"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. The cost was our only hesitation. In hindsight, after the successful construction of phase one of our 650-site project, our decision to engage Campground Consulting Group has been the best decision. CCG guided us through feasibility, financial modeling, land planning and design, architecture, engineering, specifications, and construction. They recruited our general manager and continue to provide sound operational guidance. CCG created our logo and website, and they now manage our Google Ads and social media campaigns. Simply put, they care, and this is evident in their actions. You can call or text any of the associates at any time of the day or evening and expect an immediate response. The old phrase “you get what you pay for” rings true with CCG, and they clearly offer great value. We can’t imagine working with a better team of campground experts and look forward to collaborating with them on the future phases of this project."

"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!"

-Terry Broussard, CEO/Co-Founder, SPOT2NITE

"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."

-Ray Allison, Chief Development & Strategy Officer, Indiana State Fairgrounds & Event Center

"We approached Jayne Cohen after seeing her speak at the OHI prospective owner’s workshop, not realizing we had already indirectly met her through our lenders. Campground Consulting Group (CCG) had assisted our lender with the 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 Campground Consulting Group for guidance, support, and feasibility research. We highly recommend Campground Consulting Group!"

-David Ross, CEO, Rjourney, Goldendale WA

"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. They also assisted with operational audits, recreational programming and developing SOP manuals and procedures. Even with the depth of our current organization we still find value in working with CCG and having Jayne just a phone call away. You can learn a lot just having a casual conversion with Jayne and I enjoy catching up with her often."

"I can certainly recommend the Market & Competitive Analysis Study along with Feasibility Study services provided by Campground Consulting Group. The developers I have worked with have found the studies to be professional, comprehensive, and beneficial in the decision-making process related to their project."

-Larry Brownfield, Assistant Vice President of Franchise Development Services, Kampgrounds of America, Inc. (KOA)

"The depth and breadth of Jayne and the Campground Consulting Group team’s campground knowledge was truly amazing.   Their feasibility study provided valuable industry insight allowing our team all the tools necessary to make a complete and informed credit decision."

-Eric Manke, Senior Vice President, Business Development Manager, Byline Bank, Chicago, IL

"Having known and worked with Jayne for over 30 years, I can attest to her vast experience in the outdoor recreation industry as an owner, operator, developer, and consultant. These attributes, in combination with one another, enable her to provide tremendous industry knowledge and insight to her clients. I would highly recommend Jayne and Campground Consulting Group to anyone who is looking to expand their existing properties or who may be entering into this industry for the first time."

-Rob Schutter, President, Camp Jellystone, LLC

"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."

- Austin Faught, President, RV Park Management, Austin, TX

"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."
