Campground AI - Reservation Management for RV Parks

If an entrepreneur "adopted" this product today, here's the realistic math.

Fermi summary

Sign 48 campgrounds at $200/mo and you've got $115k ARR - the math works, but Campspot already made this exact pitch to most of your prospects two years ago.

probability-weighted, after investment

Go-to-market motion

Direct outbound via email + phone to independent campground owners using ARVC/state association directories → 20-30 demos/month → 4-5 closes/month at $180-220/mo avg.

Key risks

Campspot, ResNexus, and Campground Master already own this market with deep booking history lock-in - the 'AI' differentiator rarely overcomes a migration project for a 60-site owner
Target buyers are predominantly 50+ owner-operators who bought software once, hate changing it, and have seasonal attention spans - sales cycles stretch 60-90 days and stall after Labor Day
Seasonal campground closures (Oct-Mar in half the country) create lumpy MRR, fall churn spikes, and a 5-month dead zone for new logo acquisition
