Hillside Campground Resort Evart Michigan
Turn Key RV Campground near Muskegon River
Marketing description
An incredible turn-key hospitality investment awaits in the heart of Northern Michigan's outdoor recreational paradise. Hillside Campground is a highly popular, beautifully designed seasonal retreat spanning 20 pristine acres. Currently operating four months out of the year, this profitable gem has built a loyal, dedicated following of seasonal guests who look forward to returning year after year.
At the center of the resort is a gorgeous, spring-fed 2-acre stocked pond flanked by 5 charming rental cabins. For the owner-operator or an added revenue stream, the property includes a substantial 2,500 sq ft main house featuring completely separate entrances for the main and lower levels—allowing it to be easily rented out as two independent, income-producing units. Additionally, the standalone camp store/office building has been optimized to double as a fully functional sleeping unit equipped with its own bathroom.
Designed with foresight, Hillside Campground offers unprecedented scalability. While the park currently features 45 spacious sites, the extensive underground septic infrastructure is already in place to expand up to 100 sites and easily add full hook-ups to the existing water-and-electric lots. The utility footprint is highly robust, anchored by three dedicated water wells and a backup generator positioned in the garage ready for final hookup. This property is being offered truly turn-key, including high-value commercial property maintenance tools, a John Deere 1600 mower, and a utility tractor with a PTO mower to ensure seamless day-one operations.

Because of these rich local attractions, Hillside Campground enjoys an incredibly high rate of repeat seasonal guests, guaranteeing stable, predictable occupancy from the moment the gates open each spring.
