We have the necessary financing and experience to procure and install cabins to your specifications in the location of your choosing in the park. Your agency puts up no capital and it does not have to offer any sort of guarantees – there is no risk or expense at all. In return, we will collect the revenue from the cabins and pay your agency an agreed-upon percentage of revenue, the exact amount of which will depend on the length of the contract and the difficulty of the installation, among other considerations.

While the exact division of responsibilities between us and your local staff is flexible, typically we prefer to maintain and operate the cabins, paying all expenses from labor to utilities to insurance. We like to install cabins in groups of 8 to 10, the number that can be serviced easily by one camp host couple. Typically we either construct a host site for this couple or we lease an existing site from your park.

RRM-CLM Services has decades of experience marketing public recreation areas. Since we repay our investment in these cabins only if we can fill them with happy visitors, we have every incentive to become your park’s marketing partner. We have examples of public campgrounds we have operated where we have increased visitation by more than a factor of 10 in just five years. Most of the agencies we work with already have their own reservation system they want us to use, but we also have our own proprietary system we developed for the Tennessee Valley Authority that we can use as well..

While there is a lot of flexibility in contract length, our starting point is 18 years, though shorter contracts are possible if required by agency rules. Longer contracts allow for more investment and a higher concession fee payment / revenue share for the agency. All the cabins we install are very well-built with decades of useful life.

Cabins are, by far, the hottest new amenity in the recreation world. The availability of attractive, well-built, and highly customizable factory-built cabins has changed the game. While private campgrounds have installed over 10,000 cabins since 2000, public agencies have often lagged because they have had difficulty appropriating the capital dollars necessary in a tight post-2008 fiscal environment.

Our core business is the turnkey operation (and sometimes refurbishment) of whole public parks and campgrounds. We operate close to 500 locations and have worked with a dozen different agencies including the National Park Service, the US Forest Service, and State Parks. We care about the visitor's experience, and nearly every one of the campgrounds we operate are rated 4.5 of 5.0 or better on public review sites like Recreation.gov and Tripadvisor. We know that public recreation agencies often have different goals and requirements than private campgrounds, and we know how to form real working partnerships that work with recreation agencies.

Our goal everywhere we operate is to create a success for our public agency partners. Our investment, our operating plan, our visitor fees, our compliance rules – everything – are subject to approval by the agency. We never attempt to create our own brand or trademarks in your park – all of our marketing highlights the park name and agency.
