Case Studies/Portfolio:

A 30-acre Glampground situated amidst a scenic national park sought assistance from Camp Strategy since its inception in late 2022. As a family-owned and operated venture, ‘Client 1’ looked to Camp Strategy for comprehensive guidance, and our expert advisors stepped in to provide support across various aspects, from design and layout tobudgeting and strategic planning. Through our strategic interventions, ‘Client 1’ achieved significant milestones, transitioning into a cash flow-positive entity within a remarkably short operational span. Phase 1 of the strategic plan materialized successfully, marked by the addition of five canvas glamping tents and a renovation of an existing brick building into a deluxe cabin. Moving into the 2023 season, collaborative efforts continue with plans to expand the property by converting a large hall into a spacious event area and adding dual-purpose RV/tent sites. The projected revenue surge from 2023 to 2024 stands at an impressive 300%, a testament to the impactful strategies implemented, reshaping ‘Client 1’s’ trajectory towards success.

Facing challenging circumstances, a campground in northwest OH, reached out to Camp Strategy for assistance. Recently purchased by investors from various segments of the CRE world, ‘Client 2 encountered significant issues with deferred maintenance, tenant concerns, and mismanagement within the team. Undeterred by the daunting task, Camp Strategy initiated a comprehensive turnaround plan. Beginning with the removal of underperforming management and the recruitment of a new, capable team, we focused on rebuilding the core operations. Our team diligently implemented systems and procedures to optimize daily operations while launching targeted marketing and sales initiatives to fill vacant campsites. In just four months, our strategic efforts significantly reduced the original vacancy to less than 50%. Positioned for a transformational year in 2023, ‘Client 2’ is on track toward financial stability with a new reservation system, streamlined accounting methods, and tailored budgets created by our expert advisors.
