Description

This will be an excellent fit for someone who will align well with the needs of the local community, to increase the seasonal camper base. Give us a call to discuss the current situation.

This established campground is located in one of Nova Scotia’s recognized tourism regions and has established a reputation for it's convenient location to all popular amenities.

This sizeable operation features more than 100 campsites, including a valuable mix of seasonal and overnight accommodations that provides both recurring seasonal income and higher-turnover transient revenue. The property serves RV travellers, traditional campers and guests seeking upgraded outdoor experiences through a diversified accommodation offering that includes cabins, rental RVs, glamping tents and premium specialty accommodations.

The campground has been developed as a destination experience, with guest amenities including a heated in-ground swimming pool, recreation facilities, playground, laundry, showers, Wi-Fi and other supporting campground infrastructure. Its location provides convenient access to major tourism attractions, coastal experiences, communities and transportation routes, helping attract both regional and destination travellers.

From an acquisition perspective, the opportunity is compelling: established infrastructure, significant site capacity, multiple revenue streams and an operating platform that would be costly to replicate from the ground up.

For an existing campground operator, hospitality focused entrepreneur, or tourism investor seeking the right opportunity where they can make an immediate positive impact on an established Atlantic Canadian destination property, this represents a meaningful opportunity to quickly move a business up a level and reap the rewards of doing so.

* Seller's Discretionary Earnings (“SDE”) is a calculation of the total financial benefit that a single full time owner-operator would derive from a business on an annual basis. SDE is the pretax and pre-interest profits, before non-cash expenses, owner's benefits, one time investments, and any non-related income or expenses. SDE may require that expenses be adjusted if a new owner (Purchaser) will necessarily need to take on a new expense. SDE is also referred to as Adjusted Cash Flow, Total Owner's Benefit, Seller's Discretionary Cash Flow, or Recast Earnings.
