Use this benchmark calculator to estimate annualized Net Operating Income (NOI) and market value based on site counts and current cap rate bands.
Understanding seasonal operating cycles and geographic demand drivers across the country.
Florida, Texas, Georgia, and the Carolinas experience massive winter snowbird influx and stable year-round occupancy, driving the lowest cap rates.
Colorado, Utah, Montana, and Arizona boast the highest peak nightly rates, driven by national park tourism and experiential glamping demand.
Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin feature extremely loyal seasonal campers with 60–80% repeat annual bookings, creating high cash flow stability.
New York, Pennsylvania, and New England have strict municipal zoning and environmental controls, protecting existing operators from new supply.
How experienced buyers and operators boost Net Operating Income (NOI) and expand valuation multiples.
Directly billing long-term and monthly campers for electric usage reduces owner utility expenses by 15%–25%. At a 9% cap rate, saving $25,000/year in power adds +$277,000 in direct asset value.
+15% to +25% NOI ExpansionOver 75% of new RVs manufactured today require 50-Amp dual-AC service. Upgrading 30-Amp pedestals unlocks premium large rig bookings and justifies immediate $50–$100/month lot rate hikes.
Premium Big-Rig CaptureConverting 10% of underutilized tent sites or buffer land to furnished safari tents or tiny homes generates $150–$300/night ADR compared to standard $55/night RV sites with rapid 12-month capital payback.
2.5x to 3.5x ADR IncreaseReplacing static flat-rate pricing with demand-based software for holiday weekends (Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day) routinely boosts annual top-line revenue by 8%–14% with zero capital expenditure.
