The wrong location doesn't just limit your growth — it can end your investment before it starts. CCG's site selection consulting gives you the geographic, demographic, and competitive intelligence to choose with confidence.
Most campground failures trace back to a single decision made before a single site was graded. CCG exists to make sure that decision is the right one.
A campground that travelers can't easily find or enter — even a great one — will consistently underperform rate and occupancy projections. Highway visibility and clear ingress routes are non-negotiable.
Discovering zoning incompatibilities, environmental restrictions, or permitting obstacles after land purchase is one of the most expensive mistakes in campground development. We identify these before you close.
Entering a market where supply already meets or exceeds demand forces you to compete on price from day one. Our competitive mapping identifies white space where your park can command premium rates.
CCG's site evaluation methodology has been refined across 175+ campground developments. We don't just check boxes — we score, compare, and rank candidate sites against each other and against proven benchmarks.
We analyze AADT (Annual Average Daily Traffic) data, evaluate sight lines, ingress/egress geometry, and proximity to major travel corridors to ensure your park is findable, visible, and accessible.
We map population density, household income, RV ownership rates, and camping behavior within 2-, 4-, and 6-hour drive times — the key inputs for occupancy and rate modeling.
We identify every competing park within your trade area, analyze their site mix, rates, amenities, reviews, and occupancy — then quantify the gap your property is positioned to fill.
We assess current zoning classifications, likely variance requirements, jurisdiction-specific RV park ordinances, and development timeline risks before you commit capital to a site.
We evaluate utility availability (water, sewer, electric), topography, floodplain exposure, and soil conditions — and translate them into realistic site preparation and infrastructure cost estimates.
Water features, wooded terrain, proximity to attractions, and scenic quality directly affect your ability to command premium rates and generate repeat visitation. We score these systematically.
A structured five-step process that eliminates guesswork and gives you documented evidence for every land decision.
We learn your investment goals, park concept, budget, and any candidate sites already on your radar.
We define your target geography based on growth corridors, travel patterns, and underserved markets.
We identify candidate parcels and run each through our 6-factor framework to shortlist the strongest options.
Shortlisted sites receive full competitive, demographic, zoning, and infrastructure analysis with scoring.
You receive a documented site report with ranked recommendations — ready to share with your team, lender, or broker.
