Description
Located in one of the most beautiful areas of the province, heavily frequented by tourists, and many wonderful options to live a great life outdoors, this campground has been the victim of many updates and upgrades over the last few years, that has positioned it for a easy transition for a new owner.
With over 200 sites, of which 169 are seasonal (separate meter), there is a strong base of business that provides certain revenue and profitability.
Having helped qualified buyers acquire dozens of campgrounds across Atlantic Canada, we've identified many opportunities for improvement in revenues and we have discovered a unique aspect of this particular market that is driving new additional demand for seasonal campers.
The business operates from Victoria day until Thanksgiving. Given the strength of the seasonal nature of the business, it can be run with the support of just a few hands.
The sale is structured as a sale of 100% of the authorized and issued share capital of the company. For the purposes of this offering, the price considers Working Capital to be adjusted at $0. By completing the NDA and becoming a qualified buyer, we'll be happy to send you a full Offering Memorandum that will answer most, if not all, of your questions.

* 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.
