services whether you are developing an RV park for the first time or are an experienced owner-operator like us.

We approached Jayne Cohen after seeing her speak at the OHI prospective owner's workshop. Campground Consulting Group (CCG) had assisted our lender with due diligence research for our entry into the industry, which included purchasing 27 parks across the U.S. The depth and breadth of industry knowledge and expertise within CCG are exceptional and unmatched. They have provided invaluable assistance with best practices, operations, retail, expansion, new development, and sub-metering of electricity. Even with our experienced management team and leaders, we continue to turn to CCG for guidance, support, and feasibility research. We highly recommend Campground Consulting Group!

As MH operators and developers, we engaged Campground Consulting Group when acquiring two sister properties in Texas because it was one of our first projects combining RV and MH. CCG conducted a site visit and operational audit visiting both properties during the same visit. We have implemented many of their suggestions from their operational audit report (new websites, electrical upgrades at Breeze Lake, adding shade around the pool areas, etc.). This winter season will be our most profitable yet! We recently reached out to CCG again to assist with our Wi-Fi.

I have been working with Jayne Cohen and Campground Consulting Group for many years because they are the premier campground consultants. The knowledge and experience they have is second to none in our industry. Whether they are providing owner operators with operational audits, or buyers and developers with feasibility studies on expansion and development potential, their expertise is invaluable. I regularly refer buyers and sellers to Jayne to assist them with bringing the business to the next level.

SPOT2NITE engaged Campground Consulting Group as part of our research before entering the RV park/campground industry. The CCG team coordinated a brainstorming session with all their associates and allowed us to confidentially present our idea and then receive feedback. The feedback was invaluable and offered us insight into consumer behavior and demand as well as gave us expert perspective from the campground owner's point of view. Since launch Campground Consulting Group has been a strong supporter and advocate for SPOT2NITE. Their early insight helped us tremendously, and we are now proud of our growing community of over 100,000 RV, tent, lodging, and glamping sites!

We have worked with Campground Consulting Group (CCG) from the beginning developing an RV park and cabin resort on a 150-acre property with three lakes in southeastern NC. As experienced land developers, we have spent our lives developing tract homes, apartment complexes, and commercial office and retail spaces, but we had never built an RV resort. Before engaging CCG, we interviewed Jayne and several other consulting firms. She was clearly the most knowledgeable, experienced, and detail oriented during these interviews, but her fees were 2–3 times higher than the others. Simply put, they care, and this is evident in their actions. The old phrase "you get what you pay for" rings true with CCG, and they clearly offer great value.

Woolpert hired CCG as subcontractors to provide their expertise on a county campground expansion project in North Carolina. The CCG team was tasked with examining the market and the financial phasing feasibility of the project keeping in mind budgetary restrictions set by the county. Their knowledge of the campground industry and campground development expertise allowed the design of a phasing plan that made sense for the construction while at the same time continuing to operate and serve guests at the campground during construction. CCG met and surpassed our expectations. It has been a pleasure working with Jayne & Mike, and I must say, their expertise is truly "tops" in the industry!

Hickory Hills Camp Resort has been a dedicated client of Campground Consulting Group since 2013. When we signed with Jayne, she assured us we would never pay for her services as an expense. She explained that her recommendations would always make us more money than her consulting fees would cost. Her promise rang true, and we have been making great strides with business improvements ever since. Our business has expanded with new construction in the last few years and Jayne's direction was crucial to our success. Our bank representatives stated that hiring Campground Consulting Group was the best decision we could have made. I whole heartedly agree with them!

Campground Consulting Group provided valuable insight in assessing a development opportunity for an outdoor visitor accommodation project. We needed expertise to evaluate the opportunity and provide conceptual planning. They were professional, extremely knowledgeable about the market and trends, provided excellent analysis and reporting, and were cognizant of all deliverable timelines. As a team, they provide full-service consulting and understand the outdoor RV and camping business inside and out. I highly recommend their services.

Jayne and her team assisted me with due diligence on a park here in Texas that I had under contract. The property was a challenging puzzle given that it is in a desirable part of Texas and is one of the prettiest parks in the entire state. But it's not making money, so I was assessing a turnaround and the risks associated with that process. Jayne brought expertise to the process in numerous ways, but specifically her understanding of highly amenitized parks, extensive cabin operations, and transient park operations/assumptions. Even though I am an experienced RV park owner, she helped me refine my underwriting assumptions and make the right decision. I call her regularly on my own due diligence, development prospects, and market analysis.
