How to Sell an RV Campsite Membership

Airstream Recreational Vehicle

RV campsite memberships are a budget-friendly way to secure your leisure camping time. Memberships are available in individual campgrounds and as part of a network of facilities. If you're tired of camping, want to get rid of your recreational vehicle, or would just like to try new sites, selling your membership is easier if you use all of the resources available.

Things You'll Need

• Digital camera

Instructions

1. Create a detailed description of the site or sites you own. Mention hookups, the type of campground--"adults only," "pets welcome"--and the amenities that will be available to the new owner like a camp store or recreational opportunities.

2. Ask the owner of the campground if he or she will allow you to post an advertisement on the camp bulletin board--this is the simplest way to let people know you want to sell your campsite. Other campers might be interested in owning a membership at their favorite campground.

3. Contact a timeshare specialist like SellMyTimeshareNOW.com. Campground memberships are quite similar to other types of timeshares like vacation home rentals. Expect to pay the specialist a commission and read your contract carefully.

4. Create a free website through a company like Webs or Wetpaint. Put lots of pictures on it and text describing the campground or campgrounds. Make your contact information easy to find. Take down the website once your campsite has sold so that potential buyers don't waste their time trying to purchase a site that's already been sold.

5. Place a classified advertisement in an RV magazine like "Trailer Life" or "Highways." Spend a little extra to get all of the features in the ad. Link to the website in your ad.

6. Check RV websites. Don't simply place advertisements on sites that host them; read the advertisements placed by other people who are looking to buy a campsite membership and respond to them.

Tips & Warnings

• Describe your campsite the way a realtor would describe a home or condo for sale. Be honest, but don't be afraid to describe the site in glowing terms.
