Durango Specialty for Sale
– This is a unique opportunity to purchase a beautiful,
turnkey 104-site campground resort offering RV
sites, cabins and tent sites, in a premier southwest
Colorado location. The resort also offers a wide variety
of glamping cabin rentals, from traditional log-style to
contemporary and several riverfront cabins.
– The property includes approximately 800 feet of the
Animas River, spanning both sides of the water. In
Colorado, owning both sides of a river is a benefit
because you then are granted exclusive rights to the
banks and river bottom, effectively allowing you to
restrict wading or anchoring.
– Premier location only 13 miles south of Purgatory Ski
Resort, 14 miles north of Durango and nestled next to
the San Juan Mountain range, which in the summer
sees hundreds of thousands of 4x4 enthusiasts to
access an extensive network of historic 19th-century
mining roads, dramatic high-alpine scenery and
challenging mountain passes.
– Transient RV, cabin, and tent revenue increased 7.54%
from 2024 to 2025, driven by sustained demand for
outdoor lodging and the ownership’s strong operational
execution. As current ownership has right sized payroll,
the current manager’s double wide could be rented
for additional income or used by an owner operator as
their home.
– Current ownership uses a dynamic pricing model,
which should help to continue increasing revenue
through the 2026 season. Average rental rates have
steadily increased throughout the four-year ownership
period. There is also an opportunity to keep the park
open during the winter months.
– The community boasts a significant amenity package
including a heated pool, playground, convenience store,
retail shop, game room, café with a large deck for
dining, laundry room, cable TV, dog park, high-spreed
Wi-Fi, security cameras throughout the park, fire pits,
paved roadways, two bath houses, and an observation
deck overlooking the Animas.
– The community consists of 104 total sites (73 RV, 24
cabins, 6 tent sites, and 1 mobile home) with a variety
of back-in and pull-through sites with full hookups,
including municipal water, sewer, and electrical services
as well as Wi-Fi (high-speed Wi-Fi for purchase). RV
sites are a mixture of 30/50 amp connections.
– Current ownership has spent over $600,000 in
upgrades at the property, providing a turn-key operation
for the next operator. Major improvements included
electrical upgrades around the property, lagoon liner
replacement, glamping cabin upgrades, put new metal
roofs on all cabins, café and store improvements,
installed high-speed Wi-Fi network and security
cameras throughout the park, and much more.
