What makes a property developer turn away from traditional projects to develop glamping and RV parks? Property developers are all about the return on their investment and the IRR (internal rate of return). They spend years researching their markets before deciding to invest. Before Tyler Watts took steps to purchase his first site that’s exactly what he did and he has never looked back. He has been so successful with his site Broad River Campground, Mooresboro, North Carolina, that he plans to set up 40 more parks across the USA. In this fascinating conversation, we explore:

• How to choose the perfect site for a glamping resort

• The importance of networking to achieve quick success

• What to know about zoning, planning, engineering, topography and site utilities

• How not having access to a public water and waste system, isn’t a problem

• Why the secret to success is in the added extras

• How to figure out the complexities of building a dome structure

• The importance of motivating and caring about your staff

Now, Tyler and his team operate a fully booked Glamping and RV park and are excited about the potential of the luxury outdoor hospitality industry in the future. For him, it has been a great investment and we can’t wait to see what they come up with next.
